ter how efficient the man may be.
Some Great Northern employees say he
would rather discharge a man than
cat, and they have to count noses at
the main Office and all along the line
every day to see who's alive"
James J. Hill began to work for him
self when he was 10 years old. He left
school to go to work In a country store
in the little Ontario village OF Rock
wood, and in the intervals of weigh
ing out groceries he read Caesar. and
dreamed that some day he would be a
great soldier or great literary man.
Now. at the age Of 60. he finds that fate
has made him a millionaire railroad
man. His fleets of merchant steamers
have blackened the skies over the great
lakes with their smoke, and his rail.
roads have reached out from the in.
land seas to the Pacific.

agent OF the Northwestern Packet
Company and known as one of the solid
business men of ST. Paul. Now he Is
6O-and a man cannot be said to be old
at that age.
Mr.. Hill has house In st. Paul which
cost him half million to build. The
house, the grounds, the greenhouses.
etc. and the works OF art which the
house contains are said to be altogether
worth nearly two millions. The paint
ings alone in the house are valued at
over 100000. When Mr., Hill built his
house In St. Paul he gave at the same
time 100000 to found college for
the education of Catholic priests. About
eight miles out of st. Paul Mr.. Hill has
a summer home which Is complete in
its equipments, and where he spends
with his family the hot months.
Hill saw more clearly than any one
else in st. Paul that the Northwest
must develop tremendously. and that
the way to win great wealth most rap
idly was to 90 into the transportation
business. He wasn't yet ready to be-

west. on the Red River Of the north,
near the Canadian border. For time
he ran a line of steamers on the Red
River in connection with the carts. and
thus forced the powerful Hudson Bay
Company to divide its trade with him.
Something that no one else has ever
done unless il was the first John Jacob
Astor.
When he became manager OF the st.
| Paul & Pacific Railroad he set out 10
learn and did learn the entire work
! ings of the business. The strain was
heavy upon his health. but he made the
railroad pay from the start.
Then he set about extending his own
road to the great Western ocean. Hav.
ing reorganized the st. Paul 4 Pacific
as the ST. Paul, Minneapolis & Mani
toba, he set out in the winter by him
self, with three or four dogs as his only
companions, TO explore the route to the
Pacific which he meant to follow. His
outfit included only the dogs. small
canoe, a sled. two or three boxes OF
sausage, coffee, bareback, camp cook

bearings by the sun and compass by

Electric Fish,

Some Interesting facts have recently
been compiled with reference to fishes
which have the power of generating
electric discharges. or the fifty spe-
cles of fishes possessing organs capable
OF giving electric discharges. three
have particular interest. These are
the torpedo fish. which Is found in the
Bay of Biscay. and belongs to the skate
family; the electric eel of the Orinoco;
and the thunderer fish. found In the
Nile and other African waters. The
charge is developed by some chemical
process occurring in the plate In which
the electric nerve tilaments end. and In
some Instances the discharge Is from
the head TO the tail. while in the case
OF other fishes the reverse Is true In
full-sized electric eel or gymnotus,
the voltage In probably from 800 to 500
volts. and is easily capable of stunning
q man. The momentary currents are
sufficient to defect q galvanometer or
magnetic a needle. 1t Is to be noted
that the generation and intensity Of
the discharge are under the control of
the animal, which Is apparently in NO
way affected by the action. Also, there
are no insulating materials In the FISH.
and the greatest economy Is shown in
the generation Of the electrical energy.

The death of student by starvation IS

countless other students, but in their eases

was of the most CHEEKY disposition and

lately caused some questioning, but he an.

of the brain, brought on, as the physicians
say, by overwork and lack OF proper nour-
ishment, were his poor circumstances

student could starye to death in these
days, and this incident suggests that it
would be we'll for the authorities TO keep
closer watch on the daily lives of stu,

Sometimes he would walk, sometimes
ride on his sled hauled by the dogs and
sometimes navigate the streams with
his canoe. He rode horseback over
some stretches. procuring saddle ami
mails as best he could.
The open air and exercise of that
memorable trip made new man of
him. and when It was finished he had
found a peerless route for his road.
When Hill had his road roughly laid
out he sent civil engineers over the
route. put 10000 men grading and lay
Ing track, and built the whole line with
hardly break at a rate of not far from
mile day. Such IA thing was never
done before and never will be done
again.
Hill in politics has always been a
Democrat and is a great admirer OF
Cleveland. He Is said to be worth S25..

Advantages or Hudson to New York.

Advantages or Hudson to New York.
Reasoning Out a Metropolis" Is the
title Of an article on the Greater New
York, written by Ernest Ingersoll for
the st. Nicholas. In speaking of the
growth of cities during the early part
of the century, Mr.. Ingersoll says:
How could New York double it's pop
ulation in fifteen years, and beat its
great rival. Philadelphia. when the lat
ter was surrounded by far wider belt
of rich farms and populous towns? 1t
was due primarily TO the fact that
Robert Fulton brought here his steam
boat. and that New York men knew
how to take advantage of the inven
ton. Philadelphia, also, had the steam
boat, you will reply. Yes; but she did
not have the Hudson River.
The Hudson had from the first been
an advantage TO New York, because 1t
afforded "A highway for $50 miles in
land, and thus had greatly aided in the
early settlement of the interior of the
State and Of Western New England.
BY the improvement of the steamboat,
river-trayel at once became SO cheap
and speedy that the country dealers
| and the farmers themselves could go
| straight down to New York, to buy
goods or do their shopping at first
hand. This brought great deal OF
new business, both wholesale and re-
tail. to New York. some of which was
taken away from its rival cities. More
over, the steamboats, and towboats less
ened the cost of bringing building ma
terials. grain, hay, meat, and all the
country grown food found in city mar
| kets, and therefore lessened the ex-
pense and increased the comfort Of llV-
ing and working here.
