INSTR UCTI0N FROM BRAzrI.

Those who believe that the railroads
of this country should be owned and
operated by the government will not
find any support for their notion in the
experience Of Brazil. The government
of Brazil has become tired of operating
railroads, and by an act of the last
congress offered to lease the entire sys-
tenn of fourteen thousand miles of track
belonging to the government to any re-
sponsible authority, who would pay a
bonus of e140GO,00 or more This
bonus was to cover the rental of the
tracks, rolling stock and other property
of fifty years, but must be accompanied
by guarantees to restore the property
No further obligation is incurred, ex-
cept the ordinary taxes. There were
no bids. Two syndicates-one compos-
ed of German capitalists, in which
Henry Krupp, the iron manufacturer,
was prominent, and the other of Eng
lish bankers, who already have large
interests in Brazil and other South
American countries-presented inform
al proposals which did not comply with
the conditions and were not considered
by the authorities. They indicated,
however. that it will be impossible for
the government to lease the entire sys-
tenn or any part of it at that minimum.
Some of the Brazilian roads may be
made very profitable. The Pedro Sc
gundo line, which is the main trunk of
the system and has about four thou
sand miles of track in the coffee States
of southern Brazil, has paid dividends
as high as per cent upon the valua-
ton OF s12O,OOO,OOO. and there are other
lines which would be large dividend

earners il they We're properly managed,
The object of unloading the railroad
system is to relieve the taxpayers of a
large annual deficit. Government oper-
alton of railroads has not proved sue
cessful in Brazil the chief reason be-
ing the difficulty of keeping politics out
of the management. The Central road,
for example, which used to pay per
cent dividends, is now burden upon
the government to the extent OF two
or three millions a year, which Is en-
tlrely due to politics, and the employ
ment Of incompetent men for political
reasons. The same is true of other rail-
roads, and, although they have been
very important In the development Of
the resources of the country, it is be-
lieved by the wisest men that they
would serve this purpose equally well
under private management. In addi-
ton to the government system of four
teen thousand miles there are about
four thousand miles under private
management, most Of which is subsi-
died. Several of these roads are pay
ing good dividends; others, which have
a per cent. guaranty, do not call upon
the government for more than or 8
per cent.

One of the important problems now
occupying the attention Of seismologists
Is the choice of system of stations in
which to carry out the seismic survey
of the world, In most of the plans
hitherto proposed every advantage has
been taken Of the astronomical observa-
tories already in existence, care being
at the same time exercised to obtain
a nearly uniform distribution of sta
lions over the earth's surface Profess
sor G. Grablovitz, however, recently
made the important suggestion that
these stations should rather follow the
distribution Of volcanoes and the great
lines of fracture of the globe He
points out that the majority of active
volcanoes are situated close to three
great circles, and he proposes that seis-
mic stations should be founded near the
six points of intersection of these cir
Giles, and near twelve other points SYM
metrically placed on the three circles.

Ta Err GUILT UP no DArn.

The investigation of the offending
newspapers proceeded right merrily
last evening. So far it appears that
THE newspapers under investigation
have been guilty of showing that
spending a dollar to collect four cents
cannot be called rigid economy; that
spending money in excess of an APP
preparation is not according to the city
charter; that such spending can be
punished by fine or imprisonment, or
both; that the mayor and the corpora
ton counsel did not make any effort to
prevent such spending; that those who
were to profit by such spending were
on hand bright and early to profit by
it; and that they will profit by it if
they get their pay.
The offending newspapers have not
yet been guilty of showing that there
was a regular "deaF' between those
who gave out the gorgeous advertise
ment and those who profited by it. The
worst they have done so far in this d.
rection is to show that the mayor and
the corporation counsel are stockhold-
ers in one of the newspapers which
published the advertisement and did
the work on it for the others; that there
was apparently some little naneuver-
ing so that the advertisement wouldn't
get into the wrong month and would
get into the right month; that it did
get into the right month; and that
while political and personal friendship
and "cahooting" didn't count in the
solemn preliminary proceedings the
gorgeous advertisement finally landed
in just the spot where it would have
| been expected to land If business inter
est and political and personal "cahoot-
| ing had counted.
| What more the offending newspapers
viii show remains to be seen. Proba-
bly, not much. What will be done to
them for showing so much cannot yet
be told. Perhaps they will be found
guilty of lese-majesty, and condemned
to furnish stereotype plates in English
| for the benefit of the German readers

IN E OSTRICH,

The ostrich is an interesting bird. 1t
is very large rattle bird of the genus
Struthio. One of its interesting habits
is the sticking of it's head into the dirt
and hoping or imagining that it is not
seen. Ostriches are also in the habit
of keeping together in large or small
flocks, There is an ostrich farm in
South Pasadena, California, but it isn't
necessary for an inhabitant of New
Haven to go as far as that in order to
see some of the habits of the ostrich
graphically Illustrated. He can attend
meeting of the Board of Finance and
watch the Republican members who are
unanimously and f1ocl1ly conducting the
investigation of the gorgeous street.

liner to be successful at such defiance.
Any one else would produce merely a
fragrant absurdity. When such hat
is worn the front tresses are allowed to
flow in an artistic irregularity and no
veil can be worn. This means that the
beauty and freshness Of the wearer
must be equal to her pocketbook.
Exacting in like degree and for the
same reasons is the dainty turban of
this picture. 1t was in fancy black
straw and had a triple, undulating brim
and low flat crown entirely covered
with small roses and foliage. The re-
naming trimming consisted of two aig-
rettes, the left one of lace and fancy
plumes rather higher than the other, in
which wired lace wings were held in
place by a full bunch of silk roses,
leaves and stems.
To wear with the big picture hats
that always abound in summer the
correct sort of veil is filmy web with
handsome dots, gathered with cloud
like looseness over face and hat. The
web may be black or white, and the
dots chenille and black With such a
hat may also be worn a black or ivory
colored lace veil, one with lace design
edge around all four sides and with
sprays Of lace design on the web over
the face. Such a veil is not drawn
under the chin, but hangs fiat and
loose, that the lace design may show
and at the same time that the sprays
may not be unbecomingly close to the
face. A veil of this sort is preposter-
ously bad taste except on some dressy,
large hat occasion. The white chiffon

exposure is to be for some time

Railroad connection with India is
again under discussion in England. A
route now proposed from Port Said
eastward across the peninsular of Sinai
to the Gulf of Ell Akabah, and thence,
following the thirtieth parallel of lati-
tude, to Bussorah. From Bussorah the
main line crosses the Shat-el-Arab and
Karun rivers by swing bridges, and
follows the coast line of the Persian
Gulf and Makran to Kurrachee. Such
q line would reduce the time between
London and Kurrachee to eight days,
and would run through regions where
British influence is predominant and
political complications attaching to
lines passing through the Russian
sphere of influence are avoided.
