Possible Speed of Locomotives.

A correspondent, writing OF the claim
that locomotive has travelled three
consecutive miles in forty five, forty-six
and forty seven seconds, says: The occur
renee is not an unusual one, but it was
down grade, for no locomotive in any
country is able to attain that speed on a
level track. No locomotive in this or any
other country mas made an authenticated
record OF one hundred and twenty miles
in one hundred and twenty minutes with
a train of three to five cars behind it, for
the simple reason that the present loco
motive, with the present boiler pressure
of one hundred and forty pounds, is not
able to do it.
The average time of the fast trains on
the New Jersey Central Railroad is
under forty seven miles an hour for only
two hours and ten minutes run. So tits
of little importance to run down hill at
the rate of 1925 miles an hour for a
short distance, and crawl up hill at the
rate of twenty-five to thirty miles an
hour. Persons reading such informs-
tion-that locomotives have run a mile
in forty-six seconds-are apt to assume
that they could do this for an unlimited
time, up hill and down dale. Down
dale is all right, but it is the going up
bill which cuts down the average speed.

FACTS ABOUT MOSS.
The Important Part Which 1t Performs
iu the Work Of the World.

The Important Part Which It Performs
iu the Work Of the World.
We are accustomed to thinking of the
| lovely moss as one of the 0rnamentlng de-
vices of nature; q pretty covering for sur
faces that would otherwise be hard and
bare, or else dank and repulsive, and a
| graceful drapery for rocks and trees. In
the hundreds Of varieties Of MOSES which
| are known to the botanists, there are many
which are SO eXQusitely beautiful in them
| selves, so delicate in tint and texture, and
so soft and warm in effect, that we transfer
| them to our houses for the uses of decora-
ton.
The mosses, however, perform part in
the work of the world which is more i'm
portant than that of decoration. In them
nature often. makes beautiful beginning
toward clothing utterly waste places with
soil upon which plants and trees may live,
and which may become capable of support
ing human life.
Upon the rocky surface of ledge, in spots
where the force Of the sun is least strong,
and where most moisture is found, we see
thin MOSES forming. Gradually they grow
thicker and stronger. The patches that
they have made extend and meet each other
until a considerable surface is covered over.
As they develop, their growths decay, and
rich, dark mold is formed beneath. The
seeds of other plants lodge in the moss,
which holds them fast, and the moisture
makes them spcout and grow, sending their
roots along the layer Of mold. A begin
ming has been made for vegetation upon
the rocks Gradually the MOSES are driven
out by stronger plants, which run their
roots into the crevices of the rock; but the
moss, by its death, makes the life Of the
herbage that follows it possible.
The grass grows where the moss made
its soft, feeble beginning; the decay Of the
grass thickens the turf from year TO year,
and thus makes soil at last upon which
beasts may Craze, or which may be culti-
waited. Or if, as is more likely, the sur
roundings tend to make forest on the
spot rather than grassy slope, the tiny
shrubs yield to larger bushes, and the bushes
make way for the trees, which, sending
their roots among the rocks, often rend,
them asunder.
Perhaps the newest, and, in many ways,
the strangest, use Of moss is that to which
the Quinine planters have found it may be;
put. In taking the bark from the cinchona'
tree, from which quinins ls obtained, strips
of untouched bark are left, in order that
the trees may not be killed. Il has been
found that if moss is applied to the spaces
on the tree, which have been stripped Of
their bsSk, new bark forms; and this new
bark is actually richer in Quinine than tho
original lpoytions.-youth's ConpSHioa.

Wells College Burned.

AURORA, N. Y, August 9.-The main
building of Wells College was burned this
morning with its entire contents. Morgan
hall and laundry were saved by the hard
work of citizens. The fire is thought To
have started in the kitchen. 1t IS said that
there is insurance of 100000 which will
not cover half the loss. The foundation
for the extension of the main building was
nearly done.
