First European Railway.

The first carriages that ran on rails
I'm Europe were those OF horse rail-
way between Linz and Budwcis, In
Austria. This was I'm working order
I'm 1927. Locomotive railways were
much longer coming. The first line, In
n modern sense, was opened from Paris
TO st. GERMAN In 1895, but railway
development was greatly hlndered by
n terrible accident on the Paris-Ner-
sailles line In 1912. The next was the
Brussels Malines line In Belgium. Bel

followed I'm 1885 and Austria Hungary
I'm 1888. The first great trunk line IN
Europe was from Paris to Rouen,
opened In May, 1913.

the gratitude OF travellers whose un-
fortunate habit or forgetting leads
them to look for things that are miss

are jotted down descriptions OF arti-

large transient business, It In frequent

A "TraRedy."

A Missouri paper gives an account
OF an amusing little tragedy" which
II claims occurred In It's town. A man
and his wife were riding home on
street car. He was reading his paper,
when another lady got on. The car
was crowded, and without glancing up
he arose and gave her his seat, receiv-
ing n gracious smile I'm payment The
mans wife Immediately got up. gave
the bellropc hard Jerk and invited
her husband to get of. When he
looked around to learn the cause Of her
anger, he discovered that the woman
to whom he had given his seat was his
first wife, whom he had divorced two
years before. They walked the rest
of the way home, and he is still cx-

That the country is the place TO &C.

that has been exploded by the United

tofore been advised to go to the hills

lake and river. where there is an unin-
terrupted prospect and the air OF heav-
en- has free sweep. but now this ad-
vice must be changed and the pent up
cities recommended for health. II the
census authorities are right.
According to the official figures the
city has a decided advantage over the
rural districts in the matter OF human
longevity. The average age reached In
the cities IN 3s.2 years and I'm the co,in-
try 31.1. There the urban has an ad-
vantage OF IL years over the suburban.
The advantage Of pure air In the conn'

PRIMITIVE PUMPS.

A representative piece OF mechanism
occurs frequently on the sculptures OF
early Egypt. 1t has the appearance OF
and Is generally believed TO be that OF
n portable pump. The hydraulic screw
Is also attributed TO this people, but
their main reliance seems always To
have been the shadoof, seen every
where along the banks OF the Nile, an
invention so simple md so well adapt
ed to their needs that il remains today
substantially the same at II has been
through all the centuries since history
began.
The same may be said regarding the
chain pump I'm China, an invention the
origin Of which antedates the Christian
era. This simple machine, which seems
never TO have been improved upon, Is
In such common use that every agricul-
tural iaborer is In possession of one.
Where irrigation is conducted on lar
ger scale the chain pump is made pro-
portionately larger and moved by
very simple tread wheel and still lar
ger ones are operated by yoking buff
falo or other animal to Il suitable driv-
ing machine.
The application of steam to raising
water Is of uncertain origin. Long be-
fore the Christian era certain applica-
tlons Of fire to vessels containing wa
ter. by which effects were produced
calculated to astonish ignorant wor-
shippers, were practiced 10y the priests
of Egypt. Greece and Rome, but their
knowledge seems never to have been
