A Paner Restaurane.

An eating-house made of paper has
been erected in the port of Hamburg
It's walls are composed of a double
layer of paper stretched on frames and
impregnated with fire and water
proof solution. A thin wooden parti-
ton affords further protection against
the inclemency of the weather. The
roofs and walls are fastened together
by means of bolts and hinges, so that
the entire structure may be rapidly
taken to pieces and put up again. The
dining-room itself measures 30 meters
by s meters, and is capable OF accom-
modating about $50 persons. There
are twenty-five windows and four sky
lights, and the heating is effected by
a couple of isolated stoves. A side
erection contains the managers offices,
kitchen, larder and dwelling-rooms.
The total cost of the construction is
said to have amounted to $500 marks.

The floor is reversible. On one side
it is fitted with 500 chairs of the usual
folding variety. On the other side it
is planked with hard wood, waxed and

Railroad Ties Preserved rs Years.

While borough laborers were exca-
waiting this week they dug up the old
railroad between Pottsville and some
of the coal mines, which was in use
seventy-fve years ago. This railroad
was in operation before there was a
through railroad line between Potts
vile an3 Philadelphia. The coal was
hauled to POttsville on cars pulled by
mules and horses and at this point
loaded on the canal
To the great surprise of those who
dug up the old railroad the wooden
ties. although underground for three
quarters of a century, were in per-
feet state of preservation. The con-
ditions under which they were so re-
narkably preserved will be studied by
abroad authorities with the hope of
citing some points that will be OF
PRACTICAL use.

Snake Crop Is Larue.

The biggest snake killed in this sec
ton this year was dispatched by har-
vest hands with pitchforks in the hay
field of Thomas Beaver, son of Gen.
James A. Beaver. 1t was a black
snake. 1t measured eleven feet and
was as thick as mans forearm. 1t
is thought to have been the same big
snake which has been seen in that
section every year.
Snakes are more plentiful than they
have been in years. They cause camp
ers much annoyance. Jacob Shirk,
while in the Allegheny mountains yes
terday hunting his cattle, came upon
snakes and one copperhead. More
than twice as many got away. One

ties and was nearly five feet long.
