There are two big gangs at work on
the Lehigh Valley Company's Williams
port railroad by way of Harvey's Lake,
Bowman's Creek, and Lopez. One
gang Is on the Williamsport end an
other at the Bowman's Creek termi-
nus. A report from one of the con-
struction bosses says that the ends are
not quite two and one half miles apart
The weather has been favorable to
the work, and it is likely that the gap
will be closed and the new road open
ed before March Ist. AS the river
bridge is ready to receive the Williams
port business it is probable that no
time will be lost in getting the line
opened. The railroad distance from
this city to Williamsport will be re.
duced by more than thirty miles, and
the Lehigh Valley trains will of course
carry all the business to that section
from both the Wyoming and Lacka-
wanna Valleys. The section through
which The new road extends from
Harvey's Lake is d wilderness which,
when opened by this railroad, will be-
come at once great lumber country

The Comte de Chambord was the grandson of Charles X, the last Bourbon king of France, and the French Royalists called him Henri V, and hoped, until his death, in 1883, tc restore him to the throne. The mar. quis, of whom this story is told, was a Parisian, man of fashion and an ar. dent Royalist The COmte de Chambord was glad cf ai opportunity to talk over political affairs with man who must know what was going on in Paris; SC after few minutes chat be said: Mar. quis, it is not often that have a chance to talk with any one so well informed on the signs of the times in Paris as yourself.

The Azores.

In 1880 the Azores came under the power of Spain, and in the history of the next twenty years their name is fire. quent as the favorite battle-ground of the English and Spanish fleets. The partiality was, indeed, mainly on the side of the former, and for good req son. These islands lay right in the track of all vessels sailing to and from that enchanted region known then to all men as the Spanish Main. On the highest peak of Terceira, whence ir clear weather the sea could be scanned for leagues around. were raised two col. umns, and by them a man watched night and day. When he saw any sails approaching from the west he set flag upon the western column, one for each sail; if they came from the east a simi. lar sign was set up on the eastern col. umn.
 Hither in those days came up out of the mysterious western seas the great argosies laden with gold and silver and jewels, with silks and spices and rare woods, wrung at the cost of thousands of harmless lives and cruelties unspeak. able from the fair lands which lie be. tween the waters of the Caribbean sea and the giant wall of the Andes. And hither, when England too began to turn her eyes to Fl Dorado, came the great war galleons of Spain and Portugal |, meet these precious cargocs and convoy them safe into Lisbon or Cadiz before those terrible English sea wolves could get scent of the -Macmillan's Magazine.

 Closely akin to them are those walled towns standing on the canals of mid China, passing through winch, say at the close of day, when every tower and every roof stands out clearly cut against the brilliant western sky and we arc challenged by a grotesque figure, armed with a spear and probably wearing armor, the illusion is complete, and for the moment we find it hard to realize that we are travelling at the end of the Nineteenth century.
 Even in much changed Japan there are old cities which still retain their walls of the age of feudalism, and in the very heart of the capital the imperial palace is surrounded by the same quaint forti. fications which in old troublous times made it an imperium in imperio, al. though the walls are crumbling and the gates are never shut, and the meats have been abandoned to the lotus and to carp of monstrous size and fabulous age.- Cor.

Strange Effects of Extreme Cold.

Dr. Moss, of the English polar expe- dition of 1875-7, among many other things, tells of the strange effects of the extreme cOSl upon the candles they burned. The temperature was from B to 90 degs. below zero, and the doctor says he was considerably discouraged when upon looking at his candle he dis covered that the flame "had all it could do to keep warm." It was so cold that the flame could not melt all of the tallow of the candle, but was forced to eat it's way down, leaving q sort of skeleton candle standing. There was heat enough, however, to melt odd shaped holes in the thin walls of tallow, the result be- ing a beautiful lacelike cylinder of white with a narrow tongue of yellow flame burning on the inside and sending out many streaks of light into the darkness St. Louis Republic.
