a Triumph of Hallway Construction.

The Transandinc railroad between the
Argentine Republic and Chill is divided
into two sections one extending into the
Argentine Republic to Mendoza, $50 miles
west of 'uenos Ayres, and at an elevation
of 2,4ll feet above the sea, and the Gillian
section, which extends to Santa Rosa,
eighty-one miles from Valparaiso, and ut
about the same elevation as Mendoza The
total distance by rail from Bucnos Ayrcs
to Valparaiso is about SSl miles, of which
go miles are iii Argentine territory and III
in the Gillian. The road in the \ rgcntinc
territory now extends as far as Punta de
las Nacas, ninety miles from Mendoza, and
il is expected that this section Of road will
be completed within the present year.
During the last season iifty-eight miles of
the Argentine section from Mendoza to
Uspallata were open to public traffic, and
many travellers awaited themselves of this
overland route in preference TO he long
Eea voyage via the Straits of Magellan.
After the road has been in operation for Il
year or two, when both sections will have
reached the foot of the pass, the journey
can be accomplished in about ffty-four
hours and at Il cost of sixty dollars, bcin.
less than onc-third of the cost of the sea
voyage and II gain of ten days in travel.

SHOkl NkAIS fOls EARLY FALL.
There is no leader in fashion now. The
empress of Germany might set fashion, if
she cared to, for the women of Berlin are
tasteful and know how to dress we'll
Their modistes are excellent and their
styles are well chosen, but to make of Ber-
lin real center of new fashions it would
need n woman holding high position to
give them their first elan. But the em-
press of Germany cares little for personal
adornment
Nine. Carnot is the only other woman
who could pose as legitimate leader, but
she has not the requisite taste, and she has
other aims in life
But France is and always will be the
birthplace of fashion, for the reason that
the Partisan modistes have an unrivaled
chic and style, and the minutest detail of
their work is so perfect that one feels
satisfaction in n Paris garment not to be
found elsewhere.
English styles are VIGOROUSLY tasteless
and graceless, with the exception of their
tailor made costumes. which are incom-

There are several rival French establish
ments that vie with each other in the
three of them quite equal and one really
superior to Worth, but each has his or her
own ideal and own speciality, and hence
the diversity in the fashions of this season.
In some respects the large variety of
styles is nm excellent thing. Every lady
can find something to fit her own style and
to suit her own figure, and still be in the
height of fashion. There are empire
