According to the latest advices the
Cape to Cairo railway has been sur
veyed as far as the Zambesi, where a
great steel bridge, having one span of
five hundred feet, will carry the line
across the river at Victoria Falls. The
whole section, from Buluwayo to the
Zambesi-two hundred and seventy-five
miles in length, or nearly seventeen
hundred miles from Cape Town-is
expected to be opened next year. Loco
motives for contractors purposes are
now running on is for short distance
north of the present terminus, and a
railway exploration party has been dis
patched over the railway route beyond
Victoria Falls as far as Tanganyika.
For forty miles north of Buluwayo
the earthworks are more or less COM
plete, bridging work on the Victoria
Falls section is in progress, and about
five miles of line are finished The
work of connecting the Buluwayu and
Salisbury sections is also proceeding
rapidly, and rails have already been
laid from Salisbury to Sebakwe, a dis
lance of sixty miles From the Bulu-
wayo end of this line the railhead has
reached the Arguza River, so that when
this gap is filled in and the line com
pleted, as is expected by the end of the
present year, trains will be able to run
from Cape Town to Delagoa Bay, via
Buluwayo, Salisbury and Umtali.

bONeT lnucA,
Proposals we're received this week for
10 new stations which are to be erected
this season. Every station on the Della
ware Bay branch between Clayton and
Chestertown, is to have new building,
including the latter place also. The
double tracks are being extended be-
tween Townsend and Clayton, FELTON,
and Viola and Laurel and Delmar, and
will soon be completed. This will
nearly double track the entire division
If rumors now prevalent in railroad
circles prove true, the train service
over the New York, Philadelphia &
Norfolk railroad will be largely in
creased in the near future. 1t is said
that the Chesapeake & Ohio freight
trains, which run through Wilmington
yer the p, W. & B. railroad, may
change their route. They now run over
the main line, by way of Baltimore,
but there is an intimation that they
may shortly be run over the N. v, p.
& n. and Delaware Railroads. 1t is
said by running them over the PENN
sula route there would be saving of
several hours, which is an important
item This would add at least 10 re-
frigerator and fast freight trains to
pass over the Delaware road daily.

body need not suffer as q consequence.
In this country there are about
25, 600, 600 wage earners, drawing a bout
s25, 900, 900 daily. OF this fully three
fourths is spent in the purchase and
preparation of food. 1t is therefore
Important that there should be more
widespread intelligence upon the sub
ject of foods and food economics.
The housewife should have enough
knowledge of the composition and
nutritive qualities of food to know
whether boiled cabbage is more or less
nutritious than boiled rice, or bananas
than dates, and to answer other simple
but practical questions such as these.
In fact she should go further and be
able to calculate diataries with diff
ferent combinations of food which will
yield the necessary energy units each
day. A very little study will soon con-
vince her that the operations of the
kitchen are all eminently scientific and
full of interest from the intellectual
standpoint. Frederick D. Chester.

TORNADO IN IOWA.
Property Valued at 100000 Demolished
at Bayard.

Property Valued at seo,O 900 Demolished
Mt Bayard
Des Moines, Ia, May 1.-The tornado
which struck Bayard, 30 miles north
west of here, last night, demolished
property to the value of $40, 900. The
storms path was 100 yards in width,
and over dozen houses were badly
damaged. The Chicago, Milwaukee &
st. Paul depot was destroyed, and two
large elevators standing alongside the
Milwaukee tracks were unroofed.
At Coon Rapids, 10 miles west, there
was no wind. The storm seemed to
swoop down on Bayard, where it spent
Its force. There are no reports of
damage east of that place.
David Hardin was caught in the
path of the storm, and 10 minutes after
it had passed was found hanging to a
tree. He was unconscious all night,
and this morning could not recall what
had happened to him. 1t is thought
that he was struck with flying debris.
Eye witnesses say that the tornado
did not occupy more than one minute
in passing through the town.
At Rippey, Green county, 10 miles
from Baysrd, the schoolhouse and
three barns were destroyed
