RAILROAD MATTERS.
BOSTON 81 MAINLAND MAINE CEN
TRIAL EARNINGS.

The business of the Boston 81 Maine at
the present time compares very fayorab-y
with that of year ago. The gross in
come for January and February made
gains over last year. and the figures for
March Will show still better. The pRssen-
ger business during the winter has shown
slight falling of u but is now beginning
to improve.
The expenditures on account of snow
during the winter were much lighter
than last year. January was compare
lively fres from severe storms, and there
was only one in February that called for
an unusual expense.
The chief improvement for this year
Improvement that will involve heavy ex-
penditure-will be the abolition of grade
crossings.
Business on the Maine Central road this
season is also showing satisfactory gains.
There is, however, no intention in the
immediate future of bringing the road
;nto the Boston & Maine system, nor Of
increasing its dividend.

with an ordinary year.
The year Just closed has Eeen without
doubt the most prosperous OF any In the
history of the society. Sales have IN
creased about 20 per cent. over those oil
two years ago, the increase amounting to
over SIC, 600. while the ordinary expenses
have been kept within the limits OF form
er years, and the cost of material and
manufacturing has been largely de-
creased.

PET ANIMALS AS CAUSES OF DIS.
EASE.
(From the Medical News. }

FROM Tue MeuiCdl News
As the result of the announcement that
an Englishman had found TINT more than
10 per cent of the canaries and other
song birds that die in captivity succumb
TO tuberculosis, there has been consider
able attention given In the daily newspa-
pers to the possibility of human Infection
from that source. We are not of those
who like to set up scares of contagion at
every possible opportunity, but the fact
should be ever kept in mind that the
presence of pet animals in a home Is al
ways associated with certain amount
of danger.
Papers presented last summer at the
French Congress for Tuberculosis in Par
is demonstrate, to our minds, what has
been hitherto very doubtful, that aviary
and human tuberculosis are essentially
the same pathologio process. due to the
same germ, modified by cultural environ
ment, but convertible, under favorable
circumstances, one into the other.
We recall what Nooard. the greatest liv-
ing authority on tuberculosis.in animals,
and the man to whom we owe the best
culture methods for the tuberole bacillus.
found tuberculosis in a series Of autopsies
on dogs. These animals had previously
been considered very refractory to tuhercu
losis, so much that for time their blood
serum was used as n curative remedy for
the disease in human beings. The great
student OF comparative tn berculosis DEM
onstrated, in some 200 successive auIop-
sizes on unsolicited dogs that died at the
great veterinary school at Abort, near
Paris, that in more than half of the
animals there were tubercular LESSONS,
and in many Of these the LESSONS were of
such character as To make them facile
