a Railroad Through the Sen.

An interesting experiment is about
to be carried out at Brighton, Eng
land, in the shape of the construc-
ton OF marine railway for the pur-
pose of connecting Brighton with the
little village of Rottingdean, some
three or four miles to the eastward.
The rails will be laid on the solid rock
with concrete, and at high water will
be covered by the sea, which. how.
ever VIII not affect the carriages, the
latter being supported OF framework
that keeps them high and dry. At this
part OF the coast the cliffs are high and
the beach is practically inaccessible,
SO that no boating traffic will be inter
tered with. The cars will be moved
by electricity, like those now in use
along TIE eastern foresho~e of Brighton.

| The Army from Which Uncle Sam May
Draw should Occasion Require.
An army of 100000 menl How Ma
poleon's legions dwindle beside this,
and the hosts which Grant, Sherman
and Sheridan led shrink to pigmies,
says the Boston Journal. This enor-
nous figure represents the number of
able bodied men in the United States
available for military service But of
course no such swarm of fighters could
ever be modified in this or any other
country. 1t would overtax even Amer
lean energy and resource to clothe and
feed and arm them and maintain them
in idleness. The figures have no prac-
teal military value, but as a sugges-
ton of the mighty war potentialities
of the young republic they are not
without their interest to the world.
But when we come to enumerate
the men actually under arms in
the United States as trained and
disciplined soldiers we realize our
present military significance Besides
the little regular army of $4,000
men there is more or less thoroughly

100 men in the national guard and
militia. That is, only about one man
in hundred of those of our citizens
liable to bear arms is regularly en-
gagged in mastering the rudiments of
the soldiers profession. New York, as
might be expected, has the largest
military organization-737 officers and
12.073 men. Pennsylvania has SOFA
officers and men; Ohio, 6,125. Then
comes Massachusetts, well up in the
list, with 5000. Fiery South Carolina,
with $40 officers and men, has an
armed force out of all proportion to it's
wealth and population. The New
England states, outside Massachusetts.
have respectable little armies, ranging
from Vermont's 1874 to Connecticut'a

cen the most remarkable of all inter
ational arenas. Ancient geographers
allied it Trinacria, meaning Triangle
land, y which was very appropriate
aame.
One of its main capes stretches out
toward Greece, another toward north
ern Africa, and the third toward the
mainland of Italy, thus, as it were, in
wiling invaders from as many different
points of the compass.
Three thousand years ago, and long
before the foundation of Rome. Sicily
was the scene of fierce struggles be-
tween the aborigines and people whose
home was somewhere on the other side
of the Straits of Messlna
Seven centuries before the Christian
era, great cities were built in Sicily;
but series of civil wars covered the
island with ruin, and seaport after sea-
BORT fell into the hands of the Garth
iginians. Eventually the island be-
came Roman province, but in the
year a. D.. $40, it was conquered by the
Vandals; they, in turn, being expelled
by the Ostrogoths.
Saracens and Normans, Spaniards
and French have fought for the do
minion of the island, and in the era of
the first French empire Sicily proved a.
fatal apple of discord. England
claimed the island; France insisted
that it was part of the kingdom of
Naples. and the war that ensued only |
ended with Waterloo
The present agrarian instruction
may spread across the Straits of Mes

\ California BOY Rescued with Difficult,

by His Pluck5 Comrade.
Among the many pastimes enioyed
BY the inhabitants of Pacific Grove,
CAL. says the San Francisco Examiner,
abalone hunting is one largely indulged
in, both on account of the beauty OF
the shell of this molluslz and also the
delicacy of the meat. A few days ago
two boys, about seventeen and eigh-
teen years of age, thought it would be
a profitable undertaking to go out BY
the Point Pinos lighthouse and try
their luck among the large masses of
rocks there. They arrived at their
destination at ebb tide, and proceeded
to hunt for the shells. Abaiones, as a
rule, fasten themselves 70 the under
surface of large rocks While the
boys were scrambiing among the rocks
they came across q large crevice filed
with water. Kelp or seaweed was
floating on the surface of the water in
this black pool, and amid the tanglc OF
tawny whip-like stems, bulbs and
masses of leaves bubbles arose in
quick succession as if the water was
boiling. The curiosity of the boys was
thoroughly aroused by this apparent
phenomenon, and after watching the
bubbling water awhile they decided to
investigate. One of them leaped over
the pool, and leaning over the edge
closely examined the kelp. What he
finally espied in the brown floating
mass of weeds he thought was the tail !
OF an eel Reassured by his conclusion.
and with the knowledge that cells are
perfectly harmless, he grabbed for the
moving object and his hand closed firm
ly on it.
Like the long lash of whip curling
at the end of stalk welded by an ex.
pert driver, swiftly uprose from the
dark waters a purplish, notified thing
which fastened itself like a snake
about the ontstretched arm of the boz.
With impetuous motion he attempted
to withdraw his hand, but the sliIny
thing chung to him, and the boy was
dragged into the pool. Then more of
those horrible snake-lil1e appendages
thrust themselves up and waved in the
air, clutchipg at the frantic victim, and
from hideous barrel-shaped body two
oead-like eyes over wiclsed-loolsiup-
oeak watched the struggles of the boy,
rs it tried to fasten more securely to
It's prey. The boy was in the grasp OF
'he tentacles of huge octopus. which
had been left by the tide and was Turk
ng under the kelp. The boys com
'anion dashed into the water to the
escue, and, selling the tentacle that
till gripped firmly, he succeeded in
DOSING its hold, and both boys
crambled upon tho rock into safety.

THE GRAND OLD MAN,
Rev. William Wilkinson on Glad.
stone and Christian Statesman.


Last night in St. Andrews church. in
his sermon, Rev. William Wilkinson
said: Ill is not the least amongst the
many advantages which we have, in
this age OF advancing knowledge, that
the history of the world in general, and
the deeds OF mighty men in particular,
stand day by day photographed before
our view. SO we see what has and what
is being done. The whole reading world
today looks upon the resignation from
the prime ministry of England of Will
lam Ewart Gladstone with deep interest,
because he is one of the nobiest men of
his time, and Because by him the berit-
age of liberty has been distinctly
widened and the GOd-born rights of the
common people through him have been
secured. This it is that will make
Gladstone's name one of the brightest
i'll the temple of human fame. In the
century now nearing an end three
names in Europe stand out in lonely
prominence - that of the renowned
fighter, Napoleon; in France, whose
name to this day in that land is one 10
conJure with. and in all other lands one
which inspires very different kinds of
admiT9don.. 1t is not one of the
small elements in the problem
to remember that Napoleon, in
this age of peace and human
sympathy of man with man. yet stands
on a pedestal from which no change OF
government, no evolution of thought
removes him. Bismarck In Germany
has been for two generations a man Of
note. No man now living In the father
land has so profoundly influenced its
public policy, in regard to other ma
tions. or its domestic policy at home. A

but he pursued line and lent the au-

This it was Which made it possible for
Kaiser William to say to Bismarck:
Since / cannot resign, l fear there
is nothing for me to do but to ac-
cept your resignation And SO the
man Of blood and iron was out of Office,
out Of power, silent and sad, and Will
lam stood the most powerful and able
ruler in Europe. Look at Gladstone, a
Christian man, who has been ever ready
to champion the Christian faith, and to
enshrine the love OF his heart for il. In
noble life and stately word he could for
years be seen vending his way to the
village church, where he read the
lessons, as he so we'll could. Gladstone
never had any admiration for the theory
