seven teeth.
The teeth came out through drinking
polluted water in Siberia. which caused
his mouth to become sore.

A TRAcKLEss RAILWAY.
New Departure in Railroading in Ger
many Gives Every Promise
of Success.

United States Consul LANCER, at Sol
ingen, Germany. reports to the depart
ment of commerce and labor that a
traekless railway Is being erected by
the community Of Monnheim, which
will be the first Of its kind in Prussia.
1t will run from Monnheim to Langen-
field, about 215 miles long. with two
short branches intended for freighting
purposes.
For entering farm yards lying close
to the road a connector and flexible
cable 50 to 20 feet in length will be used
to transmit the current to the motor
car. When these trains pass each 9TH
er one will remain standing under the
wires and disconnect it's current until
the other has passed.
Farmers wagons can be attached TO
the end Of the train. provided the ordi-
nary tongues are replaced by shorter
coupling tongues.
Consul General Cole, at Dresden, Ger
many, reports that experiments also
have been made near Dresden with rail-
less electric roads, but it seems that the
lines did not prove a marked success
from a financial point Of view.

Woman's greatest dream of beauty and

alert as she foresees the joy, ambition,
success and the lifelong satisfaction com
fng nearer, day by day, in the dear and

the uncertainty whether she shall see a
sweet girl or a brave boy face beside her
on the pillow adds zest to her expectancy.

BABY CAUSES A LAW SUIT.
Landlord Objects to Little Newcom-
er's Residence in Flat and
Trouble Follows.

Does the arrival of baby in fat for
which the lease says two people" justify
the owner in ejecting the tenants?
Can the baby be blamed, and can the
owner of the fiat go to extremes to re-
move baby and parents?
Can it be settled by papa moving out?
Can she, or he, as the case may be,
seize furniture belonging to the baby
parents!
Mrs. Mary Potter Freeman, of Balti-
more, sued Mr.. Joseph Newman, Jr., her
former tenant, on the appeal from mag
istrates decision in the city court, for
eight dollars, hence the queries. Mrs.
Freeman declares the baby to be the be-
ginning OF the trouble, in which mounted
police, a plain clothes policeman, and a
constable or two figured, and to be the
cause of some stormy scenes on the day
Of its advent into the household. She
succeeded in obtaining a reversal Of the
judgment by Judge Baer, but just What
the baby has to do and how far its re-
sponsibility carries is still unsettled BY
any learned law decision.

SILKWORM CULTURE.
EXPERIMENTS ABOUT 10 BE
MADE IN CALIFORNIA
University Professors VIII Make a
Thorough Test to Determine
IF It Can Be Made
Profitable.

It has long been eontended that the
silkworm can be successfully reared on
the Pacaic coast and particularly in the
southern part Of California, where ali
climatic conditions seem adapted to it,
For some time past Prof. z. w. Wood
worth, of the department of entomology
of the University Of California, has in
terested himself In the culture. He is
now endeayoring to determine whether
or not silkworms can be raised In Cali
,fOrnia on such a scale as to make the
venture a commercial success. Some
years ago money was appropriated by
the state legislature for experiments
along these lines, but no favorable re-
suits were reached. The apparatus used
in the experimenting was turned over
to the university. The problem is now
being attacked by Prof. Woodwork in
thorough manner.
Through the good Offices OF N. Yoko-
wawa, a japanese Of San Francisco who
has lately returned from the orient, Prof.
Woodwork has secured 100000 TO
5000, 900 eggs Of the silkworm, which are
now being Matched at Berkeley. Three
varieties Of worms will be used in the
experiments. They are the japanese.
the Russian and the Persian varities.
The experiments now being conducted
will be watched with interest, as the plan
Of raising silkworms In this country has
been tried in many places besides Cali
fornia- The only exception to the lst
of failures is recorded in the history of
some experiments carried on in Penn
sylvania. H. ]. Quayle, who is assisting
Prof. Woodwork in his work, says Of the
experiments:
I'VE have decided to go into the work
in a thorough manner and before We are
through we will know whether or not 1t
is practicable to raise the silk worm for
commercial purposes in this state. We
now have samples OF the raw silk spun
by different varieties OF the worms in
their native homes as well as samples Of
the finished silk cloths made from the
raw silk. We will compare the quality
Of the silk produced by the worms We are
now raising with what we have on hand.
We will also put some Of the raw silk
that we get from our coeoons through
the factories In order to see what can be
got out Of the worms. We ars feeding
the silk producers that have already be-
gun to hatch on mulberry leaves, as this
is the only thing that the worms will eat.
Prof. Woodwork has some ideas Of his
own in regard to silk culture. which he
will embody In his present experiments

Refused to Eat Eight Courses.

A story is told of distinguished
diplomat from Japan who was the
guest of honor at a dinner in Wash
ington. After the first two courses of
oysters and soup, as the walters were
bringing in the fish, he exclaimed:
what! Can anyone possibly want
more to eat?" During the remaining
six courses he opened his mouth for
the exclusive purpose of conversation.
When his abstemiousness was com
mented upon, he said: II am satisfied.
1 feel bright and wide awake. If
were to eat as much as you do,
should fall asleep, and then l could not
make my speech. Most of the men
around this table are fat, because they
eat too much. 1t is misfortune to be
SO fat 1 am stronger and healthier

Guatemala,s sfe Cofree Crop,

When the volcanic eruptions in Guat-
emala last year covered the coffee fin
cas- it was believed that the industry
was ruined and that Guatemala had
received blow from which recovery
would be slow. Many planters aban-
doned their ash covered plantations
and believed themselves ruined. But
the activity of the volcanoes was fol-
lowed by heavy and long continued
rains, which washed away great deal
of the ashes and Incorporated more of
them with the soil. The rain also
seemed to bleach the ashes and extract
from it a liquid fertilizer which proved
of great benefit to the coffee trees. The
result is crop nearly as large again
as last years. Hereafter when the
volcanoes of Guatemala erupt and
spout ashes the only unfortunate coffee
planters will be those whose fincas are
outside of the showers-London Globe.

Railway Supremacy.

Texas is neck and neck with Illinois
in the race for the largest railroad
mileage. Illinois has been in the lead
for some time, but it looks as if she
would not long hold the supremacy.
In the last authentic report Illinois is
credited with 11.5O3, Texas 11,4S9.
Pennsylvania 1O,S2O. Iowa 9,SO6 and
New York S,1S2 miles. By the rate of
increase Texas. which has only four
teen miles less than Illinois, will go
to the head of the list. AS indicating
her possibilities for future develop
ment it may be noted that if she had as
many miles of road as Illinois in the
ratio of area she would have mileage
of 1923. but If no more in proportion
to population the number would be
4.21O less.-Louisville Courier-Journal.

Davis First Ran Night Trains.

Henry Gassaway Davis found his
first advancement when he secured the
coveted position of brakeman on a
freight train on the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad. 1t was not long before
he was advanced to the more respon-
sible position of freight conductor, re-
sponsible in these days, but far more
so, relatively, in those. At "a he was
again promoted, this time to the posi-
ton of superintendent in charge of the
running of all the trains. He intro
duced an innovation which marked a
decided advance step in railroading
Up to that time, it had not been con-
sidered practicable to run trains at
night; when nightfall came, freight
trains and passenger trains alike were
"tied up," their journeys to be resumed
only when daylight came. Davis held
there was no good reason why they
should not be run by night as we'll as
by day, and proved it. His. first night
train from Cumberland to Baltimore
marked an important epoch in railroad
ing.-Leslie's Monthly Magazine.
