A Bicycle RAILROAD.

E. Moody Bovnton, of Newburypert,
the widely-known manufacturer and poll
tician, has invented what is known as the
bicycle railway aud expects to revolution
ize the entire railway system Of the world.
A locomotive which is Rnike any hereto
fore constructed is building at the foundry
and machine shops Of Albert Russell &
Sons, in Newburyport. 1t is designed
especially and solely for service on the
new railroad. The cardinal principle OF
this railroad is that the tracks are not
both laid on the ground as we commonly
see them. One IS laid on The ground and
the other is laid on the underside of a
framework Which is above and directly
over the lower track The engine and
cars have wheels on the bottom and double
trucks above. In this way the whole is
steadied on the rail and cannot fall over nor
off the track. tits expected that great speed
will be attained on account Of the com
parative lightness of the train and also
beoause of the loss of friction. The idea
is patented in every country in Europe, q
well as the United States and other nations
of the Western Hemisphere,-3he r. Y
Globe.

Brandy f.om Sawdust.

y contemporary says-goodneSs knows
how truly-that brandy can be, and in
deed has been, made from sawdust. 1t
seems that the discovery was made by a
German chemist rejoicing in the name of
Zetterlund. This ingenious Teuton, after
boiling 9 cwt. of sawdust with cwt. of
hydrochoric acid in 30.7 cwt. of water,
under pressure of less than two pounds
to the inch, found 3.33 of the mass to be
grape sugar With two and half hours
of further boiling he found the grape sugar
to be GAS per cent. of the mass. After
neutralizing the acid with lime until the
cooled mas; contained but half per
cent, according to Luderdorf's test, at Sc
degrees, ferment made of 20 pounds Of
bruised malt was added. In SO hours fer
mentation was complete, and distillation
afforded 81 quarts of brandy of 80 per
cent, so degrees, perfectly free from odor
or taste Of turpentine and of very agree
able flavor. Herr Zetterlund considers it
probable that the process might be success
fully carried out on large scale if the
amount Of water and the time of boiling
were accurately determined by expert
ments. BY conversion Of all the cellu-
lose into sugar, each cwt. of air-dried saw
dust would yield at least 27.4 quarts of so
per cent. brandy.
Absinthe, the favorite intoxicant of the
French, is almost always manufactured
with alcohols of industry, ill-rectifed, rem
dered green by the addition of the sulphate
of copper, and saturated with resin, so as
to give it the beautiful greenish-white pre-
cipitate produced by pouring water on it,
and which drinkers so much admire.
Yarmouth" another favorite liquor, is
adulterated with hydro-chloride of sui
phuric acid, in order to give it pungent
taste. "Kirsh" is extracted from the
leaves of the cherry laurel, and contains
as much as TWENTY-FIVE centigrams prussic
acid per litre, instead of FIVE or six cent?
grams Rum is manufactured always with
alcohol distilled from beetroot, to which is
added ether and formic acid. The bou-
quets" of brandies are manufactured by
the action OF sulphuric acid on castor oil.
The coloring matters employed are ex-
tracted from logwood, the elder, sorrel,
fuchsine and coal. Such is the trash
which is daily consumed by the Parisiahs.

Reclamation of Arid Lands.

Congress has been asked for an appro-
priation of two hundred and fifty thousand
dollars to pay for the preliminary work of
dammlng up the canyons of the Rocky
Mountains, from the Dominion line to
Mexico, and thus forming vast reservoirs
of water to be used in the irrigation of
arid lands, and preventing the disastrous
floods on the lower Mississippi. The area
of arid land in the United States is about
100000 square miles; and Major Powell,
Director of the National Survey, estimates
that at least 10000 square miles of this
might be reclaimed-a territory exceeding
In extent one-half of all the land now cul-
tivated in the United States. The plan
is to build dams across all the canyons in
the mountains, large enough and strong
enough to hold back the floods from heavy
rains and melting SHOWS, and then to let
the water down, as it may be needed,
upon the lands that would be reclaimed.
The preliminary work for which the
appropriation is asked is to pay for sur
veys to determine the sites and locations
for the dams, reservoirs, canals and irriga-
ton areas; the total volume of water sus-
ceptible of storage, and the loss through
evaporation and seepage in the reservoirs
and canals; the area of land to be served
by unit of water; the value of the re-
deemed land for the growth of the crops
adapted to the climate and soil: the ex-
pense Of constructing the dams and canals
and the expense of maintaining them !;
what vested rights, if any, exist.
With ample appropriations, at least two
years will be required for this preliminary
work. Major Powell, who has probably
studied the Rocky Mountain and arid
region more carefully than any one else,
declares that the scheme is a perfectly
feasible one, and that the cost, though
very great, will be but small fraction of
the value of the land reclaimed. While
the western portion of the United States
is not yet crowded when compared with
Europe, or even with other parts of orr
own country, it is no longer true that
"Uncle Sam is rich enough to give US all 4
farm" But if 10000 square miles of the
arid lands of the United States could be
reclaimed, the limits of our agricultural
development would be enormously ex-
