She built a great double-track, broad-guage line from Alexandrovsk, an ice-free port on her north coast, down to Petrograd, and completed it within six months. It is 1,220 miles long, and 10,000 men, most. 1y prisoners, were employed upon it. Then look at the Great Siberian rail- way! Five thousand five hundred and twenty-seven miles of line. most oi it across wild plain and forest and over great mountain ranges, in a climate. where for five months of the year the soil is frozen to the (-onsistency of granite, and all this in eight summers! It is a record which, even in North America. has never been equalled. It cost one hundred and forty nillions, and since its completion another twen- ty-two millions have been spent in im- proving the line. The best work done in America un- der similar, but even worse conditions, was the construction of the White Pass and Yukon Railway, which open- ed up the route from the coast to Bkagway to the gold region of Klon- dike. Within twenty miles from its starting point this line has to climb the White Pass, a height of just off three thousand feet. When the sta- tion at the summit was opened seven feet of snow surrounded it, and the thermometer registered 57 degrees be- low zeroâ€"that is, 89 degrees of frost! Annoyance through inability to lo- cate quickly the proper chain for lighting a gas lamp in the dark was overcome by fitting a small brass tube to one of the chains as shown in tho illustration. The tube was solder- ad to the chain by which the light is turned on and the other chain pass- es through the tube and is grasped be- low it. To turn on the light, it is only necessary to slide the hand along both chains and to grip the tube, drawing on the chain attached to it. To turn the light off, the exposed end of the other chain is drawn .â€"â€"-Popular Mechanics. 9'0 .' hu‘.‘ v- ' bomeste: extra c ' patent n as home: conditiox A sett} E homestel - chased l: i tricts.

Some very pretentious books fall flat, whilst others simply perform miracles by impressing the public in dramatic guise with some needi‘ul re- form, some dreadful scandal, or some social need. mercy the world over in 1864. was the direct result of a movement which sprang from the publication of a book entitled, “Un Souvenir de Solferino.‘ by Henri Dunant, a Genevan philan- thropist and physician. With such awfu ldetail did be de- scrihe‘the sufferings of the wounded that. henceforth the subject was one of universal interest. It was ener- getically taken up by the author’s friend. M. Gustave Moynier, whose agitation led to an unofficial congress at Geneva in October, 1863. This was followed by an official one at Geneva called by the Swiss Government. in 1864. The Convention. signed on August 22nd. 1864, afterwards receiv- ed the endorsement and adherence of every civilized Power. No. 5 John Street “No. 5 John Street,” is not exactly a novel with a purpose, but it had an immense influence over modern methods of dealing with the rougher class of working girls in the East End of London. Perhaps this is a case of prophecy bringing its own fulfil- ment, for many of the methods de- scribed by Mr. Richard Whiteing are so reasonable and so eminently prac- ticable that there is little wonder that social workers made him a true prophet. On June 5th. 1851, commenced in the National Era of Washington a serial which in book form has been translated into over a score of lan- guages, has been the pabulum of in- numerable plays, and achieved a cir- culatlon only exceeded by the Bible. Its author was a modest little woman named Harriet Beecher Stowe. and the story was “Uncle Tom’s Cabin.” It probably holds the world's record as a- miracle working book. for it freed every negro in the United States from slavery. The book went like a flame of tire round the world, and what statesmen could not do a boot; accomplished. It tore the last. ragr of justification from an iniquitious sys- tem which had brought untold misery to millions of human beings and sounded the knell of slavery for the whole globe. [I -â€"vâ€"' U- The splendidly organized system of nursing with which Queen Alexandra’s name will ever be associated, and of which the late Florence Nightingale was the pioneer, was largely the re- suit of the lurid pictures Dickens drew of the typical nurses of his earlier days. “Sairey Gamp” embodies in her fat person all the vines of her obnoxious sisterhood. Charles Reade killed the horrible system of transportation for life. and removed from Australia and New Zealand the stain of being criminal dumping grounds. His novel. ”it is Never Too Late to Mend,” did the trick, and the great and self-respect- inga. and self- governing dominions in the southern hemisphere owe the novelist a debt of gratitude which they have not failed to pay. Travellers tell us that in Eastern lands there is a peculiar plant cal_led the coughing bean. The strange fea- ture about this plant is that every once in a while it will make a sound at is just like the cough of a human ing. When this plant is about to cough, it shakes all over, and then ‘vâ€"U tightening up as a man does when e is about to sneeze, it gives a violent cough, which is followed by a little cloud of dust. Some of our readers are no doubt asking, “Why does the plant cough?” This seems to he the explanation: In the long, dry heat which prevails in the desert, where tbs coughing plant grows, the res ot the plant become choked with ust, and it would die of suflocation, but for the fact that a powerful gas accumulates inside the plant, and when this gas has gained sumcient ressure. it explodes with a sound just e a human cough. This explosion shakes the pores of the plant tree from dust. and thus once more the coughing bean is in good health again. Don't Believe All You Read But 00 in and See A notice has been seen in a shop Window an Norway which reads: “Ens- llsh spoken here; American under- stood.” In ioreign countries where English tourists foregather some very ‘uaint notices have been seen at Various “times. On most of the lame stations in Switzerland for instance one can see, “It is prohibited to tra- verse t'se rails unless one is invited to do so by the chief of the station." in 3121a!)

They harbor all kinds of diseases, and have nc- respect to religion.” Jana: has the most harmonious notices displayed. Nearly every shop in Japan exhibits a placard, printed in En lish, advertising goods, some of wh ch are very comical. “Horse- shoe maker instruct by French horse leech," {cu read; or, “if you want sell watch, 1 Val buy; if you want buy buy “pub.
