A Railroad ALONG the canaI-Maybe.

A Washington special to the Balti-
more Sun of recent date says:
No pending legislation before the
Maryland Legislature is watched
with more interest here than the
measures relating to the Chesapeake
and Ohio Canal. Many suggestions
have been thrown out in the last six
months as to what ought to be done
and what is likely to be done. Sen
timent here favors very much the
project of a railroad, but it is gen
orally conceded by practical people
that there is little probability Of re-
ceiving sufficient capital under any
proposition to restore the canal as q
waterway Since the destructive
freshet of last June the canal has been
totally abandoned, with the few miles
restored and operated above George
town and a space OF similar extent in
the vicinity of Cumberland. From
information which comes here to in
terested parties from Annapolis the
impression is that a measure will be
agreed upon which will result in the
construction of railroad from Cum
berland to Washington, which will be
tapped at Williamsport by branch
to be built by the Western Maryland
Railroad. This, it is said, would be
generally satisfactory, as it would
give to Baltimore the advantage of
cheaper coal and would also give rail
road facilities to the lower parts of
Washington, Frederick and Mont
gomery counties, and bring them at
the same time in close connection
with Baltimore, Georgetown and
Washington.

Uncommon Game in These Parts.

For over u week past a flock of
about dozen wild geese have been
staying in the marsh near Col. John
f. Schley's residence couple of miles
from town. They have been shot at
a number Of times, but Mr.. Taylor
Powell is the only person who has
bagged any of the game. Tuesday
morning Mr.. Powell shot one of the
geese on the fly. 1t measured feet
2 inches from tip to tip of its wings,
and weighed ten pounds.
On Tuesday afternoon Mr. Thomas
Warfield shot a fine, large wild tur-
key few miles above town, along
the river. There were three of the
turkeys together, but the others flew
away before Mr.. Warfield could get
second shot at them. The turkey
was bought by Mr.. J. n, Trussell,
who afterward sold it again.

4 Model Newspaper.


One of the remarkable things in
journalism is the growth of the Wash
ington Star. a few years ago the Star
was a modest little four-pase paper
with a limited circulation, with no
great pretensions in journalistic
achievements. To-day it is an eight
page sheet, fully abreast with the
times, with all the accessories of the
wonderful modern newspapers. Its
circulation has kept pace with its in
crease in excellence, and now it is so far
ahead OF the other Washington pa
pers that they are not in the race. 1t
is still growing, moreover, and the cir
culation that was 27,S4l daily in Jan
uary, 1889, was in December of the
same year 31,653. Editorially, typo
graphically, and in every other re-
spect, the Star is model newspaper.

The Strength Of Oxen.

STRONG as an OK" is 10 false com
pariSon. The strength of oxen is
tested, in a rough way, every dav
wherever they are used. But not long
ago it was tested in an exhibition in
Germany. in way which shows that
some very powerful cattle a2e bred
there
At Sto..karh, in the Baden highlands,
thl; exhibition Of the strength of oxen
Was given, and a test made of the cap
acitr of about one hundred different
pairs Of cattle. One of these tests was
to determine what was the greatest
weight which pair Of oxen could draw
over a kllometer about two thirds OF
mile-on common road
The road used had been made heavy
bv rain lasting several DAYS. and 8
railroad track had to be crossed on tn.
way. We must assume, however, that
the road was pretty good one.
None OF the drivers In this combat
We're allowed 10 use the whip upon
their animals. but were required to
stimulate them to effort with the voice
only.
Ibit.I THESE circumstances no FEWER
than five splendid teams succeeded in
drawing over the ground load of more
than thirty live thousand pounds. or
more than seventeen American tons.
Several other teams succeeded in haul
ing loads hut little inferior to this. All
this without the whip: and it is. in
decd doubted if the whip could have
made them achieve so much.
Then there was a contest of speed
the requirement being that the cattle
should draw a weight of somewhat
more than two tons over a distance Of
a kilometer in the shortest possible
time
The quickest team in the contest
made the kilometer IN eight minutes.
and the Slowest re Iuired but little less
than eleven minutes. Some horses.
the tieetest OF mans servants. would
have occupied more time than this
