The major had another exciting, ana
somewhat amusing experience in the
Northwest. The region abOunded in rattle
snakes. He was on a collecting trip lie
had tied his horse, and was making his
way through a patch of thick, tall grass.

same time he felt a singing blow in the

revealed two small puncures in the flesh.
Hurrying to his horse the major quickly
emptied large flask of whisky, which
he always carried for emergencies of the
kind. Again he examined the wound, ana
noticed that instead of being parallel, as
the wounds should have been had they
been made by a poisonous snake, one was
situated above the other. A moments re-
Election solved the problem. He had not
been bitten by the snake, but in Jumping
from the reptile, in some manner he had
struck himself vi h one of his spurs.
Realizing the effect of such a dose OF
whisky, when not coping with poisonous
venom, he started for the fort at all poss

for before he arrived he was Keeling in his
saddle. There were several hours of scan

From the National Geographic Magazine.
Construction of the Panama Railroad
was began in the month of May 1880, and
it was opened for traffic Jan. Is, 1855. The
length of the road is forty-seven and one
half miles The cost of its construction
was 5000. 600 It continued TO be the prin-
cipal avenue for commerce between the At
lantic and Pacific coasts of the United
States until the competition of the first
trans continental railroad, the Union and
Central Pacific, on May 10, 1869. During
the year ended June 80, 1863 the total value
of merchandise shipped from New York 10
San Francisco and from San Francisco to
New York via Panama amounted 10 So
202 90. As the result of trans-continental
railroad competition, it fell in the following
year, 10 1854 30. During the year ended
June 30. 1898 it amounted to only $4,S07, 2S3.
Upon the completion of the Union aud
Central Pacific Railroad line in 1869, the
carriage of passengers, the mails. coin ana
bullion express goods, perishable goods,
and all the more valuable fast freghts'
was at once DETECTED to the transcontnan-
tai railroad, neVermore TO be transferred
to any possible trans-isthmian rail
or water route. Since the year
1863 eight other transcontinental
| lines and parts of lines have been
constructed, and direct connections have
| been formed with lines reaching TO every
| center of trade and of production in this
country from the Atlantic to the Pacific
and from Canada to the Gulf.
! Thus an enormous internal and trans
| continental traffic has sprung up. The to-
tai freight traffic of the Panama Railroad,
| through and local embracing freights to
| and from the entire western coast of North
| America. Central America, and South
America amounted during the year 1897
| to only 290G5l tons, whereas the tonnage
| carried across the continental divide by
! rail- according to the best means of infor-
| nation. amounted to over 100000 tons and
included freights of every class, from the
| highest to the lowest Besides an enor-
| nous local traffic has sprung up along the
| trausconunental lines and their branches.
| A vast area has thus been reclaimed to the
arts of civiliza ton. The seVenty-ton steel
| locomotive and the eightypound steel rail
| have become the chief instrument aiites OF
the grandest and most efficient system OF
| TRANSFORMATION ever seen on this globe, and
the demand for still larger achievements is
| inDerative The 100-ton steel locomotive
had been built. the 10-p0und steel rail has
been laid, and the practicability Of the 10
mound steel rail is affirmed The determin-
ing economic factor in the case is no rail
road grades or mountain SUBMITS or con
tinental slopes, but coal, the price Of coal
IT is a mere Questin of fuel, and nature
has granted to our country superabundan
supplies of that invaluable source o.

CHICAGO MARKETS.


Chicago, Feb. 8.--A loss of nearly a cent
bushel at Liverpool to begin with caused
"a momentary weakness in wheat here at
the start. May opened Nc lower at 715s@
71Ac, but as the depression on the other
side was acknowledged to have been
caused by the decline here yesterday
prices soon took turn upward. The Sc
we're cold caused a further apprehension
with regard to winter wheat and zero
weather was reported prevailing almost as
far south as Texas. Advices from Michi-
gan agricultural societies expressed the
opinion that the plant in the state suffered
considerably during the last month. Light
Northwestern receipts also aided the bulls
and May was gradually bid up to 72i4c
Exporters here stated that foreign bids
were cents out of line, but New York
reported 80 boatloads sold for export.
Trade was chiefly professional in cash. ac-
tive in spots and dull over large spaces
of time. AS the session advanced the
shorts became uneasy and sold moderately
to cover privilege sales and May, which
had sagged back to 72c, started rising
again. Near the end a more positive bull
ishness was shown with heavy buying of
July by st. Louis parties the feature. The
local crowd stuck to the May delivery and
forced it up to 72Bc, the price at the
close being 71Ac buyers.
Extreme cold dry weather started corn

nothing was being offered from the coun-
try, however, and the market became de-
cidedly strong, with the buying quite gem

and other work, asrise in price was to be
expected. Until quite recently the inn
provement was natural and legitimate
one, and the producers could derive only
benefit from it. Now, however, the specu-
lators have taken hold, and the intention
is said to be to force the quotations UP to
~ cents. which Is quite possible under
present conditions. The inevitable result
will be to curtail consumption and to turn
manufacturers to other metals wherever
they can possibly be used. Moreover, there
will be general opening up of old mines
which have been abandoned as improbable
and an exploitation of new ones, which
will be sure to increase production to a
point beyond the real demand. The newt
able reaction will be disastrous to specu-
lation and injurious to investors in new
and old mines, which cannot be worked
at profit under ordinary conditions. The
moderate advances justified by trade con-
ditions would have benefited our mines far
more than any temporary advantages
they may gain from the present wild
speculation.-Eng and Mining

The market has this week made fur
Their progress on Its upward course. The
higher prices do not appear to check bust
ness; on the contrary, large transactions,
limited only by the quantities still avail
able, were closed. both here and abroad.
Manufacturers have raised their prices
and report a great deal Of business doing
at the higher range of values. From Eu-
rope, too, we hear that manufacturers are
exceedingly busy and buying largely at
the advancing prices. Copper for early de-
liveries appears to be as scarce over there
as it is over here. The market on Mon
day opened with lake quoted at 161ac, and
advanced steadily until the close, when
sales at 1Sc were reported Electro1ytic
copper also has advanced and closes at
17lac for cakes, wirebars and ingots; 17Ac
for cathodes; 17Ac for casting copper is
quoted.
