AFTER three years of litigation the
princely bequest of the late Leland
Stanford, of California, has been paid
over to the university bearing his
name. The bequest amounts to So, ,5OO,-
600, and the bonds draw interest at the
rate of $4,000 month. The only be-
quests comparable to this in amount
were those of Stephen Girard to the
Girard college, Philadelphia; of Ezra
Cornell to the Cornell university, and
of John ID. Rockefeller TO the Univer-
sity OF Chicago. Leland Stanford uni
versity will soon become-if it is not
already-one of the best equipped uni.
versities in the United States.

THERE are to be about 200 railway
stations distributed over the new ST.
berian railway. The rolling stock will
comprise 1000 locomotives, 5000 pas
senger cars and 5000 goods wagons.
The passenger traffic will be almost ex-
clusively confined to third or fourth
classes, and the tariff will be very low.
The works in connection with this
great undertaking are being pushed on
with much energy, and the work is ex-
pected to be completed in about six
years. The opening of this line will
shorten the journey round the world
by about 90 days.

PROF. j. w. SPENCER, Phi. D., F. G. S.,
an expert in geology, who has been
studying the Niagara Falls for several
years, has an article in the Popular
Science Monthly for May in which he
computes the age of the falls at 1000
years, which is about three times as
great as recent estimates. Prof. Spen-
Ger further announces that the land at
the eastern end of Lake Erie is rising
at the rate of a foot and a quarter a
century, and that owing to this tipping
up of the shore the falls must cease to
exist Within the next 5000 wears.

years Of age, was burned to death Fri
day at Hammond. There are num-
ber of conflicting stories as to the acci-
dent. The most plausible one is that
the parents were working in the field,
leaving three -childen in the house.
Two of them we're in the cradle near
the fire, and the Oldest one, getting too
near the fire, was soon ablaze. Run
ming ont of the house the flames were
famed, and the child fatally burned,
dying two hours later. The children
in the crib came near burning. The
parents and neighbors extinguished the
