Germany intends leading the way in
the matter of ideal railroad transport
tation, and through the secretary Of
war has placed at the disposal of an
electric company the military line be-
tween Berlin and Jossen, upon which
1t is proposed to run electric cars at a
rate of 155 miles an hour
There seems to be no doubt in Ger
many that this enormous speed will be
attained, and with full government
support and endorsement the result,
If possible, will be reached. The work
is to be accomplished during the pres
ent year
In this country the German attempt
Is regarded favorably. A. NJ. Young, of
New York, an expert electric railway
constructor, says that the attainment
of speed of 155 miles an hour would
not surprise him, and he adds that he
expects to see in this country electric
trains running at the rate of 100 miles
an hour, and that before long.
Charles w. Price, editor of the Elec-
trical Review, has this to say:
see no reason why $50 miles an
hour should not be covered by an cleo
trio train 1t is entirely feasible, and,
indeed speaking with experts some
time ago on this very subject, they

In the south nature had reared her

changes whose magnitude we. the liv-

AS the rising flood impercsptibly but

constantly altering the contour of the

William G. Gehrung, a farmer OF
Dresden, O., has been fined $50 by his
neighbors for eavesdropping over the
independent party telephone. Some
time ago the farmers organized a tel
ephone company. When the telephones
were put in, the party principle was
employed, and half a dozen phones
were put on the same line. This ar
rangement is such that when one tele-
phone bell rings all ring. For weeks
the subscribers have been trying to
find out who was listening when they
talked. Green and Brown were talk
ing over the line one day when they
heard another subscriber take down his
phone. Then they heard the clear
tones of clock striking. Green and
Brown knew the clock, from it's pecu-
liar tone, and that it belonged to Geh-

causes many disagreeable symptoms.
This condition is known as indigestion.
