Captain William Scott, who is building the new line of the National Railroad Company of Mexico from Monterey to San Miguel, says that the construction work is being badly interfered with by droves of deer. According to Captain Scott's state- j ment, the deer make raids on the construction camps and eat up the forage intended for the mules of the graders, j These attacks have become so frequent and bold that it has been found necessary to keep guards posted ; around the camps both day and night to prevent the raids of the herds of j deer. The statement of Captain Scott is confirmed in a letter just received at Austin, Texas, from Frank Poult, who . has a sub-contract on the road. He j says: 4'The country through which this ! new road will pass is simply a hunt- : | ers' paradise. I never* saw ?so many j deer in all my life, and I have been j something of a deer hunter in my j time. "The animals overrun our camps. ! eat up our grub, stampede our mules j and play havoc generally. They are J In such great numbers that there is no ! sport in shooting them. "I and most of the other sub-con- j tractors have issued orders for our i foremen to carry rifles at all . times in ! order to keep the animals from interfeeing with the men's work. The other i tf^ht a bunch of deer, in which there J were several big bucks, entered our | camp and when fired upon by the | guards broke and ran right through i X our rents. "Some of them got tangled up in the tent ropes, and before they could i get away we had captured five of the ! animals alive. We. still have them i here in camp, and if it was not for the expense of getting them to you I would ship them up to Austin. "On another occasion a drove of the animals upset our meal tent and j nearly scared our Mexican cook to i death. The biggest nuisance we have to contend with down here is the wild deer. "I never before knew that these animals have so much curiosity. They beat an old maid in that respect. There are very few settlements in this part of the country, and no deer hunting has ever been done. I suppose that this accounts for the bold- ! ness of 'the animals.

Size and speed are not commonly as| sociated: indeed, one is apt to preclude ; the other. A large horse, for exami pie, is not expected to develop much ! speed. All the more remarkable. , therefore, is King Alar, reputed to be ; the fastest big horse, or the biggest | fi.st horse in the world. King Alar is i seventeen hands high and weighs 1430 | pounds, but notwithstanding his size. | made a trotting record of 2.2G when he was four years old. That was nine : % " /" 1 THE FASTEST BIG HORSE, OR x WC years ago, but this summer he equalled his record on the track at Shippan Point, Stamford, Conn. Moreover, he accomplished this feat without any previous preparation, and those who know him well believe he can do considerably better than this flfgure. Thft follrkTc hvic frha tpm per in the world, and his owner, Miss A. A. Marks, of Sound Beach, Conn., can hitch him up and drive him anywhere. She declares that he can draw a ton at a three-minute gait on a good road. So gentle is he that little children are allowed to play about him in his stall, and he seems to be as fond of them as a big'mastiff do^. Horsemen who liave'seen King Alar have expressed great interest in him as a rare specimen of what one type of American herse should be?large, powerful. and speedy roadsters. SAFETY LAMP. r The inconvenience, not to' say danger, of using unprotected light about gasoline or steam; vehicles, says Automobile Topics, has been frequently dwelt upon. It is a real danger, as experience has proved more than once. Absolute immunity from this, as well HAND LAMP FOR AUIOMCBILE& as great convenience, is attendant upon the use of the hand searchlight illustrated, which is being marketed by a New York firm. It is nothing more nor less than sui incandescent light enclosed in a glass bulb, the current being supplied by the dry batteries or accumulators used for sparking the motor. The lamp is supplied with i.1w 1 ? n 2a. a. sumcieouy iuu^ wjlcs iu cuauit: n 10 be carried to any part of the engine that may need examination.

It is said that low tension electric currents, say under 120 volts, are more deadly than those having ten times the voltage. Dr. Bertelli and Professor Prevost have made the remarkable discovery that high-tension currents are capable of restoring the action of a heart that has been arrested by a low-tension current.

Tennessee. The entrance to'the mines is at the top of the mountain?one of the many parallel ranges of the Cumberlands? and the miners live either on a bench j of the mountain, halfway d#\vn, or in ! the town of Whitwell at the foot. The track on which the coal is car* ried to the railroad running through j Whitwell is a steep incline two and a I I .: i M .'HE BIGGEST i'AST HORSE IN THE >RLD. naif miles in length, -and the miners go up in the empty coal cars to their work in the mine: but to each man's belt is hooked his ''horseshoe," on which he descends to his home again. More properly, it is a maleshoe, being longer than wide. At the toe a notch is cut which fits on the rail. On the shoe is riveted a small square board? the miner's seat. Sitting, then, on this tiny seat, his feet straight out before him, the hollow of a foot'sliding down either side of the ? 1 tet>k^ i METHOD OF SlIDIKO DOWN THE RAIL. rail, and acting as a brake, the little muleshoe grasping that same rail, his arms widespread, dipping up or dawn, to balance him. like a buzzard, swinging and dipping in the air, the Tennes. see miner shoots down that two miles and a half of steep incline at the rate of a mile a minute. A singing as of hissing wires precedes the miners, and they whiz past the observer, one after the other in quick succession. If a man gains too Jast on the one before him, pressure of the brake?his feet?slackens his speed. It dizzies one to watch them, and to think what might happen. Two or three have been killed, but hundreds daily ride the "horseshoe." Those who live on the plateau stop there; the level ground slackens their speed and their brake is all sufficient; but so great momentum has been gained that those who wish to go on glide over this level space, of perhaps 200 yards, to the second stage of the incline below. Who invented this ingenious contrivance we do not know, but, so far as we have been able to discover, it "is in use nowhere else. Oar Mixed Population.

Miss Goelet is here in fancy dress Cleopatra, in which character she attended Mrs. Adair's famous ball in London last spring. It was the most splendid fancy dress ball ever given, and especially so in the matter of jewels. The Countess of Warwick was there as Queen Semiramhs, Lady Randolph Churchill as a Byzantine Empress. and the Princess Hatzfeldt as Queen Esther with stockingless feet and IpwpIs on hpr tops But among all these society leaders none wore such valuable jewels as Miss Goelet. Her headdress was a mass of pearls, diamonds and rubies blazing with colored light. Ropes of pearls hung down on each side of her face. Her neck was encircled with many necklaces, and her arms were laden with bracelets. The Oriental headdress was admfrably suited to her dark type of beauty. The value of her jewels was not less than $300,000, but that is a trifle, for she is the possessor of $30,000,000 worth of New lork real estate. Miss Goelet has been brought up in the British aristocracy. Her aunt. Lady Herbert, is married to the brother of the Earl of Pembroke, head of one of the mo t ancient families in England.

The most northerly railroad in the world was opened recently. For its whole length it lies within the Arctic regions. The greater part of it is in Swedish territory, and only a small part cuts through the narrowest portion of Norway until it reaches the Norwegian port of Narvik. The chief object of the line, which now connects the northern Baltic with the Atlantic, is to open up the rich mineral resources of North Sweden and to carry them cheaply to Narvik. The new railway, which will be known as the Ototen line, is about 140 miles long, and cost about $7,o00,000.?Golden Penny. One-third of the college graduates now are women. . . . .. A ' V, ;.| CORN GROWERS' TROPflY. ' V Handsome Prize Offered For the Best Results in Increasing Crop. "Let every farmer in the seven great corn States give a few winter evenfngs and 480,000,000 bushels will be added to the annual crop of the corn belt."

It is not by any artificial culture he would bring about these apparently gigantic results. He promises and demonstrates that will be realized if the farmer does the simple thing of putting a hundred live kernels in every "liivfrr l%i 11c* \ IUI1 IJ U1IH, His plan requires only the sorting by hand of seed corn into lots of uniform size and the filing of the plates in corn planters in such a way as to drop the required number pf grains in each hill. The Iowa Corn Growers' Association has been formed by farmers who believe in Professor Holden's theory. W. C. Whiting, of Whiting, Iowa, in charge of the Agricultural Division of the Iowa Commission for the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, has personally presented to Ames College and the Corn Growers' Association a trophy valued at $450, which will be awarded annually for seventy-five years for the best results in corn growincr according ? ? : q to Professor Holden's theory. The trophy is entirely unique, representing an ear of corn eighteen inches long, the husks of silver and ear of gold, standing on ail ebony case. Upon the base are four scrolls in silver, decorated by tiny golden ears of corn, upon which will be inscriptions of the names of the winners of the object for which the cup was given. London Baths. The Lancet has taken up a new crusade, this against Loudon hotel keepers. who, the paper asserts, charge inordinate'prices'for their baths. American travelers are only too familiar with the prices charged for the morning tub. According to the Lancet, C'laridge's and Carleton's are the only hotels in London where one can take a bath free of charge if he happens to have a suite to which a bath is attached. At the Grand. Grosvenor, and Metropole a sponge or hip bath in bed i WUi V.WW I74.\^ruv.v, (I liui Ui IUU1U bath in a bathroom, and in a civilized bathtub, costs one and six. At the Victoria and First Avenue the rates for sponge baths and hot baths are like the preceding ones, but one can get a cold bath in a bathroom for a shilling. At the great Central and Hotel Russell one must pay sixpence for a sponge or hip bath in the bedroom, and a shilling for a hot or cold bath in a bathroom; while at the Cecil a sponge bath costs a shilling, and baths in bathtubs sixpence more. Is it a wonder that the real china tubs of our hotels are a source of unceasing wonder to our transatlantic cousins? " . "
