DAMAGED BY SEA WATER.
Steel Rails suecumb Rapidly 10 Cor

Mr.. Bricks, one of the engineers in
charge of the railroads owned by the
French government, recently read a
paper in which he said that sea wa
ter, particularly in tropical coun-
tries, has a very destructive influence
on steel rails. A few weeks ago the
same observation was made by Mr..
Delprat, the engineer in charge of
the Dutch railroad in Sumatra.
This gentleman says that the short
railroad at Port Emma, on the coast
of Sumatra, which has been in opera
ton for ten years, and which occu-
pies a position only little above
mean high tide, has been greatly
damaged by sea water, the rails hav-
ing been largely eaten away by rust.
The rails on one of the shorter
branches of this road, which runs
over 4 breakwater. have been dimin-
ished in weight by about two and
half pounds for every three and a
half feet of the length of the rails
He says that every year these rails
are losing about four per cent. Of
the weight of new rails. The width
of the rail surface has been .dimin-
ished about one inch.

vermont's Postal Facilities in isaz.

Eighty years have wrought remark
able changes in the postal facilities OF
Vermont, as shown by old postal
records Of 1922 when there were 1853
postofiices IN the state, as against 800
and 10 sub-stations today, and when
there was annually paid by the citi-
zens OF the state on the postage of let
tiers. papers and pamphlets only about
$50, 600, representing about one-fourth
the amount paid today for salaries in
the 46 presidential offices in Vermont.
A postmaster's compensation in 1892
and long afterYard was fixed on the
basis OF 30 per cent on the first 800
and % per cent on the next 500.
Brattleboro then paid the largest sal
airy OF any office in the state, Asa
Green receiving S629.S9 annually,
while Ephraim Mills, Burlington's
postmaster, received but S333.S4.
William Haswell of Bennington, son
of the old postmaster general, Anthony
Haswell, received S234.3S; George
Cleveland of Middlebury, second in
the list, was paid S40l .05, nearly $500
more than Reuben X. Thrall of Rut-
land received as an annual compensa-
ton for conducting one OF the most
important offices in the state. The
salary Of William NJ. keyes Of Swan
ton was but Sl57 81. and that OF VIII
liam X. Bixby of Yergennes Slls.1l,
while the popular Thomas Leaverett
of Windsor took S316.75, and Alexan-
der Hutchinson OF Woodstock just
half as much.
At that time there were just two
foreign-born postmasters in the lot,
both coming from Scotland, % hail
ing from Massachusetts, and "a from
Connecticut, while the remaining
postmasters were either natives of
this state or New Hampshire. Today
there is one office, Burlington. to
which the handsome salary OF $500
attaches, the next highest being that
of Rutland, $500, while two post
masters are paid - 600 each.

WEEDS
Consumption is a human

Consumption is a human
weed fourishing best in weak
lungs. Like other weeds its
easily destroyed while young
when old, sometimes inn
possible.
Strengthen the lungs as you
would weak land and the
weeds will disappear.
The best lung fertilizer is
SCOTS Emulsion. Salt pork
is good too, but it is very hard
to digest.
The time to treat consump-
ton is when you begin trying
to hide it from yourself.
Others see it, you won't.
Don't wait until you can't
deceive yourself any longer.
Begin with the first thought
to take SCOTS Emulsion. If
it isn't really consumption so
much the better; you will soon
forget it and be better for the
treatment. If it is consump-
ton you can't expect to be
cured at once, but if you will
begin in time and will be
rigidly regular in your treat
ment you will win.
SCOTS Emulsion, fresh air,
rest all you can, eat all you
can, that's the treatment and
that's the best treatment.

Rutland Woman a Formidable An
taaonist.

The employees of the Rutland Street
Railway Co.. who are engaged in lay
ING foundations Tor the company's
proposed steel bridge over the otter
Creek at Center Rutland, ran into a
person OF Mrs. Roger Riley
The original plans for the structure
called for abutments Of solid stone,
and in order TO build these it was
necessary to set up large derricks to
handle the stone. Mrs. Riley has
for some reason feeling of antipathy
for the street railway company, and so
when their workmen in erecting the
derricks stretched the guy ropes
which supported them across Mrs.
Riley's land, she ran out with a cary
ing knife and cut them, and the der
rick fell with a crash.
The workmen then raised the der
rick again and stretched iron cables
across Mrs. Riley's land instead
ropes, but she ran out again with an
axe and after hacking away vigorous
w at the cables for half an hour or
more she succeeded in cutting them.
Seeing that all work in. that direction
was useless the men gave up the job
for the day.
Realizing that there would be little
prospect of success in negotiating with
Mrs. Riley and being aware that their
workmen could be arrested for tres
pass If they continued to cross the
woman's place without her consent,
the officials decided to change their
plans and build the abutments OF the
bridge entirely of concrete. Ii is be-
lieved that this will in the end be just
rs satisfactory, and it will be the
means of avoiding any further trouble
with Mrs. Riley, as no derrick will be
needed to build the foundations OF this

FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE.
Cattle Malady So Prevalent in New
England as to Cause Quarantine.

Secretary Of Agriculture Wilson has
issued a sweeping order directed Il
the managers and agents of railroads
and transportation companies of the
| United States, stOckmen and others
notifying them of the establishment OF
a quarantine of cattle, sheep and
other ruminants and swine in the
New England states and prohibiting
the expectation OF such animals from
the port of Boston until further orders.
The British board OF health has closed
the ports of Great Britain against
cattle shipped from New England.
Recent investigations by the depart
ment OF agriculture disclosed the fact
that what is known as foot and mouth
disease exists TO an alarming extent
in Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massa-
chusetts and Vermont.
Secretary Wilson says that this is
the most serious matter the depart
ment has had 10 handle for some time,
but that all the resources of the de-
partment will be employed in stamp
ing out the disease. He declares that
il II should spread west of the Hudson
river it would be nothing short of a
national calamity.
The disease had been found in only
one place in Vermont mp to Sunday.
The state cattle commission have
quarantined nine herds. consisting of
200 head of cattle. in Chester. They
found the foot and mouth disease in
three different herds and the others
were quarantined on suspicion. Most
OF the injected cattle are those that
came from Massachusetts two weeks
ago. There are but two or three Yer
mont cattle affected and one OF these
has only been exposed for three days.
Two OF the affected herds have been
supplying the town with milk A
herd OF Is COWS. owned by George
Boynton OF Chester, is principally
affected.
The disease breaks out in the mouth
in blisters from about the size Of pea
to that of half dollar. In a day or
two these blisters break, making a
sore. While the disease, in the major
ity OF cases, breaks ont in the mouth
first, il is sometimes found in the feet,
forming blisters in much the same
way. The disease runs from 10 to IA
days, and while il is not necessarily
fatal 10 the animal. in the case of the
COW all Of the milk has to be thrown
away, and the beef is Of no use. 1.-THE
milk is used, ii is more than liable to
result in persons taking the disease,
and with them it often results fatally.
Little children are likely 10 contract
the disease from drinking warm milk
from infected animals. IL is likely TO
affect their stomaehs or intestines, with
fatal results. On the animals young
il has a like effect The disease is
to man and the great
of warm-blooded animals,
largely, however, by direct inocula-
ton.
This outbreak is the first which has
visited this country. but il has long
been a common epidemic among the |
ruminants OF Europe and Asia.
Swine and sheep, together with |
COWS, are particularly liable to catch /
