Railway Cars In Russia.

The Russian railway cars are made Of
iron thruughout-the walls, the roof. the
floor and the partitions. Even the Win
dow sasheS are made of metal. There Is
no wood about them except the finish
ings. which strikes one as a good idea,
particularly since the ~holocausts that
have recently occurred Oh our railways.
The plates are not more than half an
inch thick, so that the cars are light as
well as substantial, and there is no rat
Ting sound. When the plates get loose
| suppose they are taken to the shops and
frightened.
The exterior is painted an indigo blue
and handsomely vanished, but there is
no superilu0us decoration. The interiors
are luxurious. the walls being covered
with white silk brocade. and the long
sofas, which extend across the compart-
ments al right angles with the car. being
upholstered in the richest Russia leather.
The sofas are as comfortable as Turkish
easy chairs. and when one sinks down
into them he thinks of the hot and hard
seats he is accustomed TO at home. The
second class cars are finished in plush, in
a similar way. only the sofas have parti-
tons 50 that one cannot lie down, and
there is ordinary paper on the walls, The
third class cars are perfectly plain, with
seats running lengthwise and mcush-
ioned, like ears Of the elevated railroads
in New York. William Eleroy Curtis in

Uorsc Power In whales.

Sir William Turner, the eminent pro.
fessor of anatomy in the University of
Edinburgh, recently delivered a lecture
TO the members Of the Philosophical in
stitution OF that city on Whales: Their
Structure and Habits, in the course Of
which he referred 10 a point Of consider.
able interest to engineers. which was the
horse power eNerted hy the tail of large
whale. Regarding the length Of full
grown whales, Professor Turner re-
marked that the porpoiSe was four or
five feet long, whereas the Greenland
right whale was from fifty to sixty feet
long, and he said that the great iinner
whale. which frequently visited the
British seas. reached the length of eighty
feet or even more. An animal Of the
latter sort was stranded at Longniddry,
some years ago.
After speaking at some length on the
structure of whales. the lecturer made
some remarks on the rate Of speed at
which they travelled. 1t had been esti-
mated. he said, that the Greenland whale
could attain n speed of nine or ten miles
an bful. AAAAt Nidl Nlt lAllAl NlialiN 4
tanned even a greater speed. In all
probability, the Longniddry whale could
propel itclf through the water at the
rate Of twelve miles an hour. and the
sperm whale was capable of driving itself
along at the same rate Of speed. lie had
asked John Henderson, of Glasgow, the
well known builder of the Anchor lines,
to assist him in arriving at the horse
power which must be exercised by n
Of these great whales so as TO acquire a
speed Of twelve miles an hour, and he
put the case Of the Longniddry whale
before him. 1t was eighty feet long,
weighed s~eventy-four tons, and bad a
tail eighteen to twenty feet across from
the extreme ends Of its ilangeS. With
these data, Mr.. Henderson calculated
that a whale of the dimensions men,
toned, in order TO attain a speed twelve
miles an hour, would require 10 exercise
a propellinS force of 1i5 horse power

A Few Odd Nick Names.

"Did you ever notice" inquired a law
yer, .'that in nearly every occupation
the CAPABLE worker has a nick name for
the botchcr who is engaged in the same
business? Take my business for an Illus
tration. The first class lawyer is called
an attorney or counselor. while the 'ne'r-
do-well Is termed q shyster. At sea an
incompetent sailor is called a marine; on
land the third rate actor is called a ham
fattcr or barn storuCr; the shiftleSs
newspaper reporter or journalist, a
blacksmith; the physician who never
cures, the quack; the cheap steyedore, a
Jumper; the looking glass prize fighter, a
beefer.
''-All the terms are used IN reproach to
to make a distinction between the good
and the bad worker. To call a sailor a
marine is worse than calling him a MUIR
derer. You might just as well say he
was clumsy or ignorant of his duty. At
sea when a captain calls one of the occu-
pants Of the f~Orecastle a marine. the un-
fortunate is made TO come on deck and
shoulder a h~andspike. This is the worst
kind Of punishment in the eyes of an able
bodied SEAMAN. The term .yier' is also
used at sea, but not for incompetency,
but TO n eamau who tries 10 shirk his
duty. These terms are recognized in the
courts, too, for | recall an instance when
a Capt, Murray, in nm angry mood, called
n lawyer Of san Francisco a shyster.
The lawyer began action against the cap
tain. The latter on the stand testified
that he did not call the attorney a shy
ster. but n shy sir. II WIS aclever move
on the part Of the captain, but the court
refused tn believe him, and he had 10
pay."-New York Mail and Express.

Destruction of Disease Germs.

Cleanliness isagreat enemy of bacterial
life. Secure, as nearly rs possible, per-
lection in drainage, ventilation and water
supply. Overcrowding. stagnant water,
decomposing animal and vegetable mat
ter. and foul drains, furnish very favor
able conditions for the development, or
rather the breeding, Of germs; for. re-
member that the specific germs ere never
spontaneously generated. Bad hygienic
surroundings may induce disease, but not
the specific contagious diseases to which
we have referred. Finally-the most
important point-eXclude the germs; for
as a field, bc it never so well plOwed and
fortified, will not yield a crop without
seed, so, however favorable the conditions
for breeding fevers and diphtheria may
be. they will not occur without the intro
duciion of germs. To exclude them re-
quires constant and painstaking watch
fulneSs. The enemy may gain admission
through the milk supply, through i'm
properly disinfected clothing, or through
personal c~ontagion, which it is almost inn
possible To avoid.
Many germs possess great vitality, and
when once they have gained access to a
house, or any of its contents, resist de-
struction most persistently. They may
be destroyed in various ways. Bi.chlo-
ride If mercury in solutions Of | part TO
1000 to 5000 is efficient; carbolic
acid. l 10 90 to 80. and heat, es.
pecially in the form of hot steam, are all
useful. Fumes of sulphur are also good
in closed rooms; but nothing can take
the place Of cleanliness and w%atchfulness
against the Introduction OF disease germs.

made further Investigations and the
indications now are that the company
he represents will soon establish their
works here. The details of the plans
now on foot cannot be given at present,
but we can say that they will undOubt-

works will give employment to several
hundred men and bring thousands of
