RIVER AND HARBoR BILL.

& Provides For Several New Enterprises
Expected to Be of Great Value.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.-The river
and harbor appropriation bill, which
has been agreed to in both houses, pro-
vides for three new projects which have
long been sought by the senators who
have the credit of securing their adop-
tion. They are boat railway to over
come the distractions at The Dalles Of
the Columbia river, in Oregon and
Washington; another is for canal to
connect Lake Union and Washington
with Puget sound, and the third is to
begin the construction of lock in the
Mississippi river between st. Paul and
Minneapolis, to extend the head OF nav
igation to the last named place.
The Boat Railway Project
contemplates an hydraulic lift to raise
steamboats, out of the water, placing
them upon large tramway carrunning
upon eight or more tracks, transporting
them IS miles and returning them to
the water. It is expected that this 81
gantic railway and the necessary ma
chinery will be completed in four years.
The cost is about 81, 100000.
The canal which is to connect the
waters of Puget sound with the fresh
water of Lakes Union and Washington,
it is expected will be of great CONNER
cial benefit, because it will give ships an
opportunity to anchor in fresh water
after long voyages in the Pacific. An
other benefit is to be gained by having
naval vessels, while not in commission,
stationed in the fresh water.

nearly dark before the frightful mass Of
debris occupying the ravine where the
Rock Island express was wrecked and
burned few miles south Of this city
had cooled down sufficiently to enable
the big crowd gathered at the place, in
the hope of learning something Of the
fate Of relatives, to inspect the charred
mass in detail, but any hope they may
have entertained of securing from the
great ash pile information as to the
identity of those who lost their lives in
the holocaust was soon blasted. The
tons of water thrown on the twisted
relics of the train and the bed of embers
had been insufficient to prevent every
vestige of combustible matter being de-
stroyed. Occasionally charred skull
or partially burned human bone was
raked from
The Bed of the Furnace,
but nothing more remained to tell the
tale of those who went down with the
Inflated train, and time was required to
determine how many persons were lost
in the wreck. The list of killed, as fur
nished by the coroner, swells the fatai-

Four UNKNOWN FARMERS from Jan
sen, Neb.
Those marked unknown are passen-
gers known to have been on the train
by the brakeman and unaccounted for.
Rails Were Removed.
There are two theories as to the
wrecking of the train, it being conceded
that the train was derailed by the re-
moval of the rails for part of the way
across the trestle. There is plenty of
evidence to prove this as fact. A fish
plate and the bar with which it had
been wrenched loose were found near
the trestle after the wreck occurred.
One theory is that strikers from South
Omaha did the work, believing that a
company of state troops, who were to
have boarded the train at Fairbury, were
aboard. The company missed connec-
ton, however. This is not as gener-
ally credited as the other-that the ele-
ment that has been causing 80 much
trouble in Oklahoma, who are bitter
against the Rock Island, did the job,
though why they should have come this
distance to wreck q train that might
have been wrecked nearer home is not
explained.

Nitric Acid and Tin.

In paper read before the London Chemical society by C. IL Walker on the action of nitric acid on tin, some of the prevalent ideas on that subject are shown to bo singularly erroneous Among these is the general supposition that metallic tin dissolves in nitric acid with the production of both a stannous and stannic salt, according to the condi- tions of temperature and concentration 6f the acid In these lateY experiments made to determine the amounts of stannous salts formed under various con. ditions of temperature, concentration of acid and mass of tin treated-it is shown that with dilute acids the increase of temperature has but little effect, but with more concentrated acids the effect is more marked, for the alteration of few more degrees will reduce the amount of stannous salt to nothing, while in crease of concentration, other things be- ing equal, decreases the proportion of stannous salt It is found that the vel Jewish white substance formed from con. centrated solutions is hydrated stannic nitrate of varying composition, depend. ing on the time between production and analysis also on the method of purifca- ton adopted for eliminating the nitric asitl,--New York Sun

stale Bread.

It is generally supposed that the stale ness of bread arises from its becoming actually drier by the gradual loss of wa- ter, but this is not'the case. Stale bread contains almost exactly the same pro portion of water as new bread after it has become completely cold. Thechange is merely in tho internal arrangements of the molecules of the bread. A proof of this is Shat if we put stale loaf into 8 closely covered tin, expose it for half an hour or an hoar to q heat not exceed ing that of boiling water and then al- lowing tt 10 cool, it will be restored in appearance and properties to the state of the new bread - Brooklyn Eagle,

One old Sailors Exciting Adventure With
 Polar Bear In the Cold ttegions.
 There is an old soldier named Jalxo recently returned to San Francisco from an Arctic cruise, who has made up this mind not to go on another whaling OK. pedihon no matter what happens The reason is this; On one occasion during his late voyage Jake was on the watch ill the lookout cradle at the masthead, and it was night--that is, as much night as it ever gets up there in sum- ;ner. The sun had been down about an hour and would rise ugain about an hour later
 It was a beautiful sight as the ship lay there in the ice, and the air seemed scinnllating with a phosphoreScent glow that penetrated everywhere and made no shadows On all sides the pack ice lay close to the vessel and reached for miles in every direction, broken occa. sionally by large berg or the faint out lines of another ship The silence was profound It seemed to produce roar. ing sound ike tho waves of distant ocean Such surroundings will put a person in somicomatose state, from which the slightest sound will awaken him with start
 Jake suddenly saw something white in the gloom climbing the mast His first impulse was 10 jump to the decS but boforo he could act upon it the white object climbed through the lubber hole, and Jake then saw 1t was a polar bear Jake realized that he was in most dangerous position and began to think of means to escape. He called to the watch on deck below, but they couldn't hear, He tried to get out un- der the canvas, but the beast grabbed him and pulled him back. It began humping him, and every time Jake at. tempted to move away it would growl Suddenly his eyes lighted on a rope hanging to the deck just back of the cradle By this means he thought he could reach the deck. Toswing himself free was but the work of an instant, but the bear made jump and caught hold of his foot But few vigorous Kicks freed him, and then began new terror. Perhaps the rope was not strong and would break, or he might miss the stay and swing against the mast and be dashed to death
 The moment in the air seemed gears filled with horror, and several times Jake wished he had taken hh chances with the bear. To grab the stay and hold on was the most difficult, sud twice Jake's hands slipped and almot lost it.
 When he reached the deck, he looked up and saw the rope swing back to the cradle, where the bear grabbed it It tried to do as it had seen Jake do, but had no sooner swung clear than it slip. ped and fell to the deck The crew had bearsteak for breakfast San Francisco Item

AYERS Sarsaparilla, as thousands can

other preparations, which unprincipled

pose upon you, as "just as good as5
