the coast Of Kamschatka there 10 an
island known as The Island Of Talk

nected with this spot Of land and the
one that gives it the name it bears Is
this, according to an Asiatic legend
The hrst inhabitants of the far north
did not employ dogs. but drew their
walrus rib sleds themselves. After
ages had elapsed men made an attemps
to use the dogs of that region-which,
by the way, talked just as men do
as beasts of burden. The talking dogs.
however, argued the case with their
would-be masters. and were not long
in proving that they had enough to do
to catch game for themselves and the
children Of men. But the men soon
learned the use of the bow and arrow
and the spear. thus running the occu-
patton Of the talking dogs. Again an
attempt was made to harness them
to sleds, but they rebelled. and all
swan out to the island, afterward
known as THE Island of Talking
Dogs" Here the game was scarce.
and the dogs soon turned cannibals,
and by the end of the first winter
there were only seven left. Some hu-
name Kamschatkans volunteered to
row out to the island and bring of the
remnant Of the dog colony. But the
dogs refused to leave the barren island
saying. What people are you? We
have never seen you before" For this
untruth Chami. the dog god. took their
voices from them. and until this day
they have been the dumb servants o.

b. . O. Improvement Completed.


The improvements on the main line
OF the Baltimore and Ohio. west of.
and between Martinsburg, w. Va, and
North Mountain, were completed No
vember LIST. They cover a distance of
nearly four miles, starting three miles
west of Martinsburg, and extending
some distance west of Myers Hole,
which IL near the North Mountain sta
tion. At Myers Hole the line was
changed. taking out some very objec-
tionable curvature, and the roadbed
raised nearly fifteen feet, eliminating
two grades Of AZ feet per miles which
came together at Myers Hole. and sub
stituting therefor an almost level
track. This point on the road has
always been a dangerous one and
many freight wrecks have occurred
there. Apart from doing away with
the dangerous feature of two sharp
down grades coming together. as was
the case in this instance, the saving in
operation of the road by the change
will be very large, as it enables the
tons per train to be greatly increased
and reduces the liability to accident to
the minimum.
At Tablers the road bed has been
lowered about thirteen feet, and the
same at Tabs, besides taking out OBJ
jectionable curvature and reducing the
rate Of grades at these points from ~
feet per mile to ten feet per mile. thus
increasing the cars that can be hauled
per train. Though these improve
ments have cost quite a sum of money,
the expenditure is fully justified by
the great saving in operation.
