There are two places in the world

tropical sub-troDical and temperate
zones inside of an hour.
Hawaii is one and Darieeling, in

! In both these places the trick is
done by climbing up the high noun
tains.
In Hawaii the traveller starts with
the warm breath of the Pacific fan

He passes for a space by great clus-
tiers of tropical fruit. and as he

and other northern vegetables are
growing.
In Darjeeling, the change is still
. more wonderful. The entrance to the
stableland, on which the little noun

palms and hung with orchids and
other jungle growth. After while

The Sad Case Of Tommy Dchool.


Little Tommy Dchool
Had dreadful time at school,
Por spelling and pronouncing made him
sad.
when they taught him rough was
ruff,
he insisted that dough was duff;
NE drove his patient teacher nearly
mad.
when he found that tough was tuff,
he replied that bough was buff;
ana ne wept upon his desk when others
roared.
When he said that cough was corf,
AND rough was surely rorf,
iier wrath the patient teacher on him
m poured.
~ put when Tommy was a man,
SBeleve me, we who can,
lie made a dictionary all himself;
And every fearful word
Was spelled as it was heard
ana the volume brought him boards of
honest pelf.

RAILROAD DEVELOPMENT
Record in 1908 Shows Gain Over Last
Year

The annual review of the Railway
Age. of which the advance sheets are
already issued, will furnish some in
teresting and pleasing information of
railway building in the United States
this year
While numerous labor troubles have
interfered with the work of contrac-
tors and frequent fiurries in the money
market have made it difficult to float
bonds, 5723 were laid In 1908. This is
an increase of 175 over the record of
1902.
These figures dock the dryness of or
binary statistics but are in themselves
wonderful commentary on our coun-
try's progress in transportation facili-
ties. With a total lineage now of
nearly 100000 the steel rails are
spreading year by year into vast ex-
panses of new and comparatively I'M
developed territory. And with so much
of the west and south with broad acres
yet untitled and mountains with ore
zones yet untapped this growth in the
network of steel rails, should go on
steadily for many years.
