Electric Railways for the Country.

The development of electric railways in
rural communities promises to be great
thing for many towns which have been
left to one side in the construction of
steam railroads. Electric RAILWAYS are
built MT comparatively light cost; they do
not require surveyors or brid 70 building
or difficult engineering. Tor the highways
are ready for them, and they take little
account of grades. Running along the
county roads they knit together scattered
villages, and will bring lonely farm
houses, situated several miles from a rail-
wav station, into regular commun icaton
with the outside world. When New Eng
land is gridironed with them, rs it
promises to be. the abandoned farms"
will be cut I'D into house lots.

Niagara may be better remarked in early
spring than at any other season. Great
b,wlders are continually falling from the
faces of the cliffs where they were iooseheu
by the action of the frost. ana the same
process no doubt is going on In the s'onp
under the cataracts. The eroSive power OF
the waterfall is not so great. but water,
wind and frost together make the recession
of the gorge, particularly on the Horse
shoe side, quite perceptlDle.

REIGN OF TERROR AT RIO.
Reports Brought From Brazil By q
British warshfp.

The British steamship Nile, which sailed
from Pernambuco on December 5, arrived
at Lisbon, Portugal Wednesday. She was
boarded at once by q United Press cor
respondent. who obtained this news from
the officers and the mail advices:
Just before the Nile sailed the govern
ment had the fifteen insurgent officers and
the crew OF the guardship Parahybs, seized
in the harbor. carried ashore and stood up
to be shot by a party Of soldiers. The SOL
diers fired with great reluctance. With
the first volley they killed i've. The rest OF
the prisoners shouted Long live Melio' %
The soldiers declined to fire again and the
rest OF the marines are supposed TO be stan
alive.
The publication OF Admiral Meilo's mani
festo has caused the troops In the province
OF Pernambuco to revolt At Bahia and
other ports. the men on the Nile say, the
revolution grows In favor.
The insurgents have been strengthened
greatly by the accession OF Admiral ca
Cana and his friends.
A reign Of terror is said to dominate Rio
Janeiro. More than a thousand men Of dif-
terent nationalities are missing In the city.
Some or them are supposed TO be In AL:
others are said to have been executed

TWO SCIENTISTS LOST.
Mr.. STEMS Voyage TO EIlesmere Lana
VIII Become q Rescue Expedition.


Public interest In the expedition to EIles-
mere Land proposed By Mr.. Robert Stein of
the United States geological survey is likely
to become intensified by the fact that mel
ancholy tidings received from the Arctic
now render that expedition a duty to hu-
manity. Capt Mckay OF the Dundee whaler
Aurora reports that the two young Swedish
naturalists. Bjorling and Kalstennius, who
had hired small schooner. the Ripple, at
ST. Johns. Newfoundland. and set out for q
collecting trip along the West Greenland
coast. accompanied by q crew OF three men,
were wrecked on the Carey Islands In Au-
gust. 1892 the schooner running aground as
they were leaving. After an unsuccessful
attempt to reach the Greenland shore they
returned to the Carey Islands and the last
note. written by Bjorling. dated October Il
1892. states that they were preparing to
start Immediately for Ellesmere Land.in the
hope OF obtaining succor from the Eskimos
and afterward making their way thence to
whaler or to the Danish settlements Their
provisions would only last TIL January 4,
1898. No further news having been received
from them, almost the only hope OF their
safety lies In the supposition that they are
on Ellesmere Land. sharing the food and
shelter of the Eskimos or hunting the musk
oxen and reindeer. which are known to
abound in the western part OF the island.
An expedition for their relief would neces-
sarily have to shape its course for the near
est accessible point of Ellesmere Land which
II could not hope to reach before the end OF
May, 1894. Precisely at that time Mr. Stein
expects to be landed at that point from q
whaling steamer. with provisions for two
years and material for a house, 80 that no
other relief could come more OPPORTUNITY.
Mr.. Stein intends TO make IL his first duty
to institute a thorough search for the msss-
ing scientists.
