Secretary Blaine, through Gov Pattison,
has addressed Il long communication to Dis
trict Attorney Darte Of Wilkesharre, Pa
requesting him to furnish to the state de
partment at Washington all the particulars
Of the NJ, untain tragedy in luzerne county
over two years ago. when a railroad con
tractors paymaster, named Mcclure, WAS
killed by Italian assassius. Contractor Nc
Fadden of Philadelphia was building a sec
tion If new road for the Lehigh Valley rail
road on the mountain In his employ were
two railroad men named Barney Mcclure
and Hugh Flanagan. The former was pay
master and the latter stable boss. On the
morning Of October ~. lSSS, Mcclure
drew SIP 900 from the Wyoming bank at
Wilkrsbarre and proceeded to the mountain
IN company with Flana yan to pay the men
In a lonely spot in the road both men were
shot dead and their money taken. Mr.. Ne
Fadden employed private detectives and
spent 5000 in running down the aSsassins.
The crime was finally fastened on three
ltalians, two Of whom He'd to Italy, while
the third as arrested, tried, convicted and
hung Before his execution the latter made
confession fully duplicating his two com
panions An unsuccessful attempt wa,
made for the eNtradition Of the two Grim
inas, the Italian government claiming that
the men we're to he tried for a similar Of
fence mmitted before coming to this coun
try. 1t is believed, however. that they wer,
never brought to trial and the ease is said u
be stronger one than Italy has against ouI
government for the lynching of Italians il
New Orleans The sum Of money which
the criminals carried with them to Italy
was at least 100000
Mr. Blaine is evidently very much awake
and very much in earnest in looking aftel
the interests of our government in the com
plcation which Italy has attempted to rais'
with this country.

The Pau-Americnn RaiIrond.

The facts about the proposed Pan-Amer-
lean railroad, discussion of which was set
on foot by the Pan-American Congress held
at Washington last year, are thus summa-
rized New York is to be the northern and
Buenos Ayres the southern terminus of the
road, which will be nearly ten thousand
miles in length, connecting by the trans
andine line with Valparaiso, and having
other lateral branches The road will run
from New York to st. Louis and from st.
Louis to Mexico, utilizing all available ex-
isting lines Rather more than third of
the contemplated distance is already cover
ed by rail. At one point, Quito, the pro-
iected road rises to an elevation $500 feet
above the sea. The cost of the road from
Mexico TO Buenos Ayres Mr. Fitch esti-
mated at $250, 900, 900, without counting
that of the privilege of existing roads
This is to be raised by individual capital
by liberal public concessions of money and
land, and by generous mail subsidies when
the road is built. Its objects are to devel-
op continental resources and facilitate ex-
change of products, and to cultivate inter
national amity

How bright is the full moon, do you
thinki Suppose you look up at the moon
on the next clear night, The sky is pure,
pale blue aud the moon is almost dazzlingly
bright against it. If the whole canopy of
the sky were made up of full moons. and If
one were in the centre of such a shining
shell, one might think that the glare would
be intOlerable. But let us see This very
same moon you have often seen in the day
time as pale, white disk just barely visi-
BILE against the background of the sky.
That means that the daylight sky is not so
very different in bTilliancy from the nearly
full moon, or it means that you could very
well live under a sky whose every part
was just as bright as the moon itself We
may say then, that the brightness of the
moon is not so very much greater than the
brightness of the same area of sky. The
total light of the full moon can be com
pared with the total light of the sun,
though it is very difficult problem, and
the result will be that the sun is as bright
as $50, 0O0 full moons. -YouMs Com

THE CHRISTIAN AID ASSOCIATION

This is the age nf organization. The
world is 81 large, the necessary work for
the welfare Of the race is 50 vast aud COM
plicated that the individual alone is power
less In the higher moral and spiritual
realm, as in the purely worldly, the earnest
worker must have his association through
which he may attack one or more Of the
great problems which confront thoughtful
observers of human life.
In Newfane, February |, 1890, few
men aud women met and organized The
Christian Aid association" which was in
corporated by the last legislature. The
association held its first annual meeting in
the Congregational church in Brattleboro
in February last. Il looks forward to
work and asks the interest and support of
Christian people, who therefore have IA right
To inquire into our object aud methods.

The Oroya road is a very remarkable
piece of engineering work, executed per
haps not wisely but too well. The difficult
ties surmounted are enormous The con
structor, an American, Henry Meiggs, used
to say, | was told, at certain arduous points,
The line has to go there. and if we can't
find road for it, wel hang the track from
balloons. This remark illustrates the bold
ness and almost recklessness with which the
line has been built and even now, fine as
the work is, it in constant danger of de
struction in many parts. Every year sec
tions Of the line, bridges, and viaducts are
swept away by foods and landslips which
cannot be foreseen A waterspout bursts
on a mountain-peak, an immense volume
of water, mud, and powders dashes down,
and half an hour later all is calm again
but the railray track has disappeared. or
one of the bridges will be found, twisted
into knot, half mile away from its prop
er place. For this reason the line must
always be very expensive and difficult to
keep in repair. The working of it is also
very expensive on account of the high
price of coal, and the quantity wasted by
the continuous firing required to force the
traiE up the steep gradients. Experiments,
however, are now being made with cheaper
fuel in the form of petroleum residuum
from the Talara wells As it is. the loco
motives have 22-inch cylinders, and the
steam pressure all the way has to be kept
at l4O pounds to the square inch. The
maximum train is five cars, weighing eight
tons each, and carrying ten tons of cargo :;
and in order to drag this weight from Lima
to Chicla, the locomotive burns seven tons
of first-class English coal The maximum
gradients are per cent, and the maximum
curves 100 metres radius This radius is
found in all the tunnels, of which there are
40 between Lima and Chicla, the longest
measuring 296 metres The number of
bridges is is, the longest being the Verru-
gas viaduct, now destroyed. The total
distance from Callao to Chicla, where the
rails end, is S6i miles s-Harpe,''s Magasi,ie.

lie sweeps the chords with might
lie puts forth his hand to the ocean.
