Germany has a miniature but useful railroad to which no parallel is found in this country. Its peculiarity is that its trains have no drivers It Is used for carrying salt to the salt mines at Stasfurt. The trains consist of tElir- ty trucks each carrying half a ton of salt. The engines are electric, of .a4 Horsepower each. As it approaches a! station of which there are five along the line, the train automatically rings a bell, and the station attendant turns a switch to receive it. He is able to stop 1t at any moment. To start it again he stands on the locomotive, switches the current and then descends again be- fore the engine has gained speed.

At the annual meeting of the Wo- mems Christian Temperance union of Essex county, New Jersey, Mrs. M. S. Holmes of the department of anti-nar- cotics said that cigarette smoking among women and the use of liquor at 5 o'clock teas was quite generally practieed. One factory alone, she said, put up annually 10000 packages of cigarettes, decorated and perfumed and specially designed for use by wo- men at social functions. The depart rnent for which she reported had, she said, during the year induced twenty one girls to sign the pledge against the indulgence in cigarettes.

The famous trial Of Gabrielle Bonn |

crime under the hypnotic influence of
