Chang Wanted Them

A most interesting report from Chi
--nese railroads is furnished to the
state department. by United States
Consul Reid, at Tien Tsin. He tells
of the difficulties encountered by the
young English engineer who ran the
!. first locomotive, in overcoming the SUI
perstitious repugnance of the govern
ment and the natives to the .rocket
dragon" as his homemade locomotive
was called, and of the engineering
features of the road from Tien Tsin
I. to Shan Hal KWan, and gives the fol-
lowing incident Of the first trip by
steam of the celebrated old 1viceroy,
III Hung Chang: '.As director general
of the road, he was given a special
car. This was furnished with selabo-
rate chairs, lounges, tables, etc, up
7holstered in silk and satin. III, on the
first trip; was profuse in his express
ions of admiration. Upon his return
to Tien Tsin his satisfaction had
reached such a point that he ordered
all the furniture, hangings, etc, to be
removed to his yamen (palace) To

Steel Canal Boat is.

5 The arrival in New York of fleet Of
steel canal boats, towed by steam
propeller from an Ohio port, is an
event of. much significance. For a
number Of years the old-fashioned
wooden boat towed by horses or mules
has been losing in the race, and the
*boatmen have had hard work to make
a living. The new boats are SO r. feet
over ALL II feet IL inches wide, and a
nodded depth Of 10 feet. Each boat
carries 23O tons on a draught of 6 feet
of water. These boats may be COM
pared to freight cars, and the propeller
by which they are towed, corresponds
to the railway. locomotive, One pro-
peller can carry 1,20O tons, of freight,
or four Or five ordinary car loads The
propeller is a steam steel canal boat,
which contains fore and aft COM
pound condensing engine, with cylin-
ders 10 and 1S inches, and 16-inch
stroke, with one Scotch boiler. The
s12O horse power engine is capable Of
towing the fleet at about six miles an
i hour in deep water. Probably: the
greatest significance of this new de-
parture lies in its bearing on insurance.
i The steel boats themselves cost but
little more than a wooden boat, proba-
bly, about 1,500 each, and the pro-
peller costs $4,000; but a wooden boat
cannot. be insured to cross the lakes
from Buffalo, consequently at that
point every thing has to be reloaded on
freight cars OF lake steamers. {

: Healing by a Sting.
From Chambers journal.

from IMAM Der6 journal.
A curious observation made by
DR.. Tere, an Austrian physician,
formed the subject OF a paper read
some time ago at a meeting of the
French chronological Society. he
asserts that a person stung by bees
is for. a time exempt from the effects
of further stinging, and is protected
in the same sense that vaccin alton
gives immunity with regard to small
pox. This protection lasts for six
months, or less, according to the
number of stings received. .-.s.
He also records that persons suf
:fering from acute rheumatism re-
quire, a large number OF bee stings
before they feel much inconvenience
from the poison received, but that
after that they are not only inocu-
lated for six months against the ef-
tects of further bee stings, but will
also remain free for that period from
rheumatic attacks! We fancy that
if=victims to this painful remedy ca n
purchase immunity from it's pains at
the expense OF a few bce-stings, they
will be very glad to do 50. .lss, ! .@.. =.

details of any branch OF business. For
Instance, in the case Of q business$di-

out where to buy furniture, the hand
is turned to 81" 1T, and on this record

for that purpose, what line Of cars to

numbers, and other useful details.
The virtue of the system lies In the
condensation made practicable IN
the case Of time table, for example,
the stations on the route can be rep
resented on the dial l-face, and the
requisite information as to time Of
starting, arrival, " accommodation,
change Of cars required, time Of re-
turn, ETC., will be available. In faAa
everything that is usually tabulated
in common time table is found in
the machine in such a shape that peo-
pie can. instantly find what they want
to know. The inventor says there is
only one drawback to the electrical
bureau, and on that account it may be
objected to by many-it will answer
only one question at time

DR.. Julian .. Chisolm, who has
Travelled extensively and is a close
observer, when asked by q report
er of the. Baltimore American to
name what startled him the most in
his sight seeing trip Of theslast SUM
mer, said: sThe street dress Of the
ancient Assyrian ladies. Among
the collection of Babylonish antiqui-
ties of the British museum his atten-
tion was attracted to the little hol-
low cylinder made from some very
hard stone or. onyx, ch alcedony, jas
par, or lapis lazuli, which we're used
as signets by the ancient Babylon
ians. Their age, as chronologically
established, is 2,3O0 B. O., long be-
fore the time assigned to the build
ing of the tower of Babylon, and
about the period Of the destruction
Of the world by the great deluge.
These cylinders are the length and

surfaces are beautifully cut intaglios.

Of these ancient carvings on such

of the museum had m ade imprints
on fine plaster, which were placed by
the side Of the cylinders Some Of
these impressions, as sharp as the
most perfect cutting on gems
Of the present day, represented
female figures dressed in the
walking costumes of that very
distant period. The style of, the
dress was very striking. The gown
was a tight lifting body, with long
fitting sleeves. The skirts clung to
the figure, about as it does to-day
on ladies fashionably attired. The
distance from the waist to the hem
OF the garment was equally given to
three broad founces or overskirts.

a Pump and Pnono,gsr,aph. !
Here is a strange story about

s.. Here is q strange story about a
pump and a phonograph, a comb biEaz
tion that will strike yoI as being alto
&gether out of the common run Of story
making. And when you have read
what follows you will say that It is
altogether out Of the common run of
story telling. zE1 ss3 &
.% A New York firm put up a large
pump for a water company out in Gal
ifornia several years ago. 1t has been
in constant use ever since, and has
4 done its work faithfully and well I'M
til lately. Something got out Of order
about it a few weeks ago, and. while
it continued to work, it's action was
not at all satisfactory.
$@ The manager Of the water company
had it examined by such experts as
be could get, but they We're not able
to decide what the trouble was. They
suggested that it had better be taken
apart, or that some one should como
out from the New York factory to look
into the matter. =: ..5z,5. 5 sS5
The manager was not willing, how
ever, to act upon either suggestion.
If the pump were taken apart he
would lose a great deal Of valuable
time, and if an expert were sent out
from New York it would cost a great
deal Of money, So he cast about for
some other means of getting over the
difficulty. = .-,$ ~ = .$1'3' !. Es
All at once an inspiration came: he
would call in. the service of the pho
nograph. If a physician could deter
mine what was the matter with a
mans heart by listening to it's action
through stethoscope, why might9t the
pump doctor not diagnose its disease
by listening to it's throbs and pulsa-
tlons. by means Of the monographs
Acting upon this novel idea, the
manager got a phonograph and spoke
into into the receiver, describing all the
pumps symptoms as nearly as he was
able. Then he placed the receiver that
the pulsations of the pun pwould be
recorded on the waxen roll.
The roll was then sent to the firm in
New York, and when they had heard
It's story, reproduced by a pbonographl
there, they at once discovered what
the defect in the pumps action was.
and suggested the, remedy. The re-
suit is that the pump is now running
as satisfactorily as it was when ii
was brand new
