as the engine is liable to leave the metals,
and. at that rate of progress the vacuum
brakes bring it to stop Immediately. This
is only the second mountain railway IN
India. the other being at Darjeeiing: but
the Simla line is on a broader gauge and on
more ambitious scale in the matter of
cuttings and tunnels. Another mountain
line. however, has been proposed for some
years past through the Dehra Dun valley
up to the hill station of Mussoorie, and 1t is
likely soon to be carried into effect.

from the London Chronicle.

In the matter of the watercress. on which
DIR. King Wary has submitted an unfavor-
able report to the borough of Hackney,
the City Press is reassuring. Watercress
grown in polluted streams is undoubtedly
dangerous to health If not properly washed.
But the plant does not absorb the poison
In the same way as the oyster does the sew
age, and cleansing in fresh cold water
removes all danger. This, we are assured
is the consensus of medical experts. The
obvious moral Is one that would naturally
occur to all dainty feeders-that cress
should be well washed before 1t reaches the
table,
