The citizens of Avon Park and Haines
City, Fla, forty miles distant, have de-
cioed. according to a correspondent of
Ths Manufacturers Record to build a
railroad with wooden rails, which are
large enough to be laid so that they will
be half-imbedded in the sand, without
other ballast. They are to be held in
position by wooden pins, two inches in
diameter and eighteen inches long,
while the ends are connected by plank
couplers placed underneath and held by
pins. Not pound of metal will be used
in construction of the tracks Most of
the rails" will be furnished gratis by
property owners along the right of way.
The company believes that in a few
years the fruit, vegetable and passenger
business over the route will pay for
regular steel rails, when the others will
be used for ties. A small steam dummy
will furnish power for the road.

Babies Born Will Teeth.

In olden times it was considered q
direful omen for baby to be born with
teeth or even to cut" them before the
cases in which babies showed up from
two to half a dozen teeth on the day Of
their birth, and in one case, that of

says that in that country "it is consid-
cred nothing unusual for children to
be born with teeth" and Chambers
says the same of several South African
tribes.
