According to M. Eiffel, the cost in
lives of any great engineering work
can be estimated at least a accurately
as tho cost in money. "It ha been
ascertained." he says, "by statistical
observation that in engineering enter

$200,000 spent on the work. . If yon
Lave to build a bridge at a cost of
$20,000,000, you know that you will
kill 100 workmen." This statement,
while rather an ingenious ono, is not,
it is stntod, borne out by facts. Take
the Eiffel tower, for example. One
million three hundred thousand dol
lars' worth cost only four live. The
Forth bridge, on the other hand, a

According to a recent dispatch from
St. Petersburg, the wild camel has
been discovered in large number in
that portion of Asia which lies between
Lobnor and Snjny. This will dispose
of the doubts that have hitherto pre.
vailed on the question as to whether
tho "ship of the desert" really exists
in an untamed condition. From time
immemorial two species of tamo camel
have boon in use, namely, that known
as tho dromedary, with only one
hump, and found in India, Arabia ami
Africa, while the one with two humps
is met with in Central Asia, Persia and
the south of Russia, Both species
figure in the sculptures of Assyria,
and are mentioned in the oldest books
of the Biblo, but always as domestic
nnimnls, aud no traoe exists of their
being drafted from their savage state
into civilized life. Indeed, it . has
been generally supposed that the
camel never existed otherwise than as
beast of burden, and the few speci
mens of wild dromedaries which have
hitherto been secured by travellers
ami hunters have been regarded as
merely some of the domestic species
that had reverted to the freedom of
barbarism. Zoologically apeakiug,
the newly discovered wild camel of
Lobnor does not differ widely from
the domesticated animal, . except that
there is almost an entire lack of hump,
and that its BBguoity and senses are
developed to a most remarkable de
gree of keenness. Aud, whereas, we
have hitherto been oocustomod to as
sociate this animal with idtta of the
torrid heat of the African and Arabian
deserts, it would appear that it thrives
nowhere so well as in the coldest por
tiou of Siberia, suffering no iucon
venionoe eveu from the most severe
winters, when . the thermomtter is
