The Ways of Nature.

In the universe every thing is changing
and every thing is in motion, for motion
itself is the first condi ton of vitality.
The firm ground, long thought to be
immovable, is subject to incessant mo-
ton; the very mountains rise or sink;
not only do the winds and ocean cur
rents circulate round the planet but
the continents themselves, with their
submits and valleys, are changing
their places and slowly travelling round
the circle of the globe. In order to
explain all these geological phenome-
ma it is no longer necessary to i'm
'agine alterations in the earth's axis,
ruptures of the solid crust, or gigantic
subterranean downfalls. This is not
the mode in which nature generally
proceeds; she is more calm and more
regular in her operations, and, chary OF
her ri ght, brings about changes Of the
grandest character without even the
knowledge of the beings that she nour-
ishes. She upheaves mountains and
dries up seas without disturbing the
flight of the gnat. Some revolution
which appears to us to have been pro.
duced by mighty cataclysm has, per-
haps, taken thousands OF years to 40
complish. Science.

SLAUGHTER OF TRAMPS.
A Brakeman Tells How the Gentry of the
Road Steal Rides.

A Brakeman Tells How the Gentry of the
Road Steal Rides.
Statistics of the number Of tramps
killed annually in railroad accidents
are appalling, but no attention is paid
to this wholesale slaughter of an un-
desirable element of society. However,
for the amount of travelling done by
the worthless gentry of the road, the
accident rate is very small. Scarcely
passenger or freight train makes trip
but one or more tramps ride on the
trucks or ''blind baggage" Should an
accident occur they are very liable to
be injured, but the number of marvel
Gus escapes they make causes one to
imagine they lead charmed lives. l
was on a train two weeks ago when l
saw a tramp escape in a way that was
simply marvellous. Our train ran on
a switch and into q freight. The two
engines were badly smashed, and the
first passenger car was piled on top
of the freight engine. The engineer
of the former and both firemen were
killed. When everybody had rushed
out and the true state Of affairs was
discovered, there emerged from under
the cars piled on the engine, a badly
scared tramp who was not injured at
all. He walked away very calmly after
shaking himself. and no doubt left on
the trucks of the next train. These
fellows become very expert at riding in
difficult places. As the cars are ex-
amined at most stations, they have to
hide between the trucks or get of. In
the latter case they run under the car
and resume their place while the train
is moving. "Blind baggage is another
method of stealing a ride. This is a
technical phrase to designate the plat
form of the baggage-car that is coupled
to the engine. There is no entrance to
the car, and hence when the train starts
at night the tramp runs and jumps to
the platform, where he can remain I'M
seen until the next station, where he
jumps off as the train slows up. He is
safe from the conductor and brakeman,
and is only in danger of discovery from
the engine. The fireman and engineer
if tender-hearted will not disturb him,
but otherwise they pelt him with coal
and throw water upon him until he is
glad to leave when the train stops. If
he has luck he can ride all night more
safely than on the truck, but he gets a
dose of cinders and smoke from the
engine.-St. Louis Globe-Denocrat.
