Construction of the road was one of the
most remarkable engineering feats OF
Copper river diagonaily to avoid the huge
Miles and Childs glaciers. which dis
charge on opposite sides Of the river.
Every bit OF material for the road was
that the roadbed for the greater part Of
the distance was blasted from solid rock,
the loss Of life was small. The winter
just ended was so mild that construction
was uninterrupted
The driving of the last spike in the
Copper River & Northwestern railroad
Is of more than passing interest to many
people in Salt Lake. Joseph II Young,

Grande Young Of this city. He was born
and raised here and received his first
railroad experience on the old Oregon

railroad positions until he was appointed
general superintendent of the northern
lines Of the Southern Pacific. which po-
sition he held until he was appointed to
his present position.

the new road, was formerly railroad edi
tor for The Tribune. having resigned that

The First Census.

The idea Of the census originated
among the Romans, when a group
Of the many functions performed
by the high officer called censor re-
ceiyed the name Of census. II was
taken every five years and indicated
not only tie number Of the respec-
tive classes Of the people, but their
domestic positions as husbands,
wives, fathers, mothers, sons and
daughters. The first modern ma
ton to take up the census was the
United States Of America in 1890.
The first British census was in 1901.
but this did not include Ireland.

AN ENGLISH BLIZZARD.
Took a Regiment OF Soldiers te
Clear the Roads In 1886

There was a certain Hercules en-
CINE which cut a noble figure in the
English blizzard Of 1886.
To appreciate the role played BY
the Hercules some ilcl must h
given Of the effect OF the storm on
other methods Of travel. Fourteen
mail coaches were abandoned on as
many roads. Another was dug out
Of drifts five times between Exeter
and London.
Another was buried so deep that
it took 800 men. principally sappers
and miners. several hours TO make a
passage 10 the coach and rescue the
mails and passengers. while near
Chatham the snow Law to a depth Of
thirty or forty feet. the military be-
inc turned out TO the number Of
600 to clear the way.
in London the drifts were ten
feet deep. and hundreds Of men and
carts we're employed hauling snow
out TO the fields in the suburbs. The
markets were ia q bad way. One
day only four stall holders were
able TO reach a main market. Greens
which a few DAYS before the storm
we're being sold for threepence a
bunch at market now fetched from
tenpence to a shilling. turnips. car
rots and celery becoming equally
dear, while penny handfuls Of par,
lev realized 2s. Cd. and the happy
possessor Of a bunch which he had
previously purchased for ninepence
realized for his prize no less a sum
than 81 q. 81.
Amid all this confusion the pio-
neer railways covered themselves
with glory by running trains almost
without interruption. There was a
deep cutting on one line where the
snow had drifted badly, and great
numbers Of people turned out TO
see how the Hercules engine would
get along. They imagined, Of course, !
that she would be stopped. but 10
their astonishment the engine dash
ed right into the drift, clearing
her way through apparently with
out the slightest difficulty, the snow
at the same time flying over the top
Of the engine chimney like foam
from the broken waves Of a violent
sea, and Notwithstanding obstruc-
tons the train came down from

hour and a quarter" London

The surface OF the earth can be
compared TO the top Of barrel OF
asphalt. hard and rigid through md
through, scanned and cracked on the
surface by the ements. For ten
miles in a straight line below the
surface the earth is probably dry
and hard. Of rock substance. The
pressure Of this substance upon the
heated center Of the earth keeps il
from getting hotter than il is, Just
as YOU can keep water from boiling
by an appropriately sufficient pres
sure. The fact that there is steam
in volcanic eruptions is the leakage
Of the interior pressure Of heat in
the earth The character Of matter
in the center Of the earth or its i'm
mediate environment must be some
thing like pumice stone-spOngv,
porous, hght-because when the
earth's interior matter is melted in
the high temperatures that are
there il dissolves. and there is con-
siderable water in it that escapes
through volcanic craters in steam.

DIET OF HARDWARE.

New York, Feb. 5.-The ancient rule
that "what's one man g meat is an
other mans hardware has just been
re-established more firmly than ever,
and by no less an authority than the
Journal of the American Medical asso.
citation
In the current number ofthepublica-
tons Doctors Vandivert and Mills of
the Missouri state insane hospital at
st. Joseph report the case of Sallie L.,
a mulatto, whose appetite for nails,
bolts Jacks, moving and reaping ma.
chimes, and all manner of hardware
resulting in her death at that institu
ton recently. One of the peculiar fea
lures about the case is that her depre
dations extended over seven years.
The case Of the woman puzzled thu
physicians and her actions became
more unaccountable as the end drew
near. She seemed to thrive, although
rartaking only slightly of the hospi
tai fare, and on her death the physi
clans decided upon an autopsy to n
lieve their professional curiosity. Y
In her stomach they found 1,44
separate articles Of hardware an,
things intended for household use
which would have been of much great
er value somewhere else. These includ
ed 453 nails Of all sizes, AZ screws,
bolts, 105 safety pins lis hairpins, 10
common pins and a quantity of tabl
utensils, grape seeds and the like.
In spite Of this the woman was abb
to eat and digest a considerable quar-
tity of ordinary food up to within tw
weeks Of her death.

Tho Soldiers Who Didn't Steal the
Apples Ate Them.

Apples Ate Them.
A reprimand which takes the form
of joke is sometimes more effectual
than burst Of anger. Such an exam
pie was furnished by Confederate
officer and described by T. D. Moore in
his "Anecdotes of General Cleburne."
The southern army, marching across
the mountains Of Georgia, had its sup
ply trains cut off and was obliged to
live upon the country.
Apples, chestnuts and persimmons
were plenty, but the army had strict
orders not to depredate upon private
property. One day was trudging
along in the rear Of General Gran
bury's brigade when saw down the
road General Cleburne sitting on the
top rail of fence, while below him
Piles. Near by stood a number of SOL
diers, who looked as mean as men
could look.
General Granbury saluted General
Cleburne, who remarked:
"I'm peddling apples today"
FLOWS that?'
'oThese gentlemen" pointing to the
soldiers who had stolen the apples,
shave been very kind. They have
gathered apples for me and charged
nothing. I'll give them to you and
your men. Now get down and take
one, and each Of your men take one
only one. mind you-until oil are
gone"
The invitation was accepted, the
men cheering for "Old Pat" When
the apples were gone the general made
each man who had stolen the apples
carry rail for mile or two.
