High Speed on Railways.

The real danger involved In the
proposed increased speed of railway
trains-say ninety or one hundred
miles an hours not, Il cofdlng TO
Kuhlows, In incidental risks, but,
rather, in the curves OF the existing
nes, which render any such speed
impossible, unless the weight OF the
engines and trains be also increased
far beyond what the bridges and per.
manent way would bear-that Is. at
the first sharp curve, the one hlnqLed
mile train would fly of the rail- The
necessary relation of these curves TO
sDee1l accurately known, and this
IL is, and not the lack OF power. or
novel dangers from wind pressure, or
boiler explosions, which sets the
limit to mo !ern train speed. Kuh.
lows further remarks that as the
force tending to throw of the line q
train running at the speed Of loo
miles an hour would be about six and
half times greater than that which
steam express train resists at a
curve when running at sixty-twO
miles an hour, IL is plain tha: the
present lines could not be used for
the '4lghtning express" even though
the electro.mUtor were substituted for
the steam engine: the lines must not

Th6 Wr0Gk.

As the violent storm of the other night has
thrown US on the Corsican coast, let me tell
you q terrible story Of the sea, of which the
fishermen of the place often speak at even
tide, and about which chance has enabled me
to learn strange particulars.
It was three years ago. I was sailing the
sardinian sea with seven or eight sailors OF
the coast survey. 1t was a rough voyage for
q novice; We did not have one good day
through March. The wind was furious, and
the waves never calmed. One evening as we
were flying before the tempest our vessel
came for refuge to the mouth OF the strait Of
Bonifacio, among some little islands.
Their aspect was not alluring. They were
great bald rocks. covered with birds, some
bushes OF lentisk. a few tufts of absinthe. and
here and there in the slime decaying pieces of
wood. But. my soul 1t was better to pass
the night among these sinister rocks than to
be on frail old bark, half decked. where the
blast came In as though it were quite at home.
30 we contented ourselves.
No sooner had we disembarked than the
sailors lighted fire for the fish soup, and the
captain called me, pointing to little inclo-
sure surrounded by white wall almost lost
In the mist at the end OF the island. "Will
you come to the cemetery" said he.
