will sit for n long time up to their

hand, they become very thirsty in such
weather, and in the backs of small Lon

TO drink. Mr.. Hagenbeck, the owner of
Thier park at Hamburg, has found
that his polar bears actually enjoy the
hottest sun of midsummer, and lie out
exposed to its rays when other animals
ore distressed by the heat. On the hot
test day which he remembers to have
felt in Hamburg he went round the gar
dens at midday to see IL the animals
needed any special treatment. Cases of
human sunstroke had been dropping in
the hospitals all the morning, and he
was not surprised to find both n tiger

But the polar bear had left its inner
cage and stretched itself fiat on the hot
stones, where it could enjoy to the full

They Arc the Coming Roads In ThickIy
Settled Parts of the Country.
The steel-track highway Is described
as a gutter steel track one-fourth of
an inch thick, five inches wide, fiat on
the bottom, with sides half an inch
high, then extending outward u and
a half inches. 1t is spiked to a longi-
tudinal timber laid on cross ties. No
spike heads are on the surface, and the
track Is perfectly smooth The track
is laid four feet eight and one-half
inches from center to center - tho
standard gauge of all wagons and rail-
road cars" The middle and sides are
filed in with stone-in fact, it is II
macadamized road, with steel tracks
for the wagon wheels. On this steel
track one horse will draw 20 times as
mueh as on a dirt road. This important
fact is commented upon at length.
Freight can be hauled on u steel track
road for less than half the average
charge on lateral oad This means
an economic revolution. The practice
of all trunk lines, in the language CT
one of the highest railroad officials In
h nation, is to charge all that the
traffic will bear to meet the fierce
competition of rival routes to the sea-
board, and the freight along lateral
roads is charged enough to a
on the whole IA satisfactory profit. This
robbery by the trunk lines, who control
all lateral feeders, has been carried to
such lengths that freight to and from
a distance of 1000 miles is carried to
and from market at less per ton than Is
charged on lateral roads for 100 miles"
There are in round numbers 1,50O,-

Women are the real heroes of the
world. Thousands on thousands of them
endure the dragging torture of the ills
peculiar to ~womankind in the silence of

and torture is written in the drawn
features, in the sallow skin, in the list

on the face.
Unborn modesty seals their lips. They
