Railroad Ties OF Mahogany.

While in Mexico on my last journey had
my breath taken away by the most magnif-
Gently constructed railroad in the world re-
fer to the Mexican Gulf road. where the ties

bridges built Of marble. The waste seems
criminal, bu. the builders are actuated by mo-

and marble along the track side. The road
hnsn't cost much to construct but il the ma
tsrials we're appraised &C ST. Louis or New

From the New London Telegraph.
Bicycle riders have been annoyed by dogs
running out from farm houses and swapping at
the wheels and at the legs OF the rider. A num-
Der of accidents have occurred from this cause
and not a few men have been bitten. 1t has
been problem with many riders to discover q
means of effectually driving away these dogs
but until recently none has been found. 1t re-
manned for William sidney Downs of Birming-
ham to solve the problem.
When starting on ride he carries several
big torpedoes, such as the boys use on the
Fourth of July. As the dog PUSHES up barking
and swapping Mr.. Downs casts a torpedo di.
rectly under the animal. The explosion and
the sting of the sand with the burn of the
powder successfully cures that dog of the de.
sire to attack any more wheels. II every
wheclman will thus provide against these ami
mails the road will soon be free of them.
