Fast RailrOadinS.

There is an item going the rounds of
the press again concerning the higher
speed Of European railroads as compared
with those OF this country, remarked the
travelling auditor o. one OF Oh c.go $
trunk lines the other night 1t the
Palmer House. 1t should be called in
| spent last summer in Europe, and
while there | studied the railroad situa-
ton pretty thoroughly. The average
speed of our passenger trains is con
siderably higher than the average of
similar trains i'll England, Germany
or France. England has two trains and
Germany one which make very fast
time for comparatively short distances,
but all things considered, the European
roads are not to be compared with ours
for moment in point of speed, service
or safety. The English coaches are
much lighter than ours and this should
increase their speed; but in point of fact
it does not, while the English trains
have none of the conveniences of modern
railway travel in this country. The
only point where Europe beats us in the
business is in having better
stations. Within the next twenty five
years the United States will surpass the
rest of creation in this regard too.

How the Treasury is Guarded.

The Treasury watch is composed of
seventy veteran soldiers, who are cut
into three squads dividing every twenty
four hours into three equal watches Of
eight hours each. The men wear no
uniforms, and would not impress the
casual visitor to the Treasury during
the hours when the public is admitted.
The guards go unarmed during the day,
but at night carry large forty-two
calibre six chambered revolver, which is
too large to be concealed in pocket and
must be carried in the hands all the
time. Every one who passes the Trea-
sury at night may see pacing to and fro
in the lofty area between the granite
pillars and the wall of the building
solitary figures. A person cannot APP
proach within hundred feet of the
building without seeing guard. Such
Waterman, sic. and marshal in bear
ing, guards each OF the four entrances
to the Treasury. The guards who
traverse the corridors at stated intervals
touch electric buttons to announce their
presence in certain parts of the building
All this system of interior watchfulness
was the work of Secretary Folger, who
during his term in office lived in con-
slant dread of an attack on the Trea-
sury. So far as human watchfulness
can be relied on the Treasury is guarded
but there must be new sales and the
Commission will soon report to Treas
urer Nebeker It's recommendations for
building new vaults and Strengthening
the old ones.

Climate in Woodland Regions.
The climatic advantages of woodland
regions have once more been strikingly
illustrated by the international weather
reports OF the last six months. Droughts
are reported from all the north coasts of
the Mediterranean; droughts and famine
from Southern Russia, droughts, famine
and locust swarms from Algiers and Mo-
rocco; while the we'll wooded west states
of Germany and Switzerland are getting
rain enough to justify the hope for fair
crops. In East America, too, the shorts
drought of last May has been followed
by abundant showers, aud the Ohio
Valley expects the largest grain crop
harvested i'll this country. The treeless
West, on the other hand, is sharing the
fate of the Mediterranean coast lands
Not drop of rain has fallen in western
New Mexico since March; droughts have

HE WANTED A SHOCK.
A Maine Man Had His Curiosity More
Than Satisfied.

a Meino Man Had His Curiosity More
Than Satisfied.
The upper Pine street man who does
not come into town often stepped into a
Lisbon street druggists one day, and
seeing a dry electric battery on the
counter began to ask questions.
After his curiosity had been satisfied
he said that he'd like shock. He was
given one, but it didn't suit, and he in
timated that he preferred the business
end of fluid battery to the action Of
the so-called dry battery.
Under the counter the apothecary
keeps very large fluid battery. 1t is
a peculiar battery also. 1t is out of Or
der, but it goes spasmodically. Now it
moves easily and softly, and now it rips
and tears and just rears up on its hind
legs and kicks. 1t is vicious machine,
but this man is big and strong and he
wanted a real hard shock, and-well,
he got it.
Fixing the battery in order and set
ting it to buzzing, the druggist went
back to his desk and left his callar in
the ecstatic enjoyment of the warm and
that battery. The day was quiet in the
store, and the ''buz-z-z-z'' of the battery
alone broke the stiffness.
Suddenly there was yell. 1t was
an awful yell
.'See here! Hi. therel Whoa, there!
See here! Wha-hi! Geewhitakerp'

druggist.

MILITARY ACTIVITIES.

NUMEROUS assertions from the army

The causes are arrears in pay and poor

THE French army has 131 200 horses,
$1,000 of which are substitutes. The
appropriation for them this year is
100000 more than it was last year.

minister of war has contracted in
foreign countries, all the Russian ship
yards, as Novoye Vremya reports, are
busy building war vessels of various
sizes.
