Opal Fossil OF q Shark.

Since they were first discovered the
famous opal fields at White Cliffs, N.
S. W., have yielded many curious fos-
sils, particularly those Of prehistoric
marine life. But the latest discovery
is a most extraordinary one, and will
prove of the deepest interest to the
scientific world.
1t is that Of a fossilized, or rather
opalized, member of the shark family,
which was found on block No 6, at a
depth of thirty-fve feet from the sur
face The Sydney press says that the
speciment measures 3 feet 6 inches
from the snout to the tip of the tail.
The body is in seven sections, the cir
cumference of the largest Of which
Cthe head and shoulder portion) is
eighteen inches; each section is six
inches in length.
The deeply indented eye-sockets
show plainly, "and thin veins of pur'
pie opal encircle the fish from tip to
tip" At the mouth these veins make
an oblong and clearly defined course
though the continuity is occasionally
broken. No particulars as to weigh
are given, but as the fossil has beer
sent to London these ond other mat
ters Of interest will soon be deter
mined. 1t was purchased from tn
finders by an opal buyer.

NEW WONDERS OF ELECTRICITY.

IF Government Owned Telegraphs,
Short Letters Could be Sent Cheaply.
In electricity there is nothing more
interesting than its application to
steam railways Engineers Of high
standing believe that the day is near
at hand when most of the larger rail-
ways will dispense with steam locomo-
tives and employ electrical motive
power, either by motors fed from third
rails or overhead conductors, or by
electric locomotives. However this
may be, electricity is already coming
into use on steam railways. The New
York Central is spending forty million
dollars for electrifcation of it's metro
politan terminal. partly for the pur-
pose Of dispensing with smoke and
coal gas in the tunnels, and partly to
obtain higher speed Of trains.
It is easy even for layman to un-
derstand the superiority Of electricity
as a motive power in urban and sub
urban transportation. With locomo-
! tive. traction is secured from the
weight of the driving wheels. With
the multiple-unit system the weight Of
every car in the train may. if desired.
be put upon the drivers. In service
with frequent stops, speed is secured
by a high rate Of acceleration, and
rapid acceleration requires power and
weight. In New York's new subway
train of eight cars will carry motors
which may, at any desired moment,
exert tractive force equal to that OF
half dozen large steam locomotives.
OF great promise is the motor which
uses an alternating current without
sub-station transformers. If it proves
entirely successful, it will introduce
large economy in all electrical railway
operation. The application of electr1-
cal railway devices to all sorts Of in
dustriaIism affords material for book
all by itself, ranging, as it does, from
the great electrical locomotive and the
, huge overhead crane to the broiling OF
beefsteak or curling Of my lady's
/ hair by means of the magic current.
In almost every workshop electrical
: tools may be found. In these, and in
compressed-air appliances, may be
found the greatest advance in shop
mechanics during the decade. There

is made in two sections, the upper sec
ton being divided into four principal
compartments by means of three Veru-
cal partitions. One Of these compart-
ments is again divided in series OF
subcompartments by horizontal pard-
tions. while the two center sections are
formed into very small drawers for
storing spices, salt or cereals, etc. The
lower section of the cabinet Is also
divided into drawers and compart-
ments of any suitable size and for any
purpose that may be desired. By an
ingenious device of the inventor the
dra wers for the storage of cereals are
fitted with an attachment for pouring
out the quantity required. A slidable
table is also fitted between the Sec
lions. 1t is obvious that this cabinet
would be of great benefit to the house

The only hope of the northsiders was

pose OF taking part in the fight, II 1t

river and prevent bloodshed.
The state maintained the right of its
citizens to fish to the middle of the

Longest Fence in the World.

The longest fence in the world Is
probably that which has been erected
by a well-known American cattle COM
pany along the Mexican border. 1t is
seventy-five miles in length, and sep
arates exactly for its entire distance
the two republics of North America.
The fence was built to keep the cattle
from running across the border and
falling an easy prey to the Mexican
COW punchers. Although it cost
great deal of money, it is estimated
that cattle enough will be saved in
one year to more than pay for it.
