E TRACK ROADS.
Utility of the System Has Been DEM
O~nsfrared by EXPERIMENT.
Here and Abroad.

The illustration shows a section Of a
steel track road without wooden super
structure of any kind. The steel track
here indicated consists of a built sec
ton as shown. in the detail drawing

riveted on either side to angle irons.
This gives a fiat surface eight inches wide
for the wheels of the vehicle. the rails
being laid at a convenient distance
apart TO accommodate vehicles of a
standard gauge. 1t Will be seen that
there is a projecting fange which tends
to keep the wheels from leaving the
track. but being not more than half an
inch high this iange does not prevent
turning out easily when necessary.
The rails are well filled underneath
with cement to afford a continuous
bearing. while the projecting flanges
are securely imbedded in the concrete

Bees Carry Heavy Weight.

Observations made to test this ques-
ton showed that bees ear carry with
ease twice their weight in honey. Sew
eral bees were caught as they returned
to their hives laden with honey, and,
after inclosing them in a little box.
they were carefully weighed. When the
bees unloaded their honey, they were
again caught, placed in the same box
and weighed a second time. This ex-
pertinent showed that the bees when
laden weighed three times as much as
when empty. 1t was therefore proved
that a bee can carry twice its own
weight in honey, and can fly very long
distances with that weight.-RuraI

Green Food for DALE Cow.

If you are going to feed green food
to your cows. do not wait until the hot
sun has wilted it, but cut it early in the
morning and keep it in the shade until
fed. Compare the condition of corn, OF
even cow peas, at sunrise and at two
o'clock in the afternoon, and you will
see the force of this advice. At sun
rise the earth is comparatively cool, the
leaves of the plants stand up stiff, are
fuIloPjuice and tipped with dew; at two
O'Clock the ground is hot and hard, the
plant leaves hang limp and hfeless, are
hot and OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Bulletin

A nRnaKimH Town.

The decadence of the little rural towns
of Connecticut is well illustrated by
the ease of Warren, one of the smallest
of the rural places in Litchfield county.
A resident, writing to one of the news
papers in that section, notes hat the
village storekeeper is to remove to Corn
wall Bridge, a railroad station in the
adjoining town of Cornwall, and the
writer adds: I'VE don't know what
Warren is coming to. No doctor, no
parson, no store, and, by and by, no
school. There are but few of us left
now.''-Boston Herald.
