A New Hand on the Job.

The main telegraph wires in Lon
don run through the subways in
which the gas pipes and sewers are
placed. The principal arteries are SO
large that it is easy enough for men
10 work in them, but the pipes
through which the side wires branch
off are much smaller, and great care
has to he taken to preserve the con
Ecction between the main and the
lateral wires. Some time ago men
were repairing one of these latter,
and carelessly omitted to attach it
10 leading line by which il could be
drawn to its place when mended.
The blunder seemed likely to have
serious consequences, for it was
thought that the whole OF thelateral
pipe would have 10 be dug up in or
der to get at the broken wire. But
one OF the men came to the rescue
with a happy thought, suggesting
that rat should be procured, and
with a fine piece OF wire attached to
it, sent through the pipe. This was
done, but, to the dismay ofthe work
men, the new hand came to n stop
after it had gone n few yards. The
inventor OF this idea was not, how
ever, at the end OF his resources, and
by his ndvice a ferret was procured
and started on the dilatory rats
track. There was moment OF sus-
pense before it was settled whether
the rat would show fight or run
away: but this was soon ended by
the paying out of the wire, and in a
short time the latest addition to the
staff oil the postotiice appeared at he
other end of the pipe. 1t was
caught, the wire detached, and then
il was set free in recognition OF the
service it had rendered. BY means
OF the wire the telegraph line was Sc
cured, and n long and laborious piece
of work saved. The Loudon Table.

Our Railway Mileage.

The railway mileage of the United
States increased only about 900
miles during 1884, making the total,
ia round numbers, 125,6O0 miles.
The climax of railway construction
was fenched in 1882, during which
year the mileage increased IL 500
miles. The year 1873. the last of
shrinkage of values preceding the
business revival which eliminated
1880, gave an increase of only q
666 miles, but it was not business
depression alone that checked rail
way construction in 1884. The in
crease of mileage has been greater
than the increase OF population and
commerce, so that time must be al
lowed for the nation to grow uD to
the railway facilities already pro-
yided. Important lines are yet to
be constructed, and undoubtedly the
mileage will creep steadily upward
for IA long time TO come, but no eX-
pnnsion like that of the last fifteen
years can be expected. In 1869,
when the last spike of the Union and
Central Pacific was driven at Ogden,
Utah, the railway mileage of the
United States was less than A, 900
hi e.. The magnitude Of the expan-
sion can understood by remember
ing that the present mileage of the
United Kingdom OF Great Britain
and Ireland is less than 10. 900 miles,
or only about three times that o.
the State OF New York. This com
paTison will be sufficient TO indicate
TO any intelligent person that il
would be folly to expect railway con
struction in the United States tc
continue at anything like its rate
for the last fifteen years, and thu
most marvellous developments may
be witnessed in other parts OF the
world. England is considering thu
project OF constructing 10000 milei
OF railway in India, and the PLAN
for the expenditure OF $3.50, 100000
have already been drawn. China j
not mn inviting field for railway con
tractors, but Japan is and Airici
may soon be.

The W .nd.s wneat Harvest.

The w -hd's wheat Harvest.
From the Boston Herald
The estimate Of the worlds wheat
harvest for the present year, pre-
sented at the recent millers' conven-
ton in Edinburgh, give a total for
Europe of 155, 100000 quarters.
The estimated total consumption for
Europe is 175,OoO,OOO quarters,
leaving balance to be obtained from
other parts of the world of 10, 3O0,-
600 quarters. The countries having
an average crop, or above the aver
age, are Austria, Hungary, Belgium,
Denmark, Germany. Greece, Holland,
Italy, Norway and Sweden, Port
ugal, Roumania, Russia, including
Poland, Seryia, Spain and Switzer-
land. Those below the average are
Bulgaria, France, Turkey in Europe
and the United Kingdom. The Eng
lish deficiency-that is, the amount
which must be obtained from foreign
sources-is put at 10, 10000 quart
ers, or about the equivalent of the
European deficiency. The increase
in the price of silver will tend to re-
/ strict shipments from India, for the
! reason that the profit on these ship
| ments has for some time past been
found in the premium obtained by

An Italians Ingenuity.

An Italian on the river bank has

children an outing with the least
possible exertion to himself. He
places his three children in baby

rope about twenty feet long is tied.
The bank behind the house has n
gentle decline, so that a brisk push

wing down the grade. When the

flight is checked by cord. But the
