Paner Rails.

The latest thing in paper is paper
rails. 1t is claimed that they are sue
perior to steel or iron in almost every
point. the cost per mile one>third that
of steel, and they will last much
longer, beng almost indestructiOle,
there is no contraction from heat or
cold, consequently no loose or open
joints, and being so much lighter
than steel or iron, the rails car be
made longer and connections perfect
ly solid. making the read as smooth
as one continuous rail. The adhesion
of the drivers of the engine to this
material will be greater than that OF
steel, consequently the same weight
engine will have larger load.
There will be great saving of tuel..;;
the smoothness of the rail will lesson
the wear and tear of rolling stock,
and 20 say nothing of the difference
in first cost, the reduction in machin.
cry and repairs will be 9 big item.
The rails will neither rust nor rot,
and there will be no danger of acci>
dents from rusty nails in frosty
weather. A Chicago company, it is
reported, is to make test of paper
rail in comparison with steel. From
the advantages of paper over steel
enumerated by the inventor, it is
simply wonderful that railroads have
not discovered the improvement long
ago. Paper car wheels have been in
use tor many years, and we have
paper houses, paper table>cloths and
napkins, paper boxes paper hats,
paper soles to our boots, and paper
money. The inventive genius OF the
country seems to be set in the direc.
tion OF making paper fill the greatest
number OF uses possible.

A strange disease has broken

A strange disease has broken
out among the hogs in Dane county,
also in portions of the southern part
of the state. The animals affected
refuse to eat, delight in thrusting
their shouts into cold water, and
wander about as if seeking for some
thing they cannot find. After few
days of this conduct they become
very much emaciated and die. Wash

nent farmers in the town of

say that the disease is not cholera,

Week before last Ned Weather

this village, narrowly escaped being
drowned with his brother-in-law,
Charlie Dodge, of Monroe, while
fishing on Lake Koshkonong, this
state. They were rolling il a boat
about a mile from shore when Char
lie GOT large fish on his line and
called to Ned to assist him in get
ting it in the boat In doing so the
boat capsized, throwing its occupants
into the water. Ned managed by
hard work to get onto the boat,
which was floating just under the
surface of the water, and padded 1t
towards the shore while Charlie held
on behind in the water. In a short
time assistance arrived and they
were rescued, and with the exception
of a good ducking were none the
worse fore their adventure. Ned
lost valuable breech loading shot

THE hopes of the Chattanooga, Tennessee
Democrat are certainly very easily raised.
1t remarks that as soon as the railroad
commission bill becomes an operating law
in Tennessee the utmost activity may be
Anticipated in railroad building. Wehardly
know whether the Democrat is whistling
to keep up It's courage in the premises,
or whether it is merely indulging in irony.
One thing we do know, and that is that the
state may prepare itself to rest with the
railroad mileage it has when the bill
hecnYnes n law in force.
