Around the world in fifty days. This
is the time in which a Russian engineer
who has been engaged on the great
trans Siberian railroad says the jour-
ney can be made. When the railroad
is completed the distance from Vladi-
vostock to st. Petersburg, he believes,
can be made in twelve days. IF his
figures are correct there would be thir-
ty-eight days left for the rest Of the
journey, and from this number there
must be deducted five days for the trip
across the United States and seven
days for the trip across the Atlantic,
say, from New York to Havre. which
would leave margin Of twenty-six
days for the comparatively short rail
journey from Havre to ST. Petersburg
and the very long sea voyage across
the Pacific to San Francisco.

marks that have always been called
the footprints Of Downward. Recently
these traces have disappeared, and the
fact has caused so much commotion
that in the Swiss chamber deputy in
terpellated the government on the sub
ject. An official answer was returned,
based on the report Of the architect
charged with the supervision of the
castle, that no such footprints ever
really existed, but that to please visit

by means Of scraper. This year the
operation was postponed too long; but

Recent high water in Florida has
taken all the hyacinths out Of the St.
Johns River. In the upper portions Of
the stream the water rose several feet
higher than usual and landed hundred
of acres Of the hyacinths back in the
woods where the receding waters left
them to die. This is a great relief to
the boatmen, as the earlier months of
the Summer found the river so impeded
with the plant as to form a practical
barrier to commerce for days at a time.

of a tempest. A soldier was always
stationed by 1t when the sea showed
threatening Of storm. From time to
time he put the point Of his long jave.

passed between the two pieces of iron
