The highest railway in the world is now being einstructed on Piko's Peak, Colorado, U.S. The lina will run to au altitude of 14,290 fout above the sea level, and will be a marvellous fent of eugiseeride skill, the 30 miles of rond being a enccession of complicated carres, with no straight trock longer than 300 font. The maxi-Lazon Sugar Rafning Company, Limited-$80 mum gradient will be 316 foet in the mile, nad par share er div." the average about 210 feet.

The Argonaut, of San Francisco, hits off one phrase of modern journalism in this way" a barn fhould blow down it says, "there will be a diagram of the promises, view of the barn before being blown down; view of the baru while being down; view of the ruins; interview with the hired men, who said ha always knowed it was going to blow down; interview with the owner; w his another theories on hang -blowing down; inertion witt Profter, Ming wump, the distinguished Chicage savant, with his views ne to the ranson why barns blow down rather than up; comparative table of harn mortality in this and other States for the last forty years, showing percentage of barns blowing down compared with the illiterata vota; history of low from the earliest times to the present; statement of loss—$300.”

Stadents at the National Gallery are much -- notment by the American visitors who swarm into the place. A lady who was painting there the athor day was favoured with the opinions of nu elderly traveller, "Wall, this is a fine collection. But we're gettin' them, too. I guess we've got the dollars, and we mean to hare the pictures." Hs prattled thus for about ten minutes, and theu said, in a fatherly way, "But get on with your paintia'." It is true about the dollare. At every vale of ậng works of art tho - Amerionu aflator is conspicuous by his purchases. Ho probably, does not know much about pictures, I don't suppose Mr. Vanderbilt has been educated by the large sure he has paid Mesourier But Your America kauwe that money mast beepent on the fine arts pretty liberally, if it is spent atį all. So what he earns in Wall Street he pours
