The Nitrate railway between Iquique
and Pisagua, Chill, is remarkable ex-
ample of engineering skill. Starting
from Iquique, it is carried along the face
of precipftous cliff, overlooking the
town, to station called Mollee, eight
miles from Iquique, situate 1000 feet
above the sea level. The gradients are
extremely steep, and some Of the curves
have radius of only $50 feet. The en-
gines used on this line have been specially
constructed with the view of overcoming
these obstacles. They are built with a
double set of boilers, over central fire
box, with funnel at each end, present
ing an aspect wholly unknown on any
other line. Their weight ranges up to
ninety tons.-Montreal Star.

A dispatch from Jacksonville, Fla,
dated April 20 says: w. w. Stanton.
mate Of the schooner Addie Schaefier.
while fishing for bass 300 miles off st.
Augustine, drew in his line and found
entangled therein the strangest fish, if it
Is a fish, that has ever been caught.
This strange creature is about six feet
long, pure white and scaleless. The
head and face are wonderfully human in
shape and feature The shoulders are
well outlined, and very much resemble
those OF a woman, and the bosom is well
defned and shows considerable develop
ment, while the hips and abdomen con
unue the human appearance. There are
tour tlppers. two of which are placed at
the lower termination Of the body. and
give one the impression that nature
made an effort to supply the strange
creature with lower limbs. Mr.. Stanton
contesses to quite fright ON first sight
OF his queer prize, which, on being drawn
ON board, gave utteranCe to a low, moan
ing sound, which might easily have been
mistaken for the sobbing of baby.
1t Ia extremely unfortunate that Mr..
Stanton did not succeed in keeping the
creature alive, which he thinks might
have been done, as the strange object
lived two days after being taken. The
schooner has been thronged all day by
curious visitors, who express much won
der and establishment ut the strange OBJ
Ject. Mr.. Stanton, after visiting several
ports and showing his queer creature,
Will donate it to the Smithsonian insti-
tuition. The fish or mermaid is in a
large six foot glass jar in alcohol.
