Tue road runs along Sixtieth strct fro:u Cottage Grove avenue to the World' Fair Grounds. It is an elevated con cern, aad what makes it interesting is the fact that the car run or slid o on water. It is also interesting from the fact that a terrific rate of speed can be at tained. Inr fact, one of tue chief diffi culties in operating the road is to re duce tue speed to a limit of safety. Oue Imndred miles an hour is reached wirai out any trouble at all. Occasionally the cars shoot through space ac the rate of 125 miles an hour. Already the trestle is finished at the lower md of the ground, and piles are all driven leady lor the superstructure, which will be put on in arfew weeks. The road will have a carrying capacity of 10U,C00 passengers a day. The sliding, or gliding, or skating, or hydraulic iailay, as it has been vur. ousiy ca led, is a beautiful illustration of one ol ihe leading principles of bydro Eamics,ears being set in motion and kept going by the reaction from a horizontal diatelytooc to the fields aad the out fctrcam of water ejected in te direction boucs rather than auain face the terrors, of the train Irom its under portion into which they knew to be upon, the iusiie bucket racks beneath the carnages. 1 of that deserted monastery.

The men were in a pitiful state of ex-hau-tion; but. after, a hearty mei!, ad letired for the nijit, the.-sleeping quarttr being an abaadoaed m oastery. Just before taking possession of tae building 8iuione ia the neighbnranol I informed the soldiers that tue noaistery was haunted, the apparition being spectral dog. This story soon spread throughout the regiment, rnskingsor.e feel very uncomfortable, but the ma jority of the men seemed p regard the whole story a9 a joke, most of toem de claring that it 'would take a good-szjd ghost dog to disturb them after tuca a day and night of marahio?.' But at about the hour of midnight the deep silence was broken by scores of loud wild cries of terror. The white laced soldiers rushed 'turzuUuously Ira n their bunks ia every direction, and one and all at oace told the commanders the same tale of superstitious horror. Every man in the regiment had been visited ,bj the phantom dog! A great, white, shagiry beast withsull denuded of skin and flesh and monstrous eye-balls of tire swimming in blood.

It nas up visib'e outlet, bnt is subject to enormous evaa oration, a lact which accounts for the yearly diujinisameut of its level, even though it is constantly fed by several good-sized strea ns. S-ime claim that it is mere lancy that has clothed tne Dead Sa in ptrjHitual glooni, but this cn oardly be the case. It undoubtedly has the most desolate shores of any body 6f water m the world. For miles and miles no green thing grows, there being no driftwood and blaci stones to break the awful monotony of the scene. Tne dark, sluggish waters, whisa are al .vays ver hung with a thick mist, break in alow, sepulchral tones upon the beach, and it almost seems that if the smoke of the fires that consumed the wicked cities of Sodom and Gomorrah are still ascend-' ing through the thick, greasv-looking waves to heaven. The waters of the Dead Sea do not go dancing and spark ling along as waves of water usually do, but move like heavy billows of oil a fact which is said to be due to the im mense quantities of salt and bitumen held ia suspension. Fish cannot lire in such a solution, but the story that birds cannot fly over it is an absurdity that has often been disproved. New Tork News - . .---I-.- rOPULAB SCIENCE.

Taming Walrus II dm. One of the largest hides ever tanned has iust come train the tannery of a lo cal firm. It is eight feet wide and four teen leet loug and weighs 70 J pounds. It is one of a dozaa or more walrus hides brougat to this city rive yeais ao by a whaler from the Arctic. Twelve years ago experiments were made on the bide of the walrus, and it was conclusively proved that it coul I be tanned. Then came the questiou of a market for the leather whica was seldom less than aa inch in thickuess. Local silversmiths found it an excellent sub stitute for the old-style emery wheel, aud from the first it was a success, used as la means of polishing silverware and sur lac.nj prec.ous sto les. O.ice a use was found lor it tne price advaccsd until in 1S9J it had reached $a a pound. Othei hriii commissioned caottms of waalers to secure hides for them, and witu cuin petion the onca of the tanned hides receded to $3 pound, at wnic.i figure it is uow quoted in the Eastern markets. Tne greea hides are enormous and cumoersome, weighing Irom 5d0 to 7J0 pouuds each.

"T" "TALinUT for market purpo?e are causht o2 Nova Scotia by J I vessels fitted out at this port, (J"" tays the New York Tribune. It taes them three or four weeks tc make the round trip. A trawl line h u-e I by the fishermen, that is, a lint 200J to 4JU0 feet long, with hooks twelve to eigateen inches apart. Taese books are btited with hcrrin-.'. Oae end of the line is aucnnrel and the other end is buoyed with a small ke Tae line is lifted every six hours. Generally it is toand that each trawl line will have hanging to it fro n tea to twenty-five halibut, weighing ten to seventy-five pounds each. The fish are taken on the smack, eviscerated and packed in the ice-houses aboard. The male halibut rarely exceeds fifty pounds in weight, but the fema'c will pull down tne scales at 10 J or 13 'J pounds usuilly. Toere is a'triiition of halibut having been caught o3 Portland. le., that weighed CJO pounds, and a New England myth to tne effect that a bold Gloucester seafarer once brought in a halibut that was ten feet long and weighed 72 J pouuds. These two hali buts, it is believed, existed ouly in the imagination of Gloucester bankers. A fish that will weigh 829 pounds will be betweea seven and eight feet long and nearly four feet wide. fhe largest baliout I ever saw in Fulton rair.et," said Mr. B ackford, "weighed 31C pounds." A (at female halibut of about eighty pouuds is what the market.nea like, one that will cut up into c loice halibut steaks. People luxurious in their tastes buy the youni fish, the c iic tou halibut, weighing six or seven pound?. AU the large baiibut are gray on the unders3id5 and are called gray hahbur, while the best fish is pure white. The halibut, say the fishermen, who voyage toward the waters of ice floes and mountainous bergs in pursuit of it, is a migratory dsn t lat keias in sc 10 ls like porpoises. In pursuit of herring the ri?ii ofien run ruto tae herring nets of tne Gloucester fisner.nen. They ara lare mouthed, sharp toothed, voracious, wild aad active.

Bat he "gets a move on" w lee a wai'e or a sharx, his deadly e em"e3, dashes into a school. Halibut taken often have sides furrowed and scarred by the teeth of that terror of the deen, tae sair.c. Now that the insatiable appetite of the human race has thinned out the schools of haliuut in the North Atlantic and is driving what remain to the deeper seas beyond tne continental slopes, market men are looking to other waters for their supplies. Halibut from tne Pacific Ocean, selling in Fulton Alarket, are not uncom non these days. As yet they are abuudant in the Pacific north of the State of Washington. Oa that coast Cape Fiattey i3 at present the most prominent fisning pomt for halibut, and large catches are taken taere during July and August. Steam vessels are fitted cut fro a Tacoma and Seattle, which make the trip to the halibut grounds and return in three days. Tae steamers pay native fisherman one cent a pound foi their catch. Tae steamers rua the fish to Tacoma and Seattle, and thence they are shipptd by rail to the principal cities of the Pacific Coasr. One of the peculiarities of the halibut, as a member m good standing of the flit nYa family, which long caused scientists and biologists to wonder, was the "mi gratory e,e." Wocn a flit tish is born be swims edgewise and has an eye like ot.jer tish on caca side of his snout, but later oa ia life he is foil id lying ou his side while both eyes areoa tae saraaside of the nose. Biologists and fishermen Ion argued the questna whether the 'other eyu" traveled around the nose to tne company of its mate or whether it tooi a short cut and worcei its way through the fish's hea J. It see n3 fin illy to have been deal n9tratei to tha satis faction of the biologists, but not to that of tne tidier uen, that the ni'griting eye traveled over and around the nose. Larnirg to Write. The qu stion is' oeing asked, both it Europe ani America, way it is that the handwriting of the average individual continues so poor, despite tac frai and edort spent by the schools in teaching tne art of writing. Tae p lysicians, too, arou ed by their own persooal'observa tious, have raised a protest against ex isting methods of teaching writing. They hold that both myopia ani scoli osis, which develap so largely during tcnool life, are distinctly tnceable and taught in wr.tincr lesson?; taat these aim ul postures are due to the "slo-ae" i '. i. w uc ,lUB, dlo,e ,r a.u .-.v. wiinu", iuti ms spine .ii ... i t. j , win tcnaiuijf ue iwistea umess aa uo- right styie of writing is adopt .d; that vertical wr.tmg, if substituted for the prevailing "sloping" style would c'avi ateall of these troubles.

Soak one-half pound of the crumbs of a new loaf in tepid water, wring it in a cloth to ex tract the moisture and stir it over the tire in a saucepan with one-half ounce of butter, and salt to taste, until it lor.nsa compact and smooth paste, detac ling it self well from the saucepan; put it to cool between two plates and proceed to the mixture of the other ingredients. Skin, say. a couple of whiting, scraps oH the flesh with a spoon, pr.si it through a sieve with a wooden pestle, and to every six ounces of the fish allow one-quarter pound of panade and three ounces of fresh butter; pound tnese to gether in a basin and gradually add two whole eggs and the yolk of one, season rather plentifully with nutmeg, pepper and fait and put it in a cold pmce ox on ice till wanted. Any kind of fish can be used for the purpose, always working according to the given proportions, whether in larger or tmilier quantities. To make aa or dinary tsi pie, use any seasonable, tirm-fle-hed tiih; after well clean. ng it, cut it up into medium-sized fil.et, arrange these in an earthen vessel in tiuy layers thickly sprinkled with a mixture of pep per, salt, spices and tinely caopped aro matic berus to t isto and chervil; over closely and stand in a cool place for twelTe hours in warm weather, or twenty- four hours in the cold season. Have ready the pastry (line the dish with it or not, as prei erred), put a la)er of forcemeat at the bottom, over it one of Ms i, and so alternately till the dish is full and well raised toward the centre; let the top layer consist of lorcemeat, and cover witu little pieces of butter or thin slices of bacon. Lay the pastry over the top, brush it witn yolk of ejg, make a boie in the middle, and bake for about three hours. Serve cold. The German pie miie of whole fish makes h very pleasant change. Any fairly small, neat-shape I fisn will do; zut oil tne aead. split it down tne iiack; md so clean it carefully, removing the Urge bone; stud it witn forctmsat, close it, and lay the fish thus prepared in couples or separately on a piece of pastry large enough to fold right over like a turnover, and well lined witn strips of bacon. Hake about two hi u.s and terve hot. To use up remains of cod or other fish, the flush of which i3 apt to taste rather dry, try the following: Line a baking dish or tin with some thin pastry, spread a little butter over it. break up the cold fish into small t j i a . 1 have ready some bread era. nas soaked w r ... ; i i l n miiK ; stir into mis pieuuiui season ing, chopped parsley, onions and chervil; rid the dish wita alternate layers of fish and stuffing: beat up six eggs with half a pint of cream, season with salt, pepper and nutmeg, and ladle it in by spoonfuls over tue conteuts of the dish. When nearly soaked in, cover with a threfc ciust. bake it for an hour and a half till a golden brown; turn it our, or serve as it is with or without a panley and butter sauce. The above proportion of eggs and cream is for about two soup plates full of fish. To make the sauce melt a lump of butter, eeasoa it, and sprinkle in some finely-chopped parsley. A la Ste. Therese Line a tin mold with short paste, begin with a layer of forcemeat; over this put a slice of salmon and some fillets of anchovies; sprinkle with chopped parsley and small onions, pepper and salt and continue the layers slteJJaately till the mold is well filled. Covjfr with paste, ornament it, brush it with egg, and bake for one hour and a quarter, or more, according to the size Serve with almost any desired sauce 1 IUvigotte being a great favorite with this particular pie. cof rpkljn BridSe wa used by 41.67 Passengers during the year 1S92.
