Santa Fe to Cut Ice.

Within q week it is planned that the
Santa F'e will begin its annual harvest
of the natural ice crop. Word has
been received in Topeka that already
the ice in the Hot Springs Canon at Las
Vegas, N. M. has frozen six inches
thick and with four more inches it will
be ready to store. At La Junta, Colo,
also if the cold weather continues, which
is practically certain, the ice cutting
will begin by the latter part of this
the first part of next week. At Hot
Springs the railroad people are count
ing on getting $4,000 tons of as fine
quality as can be had, and at La Junta
the estimate is 10000 tons. Last year
the company ran short of it's supply of
stuff for refrigerating cars, and for
several months it was shipped in from
Mississippi river points where q fine
grade had been secured. This season,
however, an air of confidence pervades
the talk of the men who handle ice for
the Santa F'e, they evidently believing
that with the present start which win
ter has made, there will be no difficulty
in getting as much as will be needed.

The Kennebec (Me) Journal says ''The plan to stock the woods of Maine with elk from Wyoming or some of the Western States which was outlined in the papers a short time since, has caused no little amount of interest among Maine guides and hunters and among sports men generally.

Until that time nothing can be done. There is little doubt as to the feasibility of the plan. and many of the most experienced guides in the State have come out in favor of if "

It seems that re- gently flight of locusts passed over Cal cutta. Numbers fell by the wayside and were eagerly eaten by voracious crows and kites. Others. again, were gathered in baskets by the little native boys and taken home for currying purposes. The lower classes in India enjoy this delicacy perhaps because it is cheap. It is stated by those who know that locusts curry HnrFv
