Puzzling the Royal Society.

Pulling the Royal Society.
The proceedings Of the Royal society
OF London were not taken so seriously
%15o years ago as they are now. A sail
or who had broken his leg was advised
to send to the Royal society an account
OF the remarkable manner in which he
: had healed the fracture. He did SO. His
story was that, having fractured his leg
{ by falling from the top of mast, he
had dressed it with nothing but tar and
oakum, which had proved so wonder
fully eficacious that in three days he
was able to walk just as well as before
the accident. This remarkable story
naturally caused some excitement among
the members of the society. No one had
previously suspected tar and oakum Of
possessing such miraculous healing
powers. The society wrote for further
] particulars and doubted, indeed, wheth-
er the leg had been really fractured.
The truth Of this part Of the story, how
ever, was proved beyond the shadow Of
q doubt. Several letters passed between
the Royal society and the humble sail
or, who continued to assert most solemn
{ u that his broken leg had been treated
with tar and oakum, and with these
two applications only. The society
might have remained puzzled for an in
definite period had not the honest sail
or remarked in a postscript to his last
letter:

able features.
A railroad building race involving
the expenditure Of Sic, 600 000, has been
commenced by two wealthy corpora
lions, each of which desires to own the
first railroad into the Yukon country.
Each road will be about 400 miles long,
running from Pyramid harbor, near
the head of Lynn canal, the points on
Lewis river, below Five Finger rapids.
The companies back of the railroad
projects are the London Exploration
Company and the Yukon Company, or
ganized last summer by Andrew f..
Burleigh, the principal stockholders Of
which are Philadelphia and New York
men. Both corporations have engin-
GERS and surveyors at work between
Pyramid harbor and the Lewis river.
The projectors Of both roads figure on
an average cost of over $4,000 mile,
requiring an outlay of over $S,O00,0O0
for each road.
The equipment for each will cost
about Si,CC0,0G0 more Both compan-
les have secured rights of way from
