Lighted by Electricity

And heated by steam, are the latest
improvements for tue benefit of It's
patrons, adopted by the Chicago, Mill
,waukee & st. Paul R'y. The vesti-
buled trains of this company between
Chicago, Milwaukee, st. Paul and
Minneapolis are now equipped with
the very finest sleeping cars ever
turned out by the Pullman company.
These cars contain twelve sections
and drawing room and smoking
room; have three lavatories for ladies
and three for gentlemen, supplied with
hot aud cold water. The cars are
equipped with modern closets, and
two OF the sections III each car are
draped to secure privacy when de-
sired. The entire train Is lighted by
incandescent electric lights, enabling
passengers to read the finest print in
any part OF The ear without difficulty.
No such trains were ever before run
in the northwest, and they are well
worthy the inspection of the public.
The prompt adoption ofallimprove-
ments tor the comfort and safety of
the travelling public By this great
company, accounts for It's high posi-
ton in the estimation of the people,
and gives it the bulk of their patron
age, notwithstanding the advent of
new lines into the field of competition.

EXTINCTION OF PLANTs.-A conf
mittee of the British association for
the advancement of science has re-
ported eighty-five flowers that have
become completely or practically ex-
tinct in Scotland. The white water
lily was curiously found to have been
nearly eXterminated in the Iochs about
Dumfries by the ravages of single
indivi Iual, who has now been warned
off the estates. A plant which existed
only in one locality in the country,
the Bog of Methven, was undoubtedly
destroyed by u flock OF black gulls
which settled in the bog and devoured
everything in the shape of vegetation.
Another plant, growing In single on
the bay of Nigg, was completely ex-
terminated by the use of the shingle
for concrete piers; and grass which
was confined toa patch near Moray
FIRTH was destroyed by the overturn-
ing of a tree. The disappearance of
plants has been largely due to the
injudiciousness of botanists.

Yankee Grit.


There is nothing like Yankee grit.
1t was grit on the part of Lieutenant
Ingrahan, commander of the sIoop-
ef.war st. Louis, that brought Aus
tria to time in the Martin Koszta af-
fair. 1t was grit that caused Conn
mander Wilkes to capture Mason and
SlidelI. 1t was the grit of old Ethan
Allen that captured triconderoga. 1t
was grit that induced General Grant
to declare that he would light it out
on that line if 1t took all summer. 1t
was Sheridan's grit that made him
declare to his soldiers at the battle of
Winchester that 1--WE will whip them
out of their boots" 1t was grit that
inspired Gen. Dix, when, as secretary
of the treasury i'll 1860, he sent the
dispatch to the lieutenant of the rev.
enue cutter at New Orleans, whose
captain refused to obey his order-;o
place the captain under arrest, aud
"if any one attempts to haul down the
American flag, shoot him ON the
spot" 1t was the grit of the signers
Of the Declaration of Independence
that caused them to pledge their lives,
their fortunes, and their sacred homo.
in support of the principles set forth
in that grand Instrument. 1t was grit
that caused General Joseph Reed, a
member of the old Continental con-
gress, to declare, when tlo,0o0 and
any colonial office in the Kings gift
Were offered him if he would use his
influence to restore the colonies to

A WALL OF FLIEs.-Among fly
pests, the sand flies of the Egyptian
deserts are described by late writer
as taking the palm. This observer
passed Fort Tel-el-Kebir on the day
after the battle there in 1882, and
asserts that he was compelled to force
his way through q wall Of fles which
was mile long, ten yards high and
forty yards wide, with "the flies so
thickly massed that they might be
said to be riding one on top of the
other and brushing each other side by
side.' The black wall covered the
line of the dead Egyptians. The
sound was deafening, and a heavy
pressure was felt as the terrified pony
was with the greatest difficulty made
to struggle through the mass.

STATE WEATHER BUREAUs.-The
establishment of a weather service in
each state, to cooperate with the
national service, is urged by Prof. f.
e. Nipher. Such organizations could
better study local climate, and could
thoroughly distribute the predictions
required by local industries. In 1893
the telephone will become public
property, when every farm may be
put in communication with the county
seat at sniallexpense, and may receive
weather Intelligence promptly. Prof.
Nipher believes that thiswill be done,
and that it can best be done through
plans worked out by state directors.
India-rubber Is being tried for
paving streets in several German
towns. The first pavement of the
kind was laid by HERE Busse, of
Linde, on the Goethe Bridge, in Han
over, in 1887. The material is claimed
to combine the elasticity OF rubber
with the resistance Of stone, and to be
perfectly noiseless, unaffected by heat
or cold,and less slippery than asphaite.

pair bonds of 1878 constitute the first
lien and mortgage upon the franchise
of the canal and possess the power of
foreclosure. The Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company holds a majority
of these bonds and can institute fore
closure proceedings. The Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad Company no
doubt bought the Chesapeake and
Ohio repair bonds to control the ca.
nal and prevent competition. The
management would probably be con.
tent to let the canal remain a wreck
and could well afford to sacrifice the
bonds it holds if by so doing it would
prevent the canal being a competing
railroad company. If the Baltimore
and Ohio should not take action look
ing TO foreclosure under the mortgage
of 1878, there are other methods
whereby receiver may be appointed
and the canal placed in process of liq-
uidation. If the Chesapeake and
Ohio Canal is offered for sale, there
would be at least four possible buyers
