stretches its low length across the desert.

stretches It's low length across the desert.
Russia's Trans Caspian railway, now
known as the Central Asian railway, was
built under these conditions; thousands Of
logs of timber were needed and the region
tranversed cannot boast of a single tree for
more than 100 miles. This timber was re-
quired for building the long bridge, two
miles in length, over the river Amu-Darya.
This bridge was always the weak point In
that highly important railway, and it has
been replaced recently by a stone bridge.
Between Merry and Charjul the line had to
be carried over shifting sands sixty-four
feet deep. When the work is being carried
out in such regions the trains become lit
tie town on wheels. They are composed OF
two-storied wagons, which contain sleeping
accommodation, butchers stalls, canteens,
groceries stores and FORCES. AS the Trans
Siberian railway grew in length 1t was re-
solvedsby the authorities that the workmen
should have their own church car" A
wagon was fitted up accordingly as a
church, with a little peal of bells In the
alcove above the entrance.
The romance of mountain railways by
no means ends with their construction, and
travelling upon railways at very high alti-
tude Is not thing to be desired. The Per-
uvian line running from Callao to Aroya
has twofold claim to distinction; 1t Is
built at probably the greatest altitude Of
any existing railway, namely, 5,9OS feet
above the sea level, and 1t affords travellers
certainly the most unpleasant experience
de voyage that can be imagined. AS the
result of travelling at such an altitude the
passengers begin by feeling great oppres-
sion accompanied by pains in the head and
limbs; these are quickly followed by bleed
ing from the nose and mouth, and then by
momentary blindness. 1t is gratifying to
know that there is a certain variety in the
effects produced upon passengers at this
point Thus while some persons are seized
with giddness others entertain strange
Authorizations and others faint away; the
last class becomes so weak that any undue
exertion on their part often proves fatal.
But this is not all that one has to undergo
on the Callao and Oroya line. In due
course the skin becomes irritated and sores
break out, while the lips swell and then
crack

The State University.

Chancellor Fulton, of the University oi
Mississippi, has issued valuable bull
letin giving an outline of the history ol
the institute and the plan of work for
the coming year.
The first session of the University was
held in 1S4S. Fdom 1861 to 1865 the
SESSIONS were interrupted by the civil
war, but in 1865 work was resumed,
and the influence of the University has
steadily grown since that time. At the
last commencement the graduating class
was the largest in the history of the Uni
versity, and excelled by none iii the quail
ity of it's scholarship.
The University has fifteen buildings,
and the property at Oxford, including
the library and other equipment, is
worth over $500, 900. There are $4,000
volumes iii the library.
Chancellor Fulton concludes with an
outline of the courses, general policy, re-
quirements for admission, religious and
social influences, athletics and expenses.
The bulletin is of especial interest to the
students WHO contemplate a course at
the Univertity.-Clarion-Le Ledger.

Read 1t In His Newspaper.

George Schaub, well known German
citizen of New Lebanon, Ohio, is a con
slant reader Of the Dayton Volkszeitung.
He knows that his paper aims to adver-
tise only the best i'll it's columns, and
when he saw Chamberlan's Pain Balm
advertised therein for lame back, he did
not hesitate in buying bottle for his
wife, VITO for eight weeks had suffered
with the most terrible pains in her back
and could get no relief. He says !;
"After using the Pain Balm for few
days my wife said to me, I feel as though
born anew and before using the entire
contents of the bottle the uIfbearable
pains had entirely vanished and she
again took up her household duties. y
He is very thankful and hopes that all
suffering likewise will hear of her Won

In compliance with an order OF the
board Of supervisors their attorneys,
NJ oore & Clark, have filed bill of COM
plaint against the Y. & M. V. R. R. Co.,
as the interest Of the school sections in
townships 2i, % and %, range 5, APP
pear, for the occupancy of right-of-way
and timber cut on the same. The case
has been entered for trial and will have
place on the docket of the ensuing term
of court.
1t may be stated that all demands
made upon the railroad officials and
their attorneys for recognition OF the
rights of these sections in this matter
have met with no response, the railroad
evidently resting its defense on an order
of former board granting them thecon-
ccssions and privileges that they have
since enjoyed. The opinion ofthe boards
attorneys touching this grant, is that
the board exceeded it's functions and pre-
negatives and their action, therefore,
was of TO effect and the railroad is liable
for both occupancy and FOR the timber
cut down and destroyed over the right
ofway.
The amount involved in the suit and
recited by its various Items is $40. 10000,
the larger portion of which is for the TIM
ber cut down and destroyed over the
right of way. The number of various
kinds of valuable trees, 875, is stated for
which the statutory and market price of
$50 each is asked The remainder of the
claim is for use of the land included in
the right-ofway for 1s years at $175
per annum. The amount asked for by
the county is, of course, the maximum
under the law.-Cleveland Enterprise.
