To form true conception of the Roman
city we must sweep away all the accumu-
lated results of modern art and industry.
We must create tabula rasa, and remove,
ms the mere Pigments of fancy the cathe-
dral, the abbey, the tower, the swarming
throngs of Cheapside and the endless
squares of brick buildings that shelter the
millions of the London of today; dissolve
the splendid vision, and think only of the
past. Confined within the narrow limits
of these walls, its greatest length the river
front, its greatest breadth between Grip
plegate and the Thames, we see the Roman
city. 1t is inclosed by wall of stonework
and cement from twenty to thirty feet
high. Towers or castella appear at inter
walls.
IL was built upon the plan of all other
Roman cities, and resembled Pompeii or
Lndum. Its four chief streets, at least
forty feet wide, met in its forum; they
were perfectly straight and led directly to
the gates. At their side were narrow lin
ties, or lanes, all equally straight and free
from sinuOsities. The Roman engineers
laid out their strata with unchanginR reg
ularity. Every street was paved with
smooth stone, like those of Pompeii. Be
meath the streets ran the sewers and the
water ppcs-wo may assume-so invari-
ably found in every Roman city,-Walter

Propulsion of Trains by Compressed Air.

Propulsion of Trains by Compressed Air.
An ingenious method of utilizing gravity
in descending grades has been worked out
by an Italian engineer The engine in
running down grade congresses air,
which is utilized in propelling the train up
part of the next succeeding ascending
grade. The accumulators are constructed
for a pressure of $50 pounds, and the
mechanism designed for the alternate com
preston and utilization Of the air com
prises three cylinders, two of which are of
equal diameter and the third of smaller
size These three cylinders are connected
to one of the two coupled aXles carrying
the load by means of the usual crossroads
and connecting rods.
When ascending a grade these cylinders
work as n compound motor, and during
the descent the action is reversed, and they
compress the air into the accumulators ac-
cordinG to a regulated pressure. The com
mittee appointed to report on this system
are of opinion that it's use is at present be-
set with certain limitations, dependent
mainly on local conditions, such as grades,
curves, extent of traffic, etc; they decide,
however, that the system would be found
most advantageous in the operation Of
mountain railways, and in gradients
through long tunnels, where ventilation
is deficient, and where it is especially de
sirable to avoid the presence of smoke and
gasses, - New York Commercial Adver

Travelled by Himself.

When ID. p. Loveand, of northern Yer
mont, purchased a farm in Shelton seri-
Gus problem presented itself to him. He
had "A houseful of goods and some live
stock To sell them meant a sacrifice TO
him, so he set his Yankee ingenuity to
work to see how he could move his stuff to
his new home without too heavy expense
This is how he did it: He went to the sta
ton agent and chartered the largest and
longest box car to be had. Then he loaded
his goods into it. These consisted of all
his household goods, one wagon, n pillow
and horserake, 500 pounds of butter, fifty
bushels of potatoes, two barrels of buck
wheat, three horses, five cows, two pigs,
eleven sheep sixty chickens and three
turkeys BY putting up partitions and
making loft over the heads Of the cows
and horses for the smaller animals and
poultry, he got his live stock into less than
one-third of the car.
Then he began at the other end, and
packed in his household goods taking his
wagon and horserake apart for the sake of
compactness. These occupied nearly half
of the car. Then he slung a hammock
from the roof of the car, put in n stove,
running the pipe out of the door, and pre-.
pared to accompany the goods himself.
The trip occupied five days, and during
that time Mr.. Loveland occupied the car
with his effects. animate and inanimate,
and says he enjoyed the trip. His live
stock came out of their cramped quarters
in good condition. Boston Transcript.

Indian wolves have been seen to leave
some of their number in ambush Mt points
on the edge of the jungle while Others
drove in antelopes feeding in the open
ground beyond. But wolves, as a rule
hunt alone or in families, except when
pressed by hunger. Wild dogs, however
habitually combine to hunt, and Baldwin,
III his Game Of Bengal" mentions case
of four or five martens hunting fawn of
the "muntjac," or barking deer.
But in real military organization and
strategy, monkeys are far ahead of all
other animals, and notably the different
kinds of baboon. Mansfield Parkins gives
an excellent account of the tactics of the
dogfaced Hamadryads that lived in large
colonies in the cracks in the cliffs of the
Abyssinian mountains. These creatures
used occasionally to plan foraging eXpe-
dition into the plain below, and the order
of attack was most carefully organized,
the old males marching in front and on the
TANKS, with n few to close up the rear and
keep the rest in order,
They had a codetof signals, halting or ad-
vancing according to the banks of the
scouts. When they reached the corn
fields the main body plundered while the
old males watched on all sides, but
took nothing for themselves. The others
slowed the corn in their cheek pouches and
under their armpits. They are also said to
dig wells with their hands and work in re-
lays.-Spectator

How Fishes breathe.

A gentleman who found small fishes
dead wrote to Nature to ask; How is it
with the fish in countries like Siberian Do
they desert those parts of the rivers which
are frozen over or are the currents more
rapid, so as to transfer air beneath the ice
from unfrozen parts, or, as in some glacier
streams, are fish altogether absent|
Any one who has caught fish through
ice three feet thick on Maine ponds will
understand that fish live very comfortably
so long as any part of the pond remains
liquid. The waters of Siberia are likely to
be abundantly stocked with fish, which
will be found in the best condition when
their house is sealed with frost.
1t is not necessary to suppose that air Is
carried under the ice from open places in
the brooks There is air enough in the
water at all times to answer the purposes
of the fish, The presence of the air is best
discovered by allowing water slowly to be-
come warm in vessel of tin or iron. The
air, which is held in the water very much
rs water is held in sponge, is expanded
by the heat, and may be seen gathering in
small bubbles attached 30 the surface Of
the vessel. This must be matter of COM
mon observation.
Il is this air that supplies the fishes with
breath. It may be thought by SOME per-
sons that fishes breathe water. for the
writer has heard this statement made; but
such view is not correct. The fish has no

power TO decompose water and get the
needed oxygen from that source.
AS he is constituted he needs very little
air. lie is furnished with but little blood
and this is sufficiently oxidized by coming
II contact with air in the water forced
through the gills, which are his breathing
apparatus.
The effect of the air is seen when the fish
is taken from the water. The gills sudden
ly redden. This is due to the rapid oxida-
tion of the blood. The fish is killed by the
excess of air In the water he gets only
the proportion that he needs, Altogether
the fish must be very comfortable under
the ice during our hard winter

A Story of Meissonler,s vanity.

To make himself look more manly and
robust, Meissonfer frequently incased his
diminutive legs in huge cavalry boots He
prinked daily before the mirror, and was
never weary of comparing himself with
other small men, to show that he was real
ly not so very little. To the end he con
fided in his friends the pangs he ever suf.
fered on account of his small size. Occa-
sonally, but only occasionally, did Mes-
sonier find the desired consolation he
sought from his acquaintance. One after
noon, as the sculptor Dubois entered his
studio, Meissonier exclaimed joyfully;

There is an air Of expectation dis
l played at the state and navy depart
ments over the situation in Hayti. The
officials are becoming impatient at the
delay in receiving full and accurate re-
ports of the condition of affairs in the
black republic. Thursday the state de
partment received letter from Minister
Douglass, which was supplemental to
bis dispatch of the 2Sth Of May.
There were few details given, the min
lister merely Teiterating what he had
stated in his Cablcgram-n namely, that
the instruction did not amount 60 any
t9kg; that it was little more than a
street riot, in which one or two lives
were lost
Notwithstanding Mr.. Douglass tenn
perate report. officials in both the state
and navy departments are anticipating
trouble They know how mercural
Haytians are, and the appreciate the
fact that these street riots, us Minister
Douglass calls them, are pretty sure pre-
cursors of full revolution. The anxiety
to ascertain the exact situation has led
the department to cable Minister Doug
lass for full particulars.
Secretary Tracy has not yet decided
whether the condition of affairs ut Port
au-Prince, require the presence of Amer
lean men-of-war. This will not be de-
termined until further official report is
obtained from Minister Douglass. If
the slightest necessity exists United

toned, said the squadron of evolution
