Most Curious Railway.

The Darjeeling- -l4imalayan railway
is one of the most curious in the
world. 1t is of two,foot gauge, and on
account of the steepness is full Of
loops, curves and spirals, many of the
curves having only 70 feet radius.
Some of the gradients are as high as
one foot in 2S. A special type OF To-
comotiye had to be made for it at
Manchester This locomotive was ye-
quired by the specifications to be able
to travel on reverse curves not ex-
ceeding 60 feet radius, with only 20
feet length Of tangent between the
curves. The engine consists Of a
frame supported at each end by four
wheeled bogies, each of which is de-
scribed as a miniature locomotive
without boiler. The boiler is carried
on the frame between the bogies.

The oriain of Ear-Rinos.

A correspondent writes to the Pail
Mall Gazette Of London to correct a
statement that the ears were not
pierced for earrings till the seven
teenth century. The most ancient ear
rings in the museums. he says, were
certainly worn in pierced ears. There
is tradition that when Sarah, jealous
of Hagar, vowed to dye her hands in
the latters blood. Abraham saved the
situation by boring Hagar's ears and
letting Sarah insert silver rings, so
that her vow was fulfilled. The rings,
however, lent such splendor to the
girls dusky cheeks that Sarah soon
adopted them herself, and this was
the origin of earrings.
