Australian Mails Record Trip.

The most important mail that has left
Australia in years for London recently made
a record breaking trip. The mail consisted
of 347 sacks and contained many documents
for the British parliament. At Sidney it
was put on board the steamer Ventura, a
steamship sailing under the American flag
and built only last year for the Oceanic
Steamship company at the Cramps ship
yard in Philadelphia. The trip across the
Pacific occupied just 81 days, the former
time having been 20 days From San Fran
cisco the mail was hurried east on special
fast trains on the Southern Pacific Ogden
line), Union Pacific, and Chicago, Burling-
ton and Quincy railroads, but arrived in
Chicago too late to connect with the fast
mail train of the Lake Shore and New York
Central, which is 24-hour train from Chi
cago to New York. A special train was made
up and attached to one of the fastest en-
gines on the Lake Shore line. The regular
train was overtaken at Toledo, and the hour
and half lost time was made up. At Buff
falo the regular train was made into two
sections by the New York Central with the
mail cars, including the Australian mail, in
the first section. New York was reached
three minutes ahead of schedule time. At
New York the mail was delivered to the
Campania and that vessel left on regular
time. Barring accidents or unusual delays
it will be delivered in England in several
days shorter time than ever before.

THEY CLAIM 1T is CRUSHED.
Colombian Diplomats mt Washington
Assert that the EnSurrection Is Prac-
IkPaIIy Dead.

Washington. Sept. 10.-The Co
lombian legation officials last night
expressed the view that the Colom-
biaa insurrection was practically
crushed. In support of this state
.ment they said that the insurgents
did not hold a single village in all
Colombia, although some bands of
marauders were giving trouble, and
that those on whom the rebel forces
had counted for allies were unlikely
to give further material aid.
Curacao press advices to the lega-
ton alleges that many of President
Castro's supporters in the interior of
Venezuela are protesting against his
anti-Colombian aggressiveness. Ac-
cording to the legation, the defeat of
a Nicaraguan force recently will
likely stop further hostile move
ments from that quarter. Members
of the legation say they understand
that the Nicaraguan government has
given assurance to the American
minister that it would not wage war
on Colombia.
President Plaza. of Ecuador, who
has recently assumed office, has fre-
quently pledged neutrality toward
Colombia The Colombian minister,
DR.. Silva. says that reports he has
just received say that the Colombian
troops under arms numbered $4,000
last July and that the force since has
been considerably augmented.

BIG RAILROAD IMPROVEMENT.

a unique excursion was recently arranged
by the Union Pacific Railroad company.
About sixty newspaper men, represe-tlng
the leading journals of the country, were
invited to take trip on the Wyoming d.
vision, "The Overland Route" for the pur-
pose Of viewing the stupendous engineering
achievements recently made on that line.
The train was made up of two private
cars, three Pullman palace sleepers, dining
car, drawn by one of the new compound en-
gines, with an observation car-constructed
on the same plan as trolley car-ahead OF
the engine.
One hundred and ffty-eight and four
tenths miles of new track laid, reducing the
mileage between Omaha and Ogden by 30.4!
miles, and reducing gradients which varied
from 45.4 to 97.6S feet TO the mile to maxi
mum of 1873 feet and curves from to de-
grees, while great deal of bad curvature
has been eliminated entirely.
A mountain removed and lost into
ehasm; huge holes bored hundreds OF feet
through solid granite, an underground river
encountered and overcome; an army of men,
with all sorts of mechanical aids engaged
in the work for nearly year; the great
Union Pacific track between Omaha and
Ogden made shorter, heavy grades elimi-
mated, and the business of the great Over
land route flowing through a new channel,
without the slightest interruption.
Millions of money have been spent to re-
This reduction is the result of straghten-
ing unnecessary curves, and the construc-
tion cf several cutoffs between Buford and
Bear river, Utah
The curvature saved is about one-half,
the grading about the came, while the angles
are reduced nearly two-thirds. The SUI
periority of these changes is apparent to the
prat teal railroad engineer. 1t is also ap-
parent to the operating department in the
reduction in operating expenses, and to the
Traveller in the increased speed the trains
can make.
The new line runs due west from Buford,
avoiding the high hills and eghty-foot grade
from Cheyenne, and piercing through cuts
and the big tunnel, crosses the Black Hills
at grade of less than one-half (43.3 feet)
over mountain attitudes.
From constructive standpoint the line
is remarkable for the amount of material
required in the construction of immense
embankments and the building of large
tunnels through solid rock. The construc-
ton of the new line between Buford and
Laramie alone has involved the excavation
of 100000 cubic yards of material, one-third
of which Exclusive of the tunnel excava-
tom has been solid rock, of something over
100, 900 cubic yards per mile.
Too much credit for this work cannot be
given to Horace G. Burt, president of the
Union Pacific railroad, and his assistants.
The excursion was replete with many in
terestng incidents, and the splendid hos
pitalty of the Union Pacific officials was
revelation. The newspaper men evinced
their appreciation in many ways, particu-
larly in resolution of thanks to the Union
Pacific officials, General Passenger Agent
Iomax, and Messrs. Darlow, Park and
Griffin

a MCKINLEY ARCH.
Chicagoans Stnrt Movement for
Building a Memorial Structure In
WashinotOn.

Chicago, Sept. 17.-At an informal
meeting yesterday of 100 prominent
citizens of Chicago a proposition to
start a movement for the erection of
magnificent memorial arch for
President Mckinley at Washington,
was made by Alexander II. Revell.
The suggestion was universally APP
proved. Several gentlemen spoke
upon the matter. The proposition
was that the president of the United
Safes be requesed to appoint a com
mittee of citizens who shall take
charge of the collection of a public
fund for the purpose of building such
IN arch at Washington.
1t is further proposed that in the
event of favorable action by President
Roosevelt, such men as the president,
eX-President Cleveland and William
]. Bryan become honorary presidents
and Lyman j. Gage, ex-Secretary
Cornelius n. Bliss, John J. Mitchell
and others become treasurers; also
that the governors aud mayors of the
various states and cities act as local
receivers of contributions from the
public.

Prior to the year 1891 the ship.

Prior to the year 1891 the ship

amounting in that
year to only 30,0OO,O0O bushels, of the
value of S17000,000, in total exports of
$9O0,00o,000. Since the great increase
in the foreign commerce of the Unit
rd States, says an official report, there
has been an extensive and almost
phenomenal increase in the foreign
market for American corn. The fig-
nres for the three fiscal years are:
1899, l74,0s9,4SS bushels; 1900, 209,-
34S,2s4 bushels; 1901 (to date). H.
S17,965 bushels. The value of the eX-
ports of American corn to foreign
countries was $50 100000 last year,
and the shipments We're SO,OOOO0O

European countries, 1O,G5O,OOO BUSH
American provinces; 100000 bushels
TO Mexico, 100000 bushels TO Cuba
tthe exports of American corn to
tuoa have almost triped in three
years., $4,000 bushels to Africa, 1885,
900 bushels to the West Indian islands
exclusive of Cuba and Porto Rico),
and the balance to Central American
and South American states and to
Asia. There is practically little eX-
portation of American corn to either
South America or Australia, but 9TH
er countries are steadily increasing
their demand for this important
American cereal, which is as distinct
lively an agricultural product of the
United States as is cotton. Various
reasons have been assigned from time
to time by persons claiming famil-
iarity with the subject to explain why
american corn is not popular
abroad" but the prosaic fact is that
it is not only very popular, but is in
creasing in amount each year, the
number of countries which furnish
markets for American corn being
larger each year. In the month of
June, 1901, the shipments of American
corn footed up nearly 100000 BUSH
els, of which 100000 went to Ger
many.

Some conclusions as to the law OF
genius are derived for the Popular
Science Monthly by
Mr.. Havelock Ellis
from the study of
s59 men and 43 women of note in
Britain. They may be thus summar-
lied: THE upper and middle classes
are rich in geniuses. The country
and small towns produce genius more
often than cities, and the clergy ia
ther the most distinguished children.
Geniuses tend to come of large fam
lilies, to be the children of elderly
parents, to be precocious, feeble in
health in early life, but fairly long
lived. They have usually excellent
education; a large proportion travel
extensively in early years. There is
among geniuses tendency to re-
main unmarried. to marry late in life
or to contract sterile marriages. Per-
sons of unusual intellect are often
subject to gout, asthma or angina
pectoris (nervous diseases), to stam-
mering, melancholy or insanity" Mr..
Ellis finds that men of one gift are so
frequently lacking in all other gifts
that they are more nearly allied to
the idiotic than to the insane. In
sanity, observes the New York World,
is not so much condition of genius
as it's frequent penalty. An inher-
itance favorable to genius is cited in
the case of William Morris. who re-
ceived from his mother a strong con-
stitution, from his father nervous,
equity strain. "The mistake usually
made" says Mr.. Ellis, is to eXag-
gerate the insane character of such
a Preventative element, and at the
same time to ignore the element Of
sane and robust yigor which is equal
ly essential to any high degree of
genius
