In this country \yc arc nil kings ,
nnd we arc all entitled to have as
good blood as that which courses
through the veins of emperors. i
There arc princes nnd million
aires languishing in feebleness and
broken-down bodily health who
would be glad to have the strength
of the humblest laboring man.
And there are many people who
nrc neither kings , emperors , nor
millionaires , whose blood is thin ,
vhosc circulation is poor , who are
suffering from lassitude and docility ,
and who know not the pleasure of a
hearty meal , nor the enjoyment of
being rtble to do a good day's wpik.
If such people will put some iron
into their blood , they will vitalize
and enrich it. They can do this by
the use of Brown's Iron Bitters , the
purest and most excellent iron med
icine ever madc Thousands who
were weak , languid ) pale.and pros
trated , arc now happy to say that
Brown's Iron Bitters brought them
up and cave them new life. 5

There is fashion in religion as in nl
olso. Ita devotees ride up in splendid
equipages to the doors of churches whose
pointed arches , long-drawn nisles nnti
fretted vaulU have cost hundreds ol
thounanda of dollars. With grace they
tread the costly , carpets toward the pews ,
They are often compelled , however , k
dtaw largely upon their plethoric pocket
boohs. The joyous anthem that tlu
choir raises comes from throats trained in
the most expensive muaio nchools. Tli
words that softly fall from the pnstor'i
lips are veritably golden , if ono romonv
bora the salary ho probably receives. Tlu
stained-glass windows through whtol :
struggles a dlmroligious light are all priceless
loss works of the painter's art. 'When rid
people go to pray thorois nothing moagn

Korpaotioiu virtue of ita cheapness and
the brilliant light it gives , has found is (
way into almost ovcry house. And yet
frequent and oftoii horrible accident *
prove that much of the oil now sold is of
a moat dangerous character. It is the
recognized duty of the state to render tlio
Bile of such oil impossible by proper in
spection. Almost daily reports ot loss
of property and lifo , as the result of the
use of unsafe kerosene , show , however ,
that this ollioial control failo to effect ita
object. This may bo due , in a measure ,
to the undoubted negligence of cities and
towns to appoint competent inspectors
if , indeed , any appointment ia made or
to the carelessness of the inspectors ; but
of greater im001 taneo oven than this are
the low standards adopted , and the un
reliability of the teats \vhicli are used to
determine the character of the oil. :
It is the object of this paper to consider
the conditions of safety in an oil used for
illuminating and heating purposes , and to
ivo a brief sketch of the principal
methods which have been proposed for
Jotormining this important point ,
Petroleum , from which kerosene is
prepared , is , ai is generally .known , a
nizturo of a large number of intimately ,
rolfttod componds of widely differing
vuhtility. Some are gaseous , and escape
in this form an the potrolnum issues from
the ground , while others form the solid
parafline. The middle portions of the
crude oil arc separated from the more
and loss volatile compounds by distila-
tion , and after a further proco s of puri
fication go into the market as kerosene.
The entire removal of Iho lighter and
moro volatile portions , which are known
as naphtha and benzine , is of the utmost
importance , for it ii in their presence
that the danger lies. Alone , _ they are
easily ignited , and alone or mixed oven
in small proportion wjth korostmo , they
readily omit vapors which are inflammable
and which with air form an explosive
mixture.

"Th"ro in an interesting slab , " said n
geologist to a Now York Sun reporter ,
holding up an ancient and weather worn
slab. " "It's a fa : fiimilo of a cast in the
Brilism museum , that boars the remains
of the oldest bird known. It had a reg
ular lizard tail. This specimen was found
in the Bavarian quarries at Solonhofon ,
whore so much valuable lithographic slate
is found. Some laborers , came upon an
impression in the olnto which so closely
resembled a feather that itwas carefully
worked out and prosontond by the owner
of the quarry to u local scientist , who , in
turn , presented it to Prof. Herman von
Meyer , and thus the first trace uf the
earliest bird wan discovered , the natural
ist giving it the namp of the archtuop-
tcryx. This first find was a perfect
feather that perhaps had been dropped
by some bird ages ago , and gradually
covered up nud preserved. Not long after ,
in the same Ipcality , a lot of feathers were
exposed , and in working them out nearly
the entire body of the wondorf til bird was
exhumed.
"Tho archiuoptcryx , judging from this
specimen , was about the sixo of a crow ,
and the first thing that attracted the find
er's attention was the remarkable tail. If
you can immagiuo the pope's nose of the
bird or a turkey , stretched out so that it
is longer than the bird itaolf , and make
up of twenty movable bones or vortobnu ,
each supporting a pair of feathers , ono
upon each'side , a fair conception of this
strange tail may bo had , A further ex
amination showed that the fore limb had
two toes or fingers free of the linb , each
armed with a powerful clawwhilo a third
was greatly elongated and supported the
feathered wing.
"Tho head of the archieopteryx was
not found , but from later discoveries of
other early birds it is presumed that the
reptile-like appearance yras increased by
haying veritable teeth in ita jaws' In
flying the curious tail must have boon an
impediment rather than a help. In the
days of the archusoptoryx the conditions
of lifo were somewhat different from
these of the present time. In America
the Rocky mountain chain had not ap
peared , and from Kansas a vast inland
sea stretched away over the prairies , all
that pnrt of the country being beneath a
body of water that undoubtedly yras con
nected with the oceans on both sides of
the present continent. Whether the
English channel then existed and Eng
land had ita'prcHont shape is not known ,
but tvo Are positive that at that time the
Btitish iolos nroro in a much warmer cli
mate than now , as fossil coral beds are
found there , and ever farther north ,
which wore composed of living corals in
the days of the archiuopUryx.
"In our country the rocks of a later
time have preserved birds for us that are
perhaps equally -wonderful aa the long-
toiled specimen from | Solonhofoii. For
a long time their fo Hprints have boon
known , and linalJy some specimens
discovered in Kanstattracted universal
attention , from the I act that they pos
sessed ' veritable tooth. These curious
creatures were taken from the chalk-
beds , and named by Prof. Marshtho dis
coverer , odoutornithes. Twenty speci
mens were found , showing that the pos
session of teeth was probably genera
among birds of that time. The largos
bird taken from the chalk was named thi
hespororius. It was a great water bird ,
at least six feet in length. Its jaws were
lined with sharp teeth sot in grooves
The wings were like these of the ostrich ,
incapable of lifting it from the ground
while its foot were webbed like these o :
a duck. In fact , if wo can imagine such
a strange conglomerationtho hospororius
was n cirnivoroua or Mesh-eating , swim
miiifr , ostrich-like bird.
"Tho flying birds of that ago , no-
larger than our commmon pigeons , also
hadjtocth. Such was the jotlryornis. Its
tooth were in sockets , just like these of
the alligator of to-day , und it had a back
bone like a fish. Another waa a pigoor
with teeth , and others somewhat resembled -
bled swans and rails ; all , however , being
provided with sharp tooth uf various
kinds , showing that they were hunters
and far different in their habits from
their docondants of to-day.
"Equally strange are some of the birda
that have become extinct in later times ,
and have been preserved in the earth.
Within a few months some excavations in
the plattio clay of Kas-Moudon , Franco ,
have resulted in the discovery of the re
mains of a , gooso-hko bird , which , when
the bones were arranged , toworoa alo't
to a height twice that of the tallest man.
Such enormous birds must have presented
a strange spectacle moving about in Hocks ,
and from them probably came the legend
of the roe of the "Arabian Nights. " The
bones of a vulture-like bird have boon
found that exceed in sue the gast"rnis
uf Franco. Ita name is the mogalor-
nis , and it probably preyed upon the
monater gooao , which could not escape by
flying.
"Tho caves of various countries were
evidently the resorts of the largo birds of
early times , and in many caves the remains -
mains of remarkable * birds have boon
Found. Thus , in Franco , a largo crane
Ins boon found in various caves , together
with the remains of the reindeer , all the
bones showing marks of the instruments
} f prirnioval man. The remains of the
snowy owl and the willow grouse are , also
: ommon , and in the Xebug cavern , in
Ualta , a gigantic extinct swan hoa been
liscovorod. South American caves huvo
produced over thirty-four different
dnds of birds , but it ia to Now XeaU
uid and Madagascar that _ wo look for
ho most remarkable gigantic forms. In
.ho latter island , which scorns to have
] con the homo of many of thi o ani-
nals , hadoro St. Uiluirp found the re-
ixaina of an enormous bin ] , the icpyoniis
naximus. In traveling through the coun-
ry his attention was attracted to the
yiitmotrlcal dishes that were occasionally
toueesed by name of the native triboa ,
nd thinking they wore gourds be in * :
quired whoto they were obtained. To
his amazement the ownnrs informed him
that the dishes were part of the egg shells
of a great bird , and upon further investi
gation ho found the remains of the giant
and ita eggs. The eggs when perfect ,
were each equal in size U > 1U5 hen's eggs ,
and would hold two gallons of water.
This otrango bird und others that have
since boon discovered scorn to have been
buried in the sandbcds of the southern
part of the island , and there preserved
for ages.
"Larger oven than the tupyoniis was
the gigantic moa , whoso skeletons have
boon obtained in great quantities in Now
Xcaland. In a single swamp several tons
of bones wore foundand of such prodigi
ous bulk that it waa first supposed they
were the remains of an elephant , but the
bills nnd foot proved them to bo largo
wingless birds , which had probably
waded into the swamp and become mired ,
and so hardened and preserved. Hero ,
too , the great birds seemed to have re
sorted to caves , and what is called the
Moa Bono Point cave has produced great
numbers of skeletons , found buried with
the remains of the ancient Macri , and re
cently some feathers of these great birds
have been found. Many native tra
ditions show that thny lived with the
early human inhabitants , and were
killed off by them. The songs of the
Maori abound in allusions to the
wonderful flowering plumage of the
mna , and moa eggs have boon found in
ancient , graves. Paris of the eggs are In
the British museum , and ara larger than
the eggs of the ostrich. Some of the
finest collections of the birds themselves
have boon brought to America , showing
Hpocimuna of the dinornis nine feet in
height and with limbs moro powerful than
these of an ox.
It seems almost incredible that bird
should exist largo enough to prey upon
the great moa , yet such was undoubtedly
thn case. A bird of prey the harpago-
nis lived , that could easily have master
ed the largest moa. In later times the
great rail , notorious , gigantic gccsc ,
strange-crested parrots , the king of
pigeons , the dodo , and the curious aoli-
taire have passed away and become a part
of the strange and wondrous history of
the rock.

The First Kci'ordeil Case of ix Propo
sal in a Street Car.
Thb bleak and uninviting interior of a
street car , with the thermometer twenty
degrees below froe/.ing point , was the
scene of a proposal of marriage last open
ing. The hour was half post nine ; the
car ono of the ambor-hucd chariots of the
Thirteenth and Fifteenth Street linoand
the interested parties a trim-built , pretty
girl of about 1 ! ) summers , with dark eyes
and rosy cheeks , and a young man of
two or three and twenty , arrayed in a
double-breasted overcoat with a sealskin
collar , a Fedora hat and a largo diamond
ocarfpin that , if the young man was not a
hotel clerk , was piobably paste.
Tu the most casual observer these
cooors wore , evidently , what is known in
the language of love aa "spoons , " and the
eyes of both fairly beamed with affec
tionate glances of the first wator. They
were ensconced irf ono of the" corners far
thest from the back platform , and oppo
site to them sat the only other occupant
ot the car , a humble reporter , who dozed
a doze as the car sped along past the
glimmering street lamps and rattled across
the tracks of intersecting railways. It
was bound north. Pine , Spruce , Locust
and Walnut streets were passed in rapid
aucce.'sion until the .flashing glare of the
electric light on Chestnut street awoke
the ewcptly slumbering scribe , but .his
awakening was not noticed by the lovers
opposite.
"Aro you cold , Amelia ? " came in gentle
tones across the car.
"Yes , Charley , " was the half whispered
reply. And Charley snuggled up close ,
and took Amelia's hand in his.
Ho then glanced at her in a loving
woy , looked across at the reporter ,
who was apparently asleep , noticed
that the conductor was entirely occu
pied in keeping his feet warm , and ,
after giving ono orttro coughssaid , with
a smile :
"Dp you recollect what I told you the
first time I mot you , Amelia1 ?
"No , Charley. What ? "
"Why , that I had never been in love ,
and that it would be a cold day when I'd
ask n girl to marry mo. "
"Oh , yes ; but why do you ask ? "
"Well , this is a very cold day , Amelia ,
Un'tit ? "
"Yes , Charley ; but why ? " and she
blushed as she glanced up at him , and as
his facb drew nearer hers.
"Well , will you ? "
There t > as mlenco for a moment but for
the jinalo , jingleof the bolls and the
shulllini ; of the conductor's feet upon the
icy platform. Then she slipped her hand
into his , blushed even rosier than before ,
and whispered "Yes. "
"Bless you , my children , " exclaimed
the delighted reporter ; and as the lovers
half started up abashed at the unexpect
ed discovery of their secret the scribe
nhot out of the doorway and hurried
away.

Track-laying , as well as most all other
kinds of work , has distinctive peculiari
ties in Mexico. You may , perhaps ,
fancy a gang of noisy Irishmen in turbu
lent toil , u few rudn shanties around ,
much whisky in the air , and the ground
strewn with tin cans and empty bottles.
The picture would hold good of any track-
laying sccno in the far west , but not in
Mexico. Here the labor is all Mexican ,
that is to say , pure Indian with alight ex
ceptions. The only white men are the
master tracklayer , the locomotive engi
neer and the fireman , the civil engineer
who , is setting the stakes to guide the
surfacing gang and the cook. The fore
men of the tracklaying gangs are Mexi
cans. All appears to bo confusion , and
the spectator wonders why the men lug
ging all sorts of material and engaged in
all sorts of work do not tumble over each
other. But really the strictest order pre
vails. Ono gang carries the cross-ties
forward and arrangts them ; boys run
ahead and dron the spikes ,
fish-plates or anglo-irons , bolts ,
and nuts , just in the spot
where they are wanted ; another gang
loads the rails on to little flat cars , which
are pushed forvynrd over the brand now
Irack as fast as it is laid , whcro the rails
are carried forward by other men detailed
for the purpose. The rails are laid on
the cross-tics in their proper position ,
these on the right following a chalk line
marked on the tics by a string , while on
the left they are placed at the exact dist
ance from the oppposite line by means of
a gauging stick. The luvolors como di
rectly behind the track-laying gang. The
rails are raised to exactly the required
level by means of jackscrews , and the
gravel or ballast is scraped and shoveled
m under the cross ties to keep them in
place. The track ia then ready for the
cars. But a ballast train follows immedi
ately along behind , filling in between
the ties with the needed ballast , and
vrithin fifteen dayn at least the track is in
perfect order for regular operation. Th'e
thorough construction of the Mexican
Central ia shown in ita ballasting. In
stead of laying the track on the bare
grading and then filling in with ballast
afterward , the line is thoroughly ballasted
at the time the grading is done , giving
tbo best kind of a road-bod. The ballast
all along the line is excellent , a great
proportion of it being of broken rock ,
like that on the Pennsylvania railway ,
while the rest ia of tfepatato of various
degrees of hardness.

"No , George , I'm not going to take my
shoos oft" . " "You'd hotter , dearest. " "No ,
I shan't. Just as like as not the train
will run oil' the track. What a place this
is for a l.vdy to sleep in. Catch mo tak
ing ofl'my shoes or anything else this
night. Why , anybody can como along
hero and pull thojp curtains right back. "
"Why , dear , it ia juat aa private hero as
in your own room. No ono disturbs any
one else on a sleeper. You know I trav
eled a great deal before wo were married.
Now come , pet , let mo untie your shoes
for you ? " "You shan't GeQrgo. I tell
you I won't take my shoes off , and I
won't , BO there. I am going to sit up
hero and lean against this pillow and look
out of the wincbw all night , and I'll
bo already dressed fur breakfast in the
morning. You can sleep down hero if
you want to. Ho argued , reasoned , en
treated and commanded , but the six-
hour bride remained firm , and it was
evident that a dark cloud was on the
face of the young honeymoon. The last
thing wo heard before gafhg to sleep waa
the beginning of what ho said was his
last appeal. Wo didn't ' hear the end of
it , but woke next morning and found all
quiet in the next berth. All'tho other
passengers were soon up , and the porter
had their beds motamorphsed into seats ,
but utill the bridal couple slept. Finally
they were roused by the conductor , and
after forty minutes of floundering in the
lovyor bunk , and frequent whispered in-
quirioa for sundry missing articles , con
spicuous among which was "my other
shoo , " there appeared a plump little
woman with frowsy hair and a pair gf
pretty blushes , which deepened and
widened surprisingly as she mot the gaz
of her fellow passengers. It was appar-

A Remarkable Steam Engine.
from "Fifty Y r ol Mechanical KngliiecrlnK , " by
Alnicr 0. lUrdlni ; , In fopular Science Monthly
lor February ,
An English firm hnye recently com
pleted a small light compound engine ,
yhich , in point of weight , pclipaea any-
hing heretofore built. This engine is
nado of steel and phosphor-bronzo ; all
larts are built aa light as possible , the
ods and shafting and all parts possible
> eing bored ut to reduce weight. At u
peed ot only 300 revolutions a minute
hey indicate over twenty horse-power ,
tnd weigh but 105 pounds all told. This
ingino would give fully thii ty horse-
lower actual at a piston-speed of 500
cot minute. The size is three and
luce quarters high pressure , coven and a
uilf low pressure , and rlvo stroke , That
hirty horse-power can bo had from a
iroper utilization of steam and proper
istribution of 105 pounds of metal is
ortatnly most utonuhint ; , especially o ,
ontidorint ; that the engine is compound.
L ship of 2,500 tons displacement waa al-
lost unknown fifty years ago ; to-day the
ransatlftntic steamer , the higbesi'clasa of
lie merchantilu marine , has from 8,000
j Kt,000 tons displacement , and engines
f 6 000 to 10,000 ono horse-power. Sov- I
ral of the transatlantic liners have
