There is psoi.a.,tl;:g = that the III
habiiants os .Ar,e-ica during the next
century will be allie to 90 from Sex
York.to London By rail. 1t is not cx
pected that anyone will go this route
to save time, for he will be obliged, /
in traversing it, to go westward, and
thence around the globe; but it |
would give the traveller an opporturi-
ty to visit many foreign countries, |
and literally TO see the world. An
ocean steamer has already made more
than 500 miles in one day, and the
Atlantic is now t-aversed in six days,
while the proposed trip around the
world would require perhaps double
or triple this time; but the novelty OF
the trip would be something remark
able.
The projected route is from New
York across North America to a point
| beyond the northwestern boundary
Of the United States; thence to Beh-
ring straits; across there to the coast
of Asia; across Asia and Europe.
The great gap is at present across
Siberia, where there is no railroad.
I However, the recent movements OF
/ the Russian government tend towards
putting rails across this. territory.
From the western continent OF Eu
rope to the Ural mountains there is
now communication by rail, and the
! Gar Of Russia is said to be much in
terested in two lines of railway across
Asia. These roads terminate On the
eastern shores of the Pacific, the one
terminating at Orenburg, the other
at Ekaterinburg. But in order to
make the chain of railway around the
globe complete, the distance from St.
Petersburg to Behring straits must
be trayersed. This region has not
yet single line of railway.
The Russian government, feeling
the necessity Of spanning this terri
tory, has sanctioned line of railway
to be built across it, terminating a
Vladivistoek, near Japan, almost due
west from Portland, Ogn. The con
tinents Of Asia and America ar,
much nearer at this parallel thai

TN addition to the improved engines,
there Is now much more attention to
detail In the construction Of ships than
was the case some years ago. There
has been modification and Improvement
In the model, and In the construction of
the hulls steel has almost entirely sup
planted iron. thus considerably increas-
ing the strength and lightness Of vessels.
Some still lighter material, such as
aluminium, may prove available in the
far distant future. but for the present
much greater results are being looked
for from increased power than from
any new progress in shape Or construc-
tim. The adoption Of the twin screw
propeller, employed to some extent on
English war-ships many years before
its value was properly appreciated,
marked an important epoch In the his.
tory of transatlantic travel, being
equally valuable as an instrument Of
speed and Of safety. But 1t is easy to
believe that discoveries Of no less i'm
portance are coming some OF these
days. 1t is idle to try TO foresee the
future Of electricity or OF .er substi-
tutes for steam, but tourists of the
future may be horriiied to think that
We poor nineteenth century mortals

lation to know that we u mako sew

HOUSEHOLD.

BREAD MAKING IN INDIA.-Infian
yeast is made from the sap Of the date
palm. In April, before the flowers ap-
for the leaves al in all palms are all
borne at the top. The mans feet are
bound together by a rope and about his
hips are fastened two pots for the re-
ception Of the sap. AS he climbs he
calls out: "Darpor, darpor, alta ham,"
which, being interpreted is: "The palm
Taper is coming"
This is for the benefit of the Moham-
medan women. who might be sitting
unveiled In the c~ourtyards of the houses
exposed TO the view OF the climber after
he has risen above the tops of the walls.
A Taper who once fats to give this
warning cry is thenceforth forbidden to
ply his trade.
A European who sees this perform
ance for the first time, not knowing
what tile man is after, is very apt to
take him for an ape, to which animal
the brown and nearly naked Ilindoo
bears a striking resemblance. When
the Taper has reached the crown OF the
tree he cuts two gaslies in opposite sides
of the trunk with an ak, which he has
carried up in his mouth. Then he fast
n the pots under the gashes and des-
cends. The full pots are taken away
and empty one put in their place twice
daily.
The sap has a sweet taste, and con-
tains some alcohol even when fresh.
After standing in the sun in great
earthen pots for q few days it begins to
ferment, after which it deposits a thick
white substance. This, taken at the
proper time, is used as yeast. The ma.
tives also make vinegar ard a kind of
distilled liquor from the palm sap. The
Indian iour-mill is very primitive, con-
sisting Of two great millstones, of which
the lower is fast, and the upper is usu-
ally turned by two women who feed the
wheat by bandfuls into q hole which
passes through a stone. The meal so
obtained is simply mixed with the palm
yeast and baked in verv hot ovens,
which have been heated for several
days. The small European householder
finds it convenient to patronlze
the Mohammedan bakers, of whom
however the bread must be ordered in
advance. Sometimes two or three Eng
lish families combine and hire a baker,
paying him a monthly salary and pro-
viding him with raw material. The
Hindus eat unleavened bread made by
mixing flour and water and baking in
thin loaves or cakes on m iron plate
over a wood fire.

HEADS AND BRAINS. The more in

sciences.

A countryman, sitting in the little

number inside, then at his own, and
said:

The Profit on NIckels.

A recent circular issued by the
Treasury Department proposing to ship

States, and how it is that they a afford

of these inquiries has been the disccov.
cry that the nickel costs at the mint
