 Dr. Lillienfeld, the celebrated Vienna chemist, has discovered a process for making albumen artificially from the waste products of coal tar. It can be made at so little cost that eight cents worth will support life for day. But is there any profit in supporting life on eight cents 6 day?
 It is announced that Claus Spreckles is going to extend his San Francisco and San Joaquin Valley railroad from Bakersfield, two hundred miles through the Teton Pass to a junction with the branch of the Atchison which runs to Los Angeles. This would give the Atchison system an entrance to San Francisco independent of the Southern Pacific.

 The bicycle has certainly caught Der lin. The other day when the two large races, the one for the 'prize of Germa- n.y. and the other for the "prize of Ber- lin,'' were contested, admittance sold much higher to either than the choicest places in the opera house would have cost, and boxes were auctioned off as high as $5 a seat. On one of the days they took in some 1000 marks Cor about $15,ooO) and altogether the owners of the race track are said to have made a matter of about 100000 marks thus far this season. The prize of Berlin, 1S,O00 marks, was raised by voluntary subscriptions among the lovers of the sport in the city.
 Some people, including some doctors, say there is no such disease as hydro phobia A return just issued by the London County council shows that thir- teen cases of rabies were reported in the county in the year 1897-S, as against sixty-one in the preceding year, and that no case of hydrophobia has been reported in the last twelve months. The order of the Board of Agriculture re- uuiring all dogs in a public place to be rnuzzled with wire-cage muzzles, went into force in April, 1897. From Febru- ary to March 2S last 4,787 dogs were seized by the police, 1,231 of which were subsequently, claimed at the police sta- tions and dogs home, while 3,556 were destroyed or otherwise disposed of. In consequence of. the prevalence of rabies on the European Continent, an order was issued prohibiting the importation of dogs into Great Britain, except by a license of the Board of Agriculture, which is only granted on condition that the imported animal is detained on the owners premises for a considerable pe- riod after landing. Mir. A. Spencer, chief officer of the Local Control de- partment of the County council, is of opinion that this order will be ineffect- i've in giving protection against the introduction of rabies into Great Britain so long as importation from Ireland is not regulated, and so long as imported dogs are not kept in strict quarantine for at least six months by public authority. Experience, he says. teaches that it is quite useless to expect an owner to keep dog in strict isolation for any considerable pe- riod.
