A recent number Of The Railway
Journal contains a story of a railway
ticket which took a sudden journey on
its own account. AS the north bound
train on the Colorado and Southern
road passed one of the stations a pas
senger in a 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 a little while later. 1t appears
that when the ticket flew through the
window a south-bound train was pass
ing. The suction of that train, which
was going at a rapid rate, drew the
ticket along with 1t, 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
igagemaster.

1t is widely supposed that the disease
called appendicitis was unknown to
the medical profession until the last
quarter of the present century. But
an old London doctor, who writes upon
the subject In the Lancet, says there
is nothing new about it, except 'the
name and the treatment" The disease
was well described in the older medical
books, and was then called "typhlitis.'
But its real character was rarely veri-
ned except by post-mortem examina-
ton, whereas modern surgery, with its
anaesthetic and antiseptic aids, If sum-
moned in time, is able to save nearly
every patient who is not exhausted by
age or otherwise depleted.

Sir John Murray recently showed
how remarkably the Black Sea differs
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, it remains
stagnant at the bottom. Being sat
urated with s~ulphuretted hydrogen,
this water will not maintain life, and
so the Black Sea contains no living in
habitants below the depth of about 10C
fathoms. The deeper water when
brought to the surface smells exactly
like rotten eggs.
