Nickel steel for Railways 10 Ne Tested
IN Psnssyivaais.
Some thirty or forty years ago a
great revolution took place in the
methods of constructing railways. The
process Of making steel. invented by
Sir Henry Bessemsr. lowered the cost
OF that material 80 far that railway
managers began TO see that II was
economical to use steel instead Of iron
for their rails. or course. steel was
more expensive at the beginning. but II
would last so much longer that II
would more than pay the difference.
An espsrin mt Ia now being tried
which may lead to another important
change In railway practice. although
II may never prove 30 radical an m
provemsnt as the other. The Pennsyl-
vania road Is now preparing to lay
about go tons OF nickel steel rails. The
addition Of small quantities OF other
metal to steel often works marked
changes in Its properties. IL Is not
necessary to remind our readers that
iof httfil y bODIt VI ytetb pooe thN
srmor plate OF the best naval vessels
has been made of nickel steel. This
substance contains only about 3 per
cent OF nicl i. but eve so slight a
proportion adds wonderfully to the
hardness OF the metal. Whether this
quality will make II much more serv-
iceable than ordinary steel for rail-
ways is yet a question. The Pennsyl-
vania road 10 going to test the matter,
and In the nature Of the case II must
require years to obtain a complete and
satisfactory reply. Some partial notion
OF the wearing qualities Of the new
rails will be o~btainable, Of course, in
side OF a few months; but II the rails
prove to be particularly good II will be
necessary to wait a good while for
them to give out. Me- ! steel would
cost apprecisbly more than common
steel. and II Is harder to handle. The
job OF drilling holes for fshplates both
cred the manufacturers OF these new
rails greatly. But II a marked superb
ority is detected. II will pay to use
them in spite of these drawbacks.

A Good Sermon.

Rev. McMannaway, of Fayette,
Mo-, who is conducting revival err
vices at the First Baptist church in
this city, is preaching some most
excellent sermons. The one last
Sunday morning was one of the
very best. 1t was strong, con-
vincing and helpful. His theme
was "The Potency of Christ and
His influence ON the World" AS
compared with all other great men,
Christ lowered above them. Their
influence compared with Christ's
sank into utter nothingness. If
you nave not heard DR.. McManna-
way, you should do so without de-
lay.

THE r POLE.
Three Parties Exploring Among Icebergs
Far North.

Far North.
There have been three parties in tho
field, or more correctly In the ice. dur
ing the summer with the North Pole
as their objective point. The Duke OF
ArbruEzi. whose great work. la Spe-
dizione di s. A. r. II Duca degli Ar
bruzxi al Monte SAINT Ella" (Alaska),
has Just appeared. has planned after a
winter spent In exploration In Franz
Joseph Land to make a dash for the
Pole from that group of islands. As
by this route 500 miles. or 1000 miles
both ways, there and back, have to be
made over ice and snow II is regarded
by Arctic explorers as a most difficult
and perilous undertaking. But as the
Prince has possibly the best equipped
party that ever attempted to reach the
Pole and is, moreover, himself a man
OF splendid physique and indomitable
will he may be successful. Cape
Joseph Henry should be now, II none
Of his arrangements have miscarried,
in Peary's rear. and he should be well

north. Peary has spent three consec-
utive summers in preparing for this
attempt. Last year he devoted to es-
tablishins caches OF provisions as far
north as Cape Joseph Henry, from
which point he intended making his
dash last spring. The Windward sailed
in July on her third trip with supplies,
equipped for a three years cruise, so
that Peary can keep her as long as he
may deem It necessary. The Fran
with Sverdrup was frozen in fifty
miles south of Peary last year, and IL
is somewhat doubtful as to whether he
has no given up the idea of attaining
the pole. Robert e Stein and party
OF two spent the winter In Ellesmere
Land, near Cape Sabine. where he was
left by the Peary relief steamer last
summer. He expected to return this
year, but as the Windward will prob
ably remain north he will have to be
content to stay and will most likely
either make an Independent attempt
or join either Peary or Sverdrup.

A WILD A FARM
whsrs Animals WIN He Raised for
M~snHgeries-

MenAgeriea-
A novel farming scheme Is on foot.
Its object is to raise wild animals In
captivity. so that circus managers may
not have to scour foreign lands to
procure them. Wild animals in trop-
ical countries are fast decreasing in
number. and 1t Is feared that hunting
and the Increase OF population will
loon exterminate them. The idea is
to provide a regular farm for the rails
ing of animals that hitherto have been
procured only from hunters. More
than two years ago a thousand acres
OF land was purchased In Southern
Florida for the carrying out OF tho
scheme. but the whole country round
about was reused to indignation at the
thought that ferocious wild beasts
we're 70 be turned loose In the neigh
borhood. The scheme was consequent
ly abandoned, so far as that location
was concerned, but negotiations were,
entered into for the purchase OF sew
cral small islands not far from the,
Florida coast. The war with Spain
delayed the completion of the pur-
shase. but eventually three Islands
about six thousand acres each were Sc
cured. They are ideally located for
.tn,mnl farms. There is no fear OF tho
teasts crossing over TO the mainland,
and the islands are far enough apart
tn deter the inhabitants OF any one
Island from paying an unwelcome visit
to anctfer. II win thus be easy to
divide the animals into three classes
act ording to their ability to get along
together. and to give each class an ISL
and to Itself. 1t Is said that when the
scheme Is perfected the farms will DO
7s homelike as II is possible to make
them. and that experts will be In
charge OF each. The animals will be
America. and turned loose In their new
homes. Parts OF the Islands are
wooded, and in some there Is thick
u~ndercrowth hat will make a fair
imitation Of a jungle. An animal
hospital is part of the scheme. AL
ready expeditions are being fitted out
to search sor the animals.

QUEER TREES.

An extraordinary phenomenon has
been noticed with regard to the chest
nut trees in the Avenue Louise, Brus-
sells, since the installation of the elec-
trical trans. Their foliage begins to
turn crown and drop early in August,
to bud, and even to blossom, again in
October. The trees on the opposite side
of the tramway behave like ordinary
trees, for they lose their foliage in the
late autumn and do not put forth fresh
blossoms until the spring. Botanists are
inclined to believe that the cause of this
singular state of things is due to the
electrical current which passes UNDER
ground acting o the roots Of the
trees, which are otherwise quite healthy.

I AND CLEVER.

Cordray's theater seems to be particu-
larly fortunate this season in having at
fractions that are house-fillers and not
only that but the class of shows Is decid-
eddy above the average, and last nights
bill was no exception. Old-time min,
strelsy held the boards and Beach &
Bowers bright little company afforded
lots of fun and entertainment. There is
not a dull moment and not a wait be-
tween acts from the Introductory over
ture with it's Elks coloring and setting,
until that smart little terrier, Fox
does his wonderful back somersault in
the last act of the olio. The minstrel boys
are young, active and up to date. and
seem untiring in their efforts to please.
There is the orthodox club-juggler, and
the musical team, with their specialities
upon numerous instruments, but in
Beach & Bowers show the latter is not
only musical, but replete with laughter
provoking absurdities. The remainder OF
the olio is strongly acrobatic, the two
teams of tumblers and knockabout aero
bats being worthy of more thar passing
mention.
In the first part the audience is not
tired by the lengthy minstrel end-nan
stories, as the joke part is all short and
pithy. The singing is ooked after by
Eddie Nixon, in his opening song, MY

Queen Victoria Signs Law for Their
Use in England.

washington, August 31.-Information
mas been received by the interstate com
merce commission hat on July 30 of the
present year the British act for the bet
ter prevention of accidents on railwavs
received the assent of the queen and be-
came a law.
The board of trade. on of the depart-
menfs of the governor. is invested with
extensive power and is charged with the
carrying of the provisions of the safety
appliance law. More authority is given
the. board of trade in this respect than
the United States statute gives the in
terstate commerce commission and in
many respects the English law is con-
sidered much more drastic than ours.
IT after a reasonable time the railway
companies of Great Britain fail to OBJ
viate the dangers by use Of safety ap-
planes, the board will order the use Of
such plants or appliances as it may con-
slider best calculated to reduce the dam
ger OF persons employed. or the disuse of
any plant or appliances shown to involve
dangers. Penalties are provided for nom
compliance with. any rules prescribed by
the board. The ratio of lives lost to the
number of men employed in coupling and
uncoupling cars is not less than one to
three hundred. This per centage, as is
shown by the reports of the Interstate
commission Is great as existed in this
country in 1893. where at present the ra-
ito has been reduced to one man killed
out of six hundred engaged in coupling
and ~uncoupling. cars.
1t is believed that the action of the
United States government m the matter
Of safety appliances has been largely in
strumental in bringing about the enact
ment Of the British law.
