ON AMERICAN FAILS.

AMERICA uses seventeen railroad
gauges.
LAST year our railroads carried Co.,
100000 people.
THE plan of using separate tires for
car wheels is regarded by many rail-
road men as representing the correct
principle of construction
FIFTY-FIvE American railroads report
an increase of $40. 734. 053 in their gross
earnings during 1892; twelve roads re-
port a decrease of S2.456.3 $40 in the
same time: 'ourteen roads report an in
crease of SIT .s6O.375 for eleven months,
and seven report a decrease of sl,12l,-
1850 for eleven months.
THE Erie's old broad gauge No. "a
was regarded as the most unlucly en-
CINE that ever ran on the road. IL was
used in the Susquehanna yards and IS
said to have killed tbirty-nine persons,
including four women and three chill
dren. In addition to this seventy men
were crippled by this engine.
IT iscomputed that all the locomotives
i'm the United States would, II coupled
together. make train 800 miles long
The passenger cars would make anoth-
err train of about the same length, ana
If all the cars of every variety in the
country were coupled behind the en-
gines the result would be tram Just
about Z 900 miles long.

and a rustic bridge constructed by the
Japanese gardeners will undoubtedly
prove of great interest to visitors f. ON
all parts of the western world. Some
very neat and handsome work in hand
carved native hard woods, metal orna-
ments and bronzes for their pavilion
in the Liberal Arts building has just
been received by the laps, and their
exhibit in that department promises to
be very attractive.
There is much mourning among these
people just now on account of the
death of the famous japanese dwarf
cedar. which was one of the greatest
curiosities they possessed. This tree
was only three feet in height, al
though it was three hundred years
old. and was thought to be the
finest specimen in existence. 1t was
sent To the fair by the emperor
of Japan, and every precaution was
taken to preserve it from harm, but
all efforts were unavailing, and the
only use it can now be pat to win be
to serve as relic of its former self.
Another unique exhibit win be a
mountain of rock and sand. with for
ests, caves. streams of water, etc,
erected by the state of Pennsylvania.
Upon this mountain in various atti-
tudes will be found a stuffed specimen
of every beast and bird that is to be
found in that state, and OF every fish that
frequeuts its waters Among the an
finals represented will be a huge lion
that was shot in the Quaker state in
1856.
This mountain will be one of the
finest and most striking natural his
tory displays ever made, and it is
given out that the state is
ambitious to surpass anything of the
kind to be seen at the fair. AS a work of
art it will most likely outclass any

Provisions of a Bill just Introduced In
the House.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-Mr. Harter
(O.) has introduced in the house a bill
to provide for the free coinage of silver
and gold at the present ratio and upon
equal terms. 1t provides that after its
passage the purchases of silver bullion
by the government shall cease and
that the minis shall be opened to the
coinage of both metals upon the same
terms as existed prior TO 1878, provided,
however. that all silver and gold
coined hereafter for the account of
owners shall not have any legal tender
function and instead of being
stamped Zone dollar" Five dollars"
etc. shall be stamped Ten Dimes"
Fifty dimes" etc. Nothing in this act,
the bill says, shall be construed as
affecting the legal tender function of
the gold and silver already coined or
which may hereafter be coined upon
the account of the United States. and
all laws in conflict with this act are
repealed.
