Early Days of RaiIroading.

From the diary of Thomas CreeVey,
who lived in England during the early
part Of last century, the following is
quoted: Lady Wilton sent over yes
terday from Knowsley TO say that the
loco motive machine was TO be upon
the railway at such a place at II
o'clock for the Knowsley party to ride
in if they liked and inviting this house
to be Of the party. So. of course, we
were at our post in three carriages,
and some hOrsemen, at the hour ap-
pointed. 1 had the satisfaction, for
can't call it a pleasure, of taking a trip
OF five miles in it, which we did in
just a quarter of an hour-that is.
twenty miles an hour. AS accuracy
upon this subject was my great object,
I held my watch in my hand at start
ing and all the time; and as it had
second hand 1 knew I could not be de-
ceived: and it so turned out there was
not the difference of a second between
the coachee or conductor and myself.
But observe, during these five miles
the machine was occasionally made to
put itself out or go it, and then we
went at the rate of twenty-three miles
an hour and just with the same ease
as to motion or absence Of friction as
the other normal pace. But the quick
est motion is TO me frightful; il is real
y flying, and it is impossible to divest
yourself Of the notion Of instant death
to all upon the least accident happen
ing."-Chicago News.

The Largest Typewriter.

An English typewriter company once
made a special machine for Ii Hung
Chang. Il was necessary TO construct
a machine much more elaborate than
the ordinary instrument, owing TO the
strange characters Of the Chinese
tongue. and this typewriter was fitted
with 1850 characters. each Of which had
10 be engraved by hand Naturally
this wonderful instrument created a
great impression on being introduced
al Peklng. and il evidently suggested
10 the speculative mind Of the Chinese
the idea Of forming a company for the
sale Of Chinese typewriters. one bold
individual went TO London with the
project. He asserted that it would be
possible TO write a kind Of Chinese
shorthand with as few as 250 charac-
ters (abOut three times the number

Secretary Root Asks for APP
preparation to Be Used in
the Construction of DefenseS

Root has forwarded to the House OF
Representatives through the Treasury
Department, a supplemental estimate
Of $3.50, 100 for the defenses of the in
sular possessions of the United States.
In his request the Secretary says:
"Defenses for Porto Rico, the Ha-
waiian Islands, Guam and the Philip
pines are urgently needed to protect
the newly acquired territory Of the
United States and Government prop
erty to be stored there; also to pre-
vent interruption of cable communica-
tions between San Francisco, the terri
tory of Hawaii and Manila.
This estimate is submitted with the
object OF beginning the construction
of these defenses at once at such in
sular localities as are now the prop
erty Of the United States, or may be-
come so before the appropriation is ex-
hausted, and of acquiring additional
lands needed as sites for defenses of
the territory of Hawaii"
