Railroad Through Sahara.

The railroad which France extend.
ed some years ago through western
Algeria, from the seaport of Gran TO
the town of Ain Safra, on the southern
border of that colony, is now being
steadily pushed southWard into the
desert. The road was built to Am
Safra because that town occupies
one of the numerous breaches in the
southern mountain ranges leading to
the Sahara, and Is therefore favorahly
situated for the extension of a rail
road into the desert. Ain Safra is
$50 fee above the sea and lies on
the Saharan slope, its oasis being
watered by 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 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. Until
within few years only a few Euro.

TERRoRs OF SHIP AFlRE 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 Chill, March 81, 1870. The Sun
beam, a full-rigged ship of 76S 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, SUI
perb shipmaster, a 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 10. from
Iquique, Peru, for Tome, Chill, having
on board about 500 tons of nitrate of
soda or saltpeter, a most inflammable
cargo. About noon, March 81. the

plumes flop about in a most ungrace-
full way as the wings are moved and
their bedraggled whiteness is in vivid
contrast to the black or drab plumage.
! There are "a plumes on each wing,
and after the first plucking the plumes
mature every eight months. About
four days after the plumes are clipped
the stumps of the feathers are pulled
out in order not to interfere with the
next growth of feathers. Then the
birds are left until the record shows
it is time for them to be again
plucked. Under the plumes are the
second-quality feathers, known as the
"drabs,'' which are plucked, together
with some tail feathers, which rank
third in value. But the glossy black
body plumage, which to the inexperi,
enced eye looks so fine in contrast 10
the moth-eaten appearance of the legs
that are almost bare of feathers, has
no market value.
Aided by the high import duty in
this country upon the feathers, and
the export duty of $500 upon the birds
of south African ports. the realization
from each bird averages from $50 to
$50 at a plucking, depending upon the
quality and size of the plumes.
The chicks are brought up and
cared for much as is other poultry,
being furnished with shelter during
their tender age. After maturity the
birds are put in the breeding pens or
turned out in the open in droves and
need no shelter in this mild climate,
which more nearly resembles that of
their native home than any other.
That the foreign birds will stand the
climate is shown by the presence of
one monarch of the flock from south
Africa, whose age is estimated at
forty years, and who is yet as vigorous
as ever and produces =. slne plumage
as his younger and native-born
brothers. Although they may be sub
ject to the minor ills of other fowls,
the ostriches rarely sicken, but thrive
on a steady diet of alfalfa, to which
Is added little grain at times. For
this purpose a portion of the section
of land occupied by the farm is titled
and grain crops are raised each sea-
son.
Across from the breeding farm is a
quarter-section of land, upon which
the ostriches are turned out to pasture
| just as a herd of cattle would be.
Here are about 400 of the birds, the
majority of them native born and in
cubator-hatched and showing the good
care they receive Care is taken not
to brighten them into a stampede
which might prove disastrous to the
weaker ones.
So far no attempt has been publicly
made to establish market for fresh
ostrich eggs. From their size il
might be imagined that one would
make a meal for good sized family
The spoiled eggs and those not used
for Matching are blown, and the shells
either plain or decorated, fetch good
prices as souvenirs of the ortrich farm
of Arizona.
