The Southwestern Passenger Pool.

CHICAGO, Feb. 2-Representatives of the
lines interested in Southwestern passenger bust
ness met here to day to take action in regard to
preserving their roads from injury, growing out
of the dissolution of the old association. It was
unanimously resolved to organize a new pool.

between Chicago, Kansas City. Leavenworth,

between st. Louis, Council Bluffs and Omaha;
Peoria and the same Missouri points, and Peoria
and Chicago. The old agreement was adopted,
with but slight changes, to take effect on Feb l,
and continue until Dec. 81, 1887. The Chicago
and Council Bluffs lines agreed to act only
through the arbitrator in making and meeting
competition. Messrs. Cable, McMullen and Pot

Neither the Northwestern nor the st. Paul road
is "a party to the new agreement, and both are
consequently outside the jurisdiction of any pas

rate-cuttug in their territory would involve their
revenues to greater degree than those of the
Rock Island. and therefore, they will probably
maintain rates firmly.

hallway Lease Declared void.

TRENTON, N. j., Feb 2.--Chancellor Runyon
to-day read an opinion in the case of Vail VS..
The New Jersey Central and the Philadelphia G.
Reading railway companies in which he declares
that the lease made by the former TO the latter
is null and void. The unanimous consent of the
stockholders to the transaction is necessary, and
there is no evidence of their acquiescence An
other for setting aside the lease is the de-
fault of the Reading Company to pay the inter
est when due. The Chancellor has ordered all
the property Of the Central road to be transfer
red back to that corporation, and an accounting
taken.

Mr.. Qnigley states that notwithstanding all re-

one of the most elegant and complete combined

The Skies Frightening.

The impression prevails with locomotive
builders that they have got pretty well over
their hard shedding. Within the last sixty days
several works have received orders for from five
to thirty engines, for delivery during the spring
and summer In the long run, locomotive build
ers do not suffer; periods of depression and ac-
tiyity make less difference to them than to most
manufacturers; their employed labor must suf-
fer however if work is slack. The Bald wins,
with their capacity of twelve engines per week,
have been running not more than one fourth
of full capacity, if that much; even at
this time, they have not secured contracts suf-
fcient to warrant them in increasing their labor
force TO anything like its 1884 limits. 1t is un-
derstood however, that within short time
Some inquiries have been made which promise
increased activity. The New York and New
Jersey works have been fortunate in securing
some work, but at very low prices. The Pitts

fves for the Vandala aud the Chicago & Great

have been very Fortunate Within ninety days
orders 'for from TO- 900 to $4,000 cars have been
placed and all the works, SO far as heard from,

A Statement Which Cannot Be Substan-
The Chicago papers still doing their best
to create belief among shippers and with rail
road men that the Southern through lines. as
they call them, meaning the Indianapolis roads,
are doing good business at the expense of the
Chicago roads. The Chicago Tribune of Sun
day says: UNLESS the roads running east from
this city take steps at once that will stimu-
late shipments via Chicago to the East they may
just as we'll retire from the through business
altogether. East bound shipments are getting
lighter from day to day. The total shipments
of flour, grain and provisions east from this
city during the last week by all lines amounted
10 only 70, 246 tons, against 2o.952 tons for the
week previous. How small this amount is for
this season of the year is shown by the fact that
the shipments for the corresponding week last
year amounted to So. 737 tons, and business was
then considered dull Hardly any of the east
bound roads earned dividends last year 1t is
hard to see bow they will be able to earn ex-
penses even this year with only third of that
amount Of business II the railroad editor of
the Tribune will give the matter moments

uation. In the years 1882, 1883 and 1884 the
corn crop on the l.. B. & W., the
O., l., St L. 6 c., the l., ID. g. S.. the
the l. 81 ST. L. and Vandalia were failures, while
in 1885 there was an immense crop, and this is
what the roads are now hauling. The c., l., St.
L. d G. and l., b. 81 w. may possibly touch ter
ritory of the Chicago roads more or less but not
sufficiently to affect the business of Chicago

Fairfax Payne is the pretty name OF
little heroine who lives at Monroe, N. Z.
Some persons were eNcrting themselves
to estab ish an Episcopal church in that
town, and, while others were giving oil
their means, little Fairfax had no money
to give, and all her little schemes for
raising money came to naught. She had
one possession, however that was the
pride Of her mothers heart and the envy
of every other mother in the town, and
this the child determined to sacrifice in
the good cause. 1t was her mass of gold
en- hair that fell far below her waist, and
which She had been led TO believe would
be worth goodly sum cat the North. "
The hair was cut off and consigned tc
lady in the North but unfortunate
ly, the silken trcsscs, though wonder
fully beautiful, had very little commercial
value, owing to the fact that not one
head in a thousand las hair of exactly
that shade, and So was the highest offer
made by New York hair dealers for Fair
fax Payne's sacrifice The kind lady to
whom the hair had been consigned had
not the heart to disappoint the child
with such poor return, and it occurred
to her to make an appeal to other chill
dren through HoPer's Ioung People. A
touching letter from the lady was pub
lished in that paper, and in short time
upwards Of $50 was subs ribed in small
sums by the young readers. This fun
was expended in the purchase of com

name by the little girl who dedicated he

he did not attempt to fly away when
went to pick him up. l brought him

His body is dark brown, covered with
fine hairs, which look like feathers when
put under a magnifying glass. Th3
wings show all the colors of the rainbow.
arranged in the most artistic manner.
The wings themselves are transparent,
like those of fly, and the color is given
to them by fine scales, which come
off very easily. The antohne which
grow from each side of
the head are black and white.
Although you all have seen prob bly,
many butterflies as beautiful as ny pet,
l don't believe you ever watched ono eat,
and that is very interesting process.

clings to it as if he really loved me. /

gradually disappears; and til n &NIr.
Dusty Wings slowly coils his trunk
around and slows it away in vertical
opening in the center of his head. The
trunk is SO delicate that when it is coilcd
UP, it looks like fine watch-spring. If
he has not had enough, he lets me know
by waving his trunk in the air The first

Photography in nnhllalmolog1.

Mcssrs. w. I. jackson and J. D. Web
ster have lately succeeded in obtaining
good photographs of the rctiaa of the iy-
ing human eye, illustrations OF which are
given in the English photographic Ne'0a.
They were able to bring the time
of exposure for the negative to within
two minutes and half, snd it is very
probable that technical skill will further
reduce the time and difficulties. The
chief obstacles to shortening the time OF
exposure, 50 far encountered, are the
color Of the retinal reflection ard the feet

OF absorbing the ultra violet rays. 1t te'ns
