Some Eccentric Railways.

Ab the iron track is bouod to force 111 *»y Into ©OBfe corners of the world ife is not surprising tbafc some lines of railway exisfe which aro striking evi dsace of a singular bold conception carried oafc in the face o! obstacles which seemed almost insurmountable, Ai the Traus-Siberian Kail way grew in length it waa resolved by the &atho rltiea that the workmen should have their own 'church car.' A waggon wti fitted ap accordingly as a oharoh, with a little peal of bells in the aclove above the entrance. The Peruvian line running from OftUayo to Oroya hag »twofold okim to distinction; it is built At probably the greatest altitude of any existing railway, namely, 15,905 feet above sea-level, and it aiordß travellers certainly the most lapleaeftnfe * experience de voyage' tbftt can he imagined As the result of travelling at each an altitude, the pas sengerd begin by feeling great oppres sion, accompanied by pains in the head and limbs ; these are quickly followed by bleeding from the nose and woatb, and then by momentary blind ness. On one of the Trans-Andeß rail ways the pas» pngera have to enter the train in a most peculiar and probably unique manner. The line referred to ia that in the ports of Mollendo, in Peru, The line starts from the qaay ■ide, and the traveller can pass from the boat to the train. Unfortunately the boat cannot be brought completely alongside the quay, Disclaiming the tssual gangway, Peruvian ingenuity hits opoa a very novel idea. Two large uprights', with a itrong cross-bar, were erected on the qttayi and trom the ©roee-bar h&ng& an ordinary trapezs, The passenger wishing to land hm to mim the bar of this trapeze; a few •&i'on surround him, acd, when he gives the word, they unite in boding him Into apace overjhe ship's side. One much • send-off'is quite enough, foe with one swing the traveller comes to land in the outstretched arms of the railway porters,

A Wonderful Floating Dock.

A pontoon dock 545 feet in length, and capable of lifting a weight; of (something like 17,000 tone, was launch ed recently at Wallsend«on-Tyne; The dock baa been boilfe to the order of the Lords Commissioners of the Ad miralty, and will be placed in Hie Majrsty's dockyard at Bermuda, where ife will replace the old floating dock, which has been there since 1369, and which has now become absolete, not through age, bat through the insuffi ciency of its dimensions. The length of the old dock was 381 feet over all, bat to obtain its maximum lifting power gates were fitted, which reduced its practical length to 830 feet. Its inside width was 84 feefc between side walk, and i|s lifting power was 8000 tows, which was laffioienfc for the ships of Ifaa Belleropbon elas?, to lift- which it was specially designed, although it was capable of bringing the keel out o£ the water of vessels op to 10,200 tons, the then heavier ships represented by Ibe long fully-rigged line of battleships Agin court and Minotaur; The present dock is 545 feet long, and having no gates, the length of ship it can take is not restricted, its clear width of en~ tiance between rubbing fenders is 100 i!ceb. Its lifting power up to the pon toon deck level is 15,500 tons, bat by utilising the ehallow-poand this can be increased to 17,500 tons, and the walls are of sufficient height to allow of a vessel drawing 32 feet to be taken on 3ft 6in keel blocks. The present dock is of the type known as a floating graving dock, the invention of Messrs Oiark and StandfieSd, from whose plans It was built. The huge structure glided smoo'hly into the water amid enthusiastic cheering.

L3ke tllo flight oi tn6 swiftest bird is the prog- ress of a hacking cough into consumption. First a cold, then a settled cough, then slow fever, night sweats, and hemorrhages,



Don't neglect your cough. Stop it at once and drive away all thought ol consumption. Begin as early as possi ble—the sooner the better—to take



Ayer's Cherry Pectoral the most effective remedy for coughs of every kind and in every stage.



One of the most annoying coughs is a throat cough, where you have that constant tickling in your throat. It comes on worse at night, keeps you awake, and makes you have that smothond feeling in the chest. It hardly seems possible what one dose of Cherry Pectoral will do for this kind of a cough, it brings such marked relief. Put up in large and small bottles. When the cough gets down deep in the chest and the lungs are painful, put one of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral Plasters directly over the tender lung. It will draw out all the soreness.
