At at any rate, it is given out that a number of official are in favor of making it a standard color for locomotives.
MESSES. Harpers Brother press "Literary Landmarks of Venice," by Laurance Hutton. "This says the author "is written for foreignors, for the men of letters, for the lovers of art.

Personally via Pennsylvania Tours to Railroad. Yellowstone The Yellowstone Park is one of the most wonderfully attractive regions of the world. Its beauties of scenery, the wild grandeur of its mountains and canons, compel the admiration of every visitor, while its phenomenal geysers and curious mineralogical formations make it a rich field for the investigation of the scientist. Universal interest attaches to it, and in order that the natural desire to visit it may be accomplished in the most satisfactory manner the Pennsylvania Railroad Company has arranged for a tour covering a period of sixteen days, leaving New York and Philadelphia, Thursday, August 27. As the tour will be run under the personally-conducted tourist system inaugurated by the named company, it is hardly necessary to give the assurance that it will be arranged in the most complete manner.
It might be well to state, however, that no other means of seeing the park thoroughly is comparable to that afforded by a well-ordered personally-conducted tour. A special train, consisting of a dining, Pullman vestibule drawing-room sleeping, compartment and observation cars, which will be the best that can be secured, will be provided in which passengers will live en route, and whenever the journey is broken the choicest rooms in the leading hotels will be reserved for the use of the tourists. for which regular rates are paid, 80 tnat the guests, although members of a party, enjoy all the privileges of individuals who may have made their own selections The party will be conducted throughout by a tourist agent especially selecled for his ability and experience, with chaperon to look after the comfort of lady passengers. The rate, covering every necessary expense, will be $210 from Boston, and $200 from New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington and Harrisburg; proportionate rates from other points. Detailed itinerary will be on application to Tourist Agent, Washington street, Boston; 1196 Broadway, New York; 860 Fulton street, Brooklyn, or Room 411, Broad Street Station, Philadelphia.
Fast Mail Work. It would not be surprising to find BoRton, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington connected by, tubes, enabling letters and parcels to be forwarded in as many hours as it now takes days. The telegraph companies will be seriously affected by the new system. The operation is very simple. The letters are placed in a.leather tube or carrier, which fits snugly into the pneumatis tube.
Then a blast of eir from behind, or the suction of the air from the front, or a combination of the two methods, forces the carrier and its contents forward. As the friction soon wears out leather carriers, A American genins will be called upon to invent a metal carrier on "ball-bearings." With leather tubes about ninety per cent of the power applied is lost in overcoming the friction and in waste, only ten per cent of the total force applied being used to propel the carrier. The charge for sending pneumatic letters in Paris WAS 15c. each in 1879, and the territory covered was but a small part of the city. Today every part of Paris is reached by the tubes, and the charge is 10c.
per letter, the same as our special delivery. Nine varieties of the Paris pneumatic letters are collected. Probably many of the readers of the Round Table have one or more of them. They bear a map of the city OD the face of the envelope, showing the different sections served by this post. The Berlin and Vienna pneumatic letters are simpler in design.
There are no special design on London Round Table. Army Worm Remedies. H. C. Deming, of Hurrisburg, has discovered a solution, which by an actual test, killed the army worm in ten seconds.
Take a about two ounces of the metal cadmium dissolved in one pound of nitric acid, which has previously been diluted in five quarts of water. Then add five quarts of water and mix thoroughly. Use an ordinary sprinkler or atomizer. This preparation should be made in a stoneware vessel, but when ready for use can be put in other receptacles. The experiment station at State College has issued the foliowing: "One of the remedies which has been recommended for destroying the army worm spraying with paris green in the proportion of one pound to 150 to 200 gallons of water.
It appears very improbable that, if the spraying is done with the dilute solution and at least a- month before the crop will be harvested, enough of the poison will remain upon the latter to cause any injury. It will be wise, however, not to use a stronger BOlution than that recommended above, nor to spray shortly before cutting the forage. "The station is desirous of securing more specific information on this point, and would like samples of different forage crops which have been sprayed, together with accurate date of spraying, the "strength of the solution used, the amount applied per acre, its efficiency i in destroying of the worms and the yield per acre crop." Fiendish Murder. One of the most fiendish murders ever committed in this locality was perpetrated at the little mining village of Darragh, Westmoreland county, near the Madison coal works, Sunday night about 12 o'clock. Patrick Coyle, an old grey-haired miner 70 years of age, was pounded and choked to death by his son, Walter Coyle, aged 24 years.
Old Mrs. Coyle, the mother of the murderer, was an eye witness to the horrible crime, and on her but finally compelled to flee. knees pleaded for the life a of her husband, demented Coyles wife recently became and was sent to an asylum Friday last, Coyles aged parents taking charge of her infant. Young Coyle came home late Saturday night and was reproached by his father for drinking and neglecting his child. The young man sprang at his father and choked and beat him to death.
The mother sounded the alarm number of stalwart miners of the neighborhood came and after a desperate struggle overpowered the murderer. The sheriff was sent for and Coyle was placed in jail at Greensburg. All but One for Silver.
