THE PROGRESS AND PROSPECTS OF THE TRANS-SIBERIAN RAILWAY..
·
In point of magnitude and cost the Trans- Siberian Railroad is certainly the greatest engineering work of the age, according to figures furnished by the Russian Imperial finistry of Ways of Communication, the total cost of the railway will be $500,000,000, of which about $295,000,000 has licen already-ex pended. It is considered that this lavish outlay is justified by the fact that the work, when completed, will make available the resources of a country whose wealth has never been told. The day has gone by when the word Siberia was suggestive only of barren wastes' and an outlawed population. Such opening up of the country as has already been accomplished, and the reliable testimony of various explorers, have dispelled this illusion and raise a reason. able expectation that Siberia will have a future comparable only to the development which followed the completion of the railroad system of the United States to the Pacific seaboard.
The two most important sections of the Trans-Siberian road are practically completed

Eleven of the valuable models of American warships have been injured during their trans ponation from New York to Harve on the auxili. ary cruiser "Prairie." The medels were inclosed in glass cases which were packed in wooden boxes and stowed in the hold. During the voyage the rolling and pitching of the ship cancel them to shift, with the result that the glass was brolien and this in turn broke and scratched the models, cutting their rigging and otherwise injuring them. The model of the "Otympia" suffered the greatest damage. Iting, C. C. was thought at first that it would be necessary to have workmen sent from the Washington Savy Yard to repair the miniature vessels, but the French government offered Assistant Naval Constratetor Gillame didifties for doing this work at the shipyard at Cherturg, which pro position was accepted. It is probable that the resips will be of a temporary character.

One of these ex- tenils from Chehabsk in the West of Siberia to a point which is only 120 miles from the northwestern frontier or Manchuria; the other section extends from Kamborovsk to Vladiva stock. These two sections have a combined length of about 3.250 miles. If to this be added the aggregate length of various branch lines which are completed, or nearly so, there is a grand total of 4.300 miles of road which will aussi la plazed in operation. According to the official port alive mentioned, it was de termined that for the present, the stations and various yard buiklings, and in fact, the general constraction of the line above sub-grade, should be built as cheaply as was consistent with safety and the suic arcessities of trathc.

BLACE POTTERY.
The dull black of antique terra-cotta, in which the Greeks excelled, has always appealed to the refined taste, whilst gay bright colours enjoyed more general favour. The black was produced by mixing finely powdered carbon with the clay. Of late, the clay has been im- prognated with hydro-carbons, under the ex- clusion of air, of course. When this operation is not conducted very carefully, a crust of graphite will deposit on the outside of the object. In the industrial articles which are now manufactured, chiefly in Germany, this crust is rather advantageous, as it increases the impermeability of the clay. In objects of art, however, which mostly come from Denmark it is undesirable Le Chatelier has recently observed that the black colouring is much deeper and more uniform when the clay contains, or is mixed with, about 2 per cent. of iron oxide. It need not be pure oxide; the ferruginous sands of Rambervilliers, for instance gave excellent results, and a mixture with green sand answers well likewise. The iron oxide apparently facilitates the dissociation of the carbonic oxide and of the hydrocarbons, so that the decomposition takes place at lower temperature. Le Chatelier experiment ed with acetylene, and he kept his objects in an atmosphere of that gas for about, a quarter of an hour. His communication to the French Academy does not state the size of the objects with which he dealt. The temperature must rigorously be main tained between 450 and 480 deg. Cent, When the temperature is too low, the impregna tion is not sufficiently rapid; when too high, an irregular coating of graphite forms on the outs side of the clay. The objects are terwards baked in crucibles, packed with powdered char- coal or coke. For the sandy clay of Ramber villiers he found a temperature of 1200 deg. Cent. most suitable for this baking; the clay then assumed a hardness approaching that of
