STEEL TIES.

The use of steel ties is constantly ell
gaging the attention to American rail
road men and their popularity seems to
be increasing. According to the infor-
nation supplied to the Railway Re
view by T. A Cory, resident engineer,
steel ties have been in use on the MeX-
lean Southern railway for eight years
over a distance or 141 miles, and so
much satisfaction have they given that
they are about to be adopted for the
entire mileage of 228 miles. The tie
employed is an inverted trough, six
feet long, five inches deep and 81A
inches wide across the bottom. The
rails are so pounds per yard and the,
track gauge is three feet. The metal
ties are nto used on bridges or about
shops and roundhouses. Tar is ap-
piled to them to prevent rusting-
Much has been done in recent years to
preserve wooden ties by injecting into
them substances that prevent decay
and the depredations of worms. The
life of a tie may be thus extended for
many years. But the process is eX-
pensive and ties are becoming scarce,

CHURCHES OF SALT.
Curious Sights in the Polish-Austrian
City Of Williezke

The city of Wllllczke in Polish Aus
tria, which has long been known as
| the City Of Salt, contains some wholly
unique specimens o. church architec-
ture. Its salt mines, excavated for
cover 500 years, cover q vast under
ground area, with streets. public
squares, amusement halls and restau-
rants, railway station, thirty miles
OF underground railway. and chapels
all constructed of blocks OF salt, which
give out a dazzling radiance in the
electric light. A writer thus describes
scene in st. Anthony's chapel. which
was built in 1898 by a nameless I'M.
aided miner out o. masses of salt
and which the writer calls the most re-
markable place of worship in the
world:
several times each year the priests
OF the district nOId services in this IN
foreground chapel, an one service in
particular is annually celebrated on
July with considerable pomp and
earnest devotion. The priests attired
IN fulI robes descenu the mines in
state and are accompanied by hun.
dreds of pious people who tourney
Tor miles from all parts of the country
IN order to take part in the service. 4
crowd OF sightseers, too, attracted by
ceremonies so unique intheir surround
lngs, come specially on this day to view
the mines and reyernntIv 1iC+an III
chants of the priests and the sweet
voices OF the singers reverberate
the empty rooms and passages
IN manner which is both solemn and
impressive.
The queens chapel, the second i'm
portant one, also possesses a magnif-
clent altar which has been carved
with expert skill in solid salt. On the
side OF the chapel, too, has been
with expert skill in solid salt.
On the side of lAe chapel, too, has been
with almost incredible art, a
view of Bethlehem.
1t is rather a curious testimony to
the strong religious feeling of the peo-
pie OF olden times to find to the present
lay the majority of tn rooms and cor
ridors are still named after the saints
and martyrs who have figured in the
history of religion, and even TODAY the
fervor of centuries ago still
seems to retain an influence over the
inhabitants of this unique city of salt"

A FAIRY GRAVE.

Let a little grave be made
Half in shadow, half in shade
In quiet, kindly place,
Friendly as her face
Let the passing fairy bird
From his airy height be heard;
Ever, ever for that ground
Only gentle sound.
Let the singing winds, which be
Winged dream and melody
Singly softly, by her lie,
Softly singing, die.
Let the bee has sucked lie bloom
HomeWard journey by her tomb,
And his 1.-THE OF sweet be paid
To her sweeter shade.
Let the low clouds, red and gold,
-uourn her on the mountains old;
Beauty, aye her guardian be,
You and melody.
Spirits Of sound and souls of flowers
All you dearest griefiess powers,
You with whom she went away,
L end her night and day.

TOLD OF THE SULTAN'S NAVY.

A good story is tolu of a Turkish
man-of-war which was ordered to
Malta. When the captain mad got his
ship clear of the Bosporus it struck
him that it would be as we'll II he knew
where Malta was, for he had not the
slightest idea. So he inquired of a
passing vessel, whose captain offered
to point it out on the chart. But the
Turkish captain preferred to follow a
vessel which he knew was about to
said for that port.
Unfortunately, a fog came on, and
when it cleared off the vessel in front
was no longer the same, though the
captain knew it not. For days he fol-
lowed the ship, and at last reached
port, when; addressing the authorities
that come on board, he said Malta,

THE CAT GAVE THE FIRE ALARM.

At Hazleton, Pa, a cat saved from
death the family of Jacob Kisthardt.
While they slept a fire broke oIt in
the kitchen, and the cat alarmed by
the blaze, dashed upstairs to the bed
room Of Mr.. and Mrs. Kisthardt, where
it cried long and loudly. Mr.. Kist-
hardt was awakened by the persistent
cries of pussy, and smelling the smoke,
went to the kitchen. The flames had
gained much Roadway in the mean
time, and it was only by the united eff
forts of the family that they were ex-
tinguished Kisthardt is miner, and
underneath the kitchen stove were a
munger of sticks Of dynamite and caps
which the flames had nearly reached,
and which would have blown the
building in pieces.

to our University such men as Warren
and Goodwin of Harvard, Seymour
and Perrin of Yale, Gardner and VOL
stein of OXfor- and Cambridge. are of
course not only a great advantage to
our students, but also add to the gen
eral reputation of the University. and
cannot but give a decided impetus to
the course of classical learning. It is

slowly the losses inflicted on the
country by centuries of bad govern
ment. The architectural remains
found in the region between Khar-
toum and Berber and in other parts of
the Eastern Soudan show that a large
population once filled the country.
Peace will give opportunity to rebuild.
but half century will probably be re-
qulred TO counterfeit the effects OF

controlled by native, or Arab, military
