Braprorn, Pa., Sept. 12.—A resident of Buf- falo. named William Batterson, who has been | loki: after business interests of his in the Kinzua district of the McKean county oil region, gives the particulars of a most extraordinary | adventure which he and his wite and two child- ; Ten had in the Kinzua wilderness a few nights | 2g0, the entire family being saved from a most | horrible death through the merest accident. | | Phe party left Bradford in the evening to drive to | an isolated settlement known as Howard Hill. | where Mr. Batterson has property. The road | | leading to the place runs for the most of the | distance through the deep forests of the region, and is high among the mountains. After leay- | ing the village of Alton the ia especially id and intricate, aud, after driving a long time azh the woods, Mr. Batterson found that had lost his way, and ail his efforts to find a ifare out of the wilderness seemed to ly to plunge him deeper into it.

Mr. Batterson found an old railroad lantern in the, and, lighting it, he prospected through | the woods in the hope’ of finding a road that | would lead them out of the woods. There was | none te be found. About a hundred yards ahead of where he left the carriage he came out upon a railroad track. This was the track ofthe Erie railway’s Bradford branch or Johnsonburg extension. Peeling that neither his wife nor children could osure in the mountains, he onz the railroad track, not- reat danger that attended se, inthe hope of coming to some ng the track orsome station near not know what railroad, it was, nor the chances were of trains coming along re he mizht reach a place of safety. His wife was willing to take the risk with him, and he led the ho: yut upon the track. He then walked ahead with the lizht, and his wife drove ‘along over the tiesafter him. On leither side were the woods and_ high banks. | There was no way to eseape should a train ap-- | pear. They had proceeded nearly a mile with- | out finding any crossing or place where they | nt turn out. Then Mr. Batterson took his wife and children from the carriage, so that they {might climb the bank or get into the woods j away from danger if a train was heard ap- ching. Heled the horse, and they fol- n foot at the side of the track. After ing in this way for a hundred yards or came to a bridge, on one side of which arrow plank walk, the railroad track oc- ys the rémainder of the bridge. This was | res , the great Kinzua Viaduct, which spans a ravine at the bottom of which flows the Kinzua creek. This bridge is the highest railroad bridge in the world, being 303 feet above the ereek. It is nearly half a mile long. Mr. Batterson and his family were now in’a situation the peril of | which was too apparent, and the uncertainty of which filled them with terror. They were entirely ignorant as to where the bride would lead them if they ventured to cross it, but knew it was madness to remain where they were. Mr. Batterson at last determined to attempt the | crossing, trusting to Providence for the result. | He succeeded in getting his horse on the foot- | | path. The wheel on one side of the carriage | nded over on to the track and bumped over | the ti Mr. Batterson at first sugested abandon- | ing the horse and carriaze, but his wife would | {not hear of it, taking the ground that their presence on the track might lead to a disaster | | on the railroad. ‘The horse was led stowly for- | | ward on the bridge, and Mrs, Batterson and the children followed close behind the carriage.

A delay of one minute in making | their way through the passage would have been fatal to the entire party. When the full force of | the peril to which they had been exposed and the narrow escape they had made broke upon | | her, Mrs. Batterson fainted away. Mr. Batter- | | son himself was so unnerved that it was some | | time before he could summon aid. They found ' shelter at Sweet's boarding-house, at the sta- tion, where all were soon revived. They ascer- tained that Howard's Hill was only four miles trom the station.

From the Milwaukee Sentinel. | Instead of time-tables being changed with | pen and paper, as many suppose, the entire run- | ning arrangements of ail passenger and freight | trains, their crossing of other tracks or passaze | of other trains, stops, and lost time are catcu- | lated by simple, common pins and spoois of dif- | ferent colored threads. Before a time-table or |schedule is prepared, the time-chart is rst | perfected. To prepare a time-chart a large piece of drawing paper 1s first stretched jon @ smooth surface and mounted on an leasel. The chart is ruled either for two. | five or ten-minute time by horizontal li and perpendicular cross lines. The “tim is marked above the horizon | distances, or stations and terminals, dowa the ‘first: perpendien line. For illustration, 12 | midnight is the mark on the first horizontal | | line. and each hour is marked until the twenty: fourth, or the following midnight hour, is reached on the last horizontal line, Between | the hour lines the space is divided into minutes | and graduated as fine as desired. Ona two- minute chart the space between the hours is. | divided into ten minutes’ time, and the ten minutes’ time into two minutes’ time. The hour lines are made heavy, and the lesser lines | are of a lighter shade to distinguish them. The ‘one terminus of the road—Milwaukee, for in- | stance—is marked on the first line beside the | first time mark 12 midnight. The other sta- | tions toliow down the perpendicular line until | the other terminal ts reached. Then all is ready to prepare for the running | arrangement; provided the pins and threads are | ready. A biue thread means @ passenger train, | a red thread a freight train, and if the trains of | other roads use part of the track they are desig- | nated vy a different colored thread. It is caleu- lated that the running time shall be, say, twenty- | five miles an hour, and for the purpose of tllus- | tration the tracing of one passenger train will | answer the purpose of explaining them all. A | passenger train leaves Milwankee at 8 a.m. The pinis placed on the horizontal line at the 8 a.m. | time-mark and the end of the biue thread fast- ened thereto. If the train runs without stop- |ping for fifty miles, the blue thread is stretched over opposite to the station at which the stop is made, and directly under the 10a. | m. time-imark another pin is stuck, and the blue thread wrapped abont it to keep it taut. If this is a stop, say of forty minutes, the blue thread | isstretched to the 10:40 a.m. mark on a direct line with the same station, and another pin stuck and the blue thread wrapped. The train starts and its entire course is thus gimed and dis- tributed aiong the road. If the railroad has, say forty or sixty passenzers and freight trains running dally, the time-chart, when ft is com- pleted, loags like a great spider's web stretched j out with pins. But little work then remains to transfer the time and stations to the time-table, and the schedule is ready for the pri gstriertillaet Nt 2 Since the opening of the line from Baku to the Black Sea petroieum hes become so chea that it is to be used as fuel for the British fleet.

From ths Chicago Herald. The capital city of Germany has made such immense strides, and has increased so wonder- fully within the last decade, that I have no doubt it will have left Paris far behind by the beginning of the next century. I say this ad- visedly. Within a few years there has sprung up whole new quarters, each one as large as a city itself. There are new streets upon streets of newly built houses, which, tor monumental beauty, so'id masonry, and good taste in archi- tecture, excel anything which Paris can show. The west side of Berlin, espectally, 1s a succes- sion of finely paved streets and houses, many in the midst of gardens or spacious grounds such as no other modern citycan boast of. Speaking of pavements, both in London and in Berlin I was struck with the marvelously perfect condition of the sidewalks and roadbed of the principal business streets. They were as level and as smooth as a billiard table. The immense trafic in them hardly created any noise. But let me tell you of the Stadtbain or city railway in Berlin. It’s the most perfect thing any city in the world has. Compared with this em of elevated railroads there, those of New York look like toys. The main line of this elevated railroad in Berlin traverses the city through the entire length, and leads, of course, through the principal business streets. Then there isa “guertelbahn,” which encircles the whole city, as Is the case in Paris. Now, the y had to buy its entire right of w: a jany houses had to be torn down, and it had to construct the road very substantially. Just imagine a long white wall extending all this length, built very massively, and yet not | clumsily, the surface of which is probably There are depots at rezular intervals, and these depots are, every one ot them, solid stone structures of very pretty design. Underneath these de- pots there is au arcade, whicheis rented, and has been transformed in every instance into a restaurant, beer garden, or store. It is deliciously cool and shady under these arcades, eyen on the hottest days. Gardens or small parks for public use are generally connected with these places. When you are seated there, and a train passes by right over your head, the mason work is so thick that one hears but a low, rumbling sound. I hardly think this ele- vated line is profitable as yet, but I believe the elty has guaranteed the company against any Joss, and, as far as tlie convenience of the public is concerned, nothing more perfect could be imagined. npare this with the infernal noise, the ever- lasting smoke, the filth and the ungainly sight which the New York elevated roads occasion. “There are a good many things that have struck me ascurious.” continued the veteran journal- ist, ‘and one of these is the fact that, whereas wooden pavements have proved such a miserable failure in almost every American city, and in Chicago in particular, they have proved an im- Tense succe lin.” Strange Expertences Pythons and Cobras. in India with From Chambers’ Journal. Apropos of Dr, Stradling’s interesting snake anecdotes in your Journal (Nos. 966 and 969), I send you a note illustrative of the danger of handling certain kinds of snakes. Out here, in- dividuals of one sect of fakirs—religious mendi- cants—are freqently met with wearing young and tame pythons as necklaces. One such ani- mal took the fancy of an officer and for a few rupees was transferred from the fakir’s neck to his; and for some time both were on very good terms. One day our friend sat down to break- fast with the python round his neck, a thing he had never before done; ‘the tail of the animal came across the arm of the chair and instinctively coiled round it. The leverage thus obtained seemed to revive aif'an ounce of ground cinnamon, and | WS With difficulty that they could keep their | its memories of victim-squcezing, and in a mo- Let the vine- | ment the officer was in the pangs of strangula- tion, bound iast to his chair and the awful coil of the python around his neck. But in that supreme moment of horror appalling he re- tained his nerve; with his left hand he seized the reptile’s head and with his right grasped @ table-knife, and was just able to inflict a cash behind its head, and then the suffocating coils fell back. The officer was afterwards found prostrate on the floorin a dead faint, from which he only recovered to be seized with brain fever, the delirium of which was entirely occu- pied with encounters with monstrous serpents. In course or time he recovered, but no one could recognize in that pallid. gray-headed and careworn shadow of a man the once stalwart, hearty and enthusiastic sportsman. other note to illustrate the extreme danger of handling even dead snakes. Major Dennys, a police otficer in the Central Provinces, was recently out shooting and killed a large cobra. His companion asked to seo its poison fangs, and Major Dennys, seizing the head with one hand, opened its jaws with the other to exhibit the fangs, which, in the approaching rigidity of death, closed on his finger. Aware of his awful risk, he sucked his finger and hastened home. But ali assistance was unavailing; he died in three hours. Tonce kept and freely handled a snake de- clared to be innocuous; it escaped, and after much searching could not be tound. Presently my boy tan up with tears in his eyes, declaring that his tnree pet rabbits were all dead; and, true enouh, they were so, and quite rigid. Coiled up in the hutch was the missing snake which my boy and I had so frequently handled! The handling of snakes is often unavoidably forced upon us by the extraordinary and often- times incomprehensible positions in which snakes are frequently encountered. We are apt to fancy that snakes are essentially groveling creatures, forgetting that their ventral scales give them admirable facilities for climbing. Unless you recognize this fact, it 1s difficult to understand how snakes get into the roofs of up- country bungalows, which are supported by smooth and whitewashed walls and pillars; how pou meet them onthe upper shelves of your ookcases, or in other apparently inaccessible situations. But when you meet snakes in the act of as- cending trees, and apparently with nothing to hold on by, you are resigned to your fate, and are prepared for sanguine encounters anywhere and everywhere. If you area lady you must not be surprised—as my wife was—at a deadly snake dropping out of the sleeve of your velvet jacket, which your ayah was helping you on with, that jacket havin previously hung from a wall-peg, leaving it three or four feet fromthe ground. r, if you are going out calling, must you be astonished if a cobra looks in upon you from the double roof of your brougham. How did the one snake ascend the smooth wall and get into the Jacket? How did the other pass up the smooth and glass-like sides or weds of the brougham and get into its double roof? I migét adduce illustrations by the score of these strange rencontres, and they show us how we must always beon our guard against snakes. Yet it is marvelous that, among Europeans, we very rarely hear of deaths trom snake-bite, while the bare feet and legs of natives leave them frequently and fatally open to attack. ‘The Trotter Not an Accident. “Tt is but a short time, 1 know,” said Gen.

A letter from Pekin té the St. Petersburg Messenger says: : = To beable to eat’well means, inthe China- man’s opinion, tobe happy. All his cares, trou- bles, and desires center !n the same point, namely, good eating. Thue, everybody the world over takes care to satisfy his appetite in the best possible way. But the Chinese differ from other people in the philosophy of the sub- Ject. They hold that’ only the satiated man can be wise, and those wlio cannot make themselves full are surely fools.’ Their most sacred philo- sophical and medical treatises deal with the stomach as the principal source of the spiritual, moral and physical life of man. The head, in their opinton, Isa poor dependent on the bounty of the stomach. Not the head, but the stom- ach, ought to be crowned. They hold asa car- dinal axiom that the stomach isthe spring of every thought, feeling and muscular action. He who does not eat loses all energy. Man differs from wood and stone only because he fills up his stomach. They look upon Dr. Tanner's forty days’ fast as aclever trick. They assert that the American doctor deceived the public by drink- ing some colorless nutritious substances dis- solved in water. Otherwise, they argue, he would necessarily turn first an idiot and then a corpse. When we ponder on some difficult subject we often touch or rub our forehead. Under the same circumstances the Chinaman puts his fin- sers below his belt. By touching his abdomen he facilitates his mental process. In view of the supremacy of the stomach theChinese came to the conclusion that the better it Is filled the wiser is Its possessor; hence fatness and corpu- lence are the best mirror of the mind, the best Indication of superior intellect. And, as wis- dom brings man to a blissful state andtoa heavenly beatitude, therefore the Chinamen re- gard extraordinary stoutness as a symbol of the future heavenly state. The idol of Buddha- Shahemuny, the idol of supreme beatitnde, is represented as an abnormally fat man, with a smile of perfect satisfaction. " There is no need to put any sign under theidol. for without words everybody would read in its looks that “1 am quite fall.” The superior spiritual advisers of the Buddhists are distinguished for their corpu- lence. Iam told there are divines amongst them who devour a whole sheep for breakfast! No wonder they regard the severe fasting of the Christian hermits as a hopeless folly. Now, what are the agencies which bring the Chinaman to his blissful state? They are mani- fold; yet beef, milk and dairy products in gen- cral are strictly excluded from the list. About twenty centuries ago in the Celestial Empire here was established ox worship, as a reward for the great assistance in agriculture rendered by that horned animal. Then it was forbidden to kill either ox or cow. It hecame also asacred habit to leave the cow’s milk exclusively for the calves, to whom it rightfully belonged. China- men do not use the milk of sheep or she goats, though they are very fond of the meat of these animals. But, then, they are exceedingly fond of woman’s milk. The well-to-do parents often keep wet-nurses for their children up to the seventh and even ninth year. Sometimes even men of age, and particularly old_men, resort to woman's milk either as an article of luxury or asa dietetic means. Among rich Chinamen itis apceint of pride to keep a number of wet- nurses. Ofthe rich Celestial it may be truly said that “he ls worth so many wet-nurses,” a8 of the rich Mohammedan that ‘he {s worth so many wives,” or of the American that “he is worth so many dollars.” No Chinese woman would milk a cow, for such practice, in her opinion, would stain forever her chastity. Excluding beet and dairy products, Chinamen eat everything that is edible, horses and ass flesh, snakes, rats, mice, dogs, grasshoppers, spiders, worms, cocoons, sea-cucumbers, swal- lows’ ne ind soon. Once, while living in a villa near Pekin, I saw a very strange scene, There appeared a cloud of grasshoppers. Sud- dently the field was covered with Chinamen who ran frantically hither and thither, gathering them in. They filled large sacks and bags with the insects, They carried portable stoves on which they roasted their curious game. Other Chinamen greedily devoured the grasshoppers, paying a penny for ten. At the head of all meats Chinamen put, ot course, pork. In their opinion, to the hog be- longs the first place in the list of domestic ani- mals. If yon ask a Chinaman why, he will answer you proudly: ‘Because ft was the hog from which the Chinaman descended!” Don’t you see, the Celestials have beaten Darwin on the theory of the descent of man. It is only na- tural, then, that among Chinamen hogs should oy full rights of citizenship. Like dogs, they ander wherever they please. A Chinese street withont a number of hogs {s_an impossibility. Are there many hogs in China? I shou'd tiink so. Ona single holiday in memory of their an- cestors—not the original ancestors, the hog, but merely human ancestors—the Celestials eat fully 650,000 hogs. I must admit that Chinese pork is superior to any found elsewhere on the globe. Poor Chinamen who cannot afford to buy pork eat meat of dogs, asses, horses, rats, mice, rabbits, hares, goats and sheep. But I never saw them eating cats. Of bird’ the Chinese eat silver pheasants, ducks, geese, chickens, Jackdaws, crows and mapy others. Curiously enough, the so-called Cochin-China fowls are very rarely seen here. Salt eggs are in great use here. Among the choice delicacies of the Chinese must be mentioned the fins of sharks and the nests of sea swallows. Under the latter is un- derstood not the whole nest, but only the muci- laginous inner coating of the nests. It 1s be- Neved that the swallows who build their nests on the sea rocks cover their nests and glue them to the rocks with the juice of sea cane, which, on being dried, looks like mucilaginous membrane. On the market these nests are found in the shape of a hemisphere of the size ofa half orange peel. The nests are sold here at from $15 to $25 per pound. They are used principally for making broth, to which they give a peculiar aroma and taste, much valued by gastronomes. Rice stands, of course, at the head of vegeta- ble foods. Without rice gruel no meal is served here. *‘Fan” means both ‘to have a meal” and “to eat rice gruel.” The brown rice, which is common rice, but heated and musty, Is much liked. There {s also a red variety of rice. Honey is much used here, but chiefly as a cos- metic. After being mixed with flour it is used by the women in their hair dressing. With their hair saturated, sticky and shining with honey, they must be indeed ‘sweet. As everybody knows, the Chinese are passion- ately fond of tea, which they cultivate for the rest of the world. They drink it at every meal, at home and out, when idle and at work, in shops and in offices—in short, everywhere, and at any time of day or night. Thered, black and green sorts of tea they prepare only for export, while they themselves use exclusively yellow tea. They take tea in smallcups, and without sugar. Though in China there are excellent sorts of grapes, yet no wine {8 prepared there. The Chinese make two kinds of whisky, of sargo and of rice, and drink a good deal of it. Women alse drink and smoke here. A tin gill ofthe shape of an hour-glass is used for whisky-drink- ing. They had ®o glass works here until re- cently, when an American gentleman taught some Celestials to make glass. During my thirty years’ residence here J have never seen a single drunken Chinaman og the street. No coffee or chocolate is used here.
