A recent number of The Railway
Journal contains a story of a railway
ticket which took sudden journey on
Its own account. AS the north-bound
train on the Colorado and Southern
road passed one Of the stations pas
senger In forward car raised a win
dow, and in an instant HIS ticket was
blown from his hands out of doors.
The passenger naturally gave It up for
lost, and was very much surprised
when the baggagemaster handed It to
him little while later. 1t appears
that when the ticket flew through the
window south-bound train was pass
Ing. The suction OF that train, which
was going at rapid rate, drew the
ticket along with it, and as it passed
the rear end of the north-bound train
1t blew into the door Of the smoking
car. There it was found by the bag
gagemaster.

According to writer in the st.

the wonderful development OF Japan

Haruka. She married the emperor
thirty years ago. and, like him, is a

emperor is the 121st in his line. and
the first who has given his wife a
seat at his table and voice in the ma

Sir John Murray recently showed
from other seas and oceans. A surface
current flows continuously from the
Black Sea into the Mediterranean. and
an under current from the Mediter-
ranean into the Black Sea. The lat
ter current Is salt, and. being heavier
than the fresh water above, 1t remains
stagnant at the bottom. Being sat
urated with sulphuretted hydrogen,
this water will not maintain life, and
so the Black Sea contains no living in
habitants below the depth of about 100
fathoms. The deeper wafer when
brought to the surface smells exactly
like rotten eggs.

Guiana, on the Mazaruni River $50

South African diamonds and equal in
quality to those Of Brazil. The pres

the region is not easily reached. The
matrix from which the gems have be-
