NATURAL TELEPHONE LINE.

Remarkable Discovery Made by an Explor-
ing Party I'm South Dakota.
There appears to be natural tele-
phone line between two mountains in
the Black Hills range. On each side of
an intervening valley twelve miles in
width stand two high peaks which
soyer above the other mountains and
have long been known as landmarks,
being called the twin peaks. These
mountains are fully ten thousand feet
above the range. Only on rare occa-
sions have these peaks been ascended,
and little was known of their topo-
graphy. Some Syeeks ago party of
tourists determined to make the ascent,
and. forming into two parties, one for
each peak, they took apparatus for
signaling and expected to have pleasure
and amusement by flashing the hello
graph code across the intervening space,
to the mystifcation of the people OF the
valley. The ascent was made, and
while the people were making arrange
ments to signal across one of the party
on the north mountain was surprised to
hear voices which apparently came
from the air. He moved about and the
sound was no longer heard. BY chang
ing his position several times he discov-
cred that at q certain spot onthe noun
tain he could hear the voices, and it
yas not long before he found that they
proceeded from the party on the other
mountain. He called the attention Of
the others to the phenomena and then
they attracted the notice of the party
on the south mountain and found that a
conversation in an ordinary tone OF
voice was plainly heard from one noun
tain to another. There was only one
place on each mountain where u could
be heard, and it appeared to be nat
ural telephone No shouting was neces-
sary, and the words were perfectly dis
tiuct

RAILROAD JoTTINGS.

The government of japan owns and
operates all the railways in that coun-
try, and from this source derives a
large proportion of its revenues.
In the hot regions of Africa more
than two thousand laborers are en-
gagged in building tke Congo railroad,
and in the cold regions of Siberia many
thousands of Russians are employed in
the construction of the trans-Siberian
railroad.
COMPRESSED air is to be used in the
Union Pacific Company's shed at Port
land for removing dust in railway cars.
It is delivered from flexible hose with
a small nozzle at a pressure of fifty
pounds to the square inch. 1t is very
effective in cleaning plush cushions.
On the Northern of France railway
an important experiment is about to be
tried on a large scale. All carriages,
even on short distance trains, are to be
warmed. and the warmth Is 10 be pro-
dueed By means Of boxes oS acetate of

A FORGOTTEN CABLE PRoJEcT.
The Siberian Route Contemplated Before
the Success Of the ATLANTIC Cable.


The Siberian Route Contemplated Before
the Success OF the Atlantic Cable.
In these days when cables between
America and Europe are in such con-
slant use, says the Electrical Review,
most people have forgotten a great en-
terprise for securing telegraphic COM
munication with Europe by way of
Behring strait and Siberia. Cyrus Field
had just made an attempt to lay an
other cable across the Atlantic with the
Great Eastern, but the cable had
snapped in mid-ocean. Many capital
lists, believing that Fields idea could
never be realized, formed d company to
extend telegraph line from San Fran
cisco up the coast to Behring strait, run
cable across to Siberia, and then con-
meet with the telegraph systems of the
old world. A large construction fleet
began work at Puget sound, with the
steamship George S. Wright as flagship.
The Fremont, Milton, Badger, Pal
metto, Nightingale, Jennie Pitto, Egg
mont and others brought up supplies
from San Francisco. R. r. Haines, the
superintendent of construction, had a
big force of men organized and uni
formed like an army. The line from
San Francisco to New Westminster, in
British Columbia, was owned by the
California State Telegraph Company,
and beyond that it was known as the
Collins Overland and Western Union
Extension. The line followed the east
shore of the sound to New West
minister, and some of the original poles
can yet be seen sticking in the mud.
The work was carried eight hundred
when the complete success of the At
lantic cabel suddenly put a stop to con-
struction. The army of men was mus
tered out, and the materials that could
be recovered were taken away. Thou
sands of tons of wire and material dis
tributed along the line through the
woods of British Columbia remain
there to this day. Several years after
ward party of woodmen took to Port
Townsend a cargo of the wire and Of
fered it for sale, but the creditors of
the company seized it Immediately. The
Seabeck mills sawed out thousands of
the poles for the line, which were piled
up on the mill wharf, and lay there un-
til burned with the mill a few years
ago. The captain of the ship Egmont,
which lay in Esqui1nalt with cargo Of
submarine cable, got drunk and ran off
with the ships papers. The vessel lay
in the harbor for two years unable to
clear. Her owners finally patched up
Hawaiian papers for her and she sailed
away. George lei. Munford, afterward
vice president of the Western Union,
came out in 1872 and wound up the af-
fairs of the company, paying every bill
in full. The American end of the line
was absorbed by the Western Union,
and the extension to Skeena was op-
Grated for a few years and then aban-
doned.

Jesse James, Brain,

A certain little post-obit incident has
never found its way into the press, says
the st. Louis Globe-Democrat, and the
reason no doubt is that it has been kept
an inviolate secret among the few who
were given an opportunity to know
about it for fear of bringing trouble on
those who were responsible for it. The
facts are simply these: While Mrs.
Samuels. the mother of Jesse James,
was watching like a lynx every incl
dent connected with the arrangements
for conveying the dead desperate from
St Joseph the day after his death to
her farm near Kearney, where he was
to be buried, a number of enterprising
physicians quietly removed his brain
and put it into jar of alcohol, in which
condition it is now exhibited, labeled or
unlabeled, at one of the St. Joseph med
ical colleges.

a MATRIMONIAL CLUB.

Wealthy Austrians Form an Association
for the Marriage of Poor Girls.
In these days of mercenary mar
riages, when the lords of creation, even
more than the weaker sex, are usually
anxious to make good match, not
from the point of view of sweetness of
disposition or beauty, which are apt
to weigh very light in the scales of
decision when placed in the balance
with money, it is more than refreshing,
it is idyllic-to read the account of a
club lately started in Austria. The
chivalrous feelings of the members OF
the Mariahilf Matrimonial club raise
them so far above the majority of their
sex that it is difficult to believe in the
actual existence of the club, about
which, however, belieye there is no
doubt, says London letter from a
woman to the Philadelphia Telegraph.
The members of the club are all rich
men, and each has pledged himself to
marry poor girl. For the sake of
these noble beings, animated with such
unselfsh desires, can only hope that
the secret of membership is devoutly
kept. I am very unwilling to disparage
my own sex, yet we often hear of, and
even see, the matchmaking mother on
the warpath. Can we blame her for
her maternal instincts? While the
maiden who has a very keen eye to the
main chance, in the matter of her mat
rimonial alliance, is not unknown.
fear for the peace of mind of these
undetermined men. Their riches alone
would be strong bait to the penniless
maids and their scheming mothers;
while if the fact of their VOW was
known [ should imagine the candidate
would be very fierce. In case, how
ever, the members find the attentions
of portionless girls and widows too
overpowering, they have provided
themselves with loopholes of escape;
for should the damsel of their choice be
blessed with an abundance of this
worlds goods they may redeem their
oaths on payment of four hundred
pounds sterling A further feature of
the club is to provide deserving but i'm

gagements, have still no prospect of set

course, the forfeitures are devoted to
this purpose, and thus two pairs of low
ing hearts are made happy. am real
ly inclined to believe that the sterner
sex in Austria are superior set of NOR
tails to those who inhabit the rest of the
world, for I feel quite convinced that
none of our fin de steele young men who
adorn London society are capable of
founding a similar club.
