A LOndoncr who Collects and Sells the
Product of isurDing Mountains.
In all the large centefs of the world
there are a few dealers who make a
business of collecting meteorological
specimens and other material illustrat-
ing natural history. A man in London
has recently been making something of
q speciality of the collection of volcanic
dusts. He sent q trustworthy agent
awhile ago to the great Andes of the
equator, and now he is advertising dust
from a number of famous volcanoes.
He sells the material in bottles at
about thirty-five cents a bottle. Each
sample contains one grain or more.
Among these collections is volcanic
dust from Cotopaxi which fell at Quito
on June 26, 1877, after journey
through the air of thirty-four miles
Then he has dust from Cotopaxi which
was elected to a height Of forty thou
sand feet above the level of the sea III

as is daily elected by the volcano
1T the height of nineteen thousand Eve

ZONE SYSTEM IN HUNGARY.
Official Figures Show 1T Is . Complete
Success.

Success.
Three years ago the Hungarian gov
eminent adopted the zone system of
rates for railroad fares. The principle
involved large reduction in rates, es-
pecially to long-distance travellers. With
Buda-Pesth as a center, the circumfer-
ence of the first zone was about one hun
dred miles away, the second two hun
dred, and so on to the extreme limits of
Hungary. Only slight reduction in rates
was made in the first zone, much larger
in the second, and increasingly larger
in the outer zones. The gross reduction
was in the neighborhood of sixty per
cent. Hungary was an ideal place for
trying the plan, as all roads run to
Buda-Pesth and the city itself was prac-
tically in the center of the country.
Railroad men everywhere declared the
plan foredooned to failure, even where
the conditions were as favorable as in
Hungary.
The first official figures on the sys-
tenn have been published. Commenting
on them, Transport says:
Excellent results have, according to
the official figures just published, been
shown by the working of the zone sys-
tenn on the railways of Hungary. The
eyes of Europe have been turned with a
good deal of curiosity and interest to
this; the most daring and systematic
method of discrimination in favor Of the
long distance as against the short dis
lance traveller iii the world. The vari-
Gus zones or circles within which GER
tain fares are charged are fixed by reg
ulation, the principle adopted being the
greater the distance from the capital
the less the proportional rate per mile
travelled. The system has been greatly
appreciated by the people living in the
more distant parts of the country, as
the result shows. For some years be-
fore the introduction of the SYSTEM the
number of travellers averaged 100000
annually. In the first year of the zone
tariff the number rose to 10000, 900; the
second years returns showed that 49,
100000 had used the railways, while
during the third year the number of
travellers totaled 2S,0OO,0OO It is salts
factory to note a corresponding rise in
the receipts, advancing from 9,705,000
gulden during the last year Of the old
system to 28,3O0,OO gulden during the
year Just closed"

SAVED BY HIS HORSE.
Very Peculiar Escape of Il Man from a
Break in the Ice.

Very Peculiar Escape Of Man from a
Break in the Ice.
The story comes up from below the
city, says the Lewiston (Me.) Journal,
about man who attempted to cross
the Androscoggin on the ice and was
swamped, together with his team. He
had been hauling wood across the river
for several days, and had just one more
load to haul.
AS the water was up on the face of
the ice he first thought to put off haul
ing it, but the thought that perhaps
there would not be another chance to
haul it made him go across. When he
started back he thought he wouldn't go
in the same track where he had hauled
the rest, so he went q little above.
+, The ice began to crack slowly when
: he got to the middle. Quick as flash
he unfastened the two tugs and one
holdback Then he struck the horse
violently with the whip. At the same
time the sled load of wood went
through with crash. He commenced
to sink with it, but when the horse had
been struck he jumped ahead and,
breaking the off holdback, jerked the
man off the load and dragged him to
the shore with the reins. There he
stopped and the man got up.
When he looked back the top of the
wood and the shafts could be seen stick
ing out of the hole in the ice. He says
that he had rather lose the wood than
go near the hole again. It is frozen in
now.
