Electric Lines in India,

From the falls of the Convery, one
of the sacred rivers of India, to Kolar
in Mysore, American electrical engi'
neers have recently set up an Ameri-
can transmission plant against an in
vasion of elephants and white ants.
The wooden poles were sunk into sock
cts seven feet high to prevent the ants
from devouring them, and the wires
were strung just beyond reach of the
largest elephant standing on his hind
legs and groping.with his trunk.

STEEL RAILWAY TIES.
Latest scheme Is to Make Use of OLD
Rails That Are No Longer Fit
for Service.

With the growing scarcity OF ttm-
Der and increasing cheapness OF steel.
the possibility of using railway ties OF
the latter material has been talked OF
a good deal for quarter OF a CEN
fury. Little has actually been done
in this country toward the substitu-
ton, except in an experimental way,
but even this is rather instructive. OF
course, the chief drawback to metal
tie is the large first cost, and for q
considerable time to come that will
prove an obstacle to its introduction.
One of the latest trials of a steel tie
was made near Sandusky, o., and pos
sessed a novel feature. An attempt
was made to utilize old steel rails that
were no longer fit for service. These
were cut up into sections 91a feet long,

A Fool Prank

A prank was played at Baldwin
the other night which nearly resulted
in a fatal accident. The M AIhpas,
local girls fraternity, gave party
at the home of F. X. Jardon, four
miles northwest of town. The party
went out in three rigs, and when
they started home the right back
wheel of each vehicle came off; some
one had removed the taps. The oc-
cupants of all the rigs were Jared
and Miss Marie Moorehead was badly
injured. Her head struck some iron
part of the surrey and she was IN
conscious for several hours. It was
feared that she was fatally hurt.
Miss Nora Gasaway and Miss Irene
Sleeper were also injured. The
prank player has not been found.

were very slow to bid to supply books

fixed by the law, but they were all
on hand to bid this time, even though
the prices were the same as five years
ago. The following shows the books
adopted, the prices to the local
agents and the concerns which cap
tured the contracts:

This Rut Wa. Expensive.

According to a press dispatch, a
Michigan farmer recently brought suit
against the township of Lincoln for
$4,000 damages for injuries received
because of defective road. The
plaintiff was thrown violently to the
ground, breaking leg and injuring
him otherwise, because the wheel Of
his wagon fell into rut of defective
road. Negligence on the part of the
township to keep the roads in good or
der was proven, and the jury in the
case gave a verdict for $4,000 in favor
of the plaintiff. The authorities of
that town should take the advice of
the 'good roads senator" of that
state, n. S. Earle, and keep its high
ways in a better state of repair. It
would be wiser to invest few thou
sand dollars in roadmaking machinery
than to pay the costs for a lawsuit and
the damages which result from acct
dents.-Municipal Journal and Engi-

STILL HARD AT WORK.
Good Road. Association Consider.
Spring a Splendid Time for
MissiOnary Work.

The Good Roads association is still
active in its work of improving the
highways of the country. Winter and
spring is the time to make converts
to the good cause, because then the
roads are bad. This is big country,
and much of it is comparatively new.
The expense of proper road building
is great, but it will come gradually, as
it has in the older countries of Europe.
The aim in making road is to estab-
lish the easiest, shortest and most
economical line of travel, and that it
is therefore desirable that roads
should be firm, smooth, comparatively
level and fit for use at all seasons of
the year. They should be properly
located SO that their grades shall be
such that loaded vehicles may be
drawn over them without great loss
of energy; properly constructed, the
roadbed graded, shaped and rolled,
and surfaced with the best available
material suited to their needs. The ex-
tension of rural mail delivery will en-
courage better road system.-Chica-

ANOTHER MAN ALTOGETHER.

Valley, Mo-, Feb. 24th.-There is a
man in this town who has undergone
most remarkable physical change
in the last few months.
His name is Perry Nelso4:and those
who knew him but short time ago
are amazed at his present condition.
He had not been feeling we'll for
some time and suspecting that the
trouble came from his kidneys, which
he knew were not any too strong, he
determined to try kidney medicine.
Dodd's Kidney Pills were highly
recommended and Mr.. Nelson began
treatment of them. He was re-
warded by a complete restoration to
vigorous good health. He says:
II used six boxes of Dodd's Kid
ney Pills, and they have helped me a
great deal. I feel like another man
and can recommend Dodd's Kidney
Pills very highly"
