r.,v Railroads Built in 1895.

Prosperous in so many things the
year 1895 was the least productive of the
last twenty years in the matter of rail-
roads. Only 1882 miles of track were
laid. In 1887, $4,000 miles were put
down. The Railway Age thinks the
bottom has now been reached and sees
great activity ahead.

siOns The cedar Of antiquity, which
entered into so much of the consJruc-
ton of things of wood, was used for
building these boats. While the equip
ments of the boats had generally dis
appeared with time, the edges and ends
were ragged and little warped, their
shapely outlines still remained, so ri
gidly in evidence that the moCeler' s
skill in giving grace and shapeliness
was evident The boat that is in Chi
cago now was we'll if not better pre-
served than any. 1t is 80 feet long,
feet of beam and t feet of hold. 1t
had been propelled, of course, 10y oars,
but the points of contact for the oars
were not in evidence. A we'll preserv-
ed and peculiarly marked and designed
piece of rudder of wood was found
near the boats, and that has been
brought to Chicago as the accOmpanl-
ment of the boat now here.
Two of the boats were prOpped up
and covered for preservation until they
could be moved, and three of them were
put in shape to be carried to Cairo.
The Dashur pyramids are nearly twenty
miles above Cairo, on the opposite side
of the river, and some seven miles
from the bank Eighty men were re-
quired to carry the boats, one at
time to the river steamer on which
they were transferred to Cairo.
There, in the museum, they were
propped and stayed with iron and cedar
sufficiently to preserve them for eXhi-
bition. About 3 per cent. of the ori-
ginal amount of wood was all that
was necessary to add
From the design and decoration of
these boats it is presumed they were in
distinguished use, such as for the
transportation of spices, perfumes and
offerings of the nature that were car
ried to the resting place of the royal
dead in the pyramids. Having per-
formed these sacred duties for allotted
times and persons, it is supposed they
were then placed to remain forever
near the ager during mausoleums of
the dynasties they served in life and
death.-Chicago Journal.

It is much to be feared that the
average cyclist regards dogs with any
thing but friendly eye. There are
few of them who have not had very
narrow squeaks of a complete smash
up by running over dog. The warn
ing note of the bicycle bell is not fully
appreciated by the canine race, so that
the ingenuity of inventors has been
called into requisitiOn TO meet the case.
The latest dog frightener" consists
of a tiny electric lamp, with extremely
powerful refiectors. If a dog follows
or gets in the way of the cyclisJ riding
by night all he has to do is 10 take
his little electric lamp from his pocket,
and direct it's terrifying glare right into
the animals eyes. A second dose is
never requisite.
It is pity, says It'd Bits, that the
difficulty of getting this dog frighten-
er" recharged will stand in the way OF
its success-apart from the fact that
it is useless in the daytime.

The Board of Health convened at 3
p. m. yesterday. Present: w. O..
Smith, president; Messrs. c. \. Brown,
r. F. Lansing. Keliipio, Reynolds and
Drs. Emerson, Wood, Alvarez, Myers,
Day and MonsarTat.
The report on the act to mitigate
showed a material falling off in the
number of examinations.
Supt. Meyers of the leper settlement
reported on the quality of coal received
and the state of the weather on Molo-
kaf. He submitted a set of rules to
govern those who raised hogs at the
settlement. The rules provide that
hogs must be confined in enclosures,
and the penalty for allowing them to
run wild is a confiscation and sale at
auction, one half the proceeds to go
to the Board of Health and the other
to the owner of the hogs. Action on
this matter was postponed until after
the visit of the, Board to the settle
ment.
Seven applications were received
from Hawaiians who wish to visit the
settlement to see relatives confined
there. The matter was left in the
hands of the president to determine
how many of these requests shall be
granted.
The letter from Medical Inspector
Eldridge relative to prevalence of chol-
era and smallpox in Japan was read,
and it was resolved that in view of the
prevalence of cholera in certain places
in Japan and epidemic dysentery in
many parts of Japan and smallpox in
Kobe, a recommendation be made re-
quiring all steerage passengers COM
ing from Japanese ports be subject to
five days quarantine and disinfec-
ton of effects before embarkatiOn.
Mr.. Reynolds submitted a suggestion
for a plan for two new wings to the
Insane Asylum. The plan will furnish
81 new cells Sx9, only 6 of which are
inside rooms. The estimated cost of
the improvement is $1,000. With 9TH
er necessary improvements the cost
will be about $4,000, and the Minister
of the Interior will be asked to allow
an appropriation of that amount.
1t was also decided that a charge of
% cents each will be made for vac
cinating passengers on vessels arriving
here.
Regarding persons who wish to visit
the leper settlement with the Board
on Friday, it was given out that no
application will be noticed unless it be
in writing. This rule applies as well
to press representatives
Dr. Brown, who has been acting as
Government physician at Kealia, pre-
sented his resignation, which was ac-
cepted. Dr. Hugus will be appointed
in his place.

OLDEST BOAT KNOWN.
Small Craft in Use 1850 Years
Ago Added to a Museum.

Ago Added to a Museum.
There is in Chicago one of the five
oldest small boats known to eXOst in
the world. 1t has just come, all packed
and stayed for its long vonyage, from
the GiZeh Museum of Antiquities at
Cairo. To the generosity of Mrs. Cy-
rus Mccormick the Field Columbia
Museum is indebted for a rare gift
E. E. Aver learned in the course of his
search for interesting things in Cairo
last winter that there had been placed
in the Gizeh Museum three boats of
marvellous age and curious design. In
vestigation proved that the boats were
indeed of the rareSt value, for never
before in archaeological history have
there been discovered anything of the
kind which approached these boats in
age and interest. A viking craft found
in Norway some time ago was of use
in about the year 1000 A. D., and at
once became famous as by far the old
est specimen of water craft in exist
ence. The boats in the GiZeh Museum,
it was decided by the learned ones,
were used at least 4,500 years ago and
were cOntempOraneOus with the Dash
ur pyramids of the eleventh Egyptian
dynasty.
With this boat, which will be in
stalled in the museum, and the two
which remain in the Cairo museum,
were two more, which still rest in the
sands which stretch desolately from the
Darshur pyramids. near which they
were all found. 1t is expected the be
fore long the remaining two will be
brought to Cairo and properly in
stalled.
The five boats were found buried at
a considerable depth not far from the
famous largest pyramid. and in such
orderly form and with such mathema-
teal relationship TO the great pile Of
stone that it was evident that they had
been buried with design at that par
ticular spot. All were brought to the
light and air at once, and, after eX-
animation by scholars, proving their
marvellous age, their preservation from
the elements was at once deemed ne
cessary.
The boats were found to be alike in
the material of which they were con-
structed and in their general dimen-
