New Salton Sea.

Through great underground assures,
rent by earthquake shocks, the waters
of the Gulf of California are pouring
into the old Salton basin and resist
lessly forcing the new Salton sea to
sea level.
Doubt no longer exists as to the
origin of this vast inland sea which
now skirts the main line of the South
ern Pacific for nearly 100 miles and
stretches away on either side of the
track 25 miles to the foothills.

Jews Flee From Russia.

St. Petersburg, Nov. 15.-Advices
from south Russia show that the Jews
are leaving the cities there by the
thousands. Parts of Kishineff, Nicoleff
and odessa are literally depopulated.
All Jews having sufficient funds are
arranging to remove their families to
England and America, many of them
abandoning prosperous projects rather
than risk another reign of terror.

The city of Hartford, Connecticut,
has the distinction of being the first to
use an electric street-sprinkler. The
water-tank resembles that of an ordin-
airy horse-drawn street-sprinkler, but
the vehicle is driven by a storage bat
terry, and is able to cover in day twice
the ground covered by a sprinkler
drawn by a team of horses.
A sea-perch nearly IL feet long
and weighing $50 pounds was caught
last winter in the River Hooghly, In
dia. The condition of its scales indi-
largest Indian sea-perch previously
captured, as far as the records show,
was taken in 1885, 1t was feet in
length, and weighed about 300 pounds
Not many years ago few pairs Of
English starlings were imported into
Australia as allies to the farmers in
the war on destructive insects. Now
the birds have increased to millions,
and have become lemselves a pest.
Other useful birds, such as kingfishers,
diamond-birds, tree-swallows and tree
creepers, are driven from their nests
by swarms of starlings, which devour
fruit so voraciously that some of the
farmers declare that they will be COM
PEELED to abandon fruit-growing unless
the starlings can be destroyed. The
Royal Agricultural Society of Victoria
and other similar associations are unit-
Ing in a request to the government to
abate the nuisance.
Attention is called by the Scientific
American to experiments at Harvard
University which seem to demonstrate
that engineers usually underestimate
the maximum loading caused by dense
crowds on bridges, floors and plat
forms. Forty men, averaging 163
pounds in weight, placed in box six
feet square, caused an average pres
sure of 1S1 pounds per square foot on
the floor. An engineer has estimated
the weight per square foot of floor of
the densest crowds on the New York
elevated railways at only As pounds,
but since the Harvard experiments the
opinion has been expressed that the
maximum loading on the elevated cars
and platforms may be nearer 1S1 than
AZ pounds. This applies to other close
packed crowds.
The recent experiments with high
speed electric motor-cars on the spec
tally prepared Berlin-Zossen line may
result in the building Of railway be-
tween Berlin and Hamburg, or which
trains will run regularly at speed of
10O or even 125, miles an hour. Es-
Inmates have been obtained from two
important electric construction COM
panies, which seem to indicate at least
the possibility of making such a rail-
road a commercial success. The chief
requirements are a straight track, 4
level grade, and heavy cars with spec
tally constructed running-gear The
Germans, having been the first to dem
onstrate the practicability of running
trains at such speeds, are naturally
ambitious to crown the work by con-
structing the first modern high-speed
railway. The estimated cost for a
double-track line 155 miles long varies,
| according to the degree of speed re-
quired, from between $16,0000O0 and
SIT 100000 to more than 100000.
