THE railways of the world are worth
quite lot of money-e6, ,0O0, ,000, 900.
AN engine on the Central railroad of
New Jersey has run mile at the rate
of 91.7 miles an hour.
IT is estimated that s4OO, 900, 900 gold
of British capital has been invested in
the railways of the Argentine Republic.
The distance between division points
for changing engines has been increas-
ing In this country and some roads are
now running engines from 200 to 800
miles, where they used to run 100 miles
or less.

The politest man in New Jersey came
to grief because of his politeness at
Newark few days ago. He was seized
with consuming desire to sneeze while
riding in an electric car. On each side
OF him there was young woman, and
he felt that it would be very impolite
TO sneeze in front of them, SO he decided
to sneeze behind them, and with that
purpose in view he thrust his head from
the car window. While he was in the
act of sneezing his head came in contact
with an electric pole, and his skull was
dangerously fractured.

A FRENCH explorer named Jules Des-
fontaines, wants an American woman
to lead an exploring expedition into
an unknown part of New Guinea. New
Guinea is not simply one of lot of
islands in Polynesia. 1t is the second
largest island in the world, being next
to Australia, and it occupies nearly 40O,-
900 square miles of territory. The ex-
pedition, which the Frenchmen pro-
poses to organize, would be very large
and well equipped one. 1t has been
this Frenchman's dream that an Ameri-
can woman should lead this big, peace
full invasion. He has all confidence i'm
woman's capacity.

THERE is now on exhibition in Paris
a boat which, it is said, is as exact re-
production as can be made of the cara
vel which took Christopher Columbus
to America. The ship floats around in
a large basin whose edge is made to
represent the shore of the island on
which Columbus landed, and there are
Indians and other accessories to give
realism to the picture. A pantomime
representing the landing of Colum bus
on the shores of the new world is given.

A NEAT scheme whereby several
young women victimized hotel-keepers,
was discovered the other day at Asbury

tell the clerk to send their trunks to
their rooms on arrival The trunks
never came, and during the apparent
agitation over the lost baggage no
board bills would be presented. Soon
after the girls would disappear.

CURRENTS of water serve to a vast
extent the purpose of distributing
seeds. Walnut, butternut and pecan
trees are found close to streams, where
they drop their nuts into the passing
flood, to be carried far away and start
other groves perhaps hundreds of miles
distant. Tree seeds of many sorts are
carried bv oceanic currents.

Hunting for Wage Advances.

Republican politicians are unanimous
in declaring that protection has had
nothing to do with the Homestead wage
reductions and the strike in which thou
sands there are concerned, yet they are
embracing every opportunity-and they
are very few-to announce an advance
in wages, which of course is due to the
Mckinley act. Over 500 wage reduc-
tons in protected industries have been
reported, and it will be strange if few
cases could not be found where wages
had been advanced; but The American
Economist, which has been searching
high and low, has been about as I'M
fortunate as Ex-Governor Campbell, of
Ohio, who has not found a single in
stance where wages have been advanced
because Of the Mckinley tariff act.
The American Economist alleges that
that it has found such cases, but I'M
fortunately they are not sucha ostand
criticism. On July %, for the third or
fourth time, The Economist announced
that there had been a general increase
of . per cent. in the wages of the EN-
ployees of the Kings County Knitting
company in Brooklyn. a man was sent
to investigate this case. After much
trouble and search he at last heard that
the company was located in the suburbs
of Brooklyn; reaching there he found
that the firm had removed to another
remote corner of the same city. At last
he found the great concern in the top
floor of building. 1t consisted of three
men and ten to fifteen girls. The pro-
prietor, who happened to be on hand,
could remember of no advance in wages
until reminded of The American Econ
omist's announcement. Three Of the
girls were also seen; each declared that
there had been no advance in wages to
her knowledge, but that they were earn
ing less than in previous years.
The search will be continued and it is
hoped that more favorable reports may
be made, though the outlook is not
promising.

KEEP M'KINLEY TALKING.
He Satisfies the Republicans and Helps
the Democrats.

the Democrats.
BY all means keep Mckinley on the
stump explaining his slick scheme for
taxing the foreigner and spOnginS our
government revenues out of other and
poor countries. There are yet left not
few theoretical reasoners who think the
thing can't be done and some super
critical moralizers who think that if it
could be done it would be unjust. They
should all be put to flight, and McKin-
ley is the boy that can shoe them with
his invincible oratory. His speeches
come high this year, but if the Repub-
licans can't afford to keep him IN the
field the Democrats ought to give assist
ance-they could find no better invest
ment. Mckinley draws great crowds
and always leaves them intensely inter-
ested in protection, so much so that
there is a great demand for tariff reform
speakers wherever he has presented the
details of his process of bleeding the
foreigner. He made the students at
Ann Arbor, Mich, so "tired" that they
could only get relief by listening to
speech from Congressman Bryan, and
now the farmers and voters around
Beatrice and Lincoln, Neb., where Nc
Kinley spoke recently, are said to be in
the same uneasy condition. Mckinley
is probably the only man who can, with
the same speech, satisfy both of the
leading parties. Let both parties then
contribute 70 the expense of keeping
him in the field. A man of such ex-
traordinary ability is wasting his time
sitting in the governors chair of Ohio.

Facts That Destroy Theories.

The workingmen of this country, re-
marked Senator Hale a few days ago,
were never so contented and well paid
as now. The total number of locked
out and striking employees throughout
the country, says Bradstreet's, increased
last week from about 10000 to 100000.
Everybody knows the comparative value
of the two authorities in these two cases.
The American workingmen are as rule
very comfortably circumstanced in these
times, but the Mckinley tariff can hardly
be said to have raised them all into a
perfect paradise Of contentment and
osperity.-Providenc Journal

continuing In their task ror many or
them the work will be without result,
for IL is now certain many of the bodies
have been either burned TO cindcrs or
swept into the flood.
The banks along the creek are caving
in, and many victim has gone to his
last resting place unattended by mourn
ing friends and with no ceremonies
At a late hour last night sixty-seven
bodies had been taken from the ruins,
and this practically ends the work of
the searchcrs until to-day. Those who
are acquainted with the locality where
the most damage was done, say that the
loss of life must reach at least $50 and
many put the figures at 200. The num-
Der Of the bodies recovered gives no fair
estimate of the number lost.
The section where the loss of life is
greatest was largely occupied by for
eigners employed in the tube works.
No one knows their names, but II will
be impossible TO ever learn just how
many are missing. In this section also
were vast number of children, or, as
one citiYen puts IL, there were swarms
of them. OF all the bodies recovered
only ten were children, and the great
question is, what has become of the
rest Of the children?
Oil creek, the scene of the great di-
saster, rises in the northern part of
Crawford county and flows in gener-
ally southerly direction 10 Titusville
and from there almost due south TO the
Allegheny river at Oil City. Just below
Titusville IL is Joined by East Oil or
Pine creek.
Between Titusville and Oil City there
are nine hamlets where oil wells have
been running which have attained the
dignity of post offices. From Titusvillo
toward Oil City, in order, the towns are;
Titusville, s,073; Boughton, 100; Miller
Farm, 100; Mededith, 300; Pioneer, 100;
Petroleum Center, 200; Columbus, 800;
Rynd Farm, 800; Housewife, 800; Me
Clintocl, 100; Oil City, 1O,932 The
eighteen miles between Titusville and
Oil City probably represent a popula-
ton of from 40, 900 TO I5, 900.
AT TTTUsvn.LE.
TITUsvILLE, Pa, June AT least
100, and more probably 1850 lives have
been lost here, and 81 100000 damage
done by fearful cloudburst which
caused flood TO sweep down Oil creek
and devastatc this town and the sur.
rounding country. Fire added TO the
horror Of the situation.
The flood came in the dark hours OF
Sunday morning when the people wer,
enjoying their soundcst sleep Score,
OF dwellings in the lower part OF tn,
city were swept away in a moment ant
dozens were drowned even while asleep
An idea of the amount of territory
covered by the flood and fire can be Oh
tanned when II is stated that over tw,
miles were destroyed. This includes
railroads, factories, refneries, privat,
dwellings, etc.
