Russia's New Railway Route.

The Siberian Pacific railroad has not
yet been commenced, and already new
Siberian railway is projected. 1t will be
called after the river Obi. It's connection
with the bed of that stream and with .
suitable port to the west of Walgatz
Island will open double new road to ST.
IBERIA by land and by water. 1t is pro-
posed to ''circumvent" the mouth of the
river Obi, the peninsula of Yalmal and
the Kara sea, which are difficult of access,
owing to the masses of drifting ice. The
new route will only be 400 versts long,
taking a northwesterly direction from the
mouth of the river Obi to the Walgatz
sea, in bay of which harbor is to be
built. The site chosen for this harbor is
sheltered from the wind by the PaSChoi
mountains.
The country being level and well stud
ded with forests, the construction Of the
line will offer little difficulty. The entire
cost, including the harbor, is estimated
at &c, 900, 900 rubles. Under existing con-
ditions the transport of mSchandise to
Barnaul, via Tlumen, Perm and St. Pc
tersburg to London takes three months,
whereas by the new line two months
will be saved. Western Siberia produces
annually 100000 Russian pools Of
wheat. The opening of the Obi line will
materially increase commercial inter
course with the west, and be the means
of supplying the European market with
wheat at a considerably lower price than
that produced at home.-Paris Cox. Lon

English and American Women.

English and American girls bear off the
palm among the nations of the world.
There is, however, a difference between
their respective qualities of beauty. /
have elsewhere sufficiently portrayed the
sweet and coy beauty of our American
girls not to tell them the whole truth on
this occasion. The English girl is thor
oughly active in her pursuit of healthy
exercise; she walks, and runs, and plays
lawn tennis a great DEAL riding, if she
have the means, is one of her most favor
lte amusements; while boating and tri-
cycling is eagerly sought whenever op-
portunity occurs. Our American rose
buds" on the contrary, have q very trying
climate to contend with; they take too
little exercise and too much iced water.
The result is that English girls are able
to bring more roseate bloom to their
cheeks, to walk longer distances and to
stand much more fatigue; they are, in
fact, more robust and have better devel-
oped figures; and although there are, no
doubt, in New York, or in any other large
city of the United States, dozen women
as perfectly beautiful in form and face as
any chiseled by the greatest artists, our
American girls are in the main less bright
In color, more delicate and pale than would
otherwise be the case if they more stead
fastly resorted to the invigorating means
Of health, outdoor exercise, long since
adopted by their English sisters, and to
which, doubtless, the latter owe their ex-
euisite forms and also the fact that they
remain youthful in appearance much
longer than our compatriots; in fact, an
English woman of 40 looks younger than
an American woman of 80 years; of course
do not now refer to women of the work
ing class.-Frank Leslie.

Method of Electric Acupuncturc.

The Chinese, we are told, employed
acupuncture at least 1000 years since,
and the Japanese adopted it long ago.
Their practitioners employed puncturing
needles Of gold and silver, and their manu-
facture was an art of great Importance.
They were of different shapes-some
bladed like swords, and others of the ordi-
nary needle form. At the end of the
Eighteenth century acupuncture was in
troduced into Europe and was developed
In the present century NJ. Gaiffe, a
French electrician, has recently con-
structed variety of needles for electric
acupuncture, especially applicable to the
perforation of painful tumors, SO as to
avoid unnecessary pain.
BY the electric acupuncture the current
is conveyed into the tumor and applied at
the point where it is most required to
effect the dissolution of the morbid liquid
contained in it. For this purpose the
blade is vanished, except at the point,
and thus insulated, so that the current
only escapes at the point. Glass or India
rubber has been used to coat the needle,
but insulating varnish is preferred, since
it does. p06 thicken the probe SO much.
The1b4R ccd of the needle is connected
toNSA pole of the voltaic battery used,
and there is conducting plate applied to
the skin and connected to the other pole
When, therefore, the needle is forced
into the tunor the current flows from it's
point to the conducting plate through the
flesh and decomposes any unhealthy fluids
there may be in its passage. This process
aids the absorption of these secretions
and the destruction of the tumor-Phil-
adelphia Record.

Care of n Coal Oil LamD.

Although the daily press prints copious
statements of horrors, many people con-
tinue to confde in the common oil lamp
with fearless reliance nothing short of
incredible, considering the well known
dangers associated with it's careless man
agement. Some of the state legislatures
hove enacted laws to regulate the manu-
facture of kerosene oil, limiting the flash
ing point" to not less than 100 degs. Fab
renheit. This, however, appears to be an
illusory safeguard Experiments seem to
have conclusively proved that most of the
lamps made will, even with the best quail
ity of oil, generate gas in sufficient guam
titles to cause violent explosion. A
writer in late number of The Scientific
American compares the ordinary kerosene
lamp to miniature gas machine, making
gas and depositing it in the oil tank as
effectively as though it were an apparatus
especially designed for that purpose.
1t may be worthy of mention here that
the gas thus referred to is an element
capable of exerting immense energy when
ignited, but this contingency can be al
ways provided against by using a good
lamp and keeping it we'll supplied with
oil, so as to leave little space in the tank
for gas. Under these conditions lamp
that is carefully handled and never re-
plenished while burning will rarely or
never explode.-''L. NJ" in Boston Bud

Bond of q Bank Messenger.

ut would be difficult to convince q
person that there was a single walk Of
business life which was not overcrowded,
said the bookkeeper Of down town bank.
"But in our business there are always
places open for alert young men as mes
sengers. The reason why the demand is
always greater than the supply is on &C.
count Of the large security required by
the bank. The messengers, who have
certain districts to cover and who handle
large sums Of money every day, are re-
quired to furnish bonds for $4,000. The
salary is 5000 per year, not counting the
bonus which every bank pays all it's en-
ployes around the holidays and which
amounts in their case to $500.
"There are many honest young men
who would look upon such job as god
send. but they are unable to furnish the
bond, while those who can command the
security are apt to turn up their noses at
a job paying less than So per day. the
5000 bonus. if collected in lump, would
prove nice little nest egg to many of
these young men, but | am sorry to have
to say that such is seldom the case. There
is sure to be Shylock in every bank who
makes business Of advancing on this
bonus at exorDitant rates of interest,"
New York Evening Sun.
