With the ladies especially these cars are
sure to be popular, for he reason that each
compartment is a complete toilet room in
itself. On the Burlington they will be popu-

that a number of the compartments are ab-

Maginnis, the confident opinion is ex.
pressed that before many years the
passage across the Atlantic will oc.
cupy but four and half days, because
speed of twenty-six knots is not at
all beyond the scope of advancing
improvements. In 1878, he pointed
out, the greatest horsepower of an
Atlantic steamer was 5000. Now
10000 is within sight.
The future steamers will be mail
and passenger carriers only, and Mf.
Maginnis believes that commercial
success would attend such steam
ships. Attention was drawn to the
great immunity from breakdowpa of
machinery which characterizes the
vessels of the Atlantic, although, the
voyage is admittedly the Widest and
most trying in the world. In the year
from October /, 1889, to October 2,
1892, there were over 1000 sailing
from each side of the Atlantic, nearly
1000 departures from port averaging
nearly seventy-four sailings week,

The proposal to sheathe ships with
copper coated with mercury is at.
tracing attention, says the New York
Tribune. The idea is that such an ar
rangement would effectually prevent
barnacles from adhering to the bot
tom OF vessels. In order to keep the
mercury on and to prevent oxidation,
the copper would beconstantly charg-
ed with electricity. This would bring
about another interesting possibility.
Any gold or silver that might be in
the water would be precipitated on
the bottom OF the vessel, and it could
then be scraped off when the vessel
arrived in port.

Ferocious Wild Dogs.


The general belief of the wild dog
tribes of India is borne out by two stories
told by Colonel Baldwin of their attack
ing the bear and the tiger which put the
fact beyond doubt. A bear was found
by an English officer standing at bay be-
fore the dogs. He had killed one. but
his hide and body were torn in strips by
the bites of the pack. In the other the
fresh bones of a tiger were found from
which the flesh had been eaten. Onepaw
still remained whole, and close by lay
the freshly killed bodies of three wild
dogs which had fallen in the fight.
Remembering not only the strength
and activity of the tiger but the aston
ishing pluck with which, even when
wounded, it will constantly charge q
line of elephants and endeavor to scale
the howdah-which is. in fact, fort
with an armed garrison-it is difficult to
overestimate the courage of the wild
dogs in meeting and destroying such an
antagonist. We think it extremely pro.
bable that future observations of the
courage of the wild dog may justify 1,
statement once made, perhaps without
sufficient evidence, that they have an
inherent hostility to larger fe1inm, and
are necessarily on the watch to destroy
their whelps, so that the species are the
instrument by which nature keeps down

ANTICIPATION.

Ono time we stood upon the waters edge
That flowed far out into its parent sea,
And there while summer blushed on deld
and hedge
We vowed to love throughout eternity.
And thou, fond heart, hast kept that vow
full well
Through every change that protean fortune
brought,
But am sunken in the waves that swell
Der Scylla's hidden rocks-and am forgot.
What stern mischance hath snapped the
golden thread
That bound thy heart In unison with mine?
Unless her soul be Niobe's instead,
Whose teara may flow as feelingly as thine?
From whom may pardon come If not from
thee?
And yet l dare not ask SO great boon.
Whose life is wrecked like thine2 And who
Hath warranty to sing SO sad a tune?
Yet cease those mournfui sighs, as deep per-
chance
As ever Dido for 4Tneas heaved;
The future lies beyond the rccompense
OF time is most for her who most hath
grieved.
One hope have that absence cannot take,
One longing that the world can never steal:
When life is done, in other spheres to wake.
And at thy feet a worshiper to kneel.
