All Cheese 1. Den.eIy Populated.

Professor Adametz, who devoted con-
siderable time to the study of the fra
grant subject. said that the population
of an ordinary cheese when a few
weeks old is greater than the number
OF persons upon the earth.
Professor Adametz made some inter-
esting researches dealing with the mil
mute organisms found in cheese. From
microscopic examination of a soft
variety of Gruyere cheese he obtained
the following statistics: In fifteen
grains of cheese, when perfectly fresh.
from 10000 to 10000 microbes were
found. and when the cheese was sew
enty days old the population had in
creased to 100000 in each fifteen
grains. An examination of a denser
cheese at twenty-five days old proved
it to contain 100000 in each gram
(about fifteen grains) and when forty
five days old 100000 in the same
small particle.

Our miles of railroad track exceed by
more than 10000 all the tracks of Eu-

The Dominion of Canada has granted
$SSSS4,557 and SO. 10, 100 acres of land
to railways.
More than 100000 passengers a
year go through the North Union and
South Union stations in Boston.
In most European railways the prin-
eipal difference between second class
and first class lies in the color of the
seat cushions. first class being usually
red, second class gray.
The average cost OF the body of a
modern long electric car is $1,000, the
average price of set of double trucks
for such a car is 5000, and the average
cost of the motor is 1880, making the
total cost OF the car 81. 100.
Some of the Austrian railways have
followed the German custom of selling
numbered seats in the cars of fast
trains, both first and second class. An
extra charge of from about % to so
cents is made for these seats, according
to distance.
The other day. just as a train was
about to leave Kutas, in Hungary, for
.Palfalva, an official appeared and put
seals ON the wheels of the engine. The
passengers had to get off and walk.
The company was 296 crowns in ar
rears in payment of taxes. Next. day
the taxes were paid. and the train pro-
ceeded.

engaged in repairing injuries to the

Tourists who wish to see the castle

Thence it is only few minutes walk
through a shady lane to the Chateau
des Terreaux, situated on the border Of
the little river which separates Switzer-
land from France. The old building is
highly picturesque. Nothing has been
changed since the celebrated author
wrote the description. At sunset the
mountain is a mass of changing color,
and visitors are subject to spell
