Railroad THROUGH Sahara.

The railroad which France extend
ed some years ago through western
Algeria, from the seaport of Dram to
the town of Ain Safra, on the southern
border of that colony, is now being
steadily pushed southwark into the
desert. The road was built to Ain
Sara because that town occupies
one of the numerous breaches in the
southern mountain ranges leading to
the Sahara, and is therefore favorably
situated for the extension of a rail
road into the desert. Ain Safra is
$3.50 fee above the sea and lies on
the Saharan slope, it's oasis being
Watered by a perennial stream, which
flows east to the Wady Namus, whose
waters flow straight south into the
Sahara.
The railroad, therefore, has been
pushed eastward along the valley OF
thes tream that gives life o Ain Safra
having reached the Wady Namus
track-laying has ben extended south
ward through its valley Stations
have been established at the Arab
towns of Tut, Moghrar and Djemen
bou Resg. where all trains stop. Six
more stations will be established
along the route.
The road is to push some hundreds
OF miles southwest to the oasis OF
Tuat, which is now in the possession
OF the French. Several post Offices
have already been established in the
oasis on the way to Tuat. Unit
within a few years only a few Euro
pean travellers had penetrated to this
isolated Mohammedan community
The natives raise good crops Of wheat
barley, cotton and other articles which
they require, including an abundant
| supply of vegetables. France is thus
using the new railrc I'D to establish its
influence i'll rart of the northern Sa
hara to which. five years ago. scarce
ly az European influence had pene
trated.-New York Sun

And then, the quarter-boat! 1t
would defy human skill to build fires
and burn the falls and gripes, the
four distinct fastenings of the boat
so simultaneously that the boat should
strike the water on an even keel.
And then to time the fall of the boat
and sweep her into position under the
ships stern precisely as needed by
the man leaping from the flames, who
alone of the ships crew was in a po-
sition to secure the boat!
We can family imagine the thrill in
the heart of the sailor boy, who as
he stepped into dry suit on board the
Morgan, drew from the pocket of his
trousers a coin bearing the inscription,
In God We trust.-Sea Breeze.

TERRoRs OF SHIP AFIRE AT SEA
The Remarkable Instance of the Bos.
ton Ship Sunbeam.


One of the most remarkable in
stances of a ship on fire at sea was
that Of the Boston ship Sunbeam, Capt
John Chadwick, which was burned in
the south Pacific, 80 miles off the coast
of Chilli, March 81, 1870. The Sun.
beam, a full-rigged ship of 1853 tons
burden, owned by Hemmenway &
Browne, was built in Chelsea, in 1865
On her last voyage, she was in com
mand of Capt. John Chadwick, a SUI
perb shipmaster, native of Exeter
N. H., who had followed the sea since
1889, and was in the employ of the
Hemmenways from 1854 to the time of
his death in 1885.
The ship sailed, March 13, from
-Iquique, Peru, for Tome, Chill, having
on board about 900 tons of nitrate of
soda or saltpeter, most inflammable
cargo. About noon, March 81, the
second mate as ordered to sweep and
varnlsh the main deck. In a very
few minutes an explosion was felt, and
the startling cry of Fire! Fret" I'M
mediately followed A lighted candle

The Suns Heat,

Sir Robert Ball has calculated the
heat which the sun has yielded in con
tracing to it's present form. II
amounts to as much as 3,400 globes
of coal, each as heavy as the sur
would give out. Now, as the sun is
about $4,000 miles in diameter. 3,40O
such globes would stretch from where
the sun now is 1902 100000 of miles
into space, which would be far out
side the orbit of Saturn. But that is
not ALL, for there is still enough heat
in the sun to warm the earth for
millions of years. Thus big as the
sun is, it is an economical warming
apparatus. 1t only needs to shrink IL
inches per day to give out all the
heat we need, not to mention thous-
ands of times as much. scattered in
space
