EXTENSIVE RAILROAD WORK.

The Delaware railroad will in all proha-
bility be q double track lire from WilniIig-
ten 20 Townsend before next winter. Mheh
work has been planned and 1t Is expected
that more will be done this summer thun Tor
several years. The roadbed Tor the second
track Is now being graded between the
Delaware q Chesapeake canal and Mt.
Pleasant and new cuverts, suitable for a
double tack road nre being built over the
streams at NoSeNtown and BHrlow's, and
other work of the same character is TO toll
low. The railroad men have an impression
that 1t is the company's intention to double
track the entire line and Hs much OF that
work will be completed this year as possible.
Tho roadbed will also be improved; that
is, made stronger and more durable BY

BAD BOYS AMBID EXTROUs.
Chicago Professor also Says Right-handed
Children are Brightest.


Professor F." W. Smedley, of the
child study department OF the Chicago
public schools, declares action between
right and left handedness and intellec.
tuality in children mas beenidiscovei cd
From experiments he is convinced
that right handed children are naturally
the brightest. He has found that d
large psrcentage of bad boys are ambi-
dexterous. Pupils whose speech is
affected and who find difficulty in
articulation are most often left handed.
The explanation is this: The right
hand is controlled from the left side OF
the brain and the left hand from the
right side of the brain. Speech is
controlled by the right side of the
brain. The overdevelopment of one
hand or the other is thought in this
way to affect the speech.
Prof. Smedley is guarded in his
statements, saying that it will take a
long time to work out the problem ii il
