IMPROVED TOURIST SLEEPERS. Railroads Are Acceding to Demands of Kiddle Classes 'Who Want Better Sleeping-Car Service. . ' la response to the demand of the times the O. E. & N. and its connec tions are placing in operation a much better grade of tourist sleepers for I'a- cific coast service than at any previous time. The largely increased traffic tc this section of ' the country has de manded all the improvements of latter day transportation, and in considera tion of tihs the railroads are establish ins a service which is excellent in every 7 particular. Not only, are the Wishes of the first-class passengers served, Irat those . who are traveling to and from the East on second-class tick eta are splendidly cared for. There art was a time when a tourist sleeper ap pealed to a limited number of people who were traveling on the "cheap" or der, in every meaning -of the term. Now, however, there has been a radical change. "With the better tourist sleep ers in operation the class of passengers has been improved, and one may now travel upon them and enjoy all the privileges ox a nrst-class sleeper at a greatly reduced rate. Daily, on the O. K. & 2J. Eastbound fast mail, is attached one of these latest improved tourist sleepers, a model of beauty and handsome appointments, The new cars are almost an exact counterpaf; of the first-class sleepers. One noticeable feature of the new tourist cars is the absence of a smok ing apartment. The new. cars being built by the Pullman Company are not pomded with smoking apartments. This new departure has been taken be cause ' of the' fact that most through trains are provided with composite cars, which provide a smoker for the sleeping-car passengers. The demand for men to work in the lumber woods during' the season that is just opening is better than it has been for- some years, and the wages offered are 25 per cent higher. The tide of workers from the harvest field to the pineries has set in, and yet the demand is greater than the supply. !

Tt Is Only One-half Mile In Length, ' but It Hat a Monopoly of a Good Business and Kama a Great Deal of Money.. '.; ' ' The leatb of Mr. VandeTbllt brought back to my memory recollections of Austin Corbtn. - My attention was re cently called to the least known enter prise which the late Mr. Corbin found ed, and which, according to one source, is the richest railroad in the world. The road is within half an hour's ride from New York and is known as the Marine Railroad. .-, The entire distance covered by this road is barely -a quarter of 7 a mile, and the fare Is the uniform and small rate of 5 cents, fhe road serves to connect the two summer resorts Manhattan Beach and Brighton Beach. The trip over the road occupies omfly a minute with the comparatively slow locomotive, two of which, with two cars, make up the entire rolling stock of this wealthy road. The road, has been an absolute monopoly of traffic, uiougn, oetween the two beaches, which axe connected by a narrow strip of land. This strip Mr. Corbin, wise man that he was, built his road on and issued orders that any one who wanted to walk alongside the roadbed was tak ing chances of arrest for trespass," and this season a number of special officers headed off all would-be promenaders who wanted to save the fare of 5 cents. On one side of tbls strip is the ocean, on the other swamps and marshes. To circle around these swamps in order to reach' the opposite beach would require a walk of at least three miles, hence the. profit accruing from the Marine Railroad. The road operates only three months a year, but during these three months it carries on an average 50,000 or 60,000 - passengers- a- -week. : Last Fourth of July the two - engines and two coaches carried 28,000 persons at 5 cents, and no half fares for children either. The staff is In keeping with the extent of rolling stock.'. It consists of two engineers, two firemen, two con ductors, two ticket sellers and two gate men. The superintendent of Manhattan Beach Is at the same time general man ager of the Marine Railroad, Its gener al passenger agent and freight agent all in one person. - It la said that the operating ' expenses for the three.. month 8 of the season do not exceed $3,000. In 1891 the road is said to have cleared $57,000 above all expenses. Its capital is $20,000, and, according to one of Its stockholders, It has cleared up wards of $1,000,000 for the sharehold ers during Its existence, a dividend of 250 per cent, per annum;: The hundred dollar shares are therefore worth in the neighborhood of $5,000, a higher prem ium than that commanded by Cheml- can Bank stock, which Is usually con sidered to be the most remarkable In vestment in that respect. That the stockholders are numerically almost as small as the staff of the road can be easily imagined, and that none of the stock is for sale Is also self-understood. In one respect the miniature railway resembles the miniature states of An dorra and San Marino. One never hears anything, about either. Philadelphia Telegraph. ,. , CLIMATE SHOWS FEW CHANGES. Weather Conditions Now About the - fame aa In A sea Past. " This, subject is of extreme Interest and merits a most thorough , study. We find the "early" and the "latter" rain to-day in Palestine precisely as de scribed 3,500 years ago. "Jordan over flows all its banks" in February to-day exactly as it did in Joshua's time, thirty-three centuries ' ago. Plants taken from mummy cases in Egypt, which must have been gathered more than 5,000 years since, are practically of the same size and have the same ap pearance as those growing to-day. Rec ords of vintages In France over 700 years show practically the same dates as to day. Actual observations of rainfall for over 200 years in France show no change. Observations of temperature for almost 200 years at St Petersburg show no change appreciable to us, though, of course, the earliest observa tions were extremely crude and some- what ! unreliable, s Facta of this kind might be adduced to fill a small vol ume. On the other hand, we have rec ords - of , most extraordinary- vcold weather in ancient times. ? One winter the light wine in France froze. An other winter the Elver Po froze over bo as to bear teams, an unheard-of phenomenon to-day. , In this journal recently It is stated that "Parnassus and Sccrate, now free from snow, were covered -with it in classic antiquity." Also . "the name of Greenland, which strikes ns as so singularly, inappropri ate, was not Inapplicable at the time It was named, in the fourteenth century." It Is entirely probable that descrip tions of the cold In ancient times were much exaggerated. Parnassus and Socrate have snow at times, and. In earlier days, when protection against the cold and snow was much less than now, a little snow would go a long way. The earlier voyagers from Iceland, more than 1,000 years ago, leaving a land of almost perpetual Ice and snow, and reaching a land Jn the summer with its beautiful green color to their unaccustomed eyes, . would very nat urally give the name of Greenland to It At the summer time, it is said that Greenland presents a most beautiful green near the Danish settlements to this day. Our oldest inhabitants, who have been wont to describe the terri ble cold and deep snows of their boy hood days as incomparably greater than anything which does or can occur to-day, have completely lost their reck oning the last winter when reading of a ship that had sunk in New York har bor by weight of the Ice upon It; also, that Washington had had thirty -four Inches of snow on a level and the low est temperature ever noted in that fair city. I am sure a careful study will show no appreciable change In the cli mate of this earth since the early his toric times. Of course, nothing here adduced touches climatic changes In glacial times or In prehistoric times, which changes have been established beyond question.-rPopular , Science. Curious Ways of Marking Tim, The islanders of the South Pacific have no clocks, but . make a curious time-marker of their own. 'They take the kernels from the nuts of the candle tree and wash and string them on the rib of a palm leaf. The first or top ker nel Is then lighted. All the kernels are of the same size and substance, and each will burn a certain number of minutes and then set fire to the next one below. The1 natives tie pieces of bark, cloth at regular Intervals along the string, to' mark the divisions of time. Among the natives of Slngan, in. the Malay Archipelago another pe culiar device Is used. Two bottles are placed neck and neck, and sand is put In one of them which pours itself into tlx ether eae erery half-hour, when the bottles are reversed. There Is a Hue near on which are hung twelve rods, marked with notches from one to twelve. A regular appointed keeper attends to the bottles and rods, and sounds the hour upon a gong. " Characteristic of Kuoston. The Ohio State Journal, after Inter viewing a member of the engineer corps, concludes that Gen. Fred Fun ston, the Kansas boy, can be original even while in a semi-comatose state It was before the battle of Caioocan. He had had no sleep for two days and was in bad shape. He therefore rolled himself up In some leaves and went to sleep. Jean time, the division received orders to .advance, but Funston could not be found. Many scouts had been killed, and it was feared that the Colo nel's curiosity for he was a Colonel then had led him ' into trouble. Pres ently, however, a glimpse was caught of his red hair In the tangle, and later they found him shrouded in leaves. As this Is the way bodies are prepared for burial In that part of the world, they got more and more apprehensive with each step, until, at lengthy some one shouted: "Colonel, are you dead or alive?' "Neither," grunted the Colo nel, as he rolled over for another nap; "I'm sleeping." , .-t It Is an unexplained fact that glow worms are much more brilliant Just before an approaching storm than at any other time, . ' . '. The most active volcano in the World Is Mt Sangay, 17,190 feet, situated on the eastern chain of the Andes. South America. It has been In constant erup tion since 1728. The atmospheric ocean surrounding the-earth is frequently disturbed by gigantic waves, which are invisible ex cept when they carry parts of the air, charged with moisture, up into-a cold er atmospheric stratum where sudden condensation occurs. In this manner long, parallel lines of clouds sometimes make tbeir appearance at a : great height, marking the crests of a ripple of air waves, running miles above our heads. . . - Prof. '. Alexander Agasslz, with a corps' of men of science, and under the auspices of the United States Fish Commission, set sail from San Fran cisco about the middle of August In the steamship Albatross, on one of the most important scientific expeditions of recent times. An immense area of the Pacific Ocean, Including the Paumota, the Friendlyj the Ellice. the Gilbert and the Marshall Islands, and many unnamed groups of coral islets, will be thoroughly explored for the first time. The voyage will cover' about 20,000 miles, and the explorations will Include the life and phenomena of the sea from Its surface to its greatest 'attainable depths. : It has often been suggested that the brilliance of the sun's disk is due to In candescent particles r-f carbon, and within a few years past the. presence of carbon in the sun has been demon strated by the spectroscope. Lately' Prof. Hale, the director of the Yerkes Observatory, has shown that there is a thin layer of carbon in the lowei part of the sun's atmosphere. It surrounds the solar globe like a luminous! shell, and under normal conditions is proba bly not more than five hundred miles above the sun's surface. But when an eruption takes place from beneath the carbon layer, like all the other con stituents of the solar atmosphere. Is broken np and locally dispersed by the tremendous -agitation. The work of keeping the mouth, of the world's greatest commercial river, the Thames, open and free for ships of all classes is not lacking in difficulty. The shifting sands continually en croach upon the channels of the great estuary, and the latest surveys show that the Duke or Edinburgh Channel, Which Is at present the principal pas sage' Into the Thames for heavy ves sels, has narrowed since 1882 from a mile and a half to about half a mile. "Its total obliteration, which seems by no means impossible," says Nature, "would entail a long circuit at the time of low water." -The "Middle Swim," the main route for traffic between Lon don and the north, has also contracted and. shoaled much within late years. Occasionally small diamonds have been found among the ridges of gravel brought down from the north ' In the age of the glaciers and scattered over the States bordering on the Great Lakes. - Prof. Hobbs, of the Univer sity of Wisconsin, thinks that these diamonds, came from' some place In Canada, and that by tracing back the line of advance of the glaciers the orig inal location of the gems' may be dis covered."".. An effort to carry out Prof. Hobbs suggestion is to be made, and Prof. H. L. FairchHO, of the University of Rochester; Prof. I. C. Russell, of the University of Michigan; Prof. J. P. Iddlngs,' of the University of Chicago, and Prof. O. C. Farrington, of the Field Columbian Museum, will co-operate by examining, without charge, suspected gems found by persons living near the glacial moraines. Analysis of Instinct. - l jA.il English traveler in Northern Rus sia,; telling how . he made Ills ". way through a forest after a fall of snow simply by keeping that side of" the tree to which the snow clung always in the same relation to his course, is led to examine how it is that a savage gains the Instincts of his race. We often hear of "the Instinct of di rection," as we may call it possessed so marvelously by savage races. People profess to expla'n it In one of two ways. It is either said that the Indian actual ly does take note of the sun, the wind, the lay of the land, of the course of the streams which, as a fact It Is often, In the dense.forest, Impossible for him to do-or else it is set down simply as "instinct," and this, although it is near er the mark, is, in a sense, to beg the question. " Instinct however It may be In the case of animals, is here, no doubt hered itary experience. . The sun, the wind the streams are influences, but only that The Indian does hot consciously observe them. Just as you, using an experience gained In daylight can fol low without hands In the dark a wind ing staircase between the baluster and the wall, so with the Indian in his forest - , .. , .. . . His "observation" Is entirely. subject ivean unconscious impression, the sum of small influences, to which, by hered ity, his senses are alive, as the retina to light pictures. In the same way I had not consciously remarked the lay of the snow on the trees, yet the fact kept me from going astray. A girl always thinks her first-beau is perfection personified ' F1H8T PATENT IN AMERICA, Was Granted in 1648 by. the General Court of Massachusetts. To the general court of Massachu setts belongs the honor of granting the first American patent; this was in 1648 and was then designated as a monopoly. It was confined to the region controlled bv Massachusetts and the one issue ap parently Included all the invention of the inventor connected with engines that depended upon water for their mo tive power. The limit of the monopoly was fourteen years and the court not only retained power to forbid exporta tion, but to prevent exorbitant charges upon the public for their use. " The patent was issued in this form . "J enkes Monopolye. At a generall Courte at Boston the 6th of the 3th Mo 1648.

He was a black smith and machinist made the dies for the coining for the "pine-tree" money and built the first engine in this coun try; altogether a man of great inven tive genius and the ancestor of a large number of descendants. One of his sons removed to Rhode Island, where he built several mills. FATAL AGE OF THIRTY-SEVEN. Many of tne World's Great Men Have - neenm bod When Only 1 hit A pre. The age of 37 Is a particularly fatal age. An examination of the records of the United States government shows that more people die at that age than any other after attaining their major ity. - It Is also ascertained that more misfortunes overtake persons at that age than at any other time in their lives and. that few fortunate events befall them. An examination of history develops the same thing. At the age of 37 a great sorrow befell Aristotle, the death of Plato, his friend and teacher, with whom he had studied for nearly twenty years. This sorrow plainly showed Its effects upon his future life and to it may be attributed the sad tone of his later writings. It was at the age of 37 that Lord Byron died of fever at Greece. As Lord Beaconsfield says he was "greater as a man than as a writer and his loss to the world was a great blow to It" Raphael, the glory of Italian art, died at 37. He fell sick a week before his birthday of cold and fever and died on that day, Good Friday. In him the world lost one of Its greatest artists.' In music, like art and poetry, En gland lost her- greatest composer at the age of 37. Purcell, the most dis tinguished musician Britain produced, died within a few days after attaining his thirty-seventh year. The regard In which he was held in England placed him on a par with Milton in epic poetry, with Shakspeare on the stage, Locke In metaphysics, and Sir. Isaac Newton' In philosophy and mathematics. : It was at the age of 37, too, that En gland lost a military genius that she regarded as of the highest rank and promised Prince Henry of Battenburg died of fever in Ashantee in that year' of his life. Pascal!, too. died at 37, but why seek more Illustrations? These are sufficient to Illustrate the fatality of the . age among geniuses. Where death failed misfortune often befelL -. ..-'-So the age of 37 may be regarded as the fatal age of all those after a man T passes his majority. QUEER SIGN LANGUAGE.
