An Amerienn Hallway Train.

TWO interesting railway features are ~~-
der way. One is an American railway
train consisting Of ordinary coaches, pal
ace car and express car. which will run
frequently between the main grounds OF
the exposition and the annex at Vim
cennes One might almost hope that this
train might be an object lesson to the be-
nighted Calls and induce them 70 give up
their antiquated system of compartment
cars in favor of our more convenient and
healthful designs, were it not for the ex-
pertence of an English railway SONS
years ago. The American line of steam
ships docks a Southampton. From there
to London, trains are run at high speed i'm
two and half hours. The American
line endeavored 10 please it's patrons by

Will probably be the same in Paris. Ths
other railway novelty will be an immensa
panorama of the barbaTic scenery along

Railway.

get her out of bed in d short time. s he
put her under cure of three spoonsful of
the water he had in his boot, on the bara
stomach fasting for nine mornings. The
other doctors looked on and shook their
heads, but darent say anything. But the
tables were soon turned on them. for sure

serpents and then she got up out Of her
bed, and walked out as fine. strong AMI

ask TO see And she was so well pleased
at this, and the King was so well pleased,
that they sent home Murroghoo-beg with
double her weight in gold along with him.
After Murroghoo-beg came home he went

mornings bathing his eyes in il every
morning, and on the ninth morning his
ewes and his eyesight were as good as ever
Poor Murroghoo-beg could not live happy
and well for the remainder of his days, only
the dread was in him still Of Murroghoo-

nut him TO death. and take his gold. And
right enough, # wasn't long till II came

OUR TWO GIANT MAPS.
Fart of the United states Exhibit to
the Paris Exposition.

Fart of the United states Exhibit to
the Paris Exposition.
New York, Sept. s-Among the exhibits
In the space reserved for the United States
at the forthcoming Paris exposition will
be two of the biggest maps ever made.
The largest and most important one VIII
be that OF the United States, which the
Geological Survey Corps has been working
on for over twenty years. When finished
this map win cover somewhat more than
an acre IN superficial area.
Some idea OF The gigantic plans upon
which this map is being constructed and
of the magnitude of the undertaking may
be formed by considering the fact that the
portion which delineates the little state OF
of Connecticut and the northern tip of
Long Island is six feet in length and near-
~ five feet wide.
When this wonderful map Is finished 10
will indicate the exact location OF every
river, creek brook, mountain, hill vail
ley, farm, sehoolhouse, village, town and
city In the United States, and win show
every public and private road and highway
as perfectly as the surveyors map gives
them I'm the township. The copy which
viii be exhibited at Paris, viii be mount
ed in sections ana win be properly put
together in the department reserved for
American exhibits.
The ether map to be exhibited, while not
covering as much space, viii be on much
larger scale. This map will delineate
Greater New York and will scale 900 feet
to the inch, The first appropriation of
$1,000, which was made last year, has
been found TO be insufficient to complete
the work, and therefore an additional APP
preparation VIII be asked for during the
next session Of Congress.
Away up In the air above Greater New
York. imaginary lines are being run. in
the preparatory work Of making the map.
For weeks this sky measuring has been go
ing on and the air over the four boroughs
that go to make the city has been run full
of lines. Neither a surveyor nor an in
strument. engaged In the work, has been
seen IN the streets, but away up in the
clouds on the tops Of sky-scraper buildings,
high chimneys, church spires and bridge
towers keen eyes trained for the purpose
have been glancing through finely adjusted
instruments and measuring the distances
between what are known as cardinal
points"
This system of surveying is known az
the triangular system, and by il the whole
area to be surveyed is divided into tri-
angles having as their angles the highest
available points In the city.
Because Of the intention OF exhibiting
this map at the Paris Exposition, an unus-
ually large force numbering 800 men, at
tached to the rational typographical de-
partment, Is employed upon II. so that It
may be completed In time. II is estimated
that when finished IL will be fifty-four feet
long by forty-two feet wide.

A CHAT THAT COST $4,000.
1t Took Place Last Week Between a
man in st. Louis and One in Brook

From the New York Sun.
A person in Brooklyn and a person in st.
Louis talked to each other for about fifty
hours last week over the dong distance

conversation was a woman and there is
nothing on record to show whether st.
Louis or Brooklyn had the last word.
More of this talking was done between
the hours of D. m. and a. m, when the
rate between Brooklyn and st. Louis Is IS
