ROundhouse.

POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y, Nov. 15.-Loco-
motive No. 499, of the New York Central
and Hudson River Railroad. is believed by
some of the employees to be subject to mys-
terious influences. The big locomotive at
2 o'clock yesterday morning was standing
in the round house when it suddenly moved
out at great speed. No one was near the
engine at the time, and the watchman had
passed it few minutes before when it
seemed inanimate
The engine plunged through the big
doors of the round house and ended its
runaway career in the turntable pit about
fifty feet away. The engine lay in the pit
all day, completely blocking the round
house.
Railroad men say that they cannot ac-
count for the freak of the engine, unless 1t

1t Is worthy of note that the prospect
ing scientists got along amicably to-
gether--the seasons work will be fol-
suits. We don't know just what the
Wyoming laws on the subject are; and
the prospectors didn't either; but they
agreed upon an unwritten law, that

abundance of lamellibranches, CASTER

curious find of all was a choice saurian

Beecher of Yale once wrote a label for
such a specimen, using the ink it had
preserved so successfully.

Philadelphia limits seven thousand Of
her school children to half time. The
number of children who cannot attend
school for full time in that city has
grown from year to year, and yet the
council steadily neglects to provide the
money to build the necessary schools.
In st. Paul it is a choice of evils for
the school board, whether to open IN
suitable school annexes, or to put in
operation the halliday sessions. In
Allegheny City. Scranton and other
cities in Pennsylvania the complaint is
heard that there is not adequate seat
ing capacity in the school buildings.
There is lack of accommodations in
every school district in Boston, and
about thirty outside places have been
leased. In Rochester. N. Y, the rooms
are overcrowded, attics of school build
ings have been utilized, and recitations
are heard on the stairwavs. and yet,
with all these expedients hundreds of
children have been refused admission.
In many of these cases the shortage
of school room has been traced to too
much politics.

Prospecting in Wyoming.

T is gratifying to learn that the fos-
sill prospectors in Wyoming have
enjoyed a remarkably successful
season, locating some of the choicest
dinosaur, plesiosaur and ichthyosaur
claims yet discovered. More than one
hundred learned prospectors, repre-
senting fifty-eight colleges and mu-
seums, have been exploring the region
all summer, many of them having been
grub staked by Andrew Carnegie. Sew

The Carnegie museum collectors. for
instance, struck a ''double-raftered"
creature with a long neck. Peculiarly
adapted, it would seem, for rubbering
purposes. 1t also had a very long tail,
long hindlegs and short forelegs, the
whole length of the animal being sixty
feet. 1t stood twenty feet high at the
hips, the thigh bone, or femur, being
six feet long and fifteen inches in diam
eter. Its head was as fiat as frogs,
and 1t had relatively no greater brain
capacity. The animal was found near
the surface, and the prospectors have
already secured the vertebral column,

The New Kearsarge.
rHE Kearsarge, which is undergo
ing her speed tests off the coast
Of Nh &c L.

rHE Kearsarge, which is undergo
ing her speed tests off the coast
of Massachusetts,, is a splendid
big battleship of the latest design. AL
though she ranks as the heaviest of our
battleships up to the present time, she
is unquestionably one of the feetest
1t is nothing to her to fulfil her con-
tract requirements, sixteen knots an
hour. The Kearsarge has an arma-
ment slightly in excess of that of the
Iowa. Being little longer than that
ship, with the same breadth, she has
mean draft of six inches less than the
Iowa-a condition which it is believed
will serve her in good turn in giving
her access to harbors. In addition to
other advantages, the new Kearsarge
wears armor of great strength and in
vulnerability.
The special novelty in the construc-
ton of the Kearsarge is the fact that
her turrets are placed one above an
other, popularity the efficiency Of
which some naval experts have doubted.
They fear that in battle service one set
VI SulS may Dc ny tht toil-
cussion of the other. They fear also
that the turrets so placed will detract
from the vessels stability and buoy
ancy. Her builders, however, are con-
fident that the innovations are a posi-
tive advantage. H..
The historic Kearsarge of the civil
war was a wooden cruiser, displacing
scarcely one thousand five hundred and
fifty tons and having not more than
eight hundred and forty-three horse
power. Yet she ranks as one of the
famous warships of history and de-
servedly so. 1t is to per~etuate her
name in the navy list that the latest
warship Is known as the Kearsarge,
instead of bearing the name of some
state. in accordance with established
custom.
