SOME: ,EccENT:R!!c. RAILWAYS. B Jays.
Remarkable Engineering Feats on
Roads In Russia and Peru.

AS the iron track Is bound to force
It's way into most corners Of the world
It is not surprising that some lines OF
railways. exist whichtare striking evil
dence of a singularly boldi conception
carried out in the face Of obstacles
which seemed almost insurmountable.
Sometimes the route of a future line
lies across desert; then the great
law of the compensation of nature"
seems to make itself felt for to bal
ance the saving of time and money
due to the fact that long tunnels will
n,t have to be cut through the hills
Or mountains the engineers are con-
fronted by the total absence Of three
essential elements of construction.
namely, wood, iron and water, which
have to be transported along a newly
laid line as it stretches ITS slow length
across the desert. :assia'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 travcrsed c,nnot boast Of
q single tree for more than TOO miles.
This timber was required for building
the long bridge, two miles in. length,
over The river AmlrDarva. @a's
e This bridge was always the. weak
point in that highly importartnrail-
way, and it has been replaced recently
by stone bridge: Between Merv
and Charjui,. the. line had. te:sbe car
ried over shifting sands ,sixty-four
feet deep. When the work is being
carried out in such regions the trains
become little town on. wheels.
They are composed Ct two-stors
wagons, which contain sleeping gac-
comtodation, butchers stalls. can
teens and forges- AS the TRANSIT
berian railway grew in length it was
resolved by 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. al
I. The romance Of mountain railways
by no means ends with their construc-
tion, and. travelling upon railways at a
very high altitude is :ot thing 20
be desired. The Peruvian line run
ming from Callao to Oroya has two
fold claim to distinction; It Is built
at probably the greatest altitude of
any existing railway, namely, 1906
feet above sea level, and it affords
travellers certainly: the. most unpleas-
ant experience de yoyage"- that can
be imagined. AS the result of: travel
ing at such an altitude, the passen-
gers begin by feeling the great op-
preston, accompanied by. pains in
the head and limbs: these are quick
ly followed by bleeding 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
L are seized with giddiness. others en-.
tertain strange hallucinations.. and
others faint away; the last class be-
come so weak that any undue exertion
on their part often proves fatal. But
this is. not. all that one has to under.
go on the Callao and Oroya line: In
due course the skin becomes irritable
and sores break out, while the lips
swell and then crack. -

Ki.chcn Outfits of sovereirns

There is, fguratively speaking, a
great securing of pots and pans in the
kitchen of the palace at st. Petersburg,
in preparation for the festivities inci;,
dental to the christening Of the latest
addition to the family of the Caar.
The imperial kitchen is fitted up with
great sumptuousness.r The walls and
ceiling are of black marble, richly
decorated. The state cooking utensils
are of solid gold. They date back to
the time of the Empress Catherine and
are estimated to be worth S50,000. Sew
eral of the small saucepans are valued
at $500. No fewer than 267 cooks and
scullions are employed. The chefs
salary is $4,000 year; 10 other, cooks
receive from $4,000 to $4,000 annually.
After the Cars the most luxurious
court in Europe is that of Spain. The
"battrie de cuisine" which is very
ancient, is valued at no less than
100000.
But all this sinks into insignfficante.
in comparison with the kitchen of the
Shah of Persia, at Teheran. There the
very caldrons are of gold, and the
dishes on which lne &iands are borne
to the royal table are of gold, set with
precious stones. The outfit of the
kitchen is said to be worth $4,000 900.
