day, to pull off the match between Pierre
Lorillard's Redowac and G. Walbaum's
Rossmore, at five furlongs. This was the
last event, and Rossmore won by a length
in 1903. The winner was sold for $3.50 TO
II. Jones and Redowac was bought for
$500 by the owner. birmingham was a ia
vorite in the first race, though Chattanooga
was pounded for considerable money when
it was found that Taral had the mount.
The Rupert horse carried four pounds
overweight, however, and could not do a
thing with birmingham, who came home in
a romp, with two good lengths to spare.
Chattanooga did no better than fourth.

Remarkable Trennrs.

Two very remarkable occurrences are con-
nected with the earthquake that destroyed a
large part OF Thebes in Greece, on the night
OF April 27last.
AT Birmingham, England, a delicate pendu-
lum, suspended for the purpose of recording
earth tremors exhibited marked disturbance
about fourteen minutes after the principal
shock occurred at Tnebes. Observers at
birmingham attributed the disturbance of
their pendulum TO the transference of the
shock across Europe from Greece to Eng
land, the rate at which it Travelled being
about ITO miles a minute.
On the same night DR.. Gill; the English as
tronomer at the Cape OF Good Hope observed
extraordinary undulations of the surface of
the mercury which he was using to detect er-
rors of level, and which continued during
half an hour.
DIR. Gill thinks that these. like the tremors
noticed al Birmingham, may have originated
in the same disturbance of the earth's crust
that produced the disaster at Thebes APP
parently however, If the undulations were
conveyed all the way from Greece to the south
ern end Of Africa, they came from a different
shock from that which manifested its effects
at Birmingham, for the undulations were no.
ticed by DIR. Gill before that particular shock
had been felt at Thebes.
These are by no means the first instances
in which perceptible effects from earthquakes
have been noticed hundreds and even thous-
ands of miles from the focus of the shocks. -

RaiIroading Over Bottomless Bog.


I'm glad they've built that stretch of
railroad out around Etna bog" said the trav-
cling man. I've travelled on the trains for
years, and the only place on the road that
made me nervous was when we ran over that
mile stretch across the bog. Don't you re-
member how they used to crawl across the
trestle2 Now, I'll tell you something that
wouldn't have told before the Maine Central
folks changed their track.
''Years and years ago when the road was
constructed across from the Kennebec to the
Penobscot the workmen came to meddle-
some snag in the person of Etna bog. Tney
decided to build across its quaggy morass,
and accordingly The farmers commenced to
haul in long logs for piling.-eor
''Etna bog has the name OF being bottom
less. But down at the distance OF forty or fifty
feet appears TO be a sort OF crust three feet
thick or so. Below that seems to be water or
very thin mud. The pilings were let down on
10 that crust. which appeared sufficiently
strong to support them. But one extra long
log, sixty-footer, was brought in from the
woods TIE huge timber was set on end and
the pile-driver struck it twice. At the second
blow the log went down like flash clean out
of sight and would have been going now, per-
haps. If it hadn't been for the chains 1t was
hauled back and length was spliced on. Then
the pile was let down again, but the top end
OF the new piece went under the mud aud
still no bottom.
"The crew decided to see il il was possible
TO find a resting place for piling beneath that
crust. so they kept on splicing. They got
down 450 feet and then gave il up as bad
job. Lille was too short and timber too ex-
pensive to keep on. They built on the crust
and LET ii go at that. Lewiston Journal.

Some idea of how much money a successful
doctor in England may accumulate in the
course of long life is shown by the sworn
statements made to the probate Office of the
personal property they leave.
In the last five years sixty-flye doctors have
left 43, 100000, an average of 950,000 or
$3.50, 900 each. This is in part due to careful
investments by Sir William Gull, who was
physician in ordinary to the Queen and Prince
OF Wales, and when he died. at the age OF
seventy-four, left fortune of 81, ,720, 900. He
once spoke Of making over S65, 900 in a single
year.
Seventy-flve thousand dollars is probably
as much as any doctor or lawyer can possibly
make IN England, and not more than half a
dozen men probably in each profession aver
age more than S50, 900 year. OF thirty-two
doctors in the list whose ages were given
one was ninetY-three, eight more were
eighty or over. and eleven were between
seyentY-five and eighty Sir Andrew Clark,
