The shark that brought the ships pa.

how long the fish held the custody Of

than Jonah occupied the whale, and

Time and Speed.

Infinite time is difficult to grasp.
Distance is more easily understood,
and some things which Sir Robert
Ball has to say about the distance Of
the stars from US will assist US in COM
pairing them to the sun. OF these the
most striking Is Arcturus, and DR.. FL
kin has put this star at such distance
from the solar system that the orbit
Of the earth round the sun must seem
from Arcturus as large as penny piece
would, seen at hundred miles. Arc
turus, In other words, IS perhaps a
dozen times as far off fron US as Pro.
cyon IS, and Procyon, one Of the near
est bright stars, Is a million times
the distance Of the sun from US.
But the marvellous thing ebout Arc
turuS il its movement q very distinct

not as large as some stars. Lately,
however, the spectroscope has aseer-
tanned for US the pace Of stars along
the line Of sight, and Arcturus travels,
It is now believed, at the rate Of $50
miles a second. Such speed as this ia
truly terrific, and we may well ask
where this furious star is hurrying to.

RAILROAD NOMENCLATURE.
Che Title Does Not Always show WhszV
the Road Eegins and Ends.

the Road Eegins and Ends.
It might be supposed that railroads
,hich bear usually geographical names
would show by their title what points
they connect, but there are many
exceptions in this respect and some Of
them are surprising, says the New
York Sun. The St. Louis & San
Francisco railroad, for instance, might
be supposed to run from St. Louis to
San Francisco. Actually it runs 327
miles west of St. Louis. The Nine
apolis & St. Louis railroad would ap-
pear to run from Minneapolis to St.
Louis. It actually runs from Mine
apolis to Angus, Iowa, about half way
to St. Louis. The Omaha & St. Louis
railroad does not run from Omaha to
St. Louis, but from Omaha to Patton
burg, Mo. St. Louis is 267 miles
farther east. The Toledo, st. Louis
& Kansas City railroad (or "Clover
Leaf" as it is more generally called
runs from Toledo to st Louis, which
is the western terminus of the road.
Kansas City is 325 miles away. The
Toledo, Peoria & Western railroad
dose not run from Toledo to Peoria,
but from the Indiana state line to
Warsaw, III.
The New York, Chicago & St. Loui.
railroad (or Nickle Plate, as it is
universally called) does not run from
New York to Chicago and St. Louis
It runs from Buffalo to Chicago, and
a passenger upon it coming east and
landing at Buffalo would be over 400
miles from New York, while pas
senger upon it going west and landing
at Chicago would be 800 miles from
St. Louis. The Philadelphia & Erie
railroad runs from Sunbury, Pa, tc
Erie. The Pennsylvania, Poughkeepsie
& Boston railroad is ninety-six miles
long, from Slatington, Pa, to Camp
bell Hall, on the Ontario & Western.
The Fort Worth & Denver City rail
road is wholly in Texas, Goes not
touch Denver, and does not run into
Colorado.
These peculiarities in railroad
nomenclature are supplemented by
another. All the coal-carring ro.-ds
running latitudinally in the eastern
states have as part of their title the
words "and western" Here are some
of them: Delaware, Lackawanna &
Western; the New York, Lake Erie &
Western; the Lake Erie & Western;
the Norfolk & Western the New York
Susquehanna & Western; the Pittsburg
& Western. The quantity Of coal
transported by these railroads col.
lectively amount to more than $4,000
900 tons year.
