Another Great Railroad.
From the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune.
Transcontinental railroads seem to be the
order Of the day The United States wass
of course, first with such an enterprise, and
is still easily first in the number and i'm
portance of such roads. Canada came
second and still maintains that rank. Now
Russia has practically completed one across
the Eurasian continent, which promises
one day to be Of great industrial as well
as Of strategic Importance. The Argentine
Chilean road across South America will
some time rank among the great lines OF
the world, though 1t Is not so long as these
others. Cecil Rhodes enterprise, of rail-
road not across but from end to end of
Africa, is being pushed to completion with
characteristic British energy. Latest but
by no means least interesting, is the rail-
road across Australia. The latter IL not
national but state undertaking. 1t is
the work Of the state of South Australia,
which is distinguished among the members

from south to north, from the Great Aus
tralian Blight to the Gulf Of Carpentaria
and the Arafura Sea. AS in the case of the
North American, Eurasian and African
continents, the telegraph has been the pre-
cursor of the railroad, and for years there
has been q stretch of wires across Aus

next The four other countries that have
most wealth per capita are Australia,
France, the United States and Denmark.
In 1895 the wealth per capita in the fol-
lowing countries was: England, 81, 5S4;
Scotland, $1,257; Australia, 81 ,22S; France,
$1,210; United States, $1,123; Denmark,

Among the great nations the percentage of
debt to wealth Is lowest in the United
States, being less than 1 per cent. while
that of France is the highest, over II per
cent. After England and Scotland Aus
tralia is the richest country in the world
in proportion to it's population. Mulhall
figured it's wealth per capita in 1895 as
81, 229. He reckoned the total annual earn
ings of the seven colonies INCLUDING New
Zealand) at 81 O32, 100000, or an average of
$245 per capita, against $211 per capita in
the United States and $173 in Canada In
proportion to it's population the value of
manufactured articles in Australia is
greater than in any other country in the
world. The total production in primary In

The Splitting Practice.
From the Milwaukee Wisconsin.

The ethics of splitting have undergone a
change. due in large part to the crowding
of population and the altered conditions of
living. In sparse population people may
spit as they please and give no offense. In
rude civilization they may do the same.
Refinement and crowding have introduced
new conditions. In the eighteenth century
Lord Chesterfield was almost the only
writer who decried splitting in company an
a breach of good manners. A recent essay
list, treating of the habits of life a hundred
years ago. says
Quarrels between the boxes and the pit
in the theaters were by no means uncom-
mon and the people in the boxes sometimes
spat down on the heads of the crowd below.
In this country two generations ago,
splitting was a national vice which incurred
the opprobrium of European travellers like
Mrs. Trollope and Charles Dickens. 1t lin
gered later than that. and the men who
lived in camp four years during the civil
war had some excuse for falling into the
bad habit. Tradition relates of the gallant
Phil Sheridan that Chicago hotelkeeper,
who felt complimented by his patronage
and gave him the best room in his hosiery,
was aghast after he had left, at finding
that the hero, while lying in bed had spit
promiscuously, to the ruination of the cost
ly wall paper. 1t was habit that the cav
airy leader had acquired in camp. But
there is no excuse for such barbarous prac-
tees in times Of peace.

How a Snake Moves.

From st. Nicholas Magazine.
Now, any one who has looked at the
skeleton of a snake-and it is really AVERY
beautiful object-will have been struck by
the great number of ribs. which may be as
many as ten hundred and fifty pairs. In
these lies the secret of the ability of the
serpent to do some Of these wonderful
things. The lower end Of each rib is con-
nected with one of the broad scales that
run along the under side of a snake, and
when a rib is twisted slowly backward, 1t
pushes on the scale, the edge of the scale
catches on the ground. or whatever object
his snakeship may be resting on and the
body of the snake Is pushed just little bit
forward. OF course, each rib moves the
body but mere trifie. but where the ribs
are so many, the result is that the snake
moves slowly but steadily ahead.

HOW TO SERVE SHAD.
An Epicure Would Have the Fish
Without Bones
From the Chicago Chronicle.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
From the sea to fresh water the anadro-
nous clupea has made its annual passage
and northern tables are supplies with the
most delicious of fish food. Horace in "Odi
Profanum" must have had the shad in
mind for they are the most voluntary of
all creatures which offer themselves up to
man.
The finny race behold the newborn land.
Anna zed see towers arise and fields expand.
These be the days when the culinary col
umns counsel with the cook as to fish GRO
quette and escallope, for roast and broil,
plank boil and fry, but to Sydney Smith,
lucid and sunny pious and generous, man
kind in the kitchen and the refectory must
go for the right way to serve shad The
witty clark as he was called by his con-
temporaries in wig and ruffles, yearne1 on a
well-remembered occasion to get rid of his
flesh and sit in his bones. Unlike the Lord
Hamlet's the Satiric patriots adipose was
not so solid as to require melting. but phi
losophy in all ages has rejoiced in being
cool
The main thing as to shad is to divorce
it's bones from it's flesh. In proportion to
its edibility the shad has more bones than
rightly belong to any esculent creature.
According to the evolutionist. however, the
bones and flesh of the shad are only trans
iently joined together and may be put
asunder without violence to the moral law.
Neither chef nor caterer neither monger
nor gourmet has yet devised an instrument
by which the shad may be boned beyond
danger to the CLOTHS of the superior race.
Our undefiled but mystifying English bones
a doublet by putting bones in. and bones a
shad by separating the osseous tissue from
the softer solids of muscle and fat.
By current processes the boniness of the
shad may be reduced to the tenuous degree
and the invisible without the microscope.
yet still will shad bones lag superfluous,
bones as delicate as the last linear vestige
of the wonderful fossil fish Of the upper
strata of the Wyoming, which are often
mistaken under glass for Japanese etch-
ings. Father Prout in his Apology for
Lent dwells sagely upon the fact that
light food and spare diet is characteristic
of the Celts. but II roast beef and plum
pudding be promotive of courage, as 9TH
ers claim. the effect must be due to their
freedom from bones. Detachable as shad il
under all forms Of preparation, there is only
one way to serve shad and that 10 without
bones.

"TREELESS" KANSAS.
Prairie Regions Of the State to Be
Studied This Summer.

Western Kansas north of the Arkansas
river and west of line drawn from Os-
borne through Russell to Larned, will re-
ceive the particular attention of the
bureau of forestry this summer. A. study
of the tree growth of that region will be-
gin this month under the direction Of r. s.
Kellogg of Russell, Kan, an agent for the
bureau, and will be continued until fall. In
this part of the state the tiuber penetrates
the prairies by way of the river bottoms,
clinging closely to these moist lands and
advancing only occasionally to the up
lands.
The bureau will study the tendency of
the trees and shrubs along the water
courses to increase and spread, especially
when protected from fire and stock, and
will determine what species are best
adapted to planting on those uplands that
contain no natural growth.
In many places along the streams where
or fifteen years are found thrifty young
cottonwoOds, white eIms, box-elders and
other species which are slowly invading
the great plains.
The low rainfall of western Kansas is
not alone responsible for the scarcity Of
timber. The pine ridge country of Ne
braSka grows forests with only sixteen
inches of rain year, while the treeless re-
gtons Of western Kansas have precipita-
ton of sixteen to twenty inches.
Failure in tree planting. aside fran nat
ural causes, such as high winds and in

Of care in planting and cultivating and
lack of knowledge Of what kinds of
trees to plant.
Such failures have had an excellent re-
sult-they have given fairly good knowl-
edge of what to and what not to plant

those that are not. 1t Is partly to increase
this knowledge that the bureau has I'M

POLICE GO ON STRIKE, TOO.
Glens Falls Force Refuses to Assist 4
Quelling Mob Violence.

A dispatch to the New York Tribune from
Glens Falls, N. Y, yesterday says: The
spectacle was presented here today of a
police force refusing to suppress a mob Of
disorderly strikers. A crowd of about 500
striking employees of the weil-Haskell Shirt
Company assembled at the factory to pre-
vent large number of employees who had
refused to strike from going to work. One
of the superintendent. Albert Silverman,
who was trying to escort two girls through
the mob, drew a revolver and succeeded in
getting them inside.
The crowd reached serious proportions,
and the single policeman who was on duty
could do nothing. The company called on
the police for assistance, ana the entire
force, with the exception OF onavofficer, who
was already on guard. refused to do patrol
duty at the factory. ''' =
When the village administration changed
a couple of weeks ago thesentipe force, with
one exception, were dismissed, and their
terms expire on Saturday at midnight. VII

TAKES ISSUE WITH BOARD.
Findings in Police Case Disapproved
by Maj. Sylvester.

The trial papers in the case of Private J.
w. Garnett of the police force, charged
with neglect of duty and conduct unbeconl-
ing an officer have reached the Commits
sioners The finding was not guilty. Major
sylvester states in his Endorsement that
he cannot fully understand the finding Of
the trial board in this case, the members
being of the belief that the officer was
guilty OF both specifications except as to a
part of one, and that he is not guilty of
the charge.
Il find" says Major Sylvester, that the
officer Is guilty Of the charges and specifica-
tons, and 1 recommend that he be fined
$40 and warned that hereafter he must see
that his watch is kept in running order and
THAT he does not report Off duty with the
fumes of liquor upon his breath"
Garnett said his watch had run down and
stopped and he lost track of the time. He
also claimed he had cold and took O drink
of rock and rye before leaving home for
the station.
