what a moguI Can DO.

Th.t was a remarkable demonstration Of
what Mogul can do, that occurred on the
New York Central the other day, when en-
CINE No. 948, one of the new Moguls, hauled
out train No. IL, the Southwestern Limited,
made up of two mail cars, five passenger
coaches and nine Wagner cars, sixteen cars
in all The total weight of the train was
1882, 900 pounds, or 9l6 tons, and the length
of the train, including the engine. was LIP
feet, or nearly a quarter of a mile. This
engine made the running time of the train
between New York and Albany, l43 miles,
in three hours and fifteen minutes.
There is no railroad in the world which
has a better roadbed, more skillful engi-
neers, or better equipment, backed by Loyal
men always alert for the safety of their pas 4
sengers, than the New York Central and
Hudson River railroad What road can
match its corps of men, from President Cal
laway down the long line of employees, to
the humble and faithful trackmen who
watch their sections of rail through the
long hours of the night and day, in order to
safeguard the lives Of the travellers on trains
whirling by their humble shanties, many Of
which nestle closely to the rails under their
neutrality-suspicious. from the Albany

NEW BICYCLE TRACK.
An InSe NOUS Device Possessing Some
Advantages, Among Them Dis
tinct Novelty.

A very ingenious bicycle track has
been newly invented by two southern
ers. While not a circle, nor an oval,
nor kite-shaped, it has neither begin
ming nor end, and the arrangement of
it is such that rider may travel
on it for an infinite distance with
out ever encountering another BIZ
cycler coming in the other direc-
ton.
One advantage of this style of track,
a diagram of which is shown here
with, is that long stretch of bicycle

The motor mechanism consists of one
or two gasoline motors according to
the power desired) supported upon
cross bars and driving wheels mounted
on the hind legs of The horse. 1t is ex-
tremely doubtful whether NJ. Lam

Motor Cycles and Railroads.

Motor cycles may have to be shipped
AS express and not as excess baggage.
The union of baggage men has taken
action against the big boxes in which
;hese machines are shipped and threat
N to go on strike if, it is said, the rail-
Dads insist upon the baggage men

Winter Homes of Birds.

Swallows migrate to Central
America and the southern part of
Mexico. They like it pretty warm.
Along about March they begin to APP
pear in the southern states, but they
seldom get far north until the latter
part of April. The robins don't care
for such warm climate, and very few
OF them get as far south as Mexico.

Most Expensive Feathers.

The tail feathers of the feriwah. a
rare member of the family of para
diseidae, or birds of paradise. are the
most expensive known. The only tuft
existing in England-probably in any
civilized land-was procured with
such difficulty that it is considered
to be worth $4,000. 1t now adorns

The Size OF Muir Glacier.

The Muir glacier in Alaska was

black and white hairs. The hair is
long and thick during the colder
months of the year. so that the fur
of fox which is killed in the winter
is more valuable than if the animal
had been slain in the hot months
The tail, which is technically termed
the brush" is remarkably bushy
and partakes of the tints which pre-
dominate over the body, except at the
tip, which is white. The height of
this animal is about foot, and its
length about two feet and half, ex-
elusive of the tail.
A favorite pastime in England is
fox hunting. A very powerful scent
is poured forth from the fox from
glands near the root of the tail, that
furnish the odorous secretion.
1t is by this scent that the hounds
are able to follow the footsteps of a
flying fox, and to run it down by their
superior speed and endurance. The
fox, indeed, seems to be aware that
its pursuers are guided in their chase
by this odor, and puts in practice
every eXpedient that its fertile brain
can produce in order to break the con-
tinuity of the scent or to overpower
it by the presence of other odors
which are more powerful, though not
more agreeable.
! Even when tanned it preserves it's
singular cunning. A tame fox that
was kept in stable yard had man
aged to strike up a friendship with
several of the dogs, and would play
with them, but could never induce
the cats to approach him. Cats are
very sensitive in their nostrils. and
could not endure the odor. They
would not even walk upon any spot
where the fox had been stantiing,
and kept as far aloof as possible from
him.
The crafty animal soon perceived
that the cats would not come near
him, and made use of this knowledge
TO cheat them of their breakfast. As
soon as the servant poured out the
eats allowance of milk, the fox would
run to the spot and walk about the
saucer, well knowing that none of the
rightful owners would approach the
defiled locality. Day after day the
cats lost their milk, until the strata
gem was discovered and the milk
placed in spot where it could not be
reached by the fox.-National Rural

Oysters and Macaroni

Cook macaroni in sailed water until

fill with alternate layers of macaroni
and oysters, with bits of butter, salt
and little cream between each layer.

Courier. Mounted ON Wheels.

Although cycles have not been used
for the transport of men at the front,
in South Africa they have been much
employed for dispatch carrying. One
rider has written home saying that
since the end of November he has
covered 6,7s3 miles by his cyclometer
on this duty over bad roads. This gave
him an average of about 40 miles day.
