Kamaroff, Russian nobleman. These

Mr.. French, when seen after his ar

understand all about the highways
and byways of Illinois, but found the
roads a perfect labyrinth. The per-
sons whom l met on the journey, and
from whom humbly inquired the best
route to Chicago SO often misdirected
me that lost much time. Owing to
the section divisions, the roads are
short and I found that had to turn
a corner every ten minutes. AS the
speed Of the automobile had to be de-
creased in order to make each turn,
l could not cover as great a distance as
II l had been on straight road.

in much better time if l were to re-
peat it, as know the route now.
Leaving St. Louis at o'clock in
the morning, l spent the night at Di-

To Lengthen the Rails

The new tendency in railroading IL
to lengthen the rail. The present
standard length is thirty feet, and a
sixty-foot rail has been tried in its
stead. This length showed good re-
suits, but did not afford space enough
for expansion in hot weather. The
longer the rail- the fewer joints in the
track and the fewer jolts. But tho
matter of expansion in hot weather is
troublesome. and it is believed that
the standard length will be As feet.

Blow at Albany, Australia.

The change of the port to call of
mail steamers from Albany, Australia,
to Fremantle practically ruins Albany
and changes what mas been the mail
port of the colony to a little side port
for boats of light tonnage, as 1t also
much reduces the traffic of the great
Southern railway, owned and operated

The police of Cincinnati state that
there are two lovers in that city who
have been engaged to be married for

ment Of the fateful plunge, however,
is not due to the prospective bride

less is it due to the bride proving un-
