ON RUSSIAN RAILWAYS.
There Are More Accident Than oa
Any Other Continental
Syatem.
Although railway traveling In Rus
sia is slower than in any other country
Eur.',!;1, there are more accidents ou
the Kur;:n than on any other contl
r t-i'.i a! fy-i '"tn . ?ays an Odessa correppon
oect oi the London Times. The aver
age sivh! of a passer ger train is 36 miles
an hour, and that of the so-called "fast
nT?tvst-s" 42 miles. Approximately
i.H.;-L'nK. there are now about 29,000
mi'es of railway in European Russia.
r to an official return lately
;t 'jlishr-d. the number of accidents last
yen- n'r.cuntcd to 9.SP0. Of these 1,212
w re collisions, and 1,521 derailments,
t'ue t he 3. i. 1 five hundred and twenty-nine
persons were Mlled, and 7,908
i'ljured. The damage done to railway
V.oek was estimated at 1,600,000 rubles,
,i paltry sum as compared with the ter
r;&l loss of life and the number of peo
ple injured.
The szroatrr part of the permanent way
in this country is laid without either
ch?;r or fish-nlstes, the old and insecure
ree'.bo-i of rivets staples being still
k: voKue, a fact which largely accounts
for the enormous number of accidents.
Kacc Prejudice In Mexico.
In n rec?nt report to the state de
partment United States Consul LeRoy,
st Durango, Mexico, refers to "race
prejudice" as "a common American ten
i.eiKT, which militate.'-'; against us in this
i'o-intry (Mexico)." He say s that Amer
!' i who :o there to invest, to push
business connect ions or to locate and
mal;e their own way, are too prone to
h.cvr contempt for the people of the
,-ountry. "It is a narrow, fchort-sighted
idea of 'patriotism,' " says Consul &e
Koy, "and a not. well-founded race preju
dice, which is. r pea king of this partic
ular tliairlot at leas!:, a drawback to the
rxtensiou of American commerce.
Whatc ve r Americans may choose to think

Whatever the explanation may tie,
there is unfortunately a contempt for
Uication throughout all classes in this
country. Naturally, therefore, our edu
cation i the worst of any highly-civilized
'ountry, says the London Statist
And because it is so we are gradually
losing ground and our competitors are
forging ahead of us. We are losing
t-round, not alone in trade and manufac
tures, but in every department of life.
Our whole government system is ineffl
"lent to a surprising degree. What our
army is we saw in South Africa. What
our administrative departments are we
have had of late several disconcerting
illustrations.
If, then, we are to recover our old
place in the world it Is in the highest de
gree desirable that we should reform
our system of education and supply all
c -asses from the highfst to the lowest
with a real and scientific mental train
ing. In orttr to oppose logically Mr.

need to deny that this country does not
hold now the position of preeminence
which it h Id formerly. Indeed, we ven
ture to think that reasonable and
thoughtful men like Lord Rosebery
rather injure the cause they have at
heart than promote it by making such
denial.
THE BULL-FIGHTER'S GRIT.
Wonderful DUpIny of Serve Bad

The recent death of the famous Span
ish toreador Keverte recalls one of the
most thrilling incidents ever witnessed
in the arena. It was at Bayonne, says
the London Globe. After disposing of
two bulls Keverte had twice plunged his
sword into a third, of great strength and
ferocity, and as the beast continued
ear-ring wildly the spectators began to

The quick of his pride, the Spaniard

LARGEST BOTTLE BLOWN.
One In New York City That Hold
Slxty-Ftre Gallons, Five
Feet High.
The largest blown glass bottle in the
United States, or in the world, so far aa
the makers know, is on exhibition in a
window in Barclay strei't, just above
Greenwich. It holds C5 gallons and is
ihaped something like a baby's nursing
bottle narrow at the bottom, bulging
it the midle, with a small neck and
mouth. The bottle Is a trifle less than
five feet high, and is about four feet in
circumference at its widest part, reports
the New York Times.
The man who blew it at the factory
in New Jersey is just about as tall aa the
bottle. If he could manage to squeeze
through its neck, he could sleep very
comfortably inside of it. If the surface
area of the glass blown into the bot
tle were spun silk, it would make a
gown for a moderately large sized wom
an. Although blowing by guesswork,
tempered with long experience, the man
exceeded by only half an ounce his in
structions a3 to the size of the bottle
65 gallons.
The firm read in a western newspa
per of a "hitherto unaccomplished feat,"
as alleged, of a blown bottle holding 40
gallons. The Barclay street makers
sent one of that size to the Philadelphia
Centennial, more than 25 years ago.
Just to show that it was still in the ring,
this Gfi-gallon bottle was made. The
managt r says that he could blow a hundred-gallon
bottle if he had a placo to
put it in his window.
Pinned to a card at the base of the
big bottle Is the smallest bottle in the
world, its appropriate runnning mate. It
holds just four drops, and must be filled
with a hyiKidermic syringe. It is so
small that it has to be fastened against
a jet-black background in order that
persons looking in at the window can
see it. More time was dequired to make
the four-drop bottle than the 65-gallon
one.
The substitution of machinery for
human labor in glase bottle factories is
not making much headway. For the
finer grades of work machinery is no
good at all. Skilled mechanics are at
work improving it all the time, and
they promise to succeed some day, just
as they did with the typesetting ma
chines. Meanwhile the efficient glass
blower has the call. There is a great
deal of boy labor in the factories, which
are scattered throughout New York,
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Illinois,
Ohio and Indiana. Each blower re
quires from two to three boys to carry
bottles from the molder to the anneal
ing oven. In some factories the blow
ers are required to furnish their own
boys.

'Tom," said Jack, as they lighted
their cigars after the class reunion din
ner, relates the New York Times, "tell
me something about yourself. What
have you been doing all these years
since you left college?"
"Well, Jack, I've had my ups and
downs. I was just about to start In busi
ness in NewYork when my physician
ordered me to go west for my health."
"Oh! Too bad! I'm sorry to hear
that, old man."
"Well, it wasn't so bad, either. I
started a ranch in Arizona and made a
good deal of money."
"I'm glad to hear that, Tom. That
was fine."
"Well, I don't know abtnit that; it
wasn't so good, either, for after I'd been
running the ranch awhile a murrain
came along and killed off most of my
stock."
"Too bad, too bad!"
"Well, it wasn't so bad. after all, for
it drove me from ranching to Denver,
and in Denver I met the girl who was
fated to become my wife."
"Congratulations, old boy; that was
fine."
"Well, I don't know; it wasn't so fine,
either, for she turned out to have quite
a temper, and 6he didnl make me very
happy. "
"Awfully sorry to hear It, old chap.
That must have been a blow. That was
bad, bad."
"Well, it wasn't so bad, either. We
were scratching along, living on next
to nothing, when my wife's uncle died
and left her a lot of money. We built a
nice home of our own and moved in."
"That was good luck, old man, now,
wasn't it?"
"Well, it wasn't so good as it sounds;
it didn't last long. We hadn't he-en in
the house six months before it took
fire one night and was burned to the
ground."
"Wasn't that hard luck! Too bad,
too bad!"
"Well, I don't know; It wasn't so bad,

"How so?"
"My wife was burned up with the
house."

RELICS FOUND IN PARIS.
Fosall Remain Unearthed In Eics
f vatlng for an Indergroand
Railroad.
Geologists, naturalists and paleontolo
gists have been supplied with new doc
uments by the excavations and subter
ranean galleries made during the con
struction of the, Paris Metropolitan un
derground railroad, which is rapidly
converting the suIieoII of the capital
into a sort of gigantic rabbit warren.
With commendable foresight M. Bien
venu, the engineer in charge of the
work, ha given instructions to all la
borers under his orders to report at
once any relics, bones, animal or vegeta
ble remains, they may discover, says a
Paris correspondent of the Nw York
Tlrms.
The underground operations of the
Metropolitan system are as yet not half
completed, but already seven or eight
hundred interesting objects have been
unearthed, and Bcientista are employed
by the city to collect and classify them.
Teeth of the squall hare been dug up be
neath the Place de 1 'Opera and 4n a
stratum of the chalk heights of Mout
rnartre a gang of workmen found the
skeleton and trunk of a mammoth. At
Grenelle a couple of laborers discovered
the skeleton of a mammoth mixed up
with those of a rhinoceros, hippopota
mus and an antediluvian hull. Sharks'
teeth are found In profusion.
At Moulineaux the bones of a huge
tapir and oiisary fragments that seem
to have formed part of the skeleton of a
gigantic bird he been brought to
light. Beneath the Place de la Bastile
layers of barnacles and mussels have
been discovered imbedded in silex. Vast
deposits of gypsum have also been dis
covered, and the geological formation
of the, beds is such as to lead scientists
to the conclusion that Paris was once
perforated with thermal spring like
the geysers of Iceland.
No vestiges of antediluvian man have
yet been discoverod, such as were found
some years ago In the caves near Men
ton, but the French geologists are
keenly alive to the opportunities afford
ed by the excavations of the Metropol
itan railway, and hope to find human re
mains of the Urtiary period. Special
instructions have ben given to the
workmen to look out not only for hones
and relics, but also for traces or Im
prints on rocks of any animals, for M.
Berthelot, the eminent chemist, who
eagerly follows the progress of the ex
cavations from a scientific standpoint,
declares that, owing to the radio-activity
of certain bodies, It would by no
mean be Improbable to discover In the
subterranean strata of Paris images
a sort of natural cliches, as It were of
antediluvian life traced upon walls of
rock.

and less Greek,' as was said of Shake
speare," remarked one man to another,
as hetookaseat inaWestport car, relates
the New York Sun. "Do you know that
I have figured that I have put in TO per

There Is a hilly and indefinite locality
on the border land of Poland and Ray
mond known as the B'.ackcat. Tradi
tion says that this name was bestowed
on the lrx-ality because in prehistoric
times a wandering hunter from th const
settlements nue upon a gigantic black
wildcat ar.d had a terrific battle with
him somewhere in these hills. In ccurpo
if time the country bersme settl d, hut
he ncoikctlon of this battle clung to

A man traveling this section a year
or two since observed that all the Inhab
itants werp lame, or seemed to be, and
even the cows had "a slouch In their
gait." This so impressed him that he
asked a native whom he met the cause of
it. . The native looked at the stranger
and thn at the surrounding hills and
and then answered: "Wall, you see.
