The Tehaumtepec Ship Railway.

(S, Y. Mining and Engineering Journall
 Tbe announcement IS mals that tho contract for bailding this line has been let to the Atlantic < Pacific Con. structon Company Ion very favorable terms, which are not stated. In recent interview Mr Wm. Roseburg said:
 Under the articles of agreement werk on ths construction of the road is to be begun within IS months from this date, and must be finished within five years from the date of the com mencement of the work. In other words, the company will have six and one-half years to complete tie con tract. Work on the roadbed, howev- CT, has already been commenced, and considerable of the grading has been done by Mexican laborers. The road is to bo 135 miles in length and IS to extend from a small town called Min natitlin on the Atlantic coast to Lake Superior at the Pacific terminus. The cost will amount 10 in the neighbor- hood of S50,000000, and the road, when built, as far as durability and finish are concerned, will be equal to any of cur well-built American roads.
 It is to be hoped that it will be built with tina contingency in view of hay ing to carry the ships aAoat in dock instead of simply supported dry on truck as is shown on the published views of the great project. Tbe nest eminent shipbuiders have again and again stated their disbelief in the prac- tlcability of carrying loaded ship un injured over such 8 road, and we do not believe that Lloyds would be will llng to insure them after having made the trip. It will, however, be possible to carry ships ahoat in water lock, or caisson, as IS done on some of eur canals, and as was proposed more than sixty years ago by those able engineers, Hazard and White, who proposed to carry canal boats from the hsadwaters of the Lshigh river down into the Susquehanna river in the Wyeming Valley.
 The Chignecto Ship Railway, new offered to contract in Nova Scotia, will solve the problem long before the Tchauntepeo road is finished, and If it should show, as seems probable, that it is not practicable to transport ships safely in the manner proposed, it will yet be time to adopt the water lock in which tho vessel will float This would necessarily vastly increase, probably treble, the load to be earned, but it undoubtedly would carry ships with safety

The sonora Military Court.

A Nogales dispatch of June 20th says: The Mexican CrlmInal Court, or more properly the Sonora State Military Court, has convened at Guay- mas, and tho docket is an unusually heavy oRs. A large number of cases before the Court are those in which the defendants, if found guilty, and few who appear before this court are found otherwise, will suffer the death penalty. Few men go into thIs court and survive long after its adjourn meut The probability is that before or immediately after tho close of this term there will be a big shooting match, and the country will be re- ljoyed of large number oi hard cases Two have already attempted to escape, which means that they received teo much official attention" One of thGm, Maritime, was one of the high
 waymen who nearly killed q French man for the purpose of robbery near this place short time ago, and the other one was an cx-peliecman of No
 gales, Sonora, who was arrested fer passing counterfeit money. They were sentenced 10 a term in the regular army, but the guards reported that they attempted to escape and were killed. This is the fate of these charged with crimes which do not warrant open execution. The Sonora tralu-robbers are before tho same Court. Taller, the leader of the gang, has given up all hope. Theio are about fourteen murderers before the Court who expect the death penalty.

Age Of Progress.


 The Indian Spectator, published at Bombay, repeats what is so often re. ferred to m our newspapers, that this IS wonderful age as regards seien- tlhc discoveries. The telephone has become an old story, the microphone may soon be so. Recently we have had number of important inven- tons. First, there s the happy meth cd hit upon of so storing and shutting up water that it forces its way out at the exact moment 1t is most wanted The especial merit of tho mechan- ical arrangement here adopted is that the fire which IS to be extinguished itself hberates, as from a priscn where 1t lay inert, the water that IS needed to oyerpower it. One may well wonder how such & simple plan did not for so many generations sug gest itself to the human mind.
 There have been of late two notable inventions in connection with rail ways. One of them IS destined to be of great practical goed When train IS Tn motion, a wagon CT carriage is put In front a hundred yards or more in advance of the carriages, It iscen- nected by wires with the carriages be- hind. If any accident happens on the way, this carriage Tn front, which is empty, bears the brunt, and at the same tune communicates at once the danger to the train behind, and sets to work powerful brakes which check its speed. Only few years ago near ly the whole of railway train was preeipitated headlong into a rlyer from bridge. The bridge was broken, but It was not known, hence the catastro- phe. Similar calamitles we have now the means of escaping. The other in yOntion promises .d enable us 10 send telegraphic messages while the train IS in motion.
 The art of photography is net at standstill. Modes are discovered of reproducing one colsf after another et the original. Then, it may be so con trived now that the whole photograph ic apparatus can Do carried in the pocket
 Indeed, this is an age of discoveries. It iS not easy ts say how the face of the earth may be transformed in a few generations by virtue of the ad- vances made in science and art. How much to do, how lit done, comes home to eur hearts when we contem- plate the slow, the extremely slow, rate at which we in this country (In- dia) are borrowing-let alone origina- ting new ideas.

rrayelIss by Pneumatic Tube.

Colonel John H. Pierce of New Yerk, has inverted system for rapid transit for land and sea by eontinu- ous pneumatic current with arterlal tsrminations. Colonel Pierce hopes te lay doubis- s-bayreled pneumatic tube across the ocean by which passengers can travel at the rate of 600 miles an hour. The cars can bo made either 1000 feet long or ten feet long and will have wheels sn all sides. Hong Kong, under the new system, will be reached in twelve hours, and Central Africa in SIX hours. Singe tickets good for either of the points mention ed ought not to cost more than S20 apiece. Before laying the Atlantic tube, Colonel Pierce proposes to expet- iment with several short ones in the vicinity of New York. People might laugh at him. Colonel Pierce said, but the inventors of ali great improve ments had been laughed at until their enterprise had proved successful.

A New York man has made small fortune of $25,000 in two months through an invention. He had often noticed the trouble which school chil- dren have in cleaning their slates, and he invented little tin box, in the bottom of which is sniall sponge sat urated with water. In the center of the box be placed piece of tin drilled with holes, and on top of this another small sponge. A pressure moistens the upper sponge and the slato can be instantly cleaned, One firm of sta tionsrs purchased 10000 gross of the little invention and the lucky inventor hopes ts become million ''N

The Prince of wales Diverse Engaseulents

The Prince of Wales has been open ing Young Mems Christian Associa- ton gymnasium. Ills address, in which he spoke fselingly of cur yonng men who are exposed to many tempta- tons in a great city like London, ap. pears for some reason to have a great store of honor iu it, and the hope IS expressed in somo journals that he may yet be seen on the Salvation Army platform. The rrotean eharae- acter of his Royal Higbness' public engagements is somewhat trying. One day he is a sportsman at Q race track, and the next is a leader of so- ciety, an eminent Free Mason or a pillar of church. All tue obstacles ars smeotned away for him by his versatile Secretary, however. His speech is always handed to hlm to read, and as leng as no mistake is mads in the speeches the occasion IS impressive to the loyal looker-on. He reads in a guttural voice, with an ac- cent mere German than English and an uninformed spectator would fad il difficult to believe that the fist, neatly gloved and quietly dressed little gen. ilsman was not a German visitor.

Southern Politicians Meet to Discuss
the Issues,
A number of prominent colered Repub-
lican politicians from Maryland, Virginia,
West Virginia, Tennessee and North Car
olina held q star chamber conference in
this city ON Thursday and discussed at
length the prospects of Republican sue
cess in the ensuing campaign.
A large majority of these gentlemen
have more than q local reputation, are eff
fectiye campaigners and WELD powerful
influence among the colored voters of
their respective States.
Opinions were freely exchanged, and it
was intimatcd that the straightout colored
Democratic and Mugwump leaders re.
eeived better recognition from the Demo-
cratic party than the Republican cOlored
voters do from the Republican party.
Many of the Republican leaders enter
tain the idea that the colered vote is ire
dcemably mortgagcd to the support of the
Republican party, and from all indica-
tons they intend to silently ignore the
fact that II is factor in deciding political
issues. The colored vote was not consid-
cred of any importance in 'Si.
After discussing many of the phases
that the campaign may likely assume be-
fore November next, the conference adj
iourned, each member declaring his pur-
pose to educate the people up to the ideas
here expressed.
