ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATCH.l
ALTOONA, April 27.-At the Pennsylva-
MIA Railroad draughting rooms in this city
new compound locomotive is being
planned. 1t will be constructed with a
view of using less fuel. There have been a
number of compound locomotives built, but
all so complicated that they were not equal
to the work claimed for them. If the new
locomotive proves a success, it will make a
change in the whole motive power OF the
road.
A new freight locomotive is also being
planned, half as heavy again as the largest
class of freight locomotives now in use on
the system. 1t will weigh about $780, 900
pounds.

Parasites of the Blood.

Some years ago a Russian observer
discovered in the blood of birds living
organisms strongly resembling those
existing in the blood of persons
attacked by malarial fever. It has
since been found that these minute
parasites are much more common than
was at first suspected. COld-bIOoded
animals are especially liable to them,
and the carnivOra more so than other
warm-blooded animals; but it is only
rarely that they seem to cause incOn-
venience, and in only four or five out
of three hundred birds examined did
death result in consequence Of LESSONS
produced by the parasites. In those
cases the symptoms were identical
with those observed in victims of ma
IariaI fever.

with a large number of other members.
stopped at d wayside inn for relay of
stage hOrses-it being before the days

changing anecdotes about their States.
Young Benton was silent during all
the evening. just before they began
to retire, some one asked Benton why
he didn't talk. He said he didn't know
much, and had nothing to talk about.
This caused a laugh, and an old mem
Der asked him where he was from, and
if he was ashamed of his State.
"NO, answered young Benton; "but
I don't think you viii care to hear
where I am from.

Well, then, I'm from Arkansas.

but young Benton was voted to be the

away. There was already a cabin on the
site selected for the camp, so the EFst
thing done was to build a corral for the
horses. For this stakes were wanted.
With the cross cut saw a section of the

four sides of the square laid out and in a

an annex for hay and grain was built

thus used, which was about one-third Of
