NORTH AND SOUTH ROAD.


An English Syndicate Takes Three Millions
of the honda. - !
DALLAS, Tex, Sept. s0.-The news Il
given out here by representatives Of the
Farmers State Alliance, which organi-
cation is very strong and influential in
Texas, that SS.000.0o0 worth of the
bonds of the projected railroad from the
Manitoba line to the Gulf have been
sold to English capitalists, and that me-
gotiations are nearly closed for the sale
of IS, 600, 000worth'more. The line as sur
veyed through Texas was contemplated
to run east of Dallas, but the English
capitalists insisted before agreeing to
purchase the bonds that the road must
be built through the larger cities of the
states in which it runs, as it would not
be good policy to antagonize these COM.
munities. & 81
The persons interested are preparing
to have the Texas charter Iamended as
suggested and the same policy will be
pursued in other states where neces-
sary.

Fire Easily obt.ined.

The average civilized man would be
hard put to it If he were compelled to
start fire without matches, finder box
or burning glass. But Lieutenant Won
Hohnel describes an African chief az
not only accomplishing this feat, but
doing it with quickness and ease. The
traveller had asked him to show his skill.
1t was really wonderful, in view Of
the moisture laden atmosphere. with
what rapidity he did as had requested.
The materials employed were such az
we saw wherever we went-two simple
bits of wood, one fat about six inches
long and not quite an inch wide, with
o row of grooves ON one side, the other
about 1 3 inches long and Of the thick
ness and shape Of lead pencil.
The longer piece, fixed in one Of the
grooves of the shorter piece, was held
tightly between the palms Of the hand
and whirled rapidly round and round.
In a few seconds the wood dust which
was produced by the friction, and which
fell through the grooves, began to smoke.
This dust was carefully nursed into O
blaze, which was fed with fine grass
and bits Of cotton stuff.
The whole thing is done so quickly
that orr men, oven the lazy WasunRu.
always employed this method on short
halts for lighting their pipes.-Youth'a

SCOTS Description of the Chase and What
the Ordinary Man Would Have Said.
Take, as a single instance of the pow,
er of poetry, Walter Scott'a opening
lines in tho Lady of the Lake, whers
he describes the chase Of the stag. ~

possibly have said in prose:
The antlered monarch Of the waste
Sprung from his heathery couch IN haste.
But ere his fleet career he took
The dewdrops from his TANKS he shook,
Like crested leader, proud and high,
Toss'd his beamed frontlet to the sky,

Then as the headmost foes appeard.
With one brave bound the copee he oleas'd
And stretching forward free and far
Sought the wild heaths Of Uam.Var.

incident that only poet would hay,
thought worthy Of words, but what

HOW WE WALK.
The Muscles Used and the Mechanical week
That They Do.

The Muscles Used and the Mechanical work
That They Do.
The chief muscles concerned In walk
ing are those in the calf and back Of
leg, which, by pulling up the heel, also
pull up the bones of the foot connected
with it, and then the whole body, the
weight of which is passed on through
the bones Of the leg. When walking,
the trunk is thrown forward so that IL
would fall down PROSTATE were not the
right foot planted in time to support it
The calf muscles are helped in this 40
tion by those on the front Of the trunk
and legs, which contract and pull the
body forward, and the trunk, slanting
forward when tho heel is raised by the
calf muscles, the whole body will be
raised and pushed forward and upward.
This advancement Of each leg is effect
ed partly by muscular action, the mus.
Giles used being (1) those on the front Of
tho thigh, bending 1t forward ON the
pelvis; (2) the hamstring muscles, which
slightly bend the leg ON the thigh; (8)
the muscles ON the front of the leg,
which raise the front Of the foot and
toes, preventing the latter, in swinging
forward, from hitching in the ground.
When one foot has reached the
ground, the action of the other has not
ceased. There is another point in walk
ing. The body is constantly supported
and balanced ON each leg alternately
and therefore on only one at once. Hence
there must be some means for throwing
the center of gravity over the line Of
support formed by the bones Of each leg,
as it supports the weight of the body.
This is done in various ways, and hence
tho difference in the walk of different
people. There may be slight rotation at
the hip joint, bringing the center Of
gravity Of the body over the foot Of this
side This rocking motion Of the
trunk and thigh is accompanied by a
movement of the whole trunk and leg
over the foot planted on the ground and
is accompanied by compensating out
ward movement at the hip. The body
rises and swings alternately from one
side to the other as its center of gravity
comes alternately over one or the other
leg, and the curvature Of the spinal
bones is altered with the varying posi-
ton of the weight. -London Hospital.

PAY FOR crow CREEK sErrLEns.

Arrangements Whereby They VIII Soon
Receive Their Money.
WASHINGTON, Sept 20.-The Indian
bureau has just completed arrange
ments to pay the Crow Creek settlers
500, 600 appropriated by the last Indian
appropriation bill. This appropriation
was the result of an order issued in
1885. declaring certain lands in South
Dakota public domain and open to set
tiers. Many persons availed themselves
of the opportunity to make homes upon
these lands, which were very valuable.
Afterwards it was found that the In
dian title had not been extinguished,
and the settlers were compelled to re-
move, losing all the improvements they
had made. Claims We're made for re-
endorsement on account of these losses,
and after they had been investigated
and approved an appropriation was
made. The different settlers will be
paid by drafts issued by the secretary Of
the treasury.

The Chinese squadron, it appears,

account, the Chinese succeeded in land

Chinese fleet was sunk, and the Chao
Hung and the Yang Wei are reported
to have been run ashore. One of the
China warships and three Japanese
ships are also said to have been lost.
According to the Chinese version
there was no thought of surrender on
either side. The ships of both nations,
it is admitted, were terribly damaged.
The Japanese had the advantage Of the

both the Chinese war boats and trans

The advices say that it is significant
that the two or three Chinese transports
which were conveyed by the warships
of China have not returned, and it is
rurhored that they were aIl blown up
with o loss of all hands ON board. From

or about ten times as much as the gold

duced the yield. Just how much is
what many people would be very glad
to know, and The World therefore
prints reports from nearly 200 CORE
spondents scattered throughout the
corn region. These reports cover the
states of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Ken
lucky, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota,
Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska and
South Dakota. The 10 states include
the great corn belt of the United States,
and in an average year produce about
20 per cent of the corn crop. The gov
eminent report makes the yield this
year about 1,10O, 100000 bushels, but
almost all of the corn authorities say
this IS too low. These reports indicate
about ~ tssS
Two-thirds OF an Average Crop,

The greatest reduction has been in the
states west of the Mississippi, and their
loss has been heavy. Kansas, which
