gratifying fact that Deputy Collector McClel-

he has been allowed to retain his place so long
is a mystery, especially to those familiar with

OF course when the Novosti" Of ST. Petersburg
declares that Austria is menacing the peace OF
Europe" it follows that the Gar is in highly
belligerent humor. The Gar, in truth, has at

from the miserable administrative methods oil

Something has been said recently about the
abuses Of photography, and it must be admitted
that Just now the amateur with his snap or
detective, camera, is little obstrusive and an
noying. But, according to the law OF proDa-
btics, this fad" will not last great while, and
something will spring up to which the devo-
tees of the camera will bc able TO devote their
energies Meantime it is we'll to consider tie
increasing number of uses to which photography
is being put. One illustration comes from Nrw-
Brunswick, ~ j. where the students of Rutgers
College were lAvng "A high old time" the other
night, after locking professor in his room. The
professor trained camera on the dlsorlerly
crowd and came within ace of getting flash
photograph of them The picture would have
been invaluable as evidence, and the camera may
vet prove a useful auxiliary in college discipline.

4 Bold Project.
ON the London Iron.

FROM the LONDON iron.
The boldest electrical project yet
suggested is one which is under con-
sideration in Russia for line from
st. Peters burg northeast TO Arch
angel, on the White Sea, distance
of over 500 miles. 1t is proposed to
furnish the electric current from a
series of generating stations distrib-
uted along the line, and the cost of
the undertaking, including rolling
stock, is estimated at only about
$4,000 per mile. Archangel, the pro-
bosed northern terminus, lies "a IL
degrees north latitude, close to the
Arctic circle. 1t is far above the lati-
tude of Hudson bay, and almost as
far north as the narrowest part of
Behring's Straits, the suggestion of
crossing which by a railway has
been assumed by many to be imprac-
ticable. 1t may be that electric
ity will furnish the solution
of the difficulty of operating
railways in extremely cold regions,
which attends the use of steam. Evil
IDENTIFY an electric railway can be
built of any desired length if power
generating stations are supplied at
proper intervals, and hence it be-
comes only question of obtaining
sufficient traffic to warrant the cost of
construction and operation. The cleo
trio locomotive has no steam or water
pipes to freeze and burst in the in
tense and long-continued cold of far
northern winter, and electricity by
which trains can be lighted, will
doubtless ere long be successfully APP
piled to the purpose of heating also.
Should the remarkable enterprise of
an electric railway to the White Sea
be actually carried into execution, it
will not be hard to believe that
similar line may re pushed through
Alaska to meet at Behring Strait an
extension of the Russian railway sys-
tenn through Siberia, and complete a
continuous railway line uniting
America, Asia and Europe.

. Neatness Along the Track.

c NeatnesS Along the Track.
From the Boston Herald.
The Boston and Albany railroad
from Boston to Worcester is about as
fine a rebuke to careless housekeepers
as can be read by those who run. Not
scrap of paper, not a twig even,
dares fall along the line, or if they do,
they are quickly removed, as is
every other trace Of rubbish.
Walls, fences, the shrubbery
by all the way stations, all
bear evidence of that immaculate
keeping which the big road believes
in and maintains at the cost of eternal
vigilance, not to mention the greater
expense of dollars and cents. People
who have travelled in England and on
the continent are won't to deride the
appearance of American railroads,
but much has been learned from for
eign systems, and it can not be adj
mitted now that our companies
are behind in the structure or
the appearance of these arteries of
travel. The Boston and Albany has
some of Boston's most priced suburb
an towns strung like beads on its
iron threads, and it is as much to the
advantage of real estate owners as it
is to the pockets of the stockholders
that this high standard is so admira-
bly, preserved.
