RAILROADS AND CANALS.
Something Worth Noting by the Con-
soIidated Railroad Folk.

During the Is years in which i'm
provements were being made on the
river Elbe, in Bohemia, the river
traffic, as a natural result of the deep
ening of its channels, increased FIVE
fold. But the traffic on the competing
railways increased still more largely,
and the dividends on the main line,
from Teplitz to Aussig, rose to 16 per
cent per annum. Equally interesting
and conclusive are some Illustrations
taken from the experience of Ger
many The canalization of the river
Main from Mayence to Frankfort was
completed in the latter part of the
year 1885. AS result of this i'm
provement, which made the channel
vastly better and deeper than was
before available, the river traffic
showed an increase of Ga per cent in
1887 and further gain of AZ per cent
in 1885,
Frankfort is abundantly supplied
with railroads, having among others
an Independent line on each bank Of
the Main all the way to Mayence.
Did these roads go into bankruptcy
or suffer a serious falling off in their
traffic? On the contrary, their bust
ness increased SO per cent in 1887 and
an additional So per cent in 1888.
The river traffic, which amounted to
only 100000 tons annually before the
improvements were made, had in
creased to 100000 tons in 1891, and to
1,693,112 tons in 1896, while the traffic
by rail. which amounted to $50, 1000
tons in 1886, had risen to 100000
tons in 1891, and to 1,639,229 tons in
1896, being nearly double what it was
10 years before, when the railways
had a practical monopoly of the
freight business of Frankfort.
The first locks at st. Mary's falls
were opened in 1855, in which year
the registered tonnage was LOG, 296
tons. The half million mark was
reached in 1868, and the one-million
mark was passed in 1873. In 1881.
exactly coincident with the opening
OF new and much larger lock, the
Northwest began to grow by leaps
and bounds and the tonnage of the
canal rose from 100000 tons in 1882
to 100000 in 1890 and to 5000 900
in 1896. During the past five years,
two more enormous locks have been
In operation, one Of them on the
Canadian side of the river, and in this
short time the tonnage of the canal
had leaped up to nearly 2S.50O 600
tons. This colossal tonnage is simply
manifestation of the DEVELOPMENT
which has taken place in the North
west, along with which has come the
building of thousands of miles of rail-
road. including two lines from the
head OF Lake Superior to the Pacific
coast. If by some cataclysm of ma
ture the great lakes should be- dried
up, the enormous traffic now carried
on their waters would not be divided
among the Railroads.&c. would simplv
cease to exist. The whole GALAXY of
cities from Buffalo to Chicago and
Duluth would be overwhelmed in
hopeless, irretrievable ruin. and the
railroads could in no wise escape the
general disasters. A. THOMPSON in

CLAM SHELLS ARE USEFUL.
they Make Excellent Buttons and Are
in Great Demand at Factories.

~ 0redt demand at Factories,
Experience has demonstrated that
the opalescent layers of the oyster
shell are not the sole available ma
teriai Tor button-making, as has long
been believed by the trade, and that
clans, mussels and other biyalyes
not to speak of many conches. are of
nearly, it not quite, equal value. The
nrst result of these examinations was
the prompt utilization of other shells
ana a consequent reduction in the
price OF oyster mother-of-pearl and of
buttons made from that substance,

Thus far the best clam discovered
is the pearl clam of the Mississinni
and the other rivers of that rao;on
The sea clans are useful but the ;n-
ner innings are not so lustrous or
ir1descent. The deep-sea clam. with
its rich indigo color. makes a SNOWY
and rather popular button. The soft
ciam, or Rhode Island clam. has often
beautiful play of color upon its
inner surface, but is usually too thin
ana fragile. The hard clans or
conogues vary extensively. A few
nave brilliant interiors; the majority
are very dull.
Inc treatment is about the Same in
all cases. The clam must be gath
ered so as not to injure the shell.

small amount of alkali, either wash

move any grease or dirt held by

ible signs that London is on the eve

decorators have done their work so
thoroughly that the facades Of many

The thrush OF visitors during the past

to be encountered at every turn. The
slump predicted oy the pessimists has
failed TO materialize. Evidently they
had not calculated on the rush OF

more attention to the visitors from
foreign parts. The latter began to ar

SMITH FACTION WINS
OLD THusTHEs OLD SHIP CHURCH EXPELLED.
Pastor is Again at the. Helm and While Old Ship Still Rocks in Rough Sea, Clouds Are
 1rsaking.

A special committee made up of mem- bers of the Old Ship CSurch tried and condemned the Coos trusteeG the old trustees, last night.
 The old trustees were expelled from church membership and thrown into outer darkness. The Smith faction scored its second victory That faction Is now in possession of the church and has banished the Cook trustees from its walls.
 The meeting last night at which Eli jah Cook and his supporters were ban ished was not exactly a harmonious gath erinG The committee which tried the trustees on charges preferred by mem bers of the church was named by Pas tor Smith. The latter had the right to preside over the meeting but in view or the situation he requested the Rev Wat kins to take charge. The accused men were tried in the regular form or the church. Elijah Cook during the trial took occasion to pay his respects to the pastor in q rather warm speech ,but there was no exciting incident.
 The committee after hearing the evi- denee against the men on conduct unbe- coming members of the African Metho- dist Church. deliberated only few min utes before bringing in verdict Of guilty.
 The cases against the men accused of burglary for forcibly entering the church Monday night are set for today In Justice Fuller's court
