A Land Mithout neht.

Happy Heligolandi The population OF
this tiny but favored isle--now number
ing $500 souls--is reported to be increas-
ing; so is the revenue, which amounts to
"a 1895. More satisfactory still, this flour
ishing possession had at the close of 1889
absolutely no liabilities beyond a sum of
e10, and even that was only outstanding
because the account was somehow pre-
sented too late for payment within the
year. Altogether, Heligoland sets an
excellent example to its neighbors, and
this Is the more noticeable because there
was time when 1t Jared far otherwise.
In noting with just pride that his sub
jects are content and orderly" Coy
ernor Barkly expresses hope that the
evil days Of debt and political discon-
tent, of which the reports Of some Of his
predecessors drew so dismal q picture,
are ended forever. Like q prudent ruler,
however. he reminds the Heligolanders
that the prosperity Of their tight little
island, depending as 1t does ON summer
visitors, Is necessarily precarious, and
expresses his determination to keep a
sufficient sum in reserve to meet the Sc
rious contingency OF "a bad bathing sea-

The first thing that they do is to utter
an exclamation, each in the language of

and look with wonder upon this strange

A Heavy Transaction,

local railway circles yesterday, when the
announcement was made that the Union
Pacific had determined to issue S12. 500. 0GG
guarantee bonds on the Oregon Saori
Line. A futile effort was made to have the
matter suppressed. AS understood in local
circles, the scheme was to bring out stimuli

per cent. collateral trust bonds, secured by
that amount OF Oregon Railway x Naviga-
ton stock, deposited with the American
Loan and Trust company, of Boston, as Sc
curities. The bonds are to bear date of
September ,, 1889, and to mature in 1919.
They are gold bonds, guaranteed by the
Union Pacific Railway cympany. Thesub-
scriptions are TO close to-day.
II is asserted by We'll informed legal
authorities that this scheme, if carried out.

A Lighting and Heating Car

A tender car for lighting and heating
through trains is quite fully described in
this issue. The experiment is one OF par
ticular interest. At first thought it seems
obviously bad economy to add q car to a
train, simply TO light aud heat it, but, says
the RditrOGd Gazette, under the special con-
oltlonS Of this case 1t seems to be economy.
We have not enough data TO make a care
ful estimate Of the operating cost of the
ST. Paul plan and therefore shall not at
TENT IL. The experience of the company
SO lar appears TO demonstrate that, where i.
IS desirable to light heavy through trains
by electricity and heat them by steam, the
separate tender plan is the best one vet
tried. That ii is desirable TO heat all
through trains by steam is pretty gen
orally granted;in tact,it has become almost
business necessity. Lighting them by
electricity is popular ana attractive at an Y
rate; but 1t Is by no means certain that it
VIII be very generally done. But where
the two are 10 be- done, no other plan
seems 10 promise better than that of the
separate light and heat tender.
The steam taken from the locomotive

found 10 be a severe drain upon Its cana

severer climate of Wisconsin and Mime

there are more wind and snow &c retard the

often enough TO prevent making schedule

and electric light are both to be used.

An Extensive PIeasure-Ride.

The iron bridge in process of construc
ton over Marble creek, near Nicholasville
KY, on the Richmond, Nicholasville, Ir-
vine * Beattyville railroad, was damaged
on May IS, to the extent of $4,000, as the
result of negligence of the Waterman and
innocent fun on the part of two young men
and their sweethearts stealing a ride on
trucks. The bridge is 216 feet high and
the span was over half completed. On the
day inquestion the parties started for 3
ride from the tunnel, approaching the
bridge on down grade. When they found
they could not stop the trucks they jumped
for their lives, as they neared the unfin-
ished structure. A moment later the
trucks ran into the traveller" and, with q
mighty crash, it bounded to the unfinished
piers and completely demolished every
