The Great Fun that May be Got Out of Steam Travel, " (New York Sun.) good-natured and talkative don. ductor on the Pennsylvania road leaned against the stove in the smoking-car of an incoming train the other day, and remarked to a fussenger who smoked near him: “You have no idea how rail- roading grows on a man. The more you railroad the more you want to. Any other life seems as flat as dishwater compared to it, and from the way that things are advancing in railroading it looks very much as if there would never be a limit to the fun that can be en- joyed. Just now the great scheme is to go cruising round on the railroad. You talk about going off in a steam yacht. Why, it can't be compared to yachting on a railroad.” “What do you meant” “Why, a man can go yachting over the American continent with more com- fort and pleasure than he can over the Atlantic ocean, It will cost him a good deal of money, but not as much as it will to run a big yacht, and he will have no end of fun.

The material smployed is gran- ite; and the executing such a work in such a material, and, when com. lcted, pearing it into position, must Pave involved a profound knowledge not only of high art, but of engineering ekill.

But as the copper is only one-eighth of an inch thick, an inner skin is also provided, placed about a foot behind the first, while the intermediate space will be filled in with sand, especially at the lower extremities, to give the whole a steadfast foundation. Yhe stability of the figure will not, | however, be left to depend solely on these sheets of copper and loose sand; and, therefore, the interior. from top to bottom, will be strengthenod by a frame work of girders and supports, by which the whole will be knit together in one firm, compact, unyielding mass.

The eye-stalks were two inches in height, and between them extended upward a long, sharp gpine that would have been a formidable weapon if the giant was disposed to use it. “If yon could see one of these fellows alive,” continued the naturalist, Hand under the circumetanoces that 1 did, fou wouldn't forget it. 1 canght this fellow myself.
