TRACKLAYING IN NINE MONTHS.

In Montana There Have Been Built 127
Miles.
Railway construction has proceeded at q
safe and moderate pace this year, and yet
in almost every state and territory new
lines have been completed or commenced,
says the Railway Age. Returns show that
during the nine months from Jan. l to
Sept. 80, 2,519 miles of main track have
been laid on 200 different lines in the United
STATES. while a large amount OF grading has
been done on which the rails are yet to go
down. There are in sight over 1,50O miles
of road on which track is expected to be
laid before the end of the year, SO that we
feel safe in repeating the estimate made
three months ago that the trscklavins of
1892 will aggregate not far from 1000 miles.
OF course if the winter should set in very
early ana severely it may put a stop to
some work now nearing completion, but
October and November are q good ssason
for railway building and many hundreds of
miles of track will be added during those
months, under any contingency. Since the
statement for July l there have been LAO
miles added-almost as much az were re-
ported for the previous six months. The
amount credited to Montana for the nine
months is 1913 miles.
New Timing system on the Burlington.
The Burlington has adopted a method of
regulating the clocks on it's system which
seems as absolutely perfect as human in
Renuity can devise. AT present only 100
CLOCKS are connected in the circuit, which
extends to the fartbest limit of it's lines,
All the clocks are regulated by a master
clock at the general headquarters in Chi
caRo and are corrected every hour, even If
a quarter of q second out OF the way. The
exact time Is obtained for the master clock
by an independent observation established
by the Burlington. Each clock is furnished
with winding power by a small, indepen-
dent battery, which lasts from twelve to
fourteen months without replenishinQ.
The most important improvement in the
clocks Is an arrangement by which
each clock is wound every two min
utes. The handspring of its largest clock
is no larger than that of an ordinary
watch. 1t is wound to it's full tension and
only unwinds for two minutes, when il ia
again brought to full tension. This makes
the power almost absolutely uniform wear
in and year ont. When once regulated its
clocks rarely vary more than a quarter of a
second an hour. When connected on the
general circuit even this variance is cor
rected every on. The system seems to
leave no room for improvement.

BELLIES or NORTHERN ITALY.

s'The prettiest women in the world
are those of Northern Italy," said
Henry G. Barlow, who has just COM
pleted a trip around the world.

used in describing them. A wax doll
may be pretty. The women of North
ern Italy are gioriously, maddingly

French gentry and the old Italian no.

country and the voluptuous, half ori-
entail beauty of the other. If you
want TO understand what the poet
meant by the dark eyes splendop go

perfect figures, nor Spain such CO.

face aud figure the sweet cadences of
the Italian tongue, and | defy any
youngster to get away from Milan
without regret. Some one said that
Italian is the mother tongue of the
Goddess of Love; certainly there is
nothing sweeter--it is melody itself"

A REVIVAL OF TARTAN.

There is revival of tartan effects
in millinery and silks, and gay blouses
of tartan silk are soon in connection
with wooden dresses. The importers
have not invested heavily in these
tartan silks, and they are difficult to
obtain. As the last venture of the
importing houses in tartan
silks has only recently been
cleared off the bargain counters, they
are not anxious to invest again in what
may once more prove but passing
fad. The prettiest fur trimming for
dresses is black minks' tails. This
costs about So yard and is hardly
sdistinguishable in color and appear
ance from Russian sable, which costs
about SIG yard. These narrow
borders, an inch on the pelt, promise
to be more used than any wider trim
