An Opportunity to Relieve Temporary
Hunger and Distress.
Nearly every city aud town in the State
is just now overrun with men idle and
hungry. There is little or no work in
progress on the ranches, and farmers have
dispensed with all their men except enough
TO care for the livestock. Here in Sacra-
mento one can hardly pass along block
without being asked for the means with
which to procure something to eat.

least a dozen men every CAV. said 10 n

Pise's Peak Cogwhecl Railway.
Scientific Ameriean.l


 On the 24th day of September a faint blast reverberated down the rocky sides of Pike's Peak announced to the world that the Peak Railroad" was no longer a fancy, but fact. Eight hundred men and one hundred and twenty teams of horses and mules were set at the work of constructing the roadbed. Ali provisions, tools, and camping outfits were transported to the camps along the line on the backs of mules and burros by trail. None but tHose familiar with the Rocky Mountain region can form an adequate conception of the enormity of the work. The precipitous cliffs of solid granite, the deep canyons and ravines, the snow fields of great depth, seem obstacles set by nature never to be surmounted by man. Yet to-day the roadbed is completed, except one mile of the line on the summit, which will be left until after the spring thaws. The work was commenced near the summit in the fall and con- tinued downward, so as to escape the great severity of the winter in such an altitude.
 The trip from Manitou to the sum mt will take an hour and forty-fiye minutes; the down trip, half an hour less time. The entire length of the road is somewhat over nine miles, and the elevation overcome between Man ltou and the summit is about 5000 feet, nearly 1000 feet to the mile. The maximum grade is 9 per cent, minimum per cent, with an average grade of 17 per cent. The company are considering the question of light ing the road by electricity, so the as cent can he made by night, and the s1nrjsa be witnessed by passengers in tie. lnorning on the summit. Tbe road will be completed, in all proba- blllty, by next June, and will then represent more than half a million 3ollare.

Proposed Swiss ssOuntaia Ra.l~sy.

A project for railway to the sum init of the Jungfrau, which rlses to a helght of about 13,670 it., has latteriy assumed more tangible shape Two deslgns have been proposed, one by Mir. Morltz Kockiin, at one tune con- nected with the building of the Eifel tower, and the ether by Mir. Traut- weller, engineer of the St. Gothard and Brunig railways. The first Is un- dersto0d to have received ide most favorable consideration. The noun tain line proper will be about 2 miles long. This section Is to be bpiis either on t'le rack system of Ike Mount Fla tus Railway CT lt i2 to be divided into five sections of cable liHe worked by water power. At the end of each of the sections the passengers will be transferred to a car on the succeeding section. 4 reservoirs on the summit of the mountain. supplied by serles Of pumps at different levels, Is to furnish the required water power. Mr. Traut- weiler's design provides for an under ground line over tbe whole mountain section, thus seeking to avoid climatic difficulties. There are to be four sec tions Of a large pipe conduit, and the power Is to be furnished by means of a cable. To drive this compressed air is to be used instead of water power. Mir. Kochlin's estimate of the cost of building the line is 39000Ol., while Mir. Trautweiler's estimate foots up to to 230 GQol.-Scientifc American.

 The French have succeeded ln mak-- ing a powder that is nearly sruokeless. The manufacture is a secret owned by ,he Government.

On trial it has proven sue cess 30 long as the powder IS kept warm; but recently when tie ,rar- tridges were tried lR cold weather they most unexpectedly failed to ex- plode. Repeated trials have shown that the powder has no value except in summer weather. Hence, 1t is claimed that the invention is failure.

Two French soldiers are now serving life sentences Tn prison for trying to steal q single cartridge 10 sell to Germany.

Bars of gold aud silver bullion, howavar, are used in commerce, and the Mexican silver dollar circulates extensively in the seaboard cities. lt Is now proposed by the Chinese Gov ernment to make silver a money met al, and to issue series that will cor respond somewhat to our dollars, halves, quarters and dimes. The coln- age will be uniform throughout tbc vast empire, wltG it's 430.O00000 pop ulAtion-at least six and half tllnes that of the United States.

The followers of the religlous mountebauk Schwinefurth in Illinois are evidently as creduleuS as the de- iuded people in Oakland who believe in the coming deluge thatis to destroy San Francisco and Oakland. For any one to believe in these days that Christ Is incarnated in a German ad- venturer who has been convicted of swindhng his dupes is something which at first sight IS incredible. Yet Schwinefurth has gained hundred of converts and has made fortune out of them. In tie same way 1t appears impossible for any one to actually put faith in the prophecies of lunatic who has been consigned to the Stock ton asylum. Yet we are assured that scores of people Tn Oakland are pre- pairing to fee to the mountains to es- cape the destruction that they regard as sure to come next month. These two cases show the rich field of public credaIlty that is open to the unscru- pulous charlatan and suggest that some restrictions should be devised for preventing such fragrant swindling.- $.
