BURGLAR PROVED TO DE noARDEn.
Owner of the Premises Had Hin;
Locked In II Bath Room.

]. b. Webster. POI South Twenty-fourth
street, telephoned the polica last night that
he had corraled a desperate housebreaker
in a room OF his residence and asked help
in completing the capture. The patrol wa
gon went on the jump to the number given.
When the officers had lined up before the
room in which the alleged burglar was con-
fined it was thought trouble would ensue.
No response was made to a summons to
surrender and after a parley the officers
opened the door and found man calmly re-
posing in the bathtub, too full of Christmas
cheer for utterance. He proved to be a
boarder who had come into the house un-
observed and had taken lodgings in the
family plunge instead of in his own room.

inkstand waiting on his desk for him. He
has been attending a session of the Interstate
Commerce commission, endeavOring TO have
the long and short haul clause relating to
the freight traffic Between Colorado and
California points more favorably adjusted.
The commission heard arguments and took
the matter under advisement.
Speaking of local matters that had trans

INCREASE IN THE MILEAGE
Record of Railroad Track Laid Dur
During thr Present Ncnr.

The mileage of new railroad track laid in
the United States during the year just
closing is almost precisely the same as that
in 1895, which corrected returns showed to
be l,SO3 miles. 1t is possible that a few
miles may be added to the record of the past
year. Such figures show only main line
track laid and make no actual account of
the work of grading and bridge building for
the very considerable mileage which did
not reach tho trackaying stage.
How the new mileage of 1896 compares
with that of the previous years of the
decade may be seen by the following figures
compiled by the Railway Age 1887, 1888;
1888, 7l06; 1889 5,230; 1890 $50: 1891, 4,2Sl
1892, 4192; 1893. 2,635; 1894, 1,9i9; 1895, 1SO3
1896. 1902 miles.
For ten years the railway builder has
travelled a steadily descending road of ac-
tivity, from $4,000 down to 800 miles. 1t
is believed that the bottom has now been
reached and that the annual record of rail-
way construction will now begin to show an
upward tendency.
The construction work of last year was
well distributed over the country, thirty
eight of the fcrty-nine states and territories
having share. although in some states 1t
was excessively small. The largest mileage
was laid in California, lS6 miles on eight
lines, followed by Louisiana with 154 miles
on five lines Michigan with 1i6 miles on
eleven lines Georgia, 81 miles on fourteen
lines, Pennsylvania, 80 miles on fifteen
lines, Florida, 10 miles on seven lines ami
down.
In eleven states and territories no track
was laid, these being: New Hampshire,
Massachusetts,. Rhode Island. Connecticut
Nebraska South Dakota, Wyoming, Arizona,
Nevada, Idaho and New Mexico.
The great area of the south continues to
receive the benefit of a larger mileage OF
new road than any other section, about $50

THE WHY SEAL.
How He InnOcentIy Lays Himself
Out to Catch UnsuspectinE Sea


Out to Catch Unsuspecting Sea
GuIIs.
From the New York Recorder.
The seal is probably the clumsiest ami
NAL In the world. He likes to bask in the
sun all day and when he moves he is ex-
ceedingly sluggish and awkward. 1t has
often been wondered how this animal
manages to secure it's favorite food, wild
sea fowl.
Sea gulls are. so wild that it is difficult
even for man to get within gunshot Of
one. The seal seems to realize that it
would be a waste Of time. to attempt to
crawl up on the gulls as they rest upon
the water and catch them unawares. So
he watches until the gulls are soaring
slowly through the air and close to the
waves. Then the seal dives into the sea
and swims underneath the waiter for
some distance BY the time he has man
aged to swim about 100 feet the gull has
forgotten the presence Of It's enemy This
gives the seal his opportunity. He eau
tiouSly rises to the surface of the water
at some distance from the point at which
ne diyed and allows merely the tip of his
greae nose to appear above the water
Remaining m this position, he gives his
enormous body a rotary motion, so that
his nose describes a circle on the surfa ce
of the ocean. He does this so skllfully
that to the gull his nose looks like a fish
at play. This catches the CULTS eye. ana
it at once darts down with the speed Of
an arrow, aiming straight for the little
dot. The seal sees ii coming and sinks a
few inches, and as the gull strikes the
water with tremendous force the seals
jaws close upward and the gull disa2-
