In a certain suburban town the young people decided to form a “literary asso- elation.” Their reason for such a move could, of course, have been but the one— that they had never been identified with anything of the sort before, as any one having had the slightest experience with “literary associations’ fs content to let them alore forever after. Inspired by inexperience, however, these young people called together an initlatory argeting, atthe home of one of the ,inpst. popular young women in the place, and among the “young people” was a young man, Quaker to the backbone, and al- ready noted for his istricts adherence to Friendly principles;--especiafly truth tell- ing. “Paradise Lost", wa the piece of Uterature selected for'tritical survey, but, for some reason orother,—it failed to @rouse any great Oor‘witd}” interest. It acted more as a sopefrific:. than a stimu- lant, and after seversl: pages had been read the victims began to feel that they had been badly dupe was, indeed, astonishing how flat agd stupid the great epic managed to appear under such condi- tions. Everybody was very polite about it, though. ane ‘When after a full Hour Bhd passed the hostess suggested thatdt.was time to stop cries of “No, no, go on. ;It's so enter- taining!" were heard/all over the room. Even after two hours of the infliction had been gore through with nobody raised a murmur of dissent. ‘'Dhe hestess, as lead- er, however, thought {f best to get the in- dividval opinions of those present, so she Proceeded to ask each in'turn if he or she thought it worth while. to continue the Meetings. And each one courteously re- plied that never had he or she spent a more enjoyable evening. Why, you might have supposed that “Paradise Lost,” par- ticularly as presented under prevailing con- ditions, appealed far more to all of them than the frothiest bit of society verse ever whipped together. Everybody begged that such charming meetings might be continued indefinitely. Presently it came the turn of the Quaker young man. “Of course, I don’t want ™my opinion ‘to influence thee,” he said when the question was put to him, “and it is plain that the others do not feel as I do. But for myself,” looking with limpid gaze straight into his hostess’ eyes, “I should rever care to pass ancther evening in this way as long as I live.” Se THE CRETAN STRUGGLE] THIRDRAILELECTRICSYSTEM | THE NEW SCHOOL YEAR What is Said in the East of the Turkish | Important Transportation Experiments in | Educational Institutions in and About Wash- Atrocities, Alleged Find of a Titian—Trade in Greek Antiquities — American Capital in British Ships. Correspondence of The Evening Star. PATRAS, Greece, September 9, 1996. The sound money party should have sent a spec‘al agent to those European countrizs where the currency has depreciated. A visit te Greec2 or Italy would be a valuable ebject lesson to the anti-gold bugs. In Greece a drachma, whose face value is twenty cenis, is worth twelve usually, though values fluctuate every day, almost every hour. In Italy if the government officiais can avoid being paid in Italian money they invariably do so. Throughout Greece there is a great re- joicing over the partial victory won by Crete in her recent revolution. The new organic law, comprising a scheme of re- forms for Crete, proposed by the powers and sanctioned by the sultan, was pro- muigated September 3. In accordance with the demands of the Christian population, it provides that two-thirds of the public func- tionaries shall be Christians; that the rev- enue derived from the importation of to- bacco shall remain in the island, end thai arrears of deficits incurred by expenditure not sanctioned by the Cretan assembly shall be a charge upon the porte. ‘The new assembly will meet six months after the sanction of the new regime, in conformity with the law of 18S%. Mean- while the reforms will be provisionally car- ried out by the gcvernor, who is a Cretan, and a council, their due execution be.ng guaranteed by the powers. The representa- lives of the powers propose the levying, un- der the control of the consuls, of a c' toms surtax, the proceeds of which are to be employed in compensating the inhabit- ants for losses suffered by them in the late disturbances. The Armenian Question. The Turkish atrocities in Armenia are much worse than the Spanish cruelties in the Island of Cuba. A gifted Englishman, who {s in direct communication with Con- stantinople, says of the Armenans: ‘They certainly are not heroes, or they would have found means ere this to hang the sul- tan from his own bed room window. When Greece was under the heel of the Turk the chitdren of the men of Thermopylae knew how to exact vengeance for vengeance; and for every Greek slain they slaughtered ten s.

He asked: “Why is it that you all submit to such slavery? You are rich, and money is power!” The most powerful Armenian in the group iurned pale and whispered: “Do not mention such things aloud, but we are crganizing for a revolu- tion that will come with force, provided we are not found out until we are ready to strike. Then Europe will be appalled!” The plans were discovered by the sultan and his emissarles before they were ready, and the Insiant wholesale recent massacre was the result. The half has not been told of these massacres in America. Safd to Be a Titian. Recently I saw in a home ‘here two paint- ings which have been heirlooms in the family many years. Feeling I was in the presence of two masterpieces, I started an investigation, which resulted in an expert expressing the opinion that one was a genuine Ti:ian! So far as I know anything of the works of that great artist, the pic- ture is undoubtedly his. Both"belong to the school of the Italian Renaissance. The one thought to be the work of Titian represents David after his victory over Goliath, sur- rounded by a group cf women, who are at once congratulating him and ministering to his wants. He holds the head of Go- liath, wiich shows the mark made by the stone and bears the wonderful imprint of death. David's head and those of the more beautiful of the women are crowned witi the ruddy locks Titian loved to paint. Tue other painting is a life-sized portrait of a Doge of Venice. In spite of the law about Greek antiau'- ties, a great business is done in them here. Sometimes they are genuine antiquities and sometimes they are not! The British Museum paid, I think, £30,000 or $150,000 for the latest genuine entiqu which le‘t Greece. Some workmen were digging near the walls of the old Venetian Castle, wh. stands on a picturesque hill, overlooking this city of Patras. They struck something hard and dug up one of the white marble “danc'ng fauns,” two of which are men- tloned as standing near the‘entrance to the Temple of Demeter. There is an antiquity frem the same hill, long since the property of a Liverpool currant firm, which will be offered to the Corcoran Art Gallery next winter. Currants for This Country. Last year this port alone shipped $1,000,- © worth of currants to America. This year large shipments are being made. It appears that the currant vines transplant- ed from here to California bore curants the first year. Three snips are now getting currants here for New York, Boston, Chi- cago and San Francisco. These ships are owred in New York, but fly under the British flag! They are also officered by En- glishmen. There ore about ten genuine British boats after currants in harbor, and the union jack is everywhere. I wish the stars and stripes ficated as proudly over every sea. Fruits here are delicious and very cheap. Bunches of grapes welghing several pounds hang down in luscious and abundant clus- ters from every grape vine. Figs, peaches, pears, melons of every variety are brought in every morning by countrymen, in huge panniers strapped to the backs of docile Uttle donkeys. The flowers grow every- where in profusion. The pink and white oleander, which we cultivate, flourishes wild and grows to be a large tree. It ts covered with blossoms. Geraniums are al- most as large as trees, and roses, fuchslas, dahllas and many beautiful flowers new to us abound in the large gardens in and around Patras. The harbor is deep enough for the largest ships that float. It is protected on all sides, except where it Joins the Ionian sea and Gulg of Corinth, by ranges of magnificent mountains, about every one of which there is a tradition or romantic story to be told, as old as Homer and as interesting as the Iiad! —. What There is in Sali Lake. From the St. Louls Globe-Democrat. Say Salt Lake {s 100 miles long; average width, 27 miles; average depth, 20 feet. ‘Then 100 times 27 equals 2,700 square miles, equals 75,271,680,000 square feet; times 20 equals 1,505,433,600,000 cubic feet. Now, 16 2-3 per cent of the contents of the lake, “according to the analysis of eminent chem- ists,” is salt and sulphate of soda, equaling 250,905,600,000 cuble feet. Of this, one- eighth, or 31,363,200,000 cubic feet, is sul- phate of soda, equaling (at 50 pounds to the foot) 1,568,160,000,000 pounds, equaling 784,- 080,000 tons, equaling 7#,408,000 car loads of soda at ten tons cach. Again, seven-eighths, or 219,542,400,000 cubic feet, is salt, equaling (at 80 pounds to the foot) 17,560,339,200,000 pounds, equaling 8,780,169,600 tons, equaling 878,016,960 cars of salt. Therefore, “taking thirty feet as the total length of a freight car and its couplings” (a very moderate figure), we would have a train of soda 445,500 miles long, and a train of salt 4,988,720 miles long, “or long enough to reach 196 times around the earth and leave an 8,000-mile string of cars over on a side track.’ While our brains ere reeling over these figures we are ready to accept without & murmur the further demonstration that the sulphate of soda which we have men- tally seen produced is worth $15,681,600,000, and that the salt has a money value of $87,- 801,696,000, making the great total of $108,- 483,296,000. | New England. Description of the P! Tried on the Na Beach Road. Now Being ket Menticn was made in The Star of a few daye since that President Clarke of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Rail- road Company in his annual report just is- sued of the operations of his line stated that experiments made under the direction of the company’s electrical department, with a third rail, had developed very satis- factory results in electrical propulsion of cars. A letter received in Washington from a leading official of the Nantasket Beach road, where experiments were also made on a larger scale with the third rail, says that in a recent test a speed of eighty miles an hour was speedily attained. “At one time,” the writer states, “it seemed as if the sharp blasts of wind ~)-e« about to tear every inch of clothing .® n the body.” This exhibition of the possibilities of the subtle current in {ts application to rail transportation was incidental to a very satisfactory test of what is known as the third rail system, which has been instaled on the line of the South Shore branch of the Old Colony division between Nantasket junction and East Weymouth, a distance of three and one-half miles. For the first time in the history of electrical developments a surface car was propelled by means of this new device. In determining upon the extension of the company’s electrical system to East Wey- mouth the overhead trolley system was abandoned and the third rail method of con- tact adopted as the one most readily adapted to ordinary railroad requirements. The third rail is of a peculiar shape, the end view resembling a flattened A. It is laid midway between the two service rails of each track. Each section of the third rail Is thirty feet long and weighs ninety- three pounds to the yard. It is supported by three ash blocks to each section, the blocks being let into the ties. Before use the blocks are boiled in vacuum pans with a tar compound, and thus each pore is filled with insulation and preservative material. ‘The insulation is almost perfect. The con- tinuity of the third rail circult is secured by attaching each end of one rail to that of the next by means of two heavy copper bands, The tine between Nantasket junction and Weymouth Is absolutely dis*inct, electri- cally, from that between the firs: named station and Pemberton. It is fed .by its own fecders «nd provided with iis own automatic safety appliances, which, in case of carelessness or accident .o third rail section, enter into action and cut all elec- endering it nothing moze : laid stretch of track. The electri is taken from the third rail irg shoes hung loosely from the uspended between the ales of truck, immediately under the king- pin, by two links, which allow it to slide easily over the top of the third rail and meke perfect contsct with it all the time. The current { to the motors through the c and cireait break- ers and returns to the track rails by the wheels. The cont y of the retura cir- cuit is secured by using a short, thick bond of copper cable to joir togeth of each pair of track rails, bord being fastened into the flange of the rail. The distance Hetween each of the two shoes on the cars is thirty-three feet. No third :ail being laid at the crossings, the circuit is continued betw broken us of lead-covercd cables, At y feet wide one in contact; at wider moving car brings again before the the ends he end of the ones the impetus of the shoes into contact cat can come to a rest. A good idea of the advantage of tricity as a mctive power, compared steam, may be gathered from the that the two locemotives burn each tons of coal per day, while no more than four tons per day burned in the power hovse serves to generate sufficient power tu cperate the whole seven miles of line between Pemberton and ket junc- tion by electricit; > NOT THE GREATEST ON EARTH. The Northwestern Railway of Eng- land Beaten by the Pepnsylvan The visit of some of the officials of the London and Nerthwestern Railway Com- pany of England to this country on an ex- tended trip has attracted much attention throughout the United States, and it has been stated in many quarters that they rep- resent the largest corptration on earth. Such is not the fact. It is true that the road is a mighty concern, but it does not begin to cempare with the magnitude of the Pennsylvania railway. The London and Northwestern Railroad Company has a capital cf 100,000, a revenue of $6,500 an hour, 2”) engines and 60,000 employes, and repairs that cost $130,- 600 a month. From these figures it is easy to see that the Northwestern is a great property, but when compared with the > iS not entitled to the claim greatest on earth.” On the contrary, it sinks Into insignificance when contrasted with the Pennsylvania railroad, 7 Pennsylvania has a capital of $S57,- ™), and over 12,000 miles of trac! traversing th:rteen states. It has 3,756 loco- motives, which consume 20,000 tons of coal a day and make runs equal to the distance around the globe every two hours. It has 35 passenger cars, 1 i ”) Pullman cars, 241 other car: struction and other purpo: making a total of 158,524 cars, which make a journey equal to the circumference of the earth every eight minutes. The locomotives and cars, if placed on a single track, would reach from New York to Chicago, or ten times the distance from Philadelphia to New York. The rails of the Pennsylvania railroad, if laid end to end, would encircle the globe and overlap about 4,000 miles. The total annual revy- enue of the road is_ $15,000,000, equal to $372,506 a day, and $15,525 every hour of the day and night, which is two and a half times as much as that of the Northwestern of England. The Northwestern boasts of 60,000 em- ployes, but ihe Pennsylvania has over 1*#),- 000, who, with their families, make up a total of about iW,000 persons dependent for living upon the $60,000,000 it distributes in wages every year. Last year the Pi sylvenia Railroad Company moved 14,295, 206,375 tons of freight per mile, and carried 1 $91,050 passengers. The freight car- ried was equal to a ton around the world every minute of the year. The money in- vested in the property is equal to a double line of silver 8,000 miles in length. In 189 the Pennsyivania company owned 5 per cent of all the railway mileage in the United States, 10% per cent of all the loco- motives, 1114 per cent of all the freight cars, and had 13 per cent of all the railway employes upon its pay rolls. It carried 11 per cent of all the passengers who travel- ed by rail in the year 1805, and its earn- ings were 112-5 per cent of all the earn- ings of all the roads In the country. Like the Great Northwestern, the Penn- sylvania makes almost everything it use and with its plants could build a locomotiv: every day in the year, if it chose to do so. ee Eating Slowly. Frem the Troy Times. The opinion that hurry in eating is a pro- lific cause of dyspepsia 1s founded cn com- mon observation. The ill-results of bolting food have been attributed to the lack of | like m thorough mastication and to the incomplete action of the saliva upon the food. Two- thirds of the food which we eat is starch, and starch cannot be utilized in the system as food until it has been converted into sugar, and this change is principally ef- fected by the saliva. But there is a third reason why rapidity of eating interferes with digestion. The presence of the saliv- ary secretions in the stomach acts as a stimuius to the secretion of the gastric juice. Irrespective of the mechanical func- tion of the teeth, food which goes into the stomach incompletely mingled with saliva passes slowly and imperfectly through the process of stomach digestion. Therefore, as a sanitary maxim of no mean value, teach the children to eat slowly, and in giving “this instruction by example the teacher, as well as the pupil, may receive benefit. -oo-_____ $1 matting-top tripod tables, 4® cents, at Moses’ Se sale.—Advt. ington.
