Trans-Caspian Railway.

The railway which has been con-
structed by Russian engineers between
the Caspian sea and Samarkland is one
of the most remarkable undertakings
in the world. For most of its length
it passes over a sandy desert. 1t also
owes its existence to a single indlyid-
ual and the engineering feats in con.
nection with its building are notable.
Work was begun in 1880 and in a
wear IA miles had been built. The
difficulties experienced in carrying the
road across the OXus river were great
for the river is nearly three miles wide
at the point of crossing. y series OF
bridges resting on dams was made. the
first $40 feet. the others from 200 TO
500 feet long. The bridge is of wood,
resting on piles, and the whole OF the
material had to be brought from Rus
STA, as there is no timber in central
Asia
The constant shifting of the sand IN
the desert the road runs through was
dangerous and disheartening. Gen.
Annenkoff, who was in charge, tried
the growing of various lichens in the
hope Of discovering one which would
bind the sand with its roots and finally
chose the shrub saXaoul, which has
been planted in millions over the sandy
tract. 1t keeps the sand from drifting
over the tracks and with the aid OF
fences makes the sandstorms of no mo-
ment
The trans-Caspian line is valuable TO
Russia. as in time of war she could
transport troops within short dis
lance of India The line is already be-
ing worked at profit, for in 1890 3 per
cent was the amount it paid, and to-
day that sum is probably doubled.

COPPER NOT GOLD is KING.

company is now receiving IS cents "a

pany is running % stamp mills COM
pared with l6 a year ago, ana as us
copper can be produced at cents "a
pound at the mine the Calumet ana
Hecla is now realizing a profit OF
SLOOO.OOO month. The directors
naturally want nothing TO do with
the new copper combine. They have
really gold mine on their hands in
northern Michigan, and what more
could they ask. The gold mines in
the Rand of South Africa are not 50
profitable, counting on the invest
ment and the expenses OF operating,
who could have imagined fifty years
ago that Il copper mine on Lake
Superior would ever be considered
as valuable property as any gold
mine in the world? So extraordinary
are the mutations in modern invest
ments that it takes time to realize
whether IA man holds prize or
draws a blank.

DAMAGE LAW AMENDED.

Oshkosh Northwestern
A law was passed by the legisla-
turc at its session Just closed to
somewhat relieve counties, towns
and cities from the burden Of dam
age suits for injuries on defective
bridges and highways. Under the
amended law only one suit can be
brought and that by the injured
person. Formerly other members of
the family might bring actions for
damages for loss Of services, etc.
This has been entirely cut off, and
now the husband can not sue for
mental anguish and loss of society
and service OF his wife, who may
have been injured; nor can parent
or guardian sue for damages for the
los. of time or service or minor
child. Hereafter damages san ac-
crue only to the person receiving the
bodily injury. Notice of injury must
be served within ninety days, and
no damages can be recovered for in
mrics which are the result OF accum-
untious Of ice and snow unless it
can be shown that such accumula-
tions have existed for at least three
weeks. 1t will be noticed that the
tendency of legislation is more and
more towards protecting government
tai corporations from the many petty
damage suits that poster our towns
and cities. If a man stubs his toe
or falls over hump in the road, he
up and sues the corporation for dam
ages. Niue-tenths of these accidents
occur for reason that no amount Of
care and watchfulness on the part of
authorities could prevent. The in
dividual citizen ought to be supposed
to somewhat take his own chances,
aud ought 10 be presumed to know
the risks which every man is com
ppllcd To ran i'm this world. If he
happens to get hurt ny some mere
Glance defect, for which the corpor.
alton might In "A stain be held re-
pou~jhle, me is sll far from oNcus-
