The highest railway in Europe.

The opening of a new Alpine railway
the Brienzer Rothhornbahn--is an
nounced. It is the highest railway in
the Alps and commands magnificent
views. 1t is 1881 meters (7,S36 feet
high at the summit level, and ascends
1889 meters 5000 feet, or sixty-seyen
meters (22s feet higher than the Pilatus
railway. The journey occupies an hour
and a half The gauge is 0,S meter.
The line is pure rack and pinion rail
way on the Abt system, and is similar
in construction to the Monte Generoso
railway.
The steepest gradient is one in four
that Is. less than the maximum Pilatus
ascent. The railway has been built In
remarkably short space Of time; it was
begun SO recently as the LIST Of October,
1890. No fewer than ten tunnels were
bored; numerous streamlets were
bridged and heavy stone dams had TO
be erected. Iron.

savages Strengthening Deer.

Game Warden Taylor came in recently
from the lower country, where he has
been kept busy driving the Indians ont
Of that section. Mr.. Taylor reports that
the Utes have been playing sad havoc
with the game, slaughtering wherever
they could. He was very indignant
over it, and from his version Of the mat
ter he has good reason to be. He states
that from the Iron springs divide to Vel
low creek it is impossible to travel a
hundred yards without finding the bod
les Of deer lying around, and in most
cases nothing but the hides and brains
have been taken, the brains being used
by the Indians in the processof tanning.
On Blue mountain and in the Lilly park
sections the rotting carcasses can be
seen, while ON Snake river they are 70
thick as to absolutely poison the air.
Warden Taylor estimates that since
the deer began to travel down the Utes
have killed between 5000 and 5000 Of
them, and what makes matters worse
the major portion of them are does and
fawns, the bucks always remaining in
the upper country till later in the fall.

It used to be jestingfy said that the
name Of Mohanlmed was invoked for
all purposes, even down to the itinerant
fruit seller, whose cry was. I'm the name
Of the prophet--tigs. But it appears to
be the practice for enterprising and
pushing British manufacturers to have
recourse to the same alliance of piety
with profits. British exporters to Mo-
rocco, it seems, have been accustomed to
place Arabic inscriptions on their wares,
such as calicoes. candles, matches, etc.
According to the consul at Magador.
the sultan has lately issued the follow
ing warning through the customs ad-
ministration: Having learned that GER
tain goods imported, including calicoes,
matches, ETC.. have been imported bear
ing in Arabic characters the names Of
Mohammed. of Hassan and Ali. and
others held sacred by Moslimen, and
bearing other writing not suitable to be
on such articles. order you to give
notice to the merchants to advise their
correspondents in other countries to dis
continue the sending of goods so mark
ed. "A reasonable Inc will be allowed
for this notice to reach them. Any such
goods imported after due notice has been
given will be seized by the government
and treated as contraband. Should the
