NEW TROLLEY LINE PROJECT.
Chicago Capitalists to Build Road Con-
Meeting Waukegan and winthrop.

It has been learned here that ]. III.
V1issengen and Alexander Clark,
of Chicago, are behind the project to
build a railroad north from Waukegan
for which right of way is now being
secured on the east side of the North
western road.
Clarke says it is to be an electric line
from Winthrop Harbor to Waukegan
in the interest of the Northwestern
elevated road. Here it will connect
with the Chicago and Milwaukee cleo
trio line and thus reach the North
western elevated. Land will be con-
demned where it cannot be purchased
reasonably. 1t is hoped to have the
road in operation in the spring.

Hedgehogs and HIoles.

Writing to a sporting contemporary
a gentleman offers to receive any num-
ber of hedgepigs "up to q thousand"
as he believes they would do good on
his estates in Devonshire. Some peo-
pie may be disposed to wonder what
service can be rendered to agriculture
by creatures that do occasionally make
a late supper Of chickens and part
ridges. The truth is, the hedgehog has
never received full justice. He Is,
take him all in all, an admirable
beast. Everybody knows that the
hedgehog eats snails and slugs. but
few people, perhaps, have realized that
be is also liberal consumer Of moles.
Now, there are many estates in Devon
shire where the mole employs band
Of men to keep his family down, and
there are places in Surrey, quite near
London, where neither man nor trap
can stop the ravages Of these creatures
on what is Intended to be the lawn.
Where the soil is sandy the mole lives
deep, and he will fling up chain Of
yeritable mountains in his journeys
under ones lawn in the course Of
single night. This conduct may be
borne with in parks and meadows, but
in gardens it becomes intolerable. 1t
may be suggested, therefore, to those
householders whose lawns are ravaged
by moles whom neither trap nor pro-
fessional trappist can control that a
few hedgehogs in the garden might
bring the pestilential moles to some
sense Of the fitness Of things.-London

A Funeral Trolley Car.

Baltimore has a number of fine sub
urban cemeteries, all Of which are
reached by some division Of the street
railway lines, and the company found
by putting in few crossovers they
could take a car from any part Of the
city to any one of the burying grounds.
1t was therefore decided to offer cars
for the transportation Of funeral par
ties, says the Street Railway Review.
The company built a special car we'll
adapted for the purpose. The car is
divided into two compartments. the
smaller of which has running it's full
length another compartment or vault
in which the casket Is carried. A
heavy plate glass door hinged to swing
downward gives access to the vault
from the outside. When casket is to
be placed in the car, the shelf Is drawn
out, the casket lifted upon it. and the
shelf is then pushed back In place. The
larger compartment has twelve cross
seats in the centre aisle, giving a seat
ing capacity of twenty-four; the small
er compartment has four seats. Heavy
black curtains divide this section into
two private compartments for the i'm
mediate family Of the deceased. Flo
raj contributions are piled upon the top
of the vault, and can be seen from the
street. The car Is finished inside and
out with black enamel with nickel
plated fixtures. The car has been
named Dolores" meaning sorrow. and
It is rented at from $50 to S25 for each
interment.

The garment is sheepskin waistcoat
This is waistcoat made Of sheep
skin with the wool on, and worn with
the woody side in. The skin is tanned
to q tan color. The waistcoat is cut
high in front and is provided with
pockets. 1t is worn sometimes in
place of a coat that would otherwise
be used, or perhaps with a lighter
weight coat than the wearer would put
on without it. The overcoat Is, Of
course, worn over all, as usual.
Some sheepskin waistcoats are made
to button together at the front as any
waistcoat would. Others are made to
fasten together in front with straps
and buckles.
There's high degree Of warmth
in a sheepskin waistcoat, but the price
is not very high. They cost about

Electric Fans.

A feature Of interest connected with
electric fans is that they are purely
American, both by right Of invention
and Of US. 1t is somewhat singular
fact that their Use in other countries
and in hot climates has been so limit
ed, but it Is believed that at least the
beginning Of considerable export
trade in this class Of merchandise has
been made, and that from now on In
creasing and satisfactory numbers OF
these instruments will be shipped
abroad from our American ports. A
modern development Of the fan, which
was primarily designed for ventila-
ton and for moving air or the creation
Of small breezes, is the application to
the fan mechanism Of cooling and
heating devices, so that an actual
change in the temperature Of the air
may le made. In this way certain
electric fan installations have been
made lately which serve the triple pur-
pose Of cooling in summer, heating in
winter and yentilating the rooms

Waste Land in America.

The arid region Of this country IS
larger than the entire area OF some OF
the nations of the earth. 1t includes
portions Of Montana, Wyoming, Color
ado, Utah, Nevada, Arizona and New
Mexico, and smaller portions of North
and South Dakota, Nevada, Kansas
and Texas, hundreds of thousands OF
acres in California, two-thirds Of Ore
gon. one-third of Washington and al
most all of Idaho-altogether total Of
over a million square miles, enough, III
fact, to accommodate one-half the peo-
pie of the United States when the land
is made productive.
10 allow all this splendid country
to go to waste would be contrary to
the spirit of a practical nation.
All this arid land needs Is irrigation.
Already a large part Of it has been
converted to fertility by the artificial
supply of water. Gradually and
strongly the experts of the Govern
ment have urged upon Congress a
policy of assistance which will con-
vert many of these acres into fertile
fields. In this way the suggestion has
come that to the river and harbor bill
there shall be added provision for
storage reservoirs in the far West. IT
it should be done, land that is now Of
no practical value would soon be
worth $40 or $50 an acre. and thus It
happens that far Western influences
are openly in favor Of the proposition.
Something like s5,000,00O is the first
suggestion In the way Of the new de-
parture.-Philadelph Saturday Even.

Romantic Grammar.

Years ago an American minister to
one of the European powers was
blessed with a pretty daughter whose
charms wrought much havoc in the
rank and file of the young men who
met her.
She was sweet and gracious to all,
but her heart, as we'll as her wit, be-
longed to her native land. One day her
father found her at her desk knitting
her brows over a letter.

Curious Fish From a Driven Well.


Some time ago q driven well was
sunk at the Howell Creamery. Pine
Island, to the depth Of 25O feet. The
supply of water obtained equalled only
one quarter Of the amount necessary,
and in order to obtain greater sup
ply two charges Of joveite, new ex-
plosive, were discharged by William J.
Brown, an expert in its use. Both
charges were set off simultaneously by
an electric battery, and a column OF
water eight inches in diameter was
thrown to height of 800 feet. Many
curious things came up from the bot
tom Of the well, including three curl
GUS fish. They were about eight inches
long and had neither head nor tall,
both ends being alike. They could
swim as easily backward as forward
and were not provided with eyes or
mouth. There were several small ori-
fees at each end Of these curious fish.
When they came down with a shower
Of stones from the top Of the column
of water they bounded repeatedly
many feet in the air. One was cap
tured by a Polander, who, curious to
see it's interior, struck it with dull
hatchet, but made no impression what
ever upon the fish, although he killed
it. One is still alive in captivity

The CONGRESSMAN Went to Sleep.

One of the most absent-minded men
in the House of Representatives Is Mr..
Burton, of Ohio, chairman Of the com
mittee on rivers and harbors. The
other day Mr.. Burton having charge
Of the appropriation Bill, forgot that
for the time being he was boss OF the
House and that it was his duty to say
when the weary lawmakers should
quit work. When that time came Bur-
ton forgot all about it. The speaker
looked hard at him, but Burton did not
come out of his trance. Finally Cen
eral Henderson's patience gave out.
'sThe gentleman from Ohio" he shout
ed, just as if Mr.. Burton had been
asking for recognition. The Ohioan
jumped up, looked bewildered and f1n-
ally blurted out: "Eh, eh, Mr.. Speak
er," he suffered. II move the House
do now adjourn" "Well, he's awake
finally" muttered Speaker Henderson,
sotto voce, "but some people do need
q lot of sleep."-Chicago Chronicle.

The Laureate Holds On.

I have read carefully most Of the
tributes in the press to the late Queen.
l have also read the ode by Mr.. Alfred
Austin. On the whole, think the
pressmen have done more justice to
the occasion than the poet. There Is
a good deal of poetry in the prose, and
still more prose in the poetry; and OF
the two the former seems the less out
of place. By the way, is the office Of
Poet Laureate one of those OF which
the tenancy has been confirmed by
royal proclamation? Many had hoped,
with me, that the demise Of the crown
might involve the demise of the laur-
el wreath. But the appearance OF the
official elegiac seems to nip this hope
in the bud, and deepens the national
gloom in London Truth.

Il y
nual meeting Of the League
Of American Wheelmen at Philadel-
phia last week. The progressive ele-
ment in the membership was victorious
in the election of officers and an en-
tirely new administrative policy will
now be in order.
In the election Of Senator Horatio S.
Earle, Of Michigan, to the Presidency,
the cause Of good roads was immeas-
ureably benefited. He is unquestiona-
bly, the foremost worker for highway
Improvement in the United States to-
day and with ample ability and the
necessary resources at bis command,
will place the good roads movement
upon more progressive basis than it
has been heretofore.
Mr.. Earle is comparatively new
man in L. A. w. official circles, but in
his two years service as chief consul
of the Michigan Division he has been
so aggressive and so practical that the
results of his work have been felt in
all the divisions and eventually landed
him in the Presidents chair.
First Vice-President George C. Pen
nell, of New York, is one of the veter
ans of the League. During his connec
tion with the organization he has held
many State and National offices, in
cluding his present position Of vice
consul in the New York Division. He
IS numbered among the energetic mem
bers who have been chafing under the
ultra-conservatism which has hereto
fore prevailed, and will make a con-
sistent co-worker with President
Earle. to whom he will be especially
valuable because Of his long service.
Second ce-President Howell, Of
Connecticut, was one Of the ablest
chief consuls in the service of the
League. He was at the head Of the
Connecticut Division during the years
when the L. 4. ". was securing wheel
mems rights and privileges-when it
was making its power be felt in all
sections. For two years he has been
Chairman of the National Membership
Committee and to his efforts is largely
due the respect in which L. A. ".
membership Is now held.
Treasurer Tattersall, one Of the most
competent officials the League has ever
had, and an able fnancier. enters upon
his fourth term with a unanimous re-
election.
Secretary Bassett. who has spent
twenty one years in the service of the
League, will again be in charge Of
headquarters at Boston. Ee Is, per-
haps, the best known wheelman In the
country, and his retention is an assur-
ance that the Office Of Secretary will be
competently administered.
Since the election last week, the new
officers have been busily engaged in
acquainting themselves with the du-
ties of their Offices, and in the prepara-
ton of plans for the years work. They
are making no rash promises, saying
nothing they cannot substantiate When
necessary, but they are positively con-
fdent that this year will witness many
solid and substantial gains in League
work and in membership. Some Of the
plans already outlined are upon lines
which will command the willing sup
port of all friends Of good roads, and
are considered with a view to making
them the first moves in a campaign
which will place the question OF high
way improvement squarely before the
people Of every State as the greatest
economic necessity Of the period.

Brahmin View OF the East and West.

The subject Of social intercourse be-
tween Europeans and Indians has fire.
quently been grand theme with
some writer's and speakers. There are
men who are too ready to throw the
whole blame for the existing state of
things on the Europeans, who are
charged with refusing to accept In
dams on terms of perfect equality,
while, as a matter Of fact, it seems to
US that, except in purely official rela-
tions as between superior and subordi-
nate, it is the Indian that considers
himself to be of a purer caste and in
capable of adjusting his scruples and
his habits to the requirements Of Euro
pean society. The pride of caste is
still very strong in the Indian, and
however submissive and respectful he
may be in the presence Of the Euro
pean official, in his heart Of hearts he
believes himself to be Of q superior or
