Speed OF Suburban Trains.

In east Trains and Business Policy"
Colonel II. G. Prout, in The Engineering
Magazine, thus explains the double advan-
tages gained by rapid service:
1t Is obvious that, as increased speed Of
suburban trains adds to the wealth and to
the comfort of mankind, so 1t will add to
the revenues of the railroads themselves,
and It is obvious that, other things being
nearly equal, the railroad that gives the
fastest service will be preferred by subur-
ban residents. The resultO rapid develop
ment of it's suburbs and Is suburban busi-
ness. A thin suburban traffic is bad bust
ness. It is done at q loss to the railroad
and is unsatisfactory to the commuter, and
the service must, In the nature Of things,
be poor. A dense suburban business Ia
probably profitable II 10 easily handled,
considering its volume, and Is likely to be
as nearly satisfactory 70 the oommutsr as
IL can be made. But have yet to know
more than about dozen satisfied commu-
ters, and my knowledge of them is extend
cd
A characteristic instance of the increase
of suburban speed and Of It's effect comes
from one of the big railroads entering Chi
oago In eight years the average speed rose
from about 30 miles to about 30 miles an
hour, and in that time the volume of the
suburban business more than doubled, but
1.-THE increase is certainly not due entirely
to improved train service; more largely to
other conditions.

The Harem In the Orient.

Captain j. W. Gambler, royal navy,
who has seen much Of eastern life, believes
In the harem as best suited to the follow
ers Of Islam. In The Fortnightly Review
he thus cites the past:
Perhaps the most illogical attack oi
Christendom against Islam Is as to the
continuance of the institution Of the ha-
rem, that institution which Is literally a
red rag to bull to us. Certain things are
inherently true of themselves, and one
might be disposed to imagine that the
morality of the Omnipotent would be one
of these, would be a question not admit
ting of dispute, inflexible and eternal
The moral laws are very few, and lying Gn
all its branches), theft, murder and adul-
terry would seem to embrace them all.
But the Christian oonvicts his Creator
of having had the laxest views as regards
the last at one period-David, Solomon,
and SO forth-by laying his finger on this
very institution In the religion of Moham-
med as the one convincing evidence Of ite
damnable wickedness. 1t seems never to
OCCUR to the Christian that the Omnipotent
is under no Immediate obligation to blow
hot and cold TO suit him. The system of
the harem Is admirably suited to oriental
nature, as 1t is at present, and Is an i'm
mense advance on that of Nicolas, COM
panion of Jesus, and one of the seven first
deacons of Jerusalem, who preached the
community of women. The court of any
Biblical king was very much the same as
that of Abdul Aziz, and there 10 not much
to choose between Ahab and Abdul Hamid
hundreds of women guarded by eunuo.s,
court parasites, dancers and all the usual
accompaniment of eastern'1ife; all power
and wealth concentrated in the hands Of a
timid, weak monarch; thousands Of poor
wretches starving in countries desolated
by war, and 80 forth.

A Tough Old Pie.

In forme- times passengers to Gloucester
by the Great Western railway had to stop
at Swindon long enough to lunch at the
station, says LeDdon Truth. Lord Somers
often went to and from Eastnor castle and
often tried to have meals at Swindon, but
was forced to leave of trying There were
then no refreshment contractors. In one
of his halts he was given veal pie In a
turret of crust as hard as any tower ut
Eastnor.
He thought he had seen the pie before
and In vain endeavored to cut into the pie
crust wall. A merry thought came into
his head. The earl had quantity of gum
med labels for curios in his pocket He
gummed ono of them on the bottom of the
pie and left A fortnight later he return
ed, ordered he same lunch and found the
label on the bottom of the turret that was
eet before him.

The sidsveal olook II considered che most
wonderful instrument In the 0revnwich
observatory. This marvellous instrument
10 In an underground room called tho mag
netio basement, where u stands Ike . SEN
tinel, with It's back against the wall, tick
ing its seconds a. prescribed BY the "oloek
stars"
This reference 10 the "clock stars''--
fixed stars slightly over 300 in number,
which arc used for determining sidereal
time-brings us to the transit circle, the
most important instrument In the obsorva-
tory, and one of the most interesting.
Il consists of large telescope, the out
side of which is not unlike great cannon,
as Il Is of solid iron. This instrument is
supported by trunnions, which allow the
telescope to be elevated or depressed, to
point north or south, and, In fact, to make
q complete revolution. bat never to diverge
from the north and south line. The mag
nifying power of this instrument Is not
very great, but It's field of view Is large
80 that 1t admits plenty Of light, for 1t Is
not intended as a searoher after or gazer
at celestial objects, but for noting the ex-
act time at which stars and planets pass
south and north of Greenwich.
Upon looking through this telescope the
observers eye Is first arrested by vertical
row of what seem to be iron bars placed
at equal distances from each other. They
are, however, neither more nor less than
spiders webs, the center one, passing
through the focus Of the object glass, be-
ing the meridian line.
BY observing the time at which the
"clook stars pass over the web lines, or
"wires," as they are called, Is sidereal
time regulated. The adjustment of the In
strument has to be extremely exact In or
deI to obviate error. The slightest thing
will put 1t out, even 30 small matter as
too much sunshine.
On one occasion the correction for lev
ell error in the instrument having become
inconveniently large, owing, apparently,
to subsistence Of the eastern support,
about ton weight of stone was placed on
the western pier. But this having no ef-
feet, the stones were removed and sheet
of very thin paper was placed under the
support on the eastern side, by which
means the error was corrected. This will
give some idea of the delicacy of adjust
ment necessary for the perfect working of
this ponderous instrument.-NewO Orleans
