Malaria was comparatively unknown-to-day
it is as common as any word in the English

all are caused by troubles that arise from q

A Royal Railroad Equipage.

The negotiations which have been hang
ing for some time between the Wason
Manufacturing Company and the agents of
Luis l., King of Portugal, for palace car
for the use of the royal family of Portugal,
were completed last week, when the con-
tract was signed. The company was asked
some time ago the cost of such car, and
their terms were accepted, but the COM
pany demanded that the amount should
first be deposited with finn of New York
bankers. This was done last week, and
work will be begun on this royal equipage
right away. The car will cost about $751;
co., and, as BELTS royal taste, it will be of
the finest, most costly and snowy materials.
The designs have not been wholly decided
upon yet, but the general features of the
car have been chosen. The outside will
be very highly finished, and. probably the
color will be white The interior wood
work will be of mahogany, of which two
or three varieties will be used to produce a
handsome effect, and the wood will be
deliberately and handsomely carved. The
Ger will be divided, like the ordinary
palace car used in this country, except
that at one end of the drawing-r room tier
of berths will be put in, which will not
mar the beauty of the interior when not in
use, and may be divided off when required,
so that good-sized stateroom will be Sc
cured There will be a buffet and the
usual smaller compartments, having the
latest improvements The car will be
made in the same way as the Chilean cars,
that is, it will be made and set up, and
afterward taken down, boxed and freighted
to Portugal.-Spriaqfetd Republican.

his arms about his mothers neck, ut

longed but been to proud to make. And
what load was off his mind when it was
done, and his mothers tender kiss of for
giyeness was on his cheek You may be
sure that as long as he had home be-
meath his fathers roof, Ralph never again
neglected duty to his mother.
1t has been over forty years since this
incident happened which l have related,

long-dead mother to whom he owed the

A WONDERFUL FIND IN KANSAS.
Companies Forming TO Produce Thou
fands of Barrels of Salt Daily

A Hutchinson, Kansas, correspondent
says: Prior to November 1887, the ex-
istence Of the great salt beds that underlie
hutchinson was not suspected, and the
discovery was matter of accident. Ben
Blanchard, known throughout several of
the Western States as professional town
site boomer" found the salt while drill
ing hole in search of natural gas, which
was believed to exist under South Hutch
inson, Blanchards annex to this town.
The salt was struck at depth of 425 feet
from the surface, and the deposit was
found to be about 800 feet in thickness.
Since that time several other parties have
sunk drills in various localities in and adj
jacent to Hutchinson, and in each case the
vein" has been found at about the same
distance from the surface, while the aver
age thickness runs about the same-300
feet The Importance of the discovery
was not at first completely understood, and
it was only after some of the ablest chem
lists in the country had pronounced Hutch
insons rock salt TO be Of the purest that
the citizens here awoke to the fact that
they have at their feet a source of wealth.
Several analyses have been made of the
samples taken from the different wells,
and they all run about the same, showing
the salt in its natural state to lack less
than one-quarter of l per cent. of absolute
purity.
The first firm to commence active oper.
ations was that of Guinloclx & Humphrey
of Warsaw, n. Y. They have had their
reduction works in operation for the last
three weeks, and are turning out SOC
Sacramento daily record-union. [volume] (Sacramento [Calif.]) 1875-1891, 1888-05-19

barrels of salt per day. They use the
evaporation process. By means of FIVE
inch well they flood the salt bed with
water from the surface, pump the brine
thus formed into immense yats, under
which fires are kept going day and night,
! and, these watts being kept boiling all the
time, evaporation goes on rapidly, leaving
the pure salt in the vats to be raked out
and wheeled to the great warehouse, where
it is barreled and loaded into the cars.
The process is simple and cheap, and will
be used by most of the companies that are
now fast getting ready cooperate. Two
companies have been formed with a view
to mining the salt, as is done in Austria
and, while it costs a great deal more to get
ready for business, the mining companies
think the greater output will more than
repay them. Each mine, when in full
operation, will turn ont 5000 barrels per
day. The combined capacity of the re-
duction works already under construction
will be 5000 barrels daily. Biologists are
now of the opinion that salt can be found
under the greater portion of the Arkansas
valley, and it is probable that in time
other points than Hutchinson will be ready
to supply the world with Kansas salt.

Attractions of home.

A beautiful home is not necessarily an
expensive one the flowers and trees are
the least costly of the luxuries. When 9
child grows to man or womanhood, the
memory of home is not of architectural
effects or soft carpets, but of the roses that
clambered over the veranda, the bed Of
violets under the window, or the beautiful
trees under which they played these are
the memories that time cannot efface, and
is often the strong tie that binds to better
things. The breath of violets borne on a
passing breeze, or vine-clad porch will
often, like one of ''The Old Songs" bring
back to memory the wise councils of 4
loving, now angel mother.
Is it to be wondered at, that so many
grown up without flowers, trees or music
the refining senses stunted, should care
nothing for the beautiful, but only the
gross things of life.
1t is the duty of every parent to moi
alone educate their children for business
but to adorn home with the beautiful
things of nature, that it may ever be en-
shrined in the memory of their children
as the most attractive spot on earth.-Cdlt

velocity Of Transmission.

According to Professor Gould's inyesti-
cations it appears that aerial telegraph
wires on poles transmit electricity at the
rate of from $4,000 to 10000 miles per
second, and that the velocity of transmits
sion increases with the distance between
the wires and the earth or, in other
words, with the height of suspension; and
that subterranean wires, like submarine
cables, transmit with reduced rapidity.
Again, while wires suspended at q feeble
height are known to transmit signals at a
velocity of some 10000 miles per second,
those that are suspended higher give a
velocity of from 10000 to $4,000 miles,
Wheatsione's claim of 2SS,000 miles in
his experiments appears never to have
been confirmed.

Raiiroading Under Difficulties.

The bridge over the classic Oxus, on the
line of the Russian transcaspian railway,
is 1000 feet longer than the Brooklyn
bridge The entire railroad is remarka-
BILE piece of engineering. Itwas considered
impossible to maintain railroad through
the shifting sands of the Kara-Kum des-
ert. But General Annenkoff, by covering
parts of his roadway with clay, by placing
in his embankments layers of the branches
of desert shrub and by cultivating along
parts of the route many thousands of des-
ert plants, the roots of which retain the
sand, has thus far maintained his road-bed
without deterioration. The problem Of q
water supply was solved by bringing water
in pipes from mountains that skirt zoe
miles of the route, also by canals from the
Murghab while artcsian wells are the
source of supply between Merv and the
Oxus
