For it's length the champion railroad i'm this country for tunnels, s.eep grades. lofty trestles and sharp curves, said ar railroad builder, "is tha Cranberry rail- road, which extends from Johnson Clty. Tenn, to the Cranberry iron mines iun North Carolina, distance of thirt y-fvo miles. It runs through a region of lnoun- tains, ravines and swift, crooked streams. There are six long tunnels, cut through. solid rock, and score or morSof trestlss spanning deep, wide gorges. some of them at height of nearly POO feet above the bottoms of the chasms. Grades of 150 feet to the mile are common. The road was begun as a standard gauge road, bu. Id, Was found impossible to build it of that gauge owing to the heavy grades and tha snarp curves, some of which almosb' oouble on themselves, and it was chans,ef lo narrow gauge. Even then it coso Yer $v0,OOO mils to build.
 While the Cranberry railroad is per- maps the crookedes. and steepest railroad ot its kind in the country, another North Carolina road is the straightest and moss icVel This is the Carolina Central t,a rb or the Seaboard Air Line system, which for l25 miles has not the sligh est c;lrve nor as much as foot of cutting, with no grade as much as d foot to the mile-NeW York Sun.

TWELVE HOURS SUFFICIENT.

It is a reasonable regulation of a rail- road company to keep its station opsn only from o'clock in the morning to o'clock at night in a village in which there are but fifty inhabitants? This quesiion has just been answered in the affirmative in tho courts of Indiana at circuit and upon appeal. A passenger had bought return ticket. which he was required to have stamped at such a sta- ton before 1t would be receivable for his homeward trip. He neglected to apply at the station for this purpose until after 2 D. m., when the office had been closed for the day. and he insisted that under these circumstances the conductor YVES bound to accept his ticket unstainped. as 1t was unreasonable not to keep the alton open longer. The courts. however were unanimous of the opinion that twelve hours a day afforded the passenger an ample opportunity to present his ticket. and that the railroad could not be requir- ed to keep It's station at such a village open day and night.-New York Sun.

 ITO give the technical answer to the question of the caption, steel is refined iron recarburised To give a popular answer to the question, it is a comblria- tion artificiany produced of pure iron with carbon.
 Common pig iron made every day ir this district is rot, as most peOpIe may suppose, pure iron or even approximately ! pure. It contains as a rule ' to 8 per cent. of metalloids or impurities ramely, carbon, silicon, manganese, phosphorus, and sulphur. All these elements except the carbon are injurious to steel and their presence in the steel would make it worthless by reason Of brttleness. It Is therefore necessary to remove them from the iron. This can be done sub ,stantially in the ordinary process of pud- ding or in the oid-fa shioned bloomery In such cases the approximately pure wrought iron produced either from the
