Bread That Intoxicates. In far eastern Russia, In that region which lies between the sen and the river called Mssuri, the humidity of the climate as well os o f the soil is re markable. Vegetation Is here distin guished for its wondrous exuberance, to such an extent that the soli never dries up. The result is that the Inhab itants In order to prevent putrefaction o f the roots sow their corn upon a se ries o f layers of the soil. Nevertheless In certain districts the humidity Js so Intense that there grows upon the cars o f corn a kind o f fungous matter made up of micro fungi. As a result of this sporadic excrescence the bread made from the corn in question gives all the results o f an overdose of alcohol. In very humid climates the phenomenon is likewise knowu, though to nothing like the extent o f eastern Siberia, where whole districts are affected by this strange kind o f "alcoholized bread." h i Smith & Announcement is made that t he Har- riman lines have decided to adopt steel passenger cars for the entire system. A large order has already been placed with the Pullman company, and de livery o f cars will commence in 60 days. The cars will be o f different classes and types and will be pnactical- ly all steel. They will be next to indestructible and, it is believed, will tend to reduce the casualties in train wrecks. PETITION FOR LIQUOR LICENSE.
