THE SIBERIAN RAILWAY.

The last rails have been laid on the
trans-Baikal section OF Russia's greal
Siberian railway. This establishes
complete steam communication be-
tween ST. Petersburg and the extreme
eastern limits of the Russian empire
on the Pacific coast. The section jus.
finished is about 700 miles long. and It
runs from the eastern shores OF Lake
Baikal to Stretensk on the River Shil-
ka, which is a tributary Of the Amur.
Trains are carried across Lake Baikal
by an ice-breaking ferryboat From
Stretensk the river route must be used
to reach Khabarovsk, and thence the
Usuri section OF the railway runs to
Vladivostok. 1t is reported that con-
siderable portions of the sections first
built must be relaid with heavier rails.

CURRENT TOPICS

PUBLISHED WEEKLY.

WILL START NATIONAL BANKS.
Advices received By New York bank
ing interests from small towns and
villages throughout the United States
indicate that state banks in all sec
tons Of the country are preparing to
take out charters under the national
system as soon as the currency bill
becomes a law. II was estimated to-
day that any one with $4,000 capital
could start a national bank under the
new system. All that is required is
s25.0C0 in per cent government
bonds, which could be secured at rul-
ing rates for about $27,750. These,
representing the capital of the bank.
could be sent to Washington, and cir
culation for the full amount OF the
capital Immediately taken out The
organizer of the bank then has $3.50
tied up in the enterprise, but could
take deposits in the regular way.
Whether the system can be properly
safeguarded under such requirements
is not known.

An Inc.nd..oea. Alcoho, L.nn

The Welsbach incandescenlt gas
burner is now pretty well known.
Some attempts have been made to an.
ply the same style of burner to a kero-
sene lamp. Still another use for Il has
been sought by a Frenchman, NJ. De-
nayrouZe. He is one of the leading spir-
its in the introduction and application
Of the incandescent gas and oil light
ing systems, and has lately explained
to the French Society OF Civil Engi-
neers q system Of incandescent light
ing in which alcohol furnishes the
heating flame. While, as is well known.
alcohol under Welsbach mantle pro
duces brilliant flame, it is not an eco
nomical one; but N. Denayrouze's plan
is to charge the alcohol with hydro
carbons, in solutions, to such an ex-
tent that the carbon. in the fame and
deposited on the mantle adds greatly
to the light without causing any in
creased consumption Of alcohol.

UNIQUE HANDWRITING.
Roumanisn's Nervous MaIady Compels
Hin 20 Write Backward.

Roumanisn's Nervous Malady Compela
Him TO Write Backward.
An almost unique case or nervous
disease was investigated at the last
sitting Of the French Academy OF Med
icine. The patient Is a young Rou-
manian, whose malady has been OBJ
served by DR.. Marinesco OF Bucharest
The most curious manifestation OF his
disease takes the shape OF what Is
known among scientists as mirror
writing" which means that the char
acters are written backward, so that
when reflected in a mirror they are to
be read in the ordinary way. DR.. Ma
rinesco had observed that the hands OF
his patient, when unoccupied, were az
fected with a nervous trembling. which
ceased to a great extent when they
were used for a definite purpose. Wish
ing to see what effect this symptom OF
the malady had On the handwriting
DR.. Marinesco asked the patient to
write a few lines from dictation; to
his establishment he found that the en-
tire passage had been written back
ward with absolute accuracy. The ex-
pertinent was repeated several times
with exactly the same result, and II Is,
in fact, impossible for the patient to
write otherwise. When asked to traes
a word with his foot on the ground it.
too. was found to be written backward.
The patient being a Jew. a final ex-
pertinent was made with Hebrew. This
language, as is well known. is al
ways written backward. but the pa
tient. reversing. as usual, the normal
process. can only write 1t from left to
right. Partial cases OF mirror writ
ing have been observed before, but

INDIA.s GREAT FAMINE.

The famine in India now affects a
population Of 100000. Of whom
about 3.75O,0o0 are al eady in receipt
Of relief. The viceroy, at a recent

would spend its last rupee. II neces-
sary, to save life, but intlmated that
India would have to struggle with her
difficulties alone. as the attention OF
all Englishmen was concentrated on
South Africa. Three years ago. when
similar distress prevailed, large con-
tributions were made by Englishmen.
