The Extension of This Line Into Liano
County Highly Probable.
The Fort Worth and Rio Grande road
Will be completed and running to Co.
manohe IN a very short time and specu-
iAtIou continues as to what the pro-
grsmme will be after that. The com
pauy has been at work for months run
ming lines beyond Comanche towards
Brentwood ana down through San Saba
and Llano counties, and it is said the
question of right of way has been set
tied all along both routes. Notwith-
standing the fact that lines have been
run and right of way secured on two or
more proposed routes, it is now regarded
as q certainty that the road will IN the
near future be extended from Comanche
in southern direction through, prob
ably, GoIdthwaite and San Saba coun-
ties into the iron regions OF Llano
county. Propositions of subsidy, right
OF way, depot grounds, etc. have been
submitted 10 the compauy's representa-
tives in Texas by different towns that
are amb tious for this road, aud these
propositions are now in New York and
will be acted on in a short time, al
though it Is believed that the officials
have already determined which route the
road will be built on.
II is also believed that in time there
will be built from Comanehs to Brown
wood branch of this road, but this will
not be done probably until the line from
Comanche to the iron fields has been fin-
ished. This road 10 extending slowly but
surely, and it is one of the best con-
structed roads, not only in Texas. but in
the South. There lie plenty of money be-
hind 1t, and 1t will most assuredly not
stop anywhere this side OF the Rio Grande
river for any great length of time.

WORKING HOURS ABROAD.
The Length of the Laboring Day in
Various European Countries.

A Turkish laboring day lasts from
sunrise to sunset with certain intervals
for refreshment and repose, says Cham
bers' Journal In Montenegro the day
laborer begins work between and in
the morning, knocks off at s for half an
hour, works on till noon, rests until
2, and then labors on until sun
set. This is in summer. In winter
he commences work at 7:30 or 8, rests
from IL to /, and works interruptedly
from that time to sunset. The rules re.
specting skilled labor are theoretically
the same, but considerable laxity pre-
walls in practice. In Servia the princi-
pie of individual convenience rules in
every case. In Portugal from sunrise to
sunset is the usual length of the worllin
day. With field laborers and workmen
in the building trade the summer work
ing day begins at 4:30 or in the morn
ing and ends at in the evening, two or
three hours rest being taken in the mid
die of the day. In winter the hours are
from 1880 to 5, with II shorter interval of
repose. In manufactures the rule is
twelve hours in summer and ten in win
ter, with an hour and half allowed for
meals.
Eleven hours is the average days
labor in Belgium, but brewers men
work from ten to seventeen hours; brick
makers, sixteen; the cabinet-malIers of
Brussels and Ghent are often at work
seventeen hours a day; tramway drivers
are on duty from fifteen to seventeen
hours, with an hour and half off at
noon; railway guards sometimes know
what it is to work nineteen and half
hours at stretch, and in the mining
districts women are often kept at truck
loading and similar heavy labor for
thirteen or fourteen hours.
The normal workday throughout Sax
ony is thirteen hours, with two hours
allowance for meal-taking. In Baden
the medium duration of labor is from ten
to twelve hours, but in some cases il far
exceeds this, often rising to fifteen hours
in stoneware and china works and cotton
mills; in saw mills to seventeen hours;
while the workers in the sugar refineries,
whore the shift system is in vogue,
work for twenty-four hours and then
have twenty-four hours free, and in
many of the Baden factories Sunday
work is the rule. In Russian Industrial
establishments the differences in the
working hours is something eXtraor-
dinary, varying from six to twenty. 1t
is remarkable that these great diyergen-
cies occur in the same branches of in
dustry within the same inspectors dis
trict and among establishments whose
produce realizes the same market price.

Compressed Tea.

An attempt is being to introduce the use
of compressed tea. 1t is claimed that it has
many advantages over loose tea, the chief
of which is that the leaves being sub
mitted to heavy hydraulic pressure, all the
cells are broken and the constituents of the
leaf are more easily extracted by the boil
ing water, thus effecting considerable saw
ing in the quantity required for use. Its
great advantages over loose tea, however,
would seem to be its more portable char
acter, and in the case of long sea voyages,
or for use in expeditions. the reduction of
its bulk to one-third. The compression of
tea in blocks further, it is said, constitutes
a real and important improvement in the
treatment of the Leaf. It Is claimed that
trouble, waste and uncertainty are avoided
and that exactitude in measuring is insured.
1t is also alleged that by compression the
aromatic properties OF the leaf are retained
for a much longer period, and that it is
better preserved from damp and climatic
changes.

Railing Drinking Wnter.

1t is the custom to believe that the most
impure water will be rendered pure by boz
ing, and that an absolute safeguard against
the danger of water containing disease
germs is thus afforded. While it is true
that boiling kills the germs Of disease, yet
the fact has been pointed out by the very
highest authority that while boiling kills
the germs OF particular disease, it yet in
reality, renders the water more impure than
it was before, because by the very death OF
these germs dead organic matter is allowed
to remain in the water, which is shortly
polluted by putrefaction. Hence, while
boiling is a most excellent precaution
against the occurrence of typhoid fever or
similar diseases, it must be borne in mind
that the water is not necessarily purified,
but that simply the power to produce spe-
cifc disease is removed.

A Truusposipa Piano.

Concert goers to whose lot it may have
fallen to listen to a song being delivered in
one key while the accompaniment was
played in another, will greet with satisfac-
tion the introduction of transposing piano,
by means of which music can be transposed
into any key at will. The object in view is
accomplished by movable back, j. e.: The
solid back. upon which the strings are
strung, instead of being rigidly fixed to the
case, as in the ordinary way, is fitted on
rollers, and is moved literally with the
greatest ease by means of lever
underneath the keyboard at the side of the
performer. In all other respects the con-
struction is the same as in the ordinary
piano. Any desired change OF key can be
made in two or three seconds. The move
ment can be worked with perfect ease, and
the mechanism is of SO simple a character
that its liability to get out of order is prac-
tically nil.

op,IcnI Lnmp 10 Scene Painting.

A Photographic journal points out how
much the theatrical scene painter can be as
sisted BY the use of the optical lantern. The
usual course in painting scene is first OF
all to make small sketch of the compost
tion, and then to rule lines across 1T SO as to
divide it into squares. Similar squares are
then s'struck" by charcoaled strings on the
large primed canvas as a guide to the artist
who then reproduces the sketch in its en-
larged form. All this would be greatly
FASTENED and simplifed by photographing
the original sketch, and throwing the image
of the negative upon the whitened canvas,
so that the scene painter could follow the
outlines with charcoal or brush. In paint
ing rooms Of limited area there might be
difficulty in finding space fos the lantern;
but there would even then be the alterna-
tive of making the enlarged sketch on the
stage ITSELF

back to Loncd the balloon having accom-
plished the journey in 20 minutes less than

was very interesting, and when at an alti-
tude Of 1900 feet, as recorded by the
aneroid barometer, the throbbing of steam
engine could be distinctly heard, also the
report of q sportsman's gun, accom- panied
by the bark of dog. The travelling was
at the rate of shout % miles an hour, but to
the aeronauts the balloon was apparently

that, on emerging from the clouds. they

Two.Sheil Boilers.

An English engineer proposes to make
boilers capable of withstanding greatly in
creased pressures by constructing them o
two shells and maintaining a pressure in
the space between them. A boiler to work
safely under a pressure of $50 pounds would
consist of an inner shell capable of with
standing pressure OF 150, surrounded by a
shell whose safe working pressure was 100.
Reducing valves allow sufficient steam to
pass from the inner boiler to the space be-
tween the shells to maintain the required
pressure, and the inner shell is thus sub
jected to an unbalanced pressure of only
100 pounds, although containing steam at
25O. Each compartment is, of course, pro-
vided with safety valves.

treatment will be acceptable. Battle the
feet before retiring at night in strong So
luton of salt water, to which should be
added liberal quantity of saleratus. Dry
the feet carefully, and use smooth piece Of
pumice to remove any particles of rough
ness that may appear. Repeat the opera
tion the following morning.
