ST. Louis & North Arkansas X. r.

Messrs. Brewster & Henslee, the
construction contractors on the Eu-
reka Extension for the fifteen miles
which reach to Harrison from the
westward, were callers at the TIMES
office last Saturday. They have a
force of over one hundred men at
work on the west end of their Sec
ton, and hope to complete the quar-
ter-mile cut at the head of Shipman
hollow within the next sixty days.
This is their heaviest piece of work,
but will be ready for track laying
before the contractors beyond reach
them. The balance Of their grading
will be done very rapidly. From
parties passing over the line we learn
that operations are in the hands of
sub-contractors at a dozen places
along the line between here and Eu-
reka, and that forces are being III
creased and work being pushed more
and more every day.

The Railroad Win Not Be Built Via Ber-
ryvllle.

1t was mutually agreed Saturday
between the officials OF the St. Louis
! & North Arkansas railroad and the
neople..1cf Berryville to abandon
the attempts to run the new road
through that baisy little city and
both parties have RETAINED TO the
original proposition for the TJ,ssa IL
miss the town, by about three miles
at the nearest point, and for the Ber-
ryville people to have control of the
station wherever it may be located.
Most of the people from the county
seat who have been spoken TO in re-
gard to the matter are in favor OF
this last move, claiming that the
amount asked was really more than
they were able to pay, and that by
their building a good turnpike road
to the station on the railroad they
will be in nearly as good a position
as if the road was built through the
town. Chief Engineer Lee is out to-
day looking over the original survey
to ascertain the best place for sta
ton to be made that will be of the
most benefit to Berryville. The con-
tract was let this morning Tor the
grading Of the right-of-way from
near Kings river to the Duncan
mountain, and work viii com.

witch. Hazel.

According to Meehan's Monthly, the
correct name for Hamamelis Virginica
is not witch hazel, but wych hazel. Our
plant has no connection with the magic
of the water hunter. The blackthorn
Of England, Prunus Spinosa, was the
wood used in these divinations. or
whatever these superstitious practices
may be termed. Hazel had n very wide
meaning in the olden times, and the
elm, as we'll as the nut now known as
such, was hazel. One Of these Gins.
now known as Ulumus Montana, was
the favorlte wood for making wyches.
or provision chests, and was therefore
known as the wych hazel. In the pres
ent day it is the wych elm. Our Ham.
mamelis received from the early set.
tiers the name of wych hazel from the
resemblance of the leaves to those Of
the wych hazel or elm of the old world
Language reformers imagining that
wych should be spelled witch are re.
sponsible for the confusion. Wych
hazel is the correct term for our plant.

Reindeer as Racers.

The popularity of horse racing in
Russia is seriously threatened by the
introduction of the reindeer as the ri
val of the horse, says the Golden Pen
ny. The reindeer is among the swift
est Of quadrupeds and can outstrip the
swiftest of horses. 1t is estimated that
he could give the fieetest Derby winner
a start of half n mile and beat him eas.
lily over the Derby race course, while
for a short distance he reaches a speed
of sixty miles an hour. A st. Peters
burg merchant has constructed a spe-
cial course for this new sport, and the
novel excitement is looked forward to
with great eagerness by sport-loving
Russians. 1t is expected that before
long reindeer will be hnrnessed to
sleighs and that most exhilarating of
pastimes made more exciting still.

Some years ago the villagers in a
town near the southern coast of Spain
We're surprised by Il sudden shower of
white wheat, which seemed to come
from the heavens rs rain does. There
We're so many witnesses to tell of the
strange occurrence that there could be
no doubt of the accuracy of the story.
Some months elapsed before the re-
markable phenomenon was explained.
1t was learned mt last that some farm
ers near the northern coast of Moroc-
co had been thrashing wheat with fails
when suddenly a tornado swept over
the ground and carried all the wheat
and chatf on the thrashing-cloth into
the air. The cloth was swept clean,
though the windstorm was not suf-
ficiently violent to do any damage to
the wOrkmen. who fell to the ground
and saw to their dismay when the
storm had passed that the result of
their labor had disappeared in the air.
There seemed to be no doubt that the
fall of wheat in Spain was the result
Of the shabby trick the tornado played
the Moroccan farmers, the grain hav-
ing been waited clear across the
Mediterranean before it was dropped
to the earth.
n somewhat similar phenomenon has
recently been observed further east of
the Mediterranean region. A steamer
was on her way along the North At
rican coast from Asia to England and
had entered the Galita channel be-
tween the island of that name and the
coast of Tunis when a fine dust began
to darken the air and Immediately
thereafter fell upon the vessels deck.
Quantities of the dust were collected
and later submitted to a chemical an
alysis in Europe. About q third of the
dust consisted Of rock particles con-
tanning calcium, magnesium and iron,
proving, what the prevailing wind had
already indicated, that the dust had
been carried high into the air from the
Sahara desert, passing vcr the whole
of Tunis and finally dropping in the
Mediterranean.
Another curious occurrence of the
same sort occurred in Hungary in 1896,
when there was a fall of dust which
analysis proved to be identical with
the sediment of the Nile. The dust was
declared to have been brought on the
wings of the wind all the way from
Egypt. These incidents show how the
atmosphere helps to change the aspect
Of the earth's surface by removing
small particles Of matter from one re.
gion and depositing then in another
New York Sun.
