reference to the fear OF "Carlist up

King Ferdinand OF Spain. In 1888. bis

Ferdinand's brother, claimed 10 be en-
titled to the honor under the salic law,
which provided that no female should

descendant Of the King was living.
This law. however, had been revoked
by Ferdinand, who had no children at
the time. but six months after his death
daughter was born. and she became
queen to the exclusion Of Carlos. The
latter's descendants, who are called
Carlists. have since persistently insist
ed that. by right OF succession. the
throne belongs to them, and for over
30 years Spain has been subject to Car
list uprisings, which have simply meant
number OF unsuccessful wars. the de-
struction OF property. and general pub
lie unrest. The Carlists have found
their strength in what are called the
babque provinces, dominated mostly
by the clergy. who believe in the divine
right of kings and OF kingly success
sion. The inhabitants OF the Basque
region are largely shepherds and farm
ers- They are good fighters. and have
been the main strength Of the Carlis'
forces. A strong sentiment in favor Of
a republic exists In the cities, where
the people have been led TO independ
ent views by education, reading anc
travel. 1t is unnecessary to say that be
tween what are called the Republican,
and the Carlists there Is a strong anti
pathy, for their aims are radically diff

Some years ago Commander Banare

a hydrophone and by which he was able

from the float the wires were carried TO
a receiver on a ship or on the shore.
Thus with two or three miles of wire

to five miles distant.

The st. Gothard Railway Company,
in Switzerland and Italy report very
satisfactory results from the use of
steel sleepers on their lines. In 1889,
when the road was opened, it was laid
with wood sleepers, but as these have
had to be replaced. it has been done
with steel instead. and at the present
time 20 per cent OF the road is laid on
steel ties. The Shoppers weigh 1853
pounds each. are 1855 feet long. The
cost. when new, with attachments, Is
$l.95, which, allowing for the value of
the old material and the cost of laying,
is reduced to Sl.b2 per sleeper, which
is saving of per cent over wood
sleepers. The line is a heavy one, and
the trains are hauled at express speed.
The engines weigh 100 tons each. The
cost OF steel ties In the end is less than
that of wood. In tunnels, wooden ties
are preferred, as they are not liable to
rust, but in other places the deteriora.
tion due to rust Is absolutely insignia.

Origin of Postage strmps.

The Incident which resulted In the

north OF England CHANGED TO reach the
door Of an inn just as a postman stop

for whom It was intended came out to
receive II. She turned II over and over
I'm her hands and asked the price of the
postage. The price demanded was a
shilling. and as the girl was poor she
returned 1t to the postman. saying that
II was from her brother, but that she
had not that amount OF money. The
traveller, In spite Of her protest, paid
the money to the postman and handed
the letter to the girl. When the post
man departed the young girl admitted
that she and her brother had arranged
nv certain marks upon the letter that
the other should know that the writer
was In good health and prospecting.
1--WE are so poor" she added. that
We were forced to Invent this way of
letting each other know OF our wei
