MAKING A TRACK
How the Northwestern is Bal
lasting Its Roadbed Trough
South Dakota.
A Piece Of Work That Proves
This Will Be the Main
Line to the Coast.

The crawling of the tracks from HUI
ron to Pierre, and from this city on
over the extension of the Northwestern
rad to Rapid City, a distance of $50
miles, is going on in the most rapid
manner.
The spur of the road recently built
from Blunt ten miles northeast up the
Medicine creek valley into Sully county,
to place near what is called Farmer
lake, where over section of fine gravel
pits are being opened up, is now result.
ing in from 1875 to $50 cars of fine bal
last being sent out each twenty-four
hours, and deposited on the road bed.
From Eve to six trains of gravel are
loaded every day and night at this
point The pits opened up and the
!, 81 letracks thereto are supplied with
mammoth steel scoops or shovels, each
operated by steam engines, and i'll charge
of three men to work them. 1t is an
interesting sight to see gravel train
back in on side track at one of the
pits and see the steam shovels get to
work on train of say twenty five fiat
cars. About six swings of the great
shovels to the car and the latter is
loaded, and the next car is pulled into
position by the locomotive. In very
short time the train is ready to pull out
for the new tracks up Bad river, or east
~ x,,ha holl to- To ko do
posted, and at such point another in
teresting scene is witnessed.
When the train stops at the appointed
place to unload all that is necessary is
for few men to go from one car to an
I other and pull lever. The cars are
. specially constructed so that by this
/ simple act the bottoms of them are re-
leased, and the gravel falls into the
! middle Of the track, between the rails
The work OF loading and unloading
this ballast is as simple as it could pos
sibly be. When it is dumped along the
Il center of the track and the train of
'empties" pulls out, pillow attached to
( the rear-mOst car spreads the gravel
right and left over the grade, in all even,
smooth shape, and all the track men
have to do is to lamp it in under the
& ties, whereit packs down and makes a
hard and impervious roadbed that will
last for ever, withstanding drought and
4 wet weather.
The Northwestern railway is thus
4 taking unusual pains in making the
II line from Tracy to Pierre and on to
3s Rapid City as good as its best, which
IS lends color to the statement that this is
u soon to become its main line from Chi
& cago to the Pacific coast. With the
e heaviest steel rails also being put down
y capable of CARRYING the largest mogul
engines, the time is not far distant
when fast trains will be dashing along
this line, trying to cut dow the running
time and beat the worlds record from
the Atlantic to Pacific coasts. Pierre
Il will always be an important stopping
point.

NEW FACTS ABOUT PoMPEII.
City Proved Never to Have Been d
Seaport.

City Proved Never to Have Been q
Seaport.
The question whether POmpeii was a
or whether it was separated from the
sea by a strip Of land, was solved de
facto, in 1879, by a network of trenches
opened by Ruggero across the dis
puted district, says Prof. Lauciani, in
Harpers Weekly. 1t was ascertained
on this occasion that the story of a
three-masted ship, in fact, of the flag
ship of Pliny, alleged to have been
found near the farmhouse of Messigua
in 1888, was absolutely groundless. The
masts, seen and described by the naval
architect Giuseppe Negri, were simply
trunks Of cypress trees. Many such
trunks of expresses have been found
since. They measure, as an average,
1.42 millimeters in circumference, At
millimeter in diameter, which seems to
be the proper size for a tree 40 or 40
years old. Their roots are still planted
in the antique humus of the mouth of
the SarnO, whereas the trunks are EN-
bedded in, the laplli of the eruption of
70. With the help of these fossil re-
mains the line Of the ancient seacoast
has been traced from Tore Annunziata
to Castellammare, crossing the River
Sarno 5000 feet above its present
mouth. The picturesque rocks Of Rovig
liano, the petra Herculis of the RO-
mans, which, before the eruption, were
separated from the mainland by
channel 1850 meters wide, come now
within 420 meters Of the shore.
Among those who remained faithful
to duty in spite of the appalling cir
cumstances, were the few soldiers gar
risoning the city. SiXty-three skeletons
have been discovered in the barracks.
These facts, which 1 have quoted
from memory, prove that the number of
the victims of the eruption within and
near the Inflated city is greater than
was generally upposed-namely, from
600 to 700 for the portion excavated up
to 1889. This portion represents four
tenths Of the whole surface. If the
rdIlO De lue same LOT the districts vet
uneXplored, the total number of the
victims may be put at minimum of
1900. Admitting the number of 10000
or 1000 as the most probable for the
population, this means that of nine
Pompeians one persisted, while eight
succeeded in saving their lives. The
latest discovery deserving consideration
is that Of a trunk of laurel-Iaurus
nobilis-the plaster cast of which is an
admirable reproduction. In the mass
of ashes in which the trunk lay buried
prints or marks of leaves and berries
bacca lauri-have been identified be-
yOnd doubt. The discovery, studied and
analysed by the professor of botany in
the University of Naples and other emf
nent specialists, is very important, be-
cause it brings forth a new argument
as decisive as it was unexpected, on
the controversy concerning the exact
date of the eruption and of the disap-
pearance of Pompei.
