eolsonoue Properties Of roads.

The poisonous properties Of the toad
have long been regarded as fabulous;
but recent investigation has proved
that the skin of a species of toad Sc
cretes a poison similar in action to
digitalis. The venom Of the toad has
had the reputation of possessing pois-
onous properties from very early
period and was probably one of the
earliest forms of animal poison known
The old tradition that King John
was poisoned by a friar who dropped
q toad into his wine was regarded as
a ridiculous fable until some years ago,
when it was discovered that the skin
of the toad secretes a body the active
principle Of which, sphrynin." is a
poison of considerable power.

Keeps Tab on Locomotives.

A dispatch from New York says:
 James. J. Hill has introduced new economy on the Great Northern Pacific and Burlington Railroad systems. While 1t has caused the bookkeepers. trainmeH and engineer much tribulation, 1t has been found to pay well.
 Each engine on the system has tab kept on its daily employment. In book is kept the cost of that particular piece of machinery and against it Is charged eY- cry cent of expense for oil, for fuel, for repairs for operation. and on tho credit side is given what it earns each day, based on the tonnage hauled.
 "If engine No. 200 is found to be cost ing more for oil. fuel or repairs than en- zine No. 300, an investigation is at once instituted. The engineer Is asked to ex- plain. The result is that No. POO reforns. The same. plan Is to be extended to every car on the system, anc the conductors and enginemen wno can make tho best showing are down to get bonuses at the end of the year.
 ''1he sole idea is to secure better re- turns. and while the idea costs many thousands of dollars in execution. It has been found greatly to increase earning power while iessening expenses"

 " The possible contest hinges around the votes of the Camden troop. Just what 1t will be based upon 1t not known, nor will it develop until the votes are canvassed and examined.
 The returns from the elections have been received in the office of the Adju- opened yesterday but in tn absence of Adjutant General Brandon this formal ity was postponed until tomorrow.
 Upon the same day on which votes were cast by the officers of the cavalry Squad ron voted for a Major, elections were held for Major of the First Battalion of Artillery and for Colonel and Lieutenant Colonel of the 1st Infantry of the Ala bama National Guard. But little interest was taken in these elections. There were no contests and the results of the elec- tions were never in doubt. Major S.. i. Westcott has beyond doubt been elected Major of the Artillery Battalion and Col R, B. du Mont of Mobile, and Lieut. Col. c. J. Hubbard Of Troy have been re- elected to their present places in the 1st Infantry. The returns from these elec- tlens will also be opened tomorrow.
 The contest in the Cavalry Squadron will be settled by the vote of the Cam den troop. Captain Forces received the unanimous vote of The Birmingham troop and all votes of the Montgomery troop except one. Captain Atkins received the unanimous vote of the Selma troop and one vote from the Montgomery troop. The naming of the Major was with the Cam den cavalrymcn and it Is their vote which may precipitate an additional contest.
 Captain Forbes is Adjutant OH the staff of Major James T. Beck, the present commander of the cavalry and Captain Atkins is commander of the Selma cav airy, troop "C'' of the Squadron.
