EARTH IS GETTING SMALLER.
As Least It's Peoples Are Coming Closer
 Together Every Day.

From the $. Louis Globe-Damocrat One of the wonders of this marvellous age is the rapidity with which ths re- mote quarters of the earth are being brought close together. According to fhe Russian minister of railroad, when RussIas new trans-Siberian railroad Is finished the trip around the world can De made in thirty-three days. When Jules VerEe. just twenty-five years ago. sent the fictitious Phineas Fogg around tne world in eighty days this exploit was deemed to be as nsar the absolutely impossible as at one time Pucks feat was of putting 2 girdle round about the earth fn forty min utes. Two American women travel ing in opposite directions, beat Foggz mythical exploit few years ago. When the Russian railroad IS built, however. the record Of their journeys will in the comparison, seem like the old stage coach and sailing vessel traF- els do today. With what incraduIity would the nayigators Of century ago have looked af the forthcoming Rus sian sirae table. The remnant Of the feet with which Magellan left San Lu- car fn Spain. ia 151a. returned to that port iR 1522. Three years, lacking two weeks were required for the etream- navigation Of the earth. The drst Of the British world circIers. Drake. who sailed haIg a century later, was as long making the distance. Cook. who made the journey 3 century later than Drake was two years ten nontha on the Yog- age. n the century and half be- tween Magellan and Cook tha time Of the world circuit has been shortened il only an inperceptible degree. There had been but little improvement 4n the speed of the ocean vessels since the days when Odyzseas in his shalIop. af- ter the Trojan war, started oa his re turn to Ithica. No improvement of consequence, indeed. was made until the days when steam began to be ap- piled to ocean navigation and that was at such comparatively recent date that on May 24. 15I9. the day on which Victoria was born. the first steamboat which ever crossed the Atlantic start ed, leaving Savannah for Liverpool. and taking twenty-six days to make the voyage. which would now be made h less than six

At Dorchester. Dorset. Engial

At Dorchester, Dorset. England. which has proved 50 rich in ancient Roman relics, another interesting dis covary has just been made. During some excavations on building estate on the confines of the borough, and only few hundred yards from the an eient Roman amphitheater, a splendid specimen Of q villa pavement has been disclosed. Several similar discoveries have been made of late years, but neth- ing 50 fine or well preserved has yet been recorded. The pavement is about two feet below the surface and the de- sign is unusually elaborate. while the colering of the tesserae remains ai- most as fresh as when laid down. The discovery is regarded IS of great fn- portanee. The find will probably be secured for the British museum.

The Tern of Life.

Recent inquiries in England have led to the preparation of tables showing the fsfulf term of life" for man. and other mammals, based upon the thssry that there fs a fixed ratio between the period required to reach maturity and the total length Of life Accident, dis ease and SO forth. have to be eliminat- cd from the calculation According to these tables, only one animal exceeds man in it's full life term, namely, the elephant. For man the theory makes the average term about s0 years, and for the elephant something over 100 years. Next to man. in longevity, come the camel and the Arabian horse, whose term of life $ about . years.

The Tugrtn Fog-Dispeiler.

4 piece Of apparatus known as the Tugrin fog-dispeller has recently been devised to assist in the navigation Of vessels when there is an intense fog. It consists Of a pipe eight feet in length and three inches inside diameter, far ing at the mouth, located near the nav igating officer. By means of a blower a strong stream Of warm air is sent through the pipe and acts to blow a hole through the fog. It is claimed that the moisture is condensed and falls in rain drops, so that the navi- gator is able to see through several hundred feet cf the densest fog.

OYSTER FISHING IN FUTURE.
Submarine Boats Will Make inc Bivalvs
 More 4eeessibIe

More Accessible.
 The submarine boat will revolution .ze the oyster industry. When in Ches- apeake bay cruising the old Argonaut frequently settled down on oyster beds and, with the permission Of the owners. procured all the oysters desired by reaching down through the sea door. The new Argonaut can employ this method of gathering oysters. rising to the surface when her diYing-room Is full, OF send out divers, who can place the oysters collected in buckets or re- ceptacles, which those on the surface can haul up. When bays and rivers are frozen over and oystermen cannot ply their trade the Argonaut can go under the ice. Fishing can also be carried on easily on the bottom with nets. for the fish have 10 fear Of the object they evidently consider Q whale, and swim from every direction toward the glare of the electric lights shining through the ports. Sponge fishing will engage the attention or the frsts suc- eessfuI submarine yoyagers. Good sponges are }eccming dearer. for the supply in sh sfio1 water is running short. The divers cannot go deeper than twenty-five feet. and the best sponges are found in deep water. To this deep water the Argonaut vii go and, gathering the finest sponges, put them on the market at 2 price no great CT than that paid for the common va rieties. She wilI also try pearl fishing. now conducted at an eE0Fmous expense Of life, for by strange freak Of na- ture pearl oysters are generally found ln localities where bad weather pre- vaiIs and hurricanes and typAoens are frequent These the Argonaut, under the water, need not fear. and her div CTS, insead Of gathering up the oysters by the single handful. can gather them by the bushel.-Lippi1cott

The Beautiful Appearance of ths En.
 terior Of Nevada Cavern.


 terior Of Nevada Cavern.
 On the north side of the osgood range of mountains. about four miles east of Eden creek, there is a natural cave Of quite large dimensions. It is in the limestone formation and has the appearance Of an old 8orked-out mire with It's stopes. raises and winzes. ft Is almost impossible to find the entrance. as t is covered with a growth of underbrush. The first thing that a person notices is a small creyice IF the rocks, but as he erawls into the crevice on hands and knees hs finds that 1t widens as he goes down About fifteen feet from the entrance a man can stand uP and walk down the gradual incline. which is at about 50 degrees. At place thirty feet from the mouth there fs q raise some thirty feet high and drift forty feet long. The sight which meets the cave seekers gaze at this point Is most beautiful. On the ceiling large stalac- tites hang in clusters, and the walls are decorated with crystals Of lime in- termingled with drops of water. giving 1t the appearance Of being set with millions of diamonds. Farther down the cave widens until a chamber ia reached which is over sixty feet across and over fifty feet high. There are numerous other passages or eayerns and on the left there is a passage big enough to admit the body, that opens into a second chamber which is about twenty feet across and ten or fifteen feet high. In the main chamber, some twenty feet high, can be seen the open ing Of another chamber, but as there is no timber near to make ladders the upper cavern has not yet been explored. There are. no doubt, other large chambers which could be found were closer exploration to be made, Staiactites and stalagmites can be seen in all directions. Water is dropping continually, and the light of candle shining upon these crystals and drops of water gives the cave a very en- trancing appearance This cave is the home of the wood rat, and there are indications that there might be thou sands of the little animals which make this natural wonder their home.--Win- nemucca Silver State.
