ItfTstRESTlNO FACTS.
Herewith aro gathered together many of tho
most recent facts In science and industry, and
interesting and valuable statistics relating to
various departments of human activity. Thoy
are all obtained from sources which atlurd a
guarantee of their correctness!
William 11. Vanderbilt says that "the rail
roads now existing (ill the Cnited Mates), if
crow ded to the fullest capacity, could do four
times the business of the country."
The gross earnings of all the railroads in tho
Culled States, reported for 177. were ?J72,
l()0,'J7'.', a decrease of 5J,31s,(b7 from 1S7.
This is the smallest cross earning since Is"'-,
when thciu was some I MM) less miles of rail
road. Tho net earnings for Is77 show n de
crease of only .!.", t71.0" as compared with
1S70, due to increased economy of ojieratioii,
Dividends fell oil $'.i,4S3,3.'W, and w-ro less
than in any year since 1871. when there wero
30,000 miles less road in the country. Nodii
deiuls were paid on any of tho lailroads in
eleven states. The reduction in rates continu
ed through 1877, and, as it was cry general
throughout the country, was one of the princi
pal causes of decreased earnings,
Tho aggregato oxtont of railway in operation
in France attho clotoof March, 1S78, was 13,
170 miles, as compared with l'-',778j miles at
the closo of March, 1877. It follows that 391 i
miles of now lino wero completed in Franco du
ring tho twelve months ending with March 31,
1878.
In 1S74 tho total length of railways in Swit
zerland was 10-J0 miles; to 1870, U70 miles,
being an increase of to- tulles nearly 00 per
cent. Tho cost of constructing these lines was
9188,031,500, and tho capital employed in
working them is ?! 13,010,000.
Tho supplement to tho last Gazette of India
contains tome Interesting statistics of tho num
ber of servants of nil races employed on the
different railway lines in India. Tho grand to
tal for 7'J78 miles of tho lino is lll-'.OlO, or be
tween eight aud nine individuals per mile. Of
theso lo'J.OlO persons, l"..3,OI0 aro natives,
3311) are F.urasians children of Kuropcaui.but
born in Asia and 3('K)7aro F.uropcans. In fact,
it may almost be said that the working of the
railways is practically in tho hands of the na
tives of tho country in tomo cases, but not all,
under tho Europcau supervision.
Mr. Dan vers, Government Director of tho
guarantcd railways of India, recently stated
before , jelcct committeo of thu Kuglish House
of Commons that last year tho total net re
ceipts of tho guaranteed and Stato railways in
India amounted to ?1, 117,00, and tho capital
expended was 13,315,000.
Thcro are now in Russia cloven "railroad
schools," with ninety teachers, where instruc
tion is given in religion, tho Russian language,
geography, history, mathematics, physics, me
chanics, railroad engineering, natural sciences,
telegraphy, bookkeeping, drawing, orthogra
phy, mechanical trades, singing and gymnas
tics. Last year theso schools had 1-00 stu
dents, 81 per cent of whom wero between tho
igi-s of 13 ami 21; the others younger to 10
y irsand older t-j 30 years of nu. In the
eight years since tho opening o'f tho first school
4813 pupils have studied in theso establish
ments. The schools are attached to railroads,
which have to piy about ?1 1 per inilo of road
for their support.
Statistics show that n person had in France,
in the timo of tho diligences, a chanco of Mug
killed In making 300,000 journeys, and of be
ing hurt once in making 30,000. On the rail
ways, from 1872 to 1873, the chances were re
duced to ono death In 13,000,000 of journeys,
mid injury in n million.
During 187", tho total number of (ersons
killed in tho working of tho railways of Hug-
Itml, Scotland and Ire! mil was! 173, ami tho
injured 3703. Of these. I'.'l) killed and I '-"it

A meeting has been called for Wednesday
night to be held at thu Opera House, fur the
purpose of agitating the Salem and Silyerton
railroad. All who feel that they have an in
terest in the prosperity of Salem are requested
to turn out, so that this enterprise may bu dis

steps will be taken at once to canvass Salem
and vicinity for subscription of stock, thus
showing to all the world that the people of
Salem mean business. Turn out everybody and

A School or Kraut),
In Kugland it is proposed to open a school
where young ladies shall bo taught beauty

the huntress Diana, and tho dress is to con

of corsets and thu voluminous vxpinso of

birds and (cithers, tinners r.tul nntterlli.
down to tho feet and ankles, draggled about
1 with skirts that sweep up the mud or dust,
the feminine fashion of dress is one mass of
absurdities. The extreme of fashions fan
tasies in dress is as ridiculous as Dr. Mary
Walker's mail-woman stjle. Ilea en forbid
that angels should appear in trousers, but
iu the name of comfort and common sense
let them remodel tho dress to suit the ideas
of this practical age, aud, since it is woman's
mission to bo loxely, send her to tho school
of lieauty, where utility and grace, goodness
and beauty, are instilled as high branches of
education.
tthnl Is Krlliiril KHgsr;
An article appeared in our yesterday's is
sue, copied from the Hawaiian Gazette, of a
lato date, iu .egard to what constitutes re
fined sugar, which has drawn out tho follow,
ing communication from a gentleman of this
city, as follows!
In answer to your question, "What is re
fined sugar!" I beg to stato all sugar which
iias been filtered through animal charcoal is
refined sugar, and uo other, no matter of
what color or grain. Ily putting the darkest
sugar into centrifugals, any shade of color
might bo produced, from brown to snow
white. Tho patent cube sugar fri is not ro
lined sugar in tho trim scuso of tho word,
although you find it on tho table of ull ho
tels, and I'D out of 1 00 would tako it for
real refined sugar. It is for this reason not
surprising that the Custom House authori
ties in San Francisco should have their own
opinion on this matter, moreover consider
ing tho conflicting condition of tho Knglish
language In this country. To illustrate this
I might mention tho curious interpretation
which the Revenue authorities glvo to tho
word rectifying. They call "rectifying"
the procoss to reduc spirits from say ISS'to
100 or to proof, by means of adding Spring
Valley liquor to it. Now, nothing could bo
more incorrect. Rectifying Is about tho
same operation with rcganl to spirits as re
fining is with regard tu sugar. The spirit is
either filtered through charcoal, or put onco
more into tho still, with a view to clean it
from fusil oil. It is evident that tho Cus
tom House authorities aro as much mistaken
with rcferctiru to the meaning of tho word
refining as tho Revenue with regard to tho

To kill bedbugs, The only certain cure
for bedbugs is a solution of corroiuo subli
mate, which may bo had at the druggist's.
The bedstead should bu taken apart and
well washed with cold water and bird soap;
then with a tlat brush, the poison should be
applied to every crack aud cruvice where a
bug may harbor. The poison should be
used once or twice a werk, as may lie neces
sary. It is a work of time und P stienee, but
if perseved iu this remedy will etlcctually
destroy the bugs. Corrosive is a deadly
poison, and should be kept out ol the way
of children and servants.
