NEW TO-DAY Yillard's New Railroad Scheme. render the makin A late number of the London Times gixes the particulars of a plan proposed by Henry VHlard and associates to tdke up the Ore gon and California railroad and complete it from 1 'oseburg south to lieddmg, in California. The bondholders are to exchange their bonds for preferred stock bearing seven per cent, interest. The whole road then is to be mortiraired anew to a syndicate for six mil lions of dollars, or twenty thousand dollars to a mile. The proceeds of the sales of these bonds will be taken to build the road spoken of from Koeburg to Redding, some two hundred and seventy-five miie. At last accounts it was said that this proposition wa well thought of and would likely succeed. Il it does succeed, the Oiegon Rail way and Xavitration companv, in connection with the North Pa cific Railroad company, will have through trains running from Chi cago and the east, to San Francisco by way of Portland, Oregon. g of imitation j MISCELLANEOUS Last Call. mo TAX PAYERS OF .SCHOOL DMrict Tavlfet Hill rvtmtlH lit ih hamlmttilthe 7th i .'iMm. .hi mifmm iaes mi immi iihv v hi he returned : jIh Coumiv CVrfc n delta ftHttt. mmI eM-.wf accrue.

Chamberlain, an English engineer, has invented a new process of lighting. It is called the atmospheric light, and is produced 1)3 a process somewhat like that of maki ng coal ga-. The process has been introduced into the engineering ami boilcr-makiii"-works of a Glasgow firm. A furnace- has been erected within a small shed, and outside the shed is a gasholder. The furnace contains three retorts, and these are sup plied with a combination of miner al oil, water and air, which enter through a small pipe carried from the back to the from of the retort, and the gas finds an exit through a large pipe at the back of the retort. The vapor is conducted to the purifier. Thence it is carried into the gasholders and then led through the old pipes in the works to the v;irious machines and benches in the shop, supplying about 200 burners. The ras is said to give a whiter and more purer light than Ofoal gas, or something between coal gas and the electric light. The odor is not offensive, and it is stated to be freer from de leterious effects on pictures and paper than coal gas. The chief advantages claimed are simplicity of application to public works, country churches, schools and mansions. The cost is said to ln less than one-half that of coal gas. The utility of the new gas, how ever, is still a matter of some speculation, it requiring more extensive experiments to deter mine it. At Jersey City, New Jersey, a new fuel manufactured from steam and petroleum has been tested, with alleged success. The present cost of ccaling a locomotive from New York to Philadelphia is twni-ty-iive dollars, and it is said that, by using the new fuel, a train can be run between the points named for four dollars. This would al most revolutionize railroading. At a fair at Russell, Kansas, on April 13th, a sheep-shearing match will be held by the Central Kansas wool growers, representing 40,000 head of sheep. The shearing is to be done by machinery, and the re sult is expected to demonstrate the value of such machines, as compared with the old method. Recent French papers contain accounts of the automatic machines for making 'hand-made" lace. From these accounts we learn that from 1,S00 to 2,000 spindles are put in movement, and from 200 to 300 pins are used. It is claimed that all kinds of laces hitherto .made by hand can be rapidly turned out, including Valencien nes, Malines, Guipure, Chantilly, etc., and that even the old styles, for which it would be impossible to find workers, can be reproduced the -work of jeveral hundred "-iris being readily done at once. The Statement is made that the Ameri can and English patents can be million dollars lace of the present sort unneces sary.
