The Jungfrau railway in Switzer-
land bristles with interest for dis
corning mind, and now at the height
of the Swiss season hundreds of tour
lists are able to enjoy heroic mountain
scenery amidst the peaks of the Alps
which were impossible before the
Jungfrau was opened just year ago.
The new station at Eismeer, 10000
feet above sea-level, is able to boast
the highest railroad station in Europe
and the highest tunnel station in the
world.
The protector Of this remarkable
mountain tunnel and railway, Herr
Guyer-Zeller, of Zurich, was not an
engineer, but financier. The story
goes that he was strolling down the
mountain path that leads from the
Schilthorn to Murren, and that in
course of it, with the Jungfrau stead
lily in front of him, the inspiration
came to scale it with railway. Sew
eral years elapsed before the bold idea
took concrete shape. All sorts of
objections and scruples were raised.
Herr Zeller had first to satisfy the
Swiss authorities that no evil co0se-
quences would ensue to passengers by
being carried 5000 feet upwards in q

MAD DOG.

Hawley-Is the bite of mad dog
an accident or a contagious disease
This is a question which is worrying
the county authorities here and which
it is up to the town board to deter-
mine.
Recently two Finnish laborers in a
railroad camp We're bitten by a sup
posedly rabid dog. The matter was
brought to the attention Of the town
board and that body requested the
county authorities to send the men
away for treatment. The latter re-
fused, on the ground that the men
were suffering from a contagious dis
ease and that the expense of caring
for them should be borne by the town.
The two bodies have held several meet
ings, but as yet have been unable to
reach an agreement. Meanwhile the
Firms, who speak English, are I'M
aware of the fact that they are in
danger Of hydrophobia
Some fear is expressed that the men
may go mad and attack some of their
fellow workers.

eventually to be six miles long, and
for most of the distance runs very
near one or other of the outer faces OF
the mountains. The tunnel stations
are formed by one or more galleries,
hewn out of rock, and give far view
of mountain and valley, snow and
glacier. The line continues along the
great wall northwest of the Eiger I'M
til well underneath the Mittellegi
glacier. There are two stations in the
magnificent Eiger precipices. The
first is Rothstock, $500 feet. Roth
stock is less than couple of miles
from the rail-hesd, and it is an easy
walk from here tt the bold crag of the
Eiger Rothstock (S,754 feet, which
commands a magnificent panorama OF
the Eiger, the Monch, and the jung
frau, and a distant one of the Jura
chain. From the next station three
openings have been cut through to the
face of the mountain, to obtain
thrilling view of the Grindelwald val
ley far below, and wide-spreading
panorama extending as far as the
Black forest and the Vosges. From
Grindelwald, looking upwards with

Considered from the standpoint OF
the individual, the postal card is such
an insignificant bit of pasteboard, that
few stop to think what Uncle Sans
postal card business in the total
amounts to. Millions of them! Tons
upon tons of them! Train load af-
ter train load of them! And where
do they all come from? From Maine.
While the small oblong piece of
cardboard, which presents the easiest
way of communication through the
mails, is rarely considered as prod
uct, the fact of the matter Is that
carloads upon carloads go to the chief
cities of the country. Cities like Bos-
ton and New York use on an average
more than two carloads of postal cards
a month, and the making of the card
board, the printing and the cutting
are all done in Maine. At Rumford
Falls this one product forms one of
the great industries of the place, and
it will continue to be so for at least
the next four years for the govern
ment contract for the manufacture
of these postal cards has just been
again awarded to the paper company
there.
Under the previous contracts there
were manufactured during the pre-
ceding four years 3,200,000,000 postal
cards and 60,O0O,00O were made dur
ing the month of June last.
There pass through Boston daily in
registered mail cars 100000 postal
cards on their way from Rumford
Falls, Me-, to the sub-agencies scat
tered over the country.
The cards may be said to be entire
ly a Maine product. The logs are
taken directly from the Maine spruce
forests and chemically transformed
into the pulp from which the postal
paper is made at the Oxford mill.

them out the right size. There are
four cutting machines. One cuts
them into long strips, one postal card
in width. The three smaller ma
chimes cut the strips into the postal
cards of regulation size as we buy
them at the post Offices.
Three alert young women feed
these strips into the cutters. When
25 cards are bitten off by the sharp
knives of the machine, the receiving
rack is turned over and the quarter
hundred cards are bound into a packet
with a gummed paper strip.
The girls who gum the packages
togethar have to be very spry. With
a dozen gummed strips held between
their lips, their trained fingers hover
over the straight edged packs of pos

wall of rock, 5000 feet above; bW
when darkness falls, the station al
once catches the eye, for the three
recesses are brilliantly Illuminated
and the beams of powerful electric
searchlight, fixed in one of them,
sweep high across the valley. 1t looks
like lighthouse or outpost of triumph
in region of unearthly mystery and
danger.
Beyond, the line describes a great
curve, and after traversing the lime
stone layer which forms the Eiger, it
passes towards the southeast slope of
che mountain, and then turns towards
the Eiger ridge, Whence it runs in
nearly straight line up to the Jung
frau. Under the Eiger ridge, In the
grand and imposing Viescherwand,
lies the new Eismeer station, at an al
titude of 10,042 feet, and a distance
from Scheidegg of three miles. BY
this time we are well above the line
of perpetual snow and ice, and the
tourist looks out on glacial surround
ings of the most magnificent charac-
ter. We are surrounded, in fact, by
sea of ice, as the name implies. 1t is
sheer drop of $50 feet from the gal
leries to the ice-field, and the descent
can he made by rope-ladder. From
here the view embraces the deeply
creVassed Grindelwald Fiescherfirn Ga
glacier in the making), the Bergli Hut,
the whole chain of the Schreckhorner,
ard the desolate stretches of ice and
snow that lie between the last-named
and the Eiger. Thence, running deep
under the large slope of the ridge, the
line takes the direction of the Monch,
and passes vertically under the sum-
NIT towards the Upper Monchjoch
Continuing in the same direction, it
dips towards the Jungfraujoch, and
reaches the fifth intermediate station,
which stands at an altitude of 11,142
feet,
The construction of the line has SO
far been a slow and laborious under
taking, chiefly owing to the intense
hardness of the limestone and gneiss
through which the great tunnel is be-
ing driven, and the only compensation
is the fact that it requires no lining
of brick or masonry.
The dimensions of the tunnel are
IA feet in height by IL feet in breadth.
The first section of the line, to Eiger.
gletscher, was opened for traffic in the
summer of 1898, a year after COM
mencement; the fourth, from Eiger-
wand to Eismeer, in August, 1905; and
it is now anticipated the whole line
will be finished about 1910. Then, and
not till then, the once inaccessible
summit, that was trodden by human
foot fer the first time in 1911 (aad the
feat was repeated only four times in
about half century,, will be rendered
accessible to every man, woman and
child with As francs to spend. More

After the logs have been chewed up
and chemically treated the pulp flows
into big vat called the "digester."
Here the pulp looks like rich churn-
ing, but is in reality the solution from
which the cards are made-cards that
will later carry written messages all
over the civilized world.
The wood pulp is flowed out on q
screen of such fine mesh that the
result of this more than ordinary
thorough shaking is a firm, smooth
card of the familiar cream yellow,
free from inequalities of texture and
free from all flakes or shadows when
held to the light.
In the big, clean finishing room,
where the floor is Uttered with clut.
ter Of book and news paper, sit. a
score or more neatly attired women,
busy and happy, smoothing the great
sheets of book and postal stock into
piles. The least defect in the surface
is detected at once by their super
sensitive finger tips, and sheet after
ible save to touch.
Great trucks carry the postal paper
to the printing establishment, but be-
fore the presses are set to work each
truckful must be inspected by a gov
eminent inspector This inspector
first applies the bulk gauge, to prove
that the postal card is up to standard
in thickness.
The contract requires that each
sheet be one-eleven-thousandt part of
an inch in thickness. So if the needle
whirls around the face of the indica-
tor and stops again at 165, all is well.
The second requirement is that every
sheet shall endure the test of so
pounds pressure to the square inch.
So into the strength tester goes the
sheet from the truck load, the pres
sure is applied and the indicator
shows the value of the sheet.
The blind mans test" or German
test, is the third to prove that the
surface of the card is properly resined,
sized or finished. 1t is an applica-
ton of vigorous pen and ink. Should
the ink be absorbed, the surface is
inferior in Its glaze. When the mark
ings are plainly apparent to the
touch with blind eyes," the calender
ing is satisfactory.
Each sheet of stock fed into the
printing press is registered automat-
ically, so that an exact tally can be
kept of all cards printed.
The two presses have a united c.
lacity of 100000 cards daily.
AS the cards are printed in big
sheets the next thing to do is to cut

couple of hours. Then there was the
aesthetic objection that the mountain
scenery would be disfigured; but this
was set at rest by the promise to run
the railway in tunnels all the way,
and hide even the stations away inside
the mountains. At last Herr Zeller
secured his concession, on December
21, 1894. 1t stipulated, among other
things, that persons climbing to the
summit on foot should have free &C
cess to all parts of it; and that the
company should spend 100000 francs
on a permanent observatory at the
Jungfrau station, for meteorological,
tellural and other physical researches,
and contribute an extra thousand
francs month towards its expenses.
At last, also, the great financial prob
lem was solved, and the works were
begun in 1897.

SWUNG TO DEATH.

Spencer Brook-Alica Foote, ten
years old, met with peculiar accident
which resulted in her death at tho
home Of her mother in this place
The child had been amusing herselr
in swing near the house. For the
purpose of giving momentum to the
swing rope had been attached to
limb of tree, with a loop at the end
for a hand hold. The child was found
by her mother handing to this rope,
the moose of which was tightly en-
circling her neck. She was dead when
removed.
1t is conjectured that the child. who
was alone in the yard, had been swing
ing and had grasped the rope in order
to give herself good start. Appar-
emily she lost her balance, fell from
the swing and the noosed rope slipped
over her head and about her neck,
causing death by strangulation.
