The work of combination aud consolidation
amongst the great railroad powers continues to
go on, and il would not be strange at the present
rate of progress if the entire railroad system or
the country got presently into the hands of ALI
dozen men. The latest consolidation is that
of the Erie railroad and the New York Central
Jim Fisk and Vanderbilt having buried the
hstchet and agreed to merge their interests. A
consolidation Of all the Interests OF these two
roads, with their extensive ramification. will
affect the interests OF nearly every railroad in
the country.
Another consultation or absorption on NAM
moth scale is proposed, being nothing less tn an
the leasing of the railway and canal properties
of the Joint Companies OF New jersey by the
already gigantic Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany. The Pennsylvania Railroad COMPANY
ii seems, want an outlet at New York for their
traffic, the better to compete with the great
lines centering at New York. which it cannot
have. II IL trades through Philadelphia, without
connecting with the Camden and Amboy and
Joint Companies. These New Jersey compa-
MES have not the facilities at Jersey City to
accommodate the rapidly growing trade OF the
Pennsylvania railroad. The Joint Companies
have purchased Harsimns Cove, at JERSEY
City, at a cost Of about half a million
of dollars, which, until improved lies a
dead weight on the companies hands
This purchase was made mainly to accommo-
date the trade of the Pennsylvania railroad
hut who u 20 improve il, as IL must first be i'm
proved? The New Jersey companies are Of
opinion that, as AL this additional great OUTLAW
IS mainly to accommodate the Pennsylvania
company, 1t should be at their expense, the more
especially as, If IL puts its money there il will
10 that extent cement the joint interests, and
naturally hold them together, giving to the
route all the through trsffic of the Pennsylya-
mia road, which otherwise, at some future day
might be tempted away. The PhiIsdelphis
Ledger says that the project OF the lease has
been discussed in an informal way for some
time between parties prominent on both sides,
and that " the alleged difference as TO whether
the price shall be ten or twelve per cent per
cent. per annnm Is perhaps not so wide as to be
uDadjustsble."
As a rule the consolidation business does not
strike ne fayorably, the public, in nine cases out
of ten, being the sufferers by it, but We mus.
say We should not be sorry to see the Pennsyl-
Sania Railroad Company have the handling of
the roaes between Philadelphia and New York
Tor while, as an experiment. Ifthat company
can introduce upon these roads the admirable
system OF management by which they have
made their Pennsylvania roads famous ali over
the world, the public viii havs every reason TO
rejoice in the change. We certainly 90 for cab

From the records kept at Nurs.
burg, in Bavaria, We get the fol-
lowing interesting facts:
In 1882 the earth cracked by
reason Of the heat, the wells and
streams In Alsace all dried up and
the bed of the river Rhine was
dry. In 1852 the heat was 60
great that the sand exposed to the
suns rays was hot enough to cook
eggs. In ll00 great numbers ol
soldiers in the campaign against
Bella died from the heat. In 1915
and 1877 crops Of hay and oats
failed completely. In 1903 and
1904 q man could have crossed,
dry shod, over the rivers Seine,
Loir, Rhine and Danube. In 1898
and 1894 a multitude Of animals
persisted by the heat, which was so
great that the harvest dried up.
In l440 the heat was extraordina-
ry. In 1888, 1889, l540, and 1541
all the rivers were nearly dried up,
In 1856 there was q great drouth,
which extended over nearly the
whole of Europe. In 1915 and
1916 there was, in Italy, France
and the Netherlands, an over.
powering heat. In 164S there
were fifty-eight consecutive days
of extreme heat. 1878 was very
hot, and as were the first three
years of the 18th century. In Ills
it did not rain a single time from
April to October. The growing
grain was burnt, the rivers dried
up, the theatres (but wherefore Il
not stately we're closed by com
mand Of the police. The ther
mometer showed 33 degrees
Reaumer, ,equivalentto l13 degrees

the fruit trees bloomed twice. Il
1923 and 1874 there was greA
heat. The summer 1746 was no
and dry, the growing grain beinI
calcined. 1t did not rain 70
months. 174S, 1754, 1780, 1857

A PLEA FOR SHORT DREssEs.-
A school, girl, whose head seem to
contain something else than false
hair, thus discusses the subject
Of short dresses:
Imagine the inability Of a young
lady, returning from school on a
rainy day, carrying books and bas-
ket,and It may be with refractory
veil to keep in check-imagine, l
say, the inability Of such a belea-
CURED person to manage all these
and hold up the ample drapery
which used to be indispensable?
Think Of the majesty of promen-
aiding the Broadway Of our little
town on a fine afternoon with an
ample cloud of dust following on
at an unpleasant distance, and
then having to come to an abrupt
stand.still to disengage ones trail
from dry goods boxes, sidewalk
spikes, ETC., every few yards! /
imagine the fun of hunting hens
nests in the old barn at grandma's q
climbing that queer ladder and
jumping from the big beam, in 6
long dress! Think Of reaching
the grapes on that wild vine in the
pasture from the topmost rail oI
the high fence, and Of running NJ
stairs in a hurry, and both arm
full, with a dozen yards Of alpacc'
clinging to your flying feet Shades
of BloOmer! Why, it destroy
half the fun of living, come Il
reach the gist Of the matter.
If we must needs don, with ouI
womanhood, a bus Of dignity witt
an acre Of cloth, let us bunch 1t VI
in some other way, and do awaI
with the misery Of a trail. KinC
Fashion, have pity! Let our gar
ments be measured by the rule oi
common sense, and may justice
hold the tape and mercy of th'
scissors, when long skirts are onc'
more put upon us!

A Man Yanked zap by the Feet and
carried off by n Balloon,


The balloon that goes with De
Haven's circus seems fated to give
origin to startling incidents. To
the list Of adventures and acci-
dents that have attended 1t, we add
another thrilling scene at this place,
on the evening of the 9th inst. 1t
was inflated in the presence of
1900 people, the wind blowing
sharply from the east. The @ro-
nant took his position in the frail
bark, the rope that held it to the
earth was loosened, and sheering
as it started, a sharp east wind
blowing at the time, IL caught a
second party, who became entan-
gled in the ropes, and rapidly as
cended with the involuntary ex-
plorer hanging by the feet.
AT the height of thirty feet the
unwilling traveller succeeded in
catching the horizontal rope near
the bottom of the balloon with his
hands, and thus supported mount
ed to a height of 400 feet, and
moved rapidly in a westerly direc-
ton.
The rapid coolinga nd condensa-
ton of heated air sRd gases that
supported it, and the extra weight
of hundred and eighty pounds,
caused it to descend almost as fast
as it went up, landing the two pas
sengers,with heavy Concussion on
the caves Of a house from which
they fell, bruised, gashed, and
fainting, to the ground. AT frs
they were supposed to be killed
but prompt medical attention sooT
recussitated them, and their hurt
proved not very serious.
The emotions of the man hang
ing by his feet and hands alonl
and moving rapidly through thl
air, at an elevation Of four OF ivl
hundred feet, may be better mag
ined than described. L vas thI
most thrilling scene We ever vii
messed, and We do not caro- q se
