Germany's Royal Testing Office. In the matter of raw materials, such as building stones, if a build er or owner anywhere in Ger many discovers a stone which seems valuable, he can send this to the laboratory. It will tnere bo tested upon a lai ge scale. One of the most interesting machines used in the whole establishment is an enormous freezing machine, by which large stones may be frozen and thawed many times in the course of a week, thus giving them all the wear and tear in a few days which they would re ceive from fifty years of weather ing. In a similar way, machines have been invented for the test ing of silks and textiles, of cotton thread, for breaking great beams of iron and steel to determine their strength and hardness and physical properties which make them valuable iu manufacture or in the arts. An immense labora tory has been built up for cement testing and the testing of build ing stoneB and earths of various kinds. Chemistry has been used in the most skillful manner to solve the problems of industry and to deal with all the complicat ed processes which enter into manuf tcture. The aim has been on the whole, to establish an in stitution in which a body of ex perts thoroughly familiar with the facilities and the literature of modern science shall be ready to turn themselves at any i; me to the solution of any practical problem which the inventor," the maunfac turer, the metal worker, the f.vrm er, or the builder might bring to them.

When the young moti of the couutry are called forth to win they march through the streets with flags flying and bands play ing inspiring music. The people crowu the streets greet, them with applause. When news of a battle is received, theeutiro uation is sad at the story of lives destroyed. Those who thus died are honored for their heroism, and mouu merits are erected to their memory, while those who returned manned are pensioned. Not so, however the army which goes forth daily to do duty tpou our railroads, .says Peat son's Mugazino. One in eve ry eighty of them will ho perma nently disabled, and one in every uine of the injured will be killed. They pass away, unknown aud uti honored, save as to their families and friends A more vivid notion of the de structiveness ot railroads may be had by considering the fact that in the great Crimean conflict, which was one of the bloodiest wars in history, tho British lost less than half as many slain and wounded as were killed and maim ed on tho iron roads in this coun try during the las', year. In any twelvemonth a oout 00,000 persons are killed or injured on the rail roads of the United States a much greater number than fell at the battle of Sedan, which sealed the fate of the Seco.id Empire of France. Wellington won Water loo, aud Meade Gettysburg, with losses of 2a, 18." and 23,00:1, re spectively, aud tho total losses on both sides atShiloh in the two days' murderous fight did not reach LM.OOO. More railroad employes were killed in the United States lust year than three times tho tiura ber of Union men slain at the bat tles ot Lookout Mountain, Mis sionary Ridge and Orchard Knob combined. The number of injur ed among these workers, iu the transportation business was greater than that of the wounded and missing at Shiloh, Antietam and the First aud Second Bull Run combined. More faithful toilers on the iron roads of this country went down in suddeu death during tho twelvemonth than perished in the battle of the Wilderness. Each year one iu every ten train men in the United States (this term including engineers, tire men, conductors aud brakjmen) is iujured, and one in every 135 is killed. Two hundred and fifty meq are killed and 2,800 are dis abled in an average twelvemonth, while coupling or uncoupling cars. In the same length of time ninety-five pers'.ns are slain and 990 iujured by being knocked from cars by bridges or other obstacles at the side of tho track. On the other baud, only one pas senger is killed for eve y 1,880,- 000 carried, and one hurt for eve ry 97,000. The average passen ger travels 2,91)4,272 miles before he is injured, und he goes 57,000,- 000 miles before he loses his life.
