The Longest strairht Railroad Tr.o.

The New Argentine Pacific Railroad, from
Buenos Ayres To the foot of the Andes, has
on it what is probably the longest tangent
in the world. This is $40 klometers ,2Il
miles, without curve. In this distance
there is not single bridge and no opening
larger than an ordinary culvert, no cut
greater than one meter In depth, and no fill
of height exceeding one meter. There is
almost an entire absence of wood on the
plain across which the western end of the
road is located. This has led to the extern
sive use of metallic ties, which will be en-
pioyed on nearly the entire road.-St. Louis
Globe Democrat.

STOCKTON, Feb. 2-The new District At

to-day by refusing TO recognize a certificate
of special deposit In bank as legal
equivalent for money. When the new
Treasurer took his Office last month he
received certificates of deposit in the local
banks and, changing the depositary, &C
cepted their certificates for coin, his
bondsmen being principally stockholders of
the bank. The county furnishes no sale
place for the money and it is the custom to
deposit 1t in local banks. When the Chair

tor and the District Attorney were called TO
count tho money this morning certificate
of special deposit for $3.50 600 was not recog-
