"A railroad only six thousand feet
long. but with grade of one-tifth
rise in every five on the average. and at
the steepeSt one in three. has been
built straight up Green Mountain, near
Bar Harbor, Maine. The roadbed is
solid rock, cut away to a plane, upon

is, sickness and death from eating
mushrooms. Even those which are or
dinarily considered safest and best
are at times objectionable, owing to
conditions affecting their growth. This
explains why experts in the selection of

Massachusetts has the credit of hav.
ing the largest shoe manufacturing in

due chiefly to her enterprise that America

Perhaps few are aware that the shoe

is next in importance and value to the
