The Fl Paso Herald is ad-

The Fl Paso Herald is ad- vocating good roads for Ari- zona and New Mexico. It says that bad roads rob min. CTS, as they rob farmers. It has been figured out that it costs the average farmer to haul his produce over the average road, just fifty times as much for the same ton mage and distance as it costs a railroad. An average team can haul three times as much over an improved road as over a poor road. If the miners and farmers of Arizona and New Mexico could save half of their hauling expenses in getting their produce to the railroad, would it not make quite an item in the profit &C., count?

The great wealth of Ne vada's mines is assuming some of the attributes of a hollow mockery in connection with the famine of fuel. which com modity it is almost impos- sible to'buy at any price. Never in the history of the entire country has there been such a shortage of rolling stock with which to handle the merchandise offered for transportation, and the hard ship which this state ofafairs is causing is in some cases genuine and keen.
 In Nevada we have the un- usual spectacle Of towns springing up in a night, founded on :he discovery oi gold in such inaccessible ter ritory that it is impossible to supply them with the ne- cessities of life. A few mines are taking out enough rich ore to pay the coal bills of the whole State, yet they face the unpleasant alterna- tive of closing down for lack of fuel lsor power. The pros. pect for the winter is not good, but no doubt the situation will be greatly relieved before long.

One of the Smithsonian scientists calis attention to the fact that the duration of the lives of the lower animals diff 6rs from that of mems lives in being far more uniform. While human beings die at all ages between infancy aud senility, among the lower an- imals, on the contrary, all in dividuals of the same species live to very nearly the same age unless killed by violence. Some examples of remarkable longevity among animals may be cited. For instance, there there is the story of the ele- phant Ajax, which Alexander captured at his victory over forus. The conqueror af- fixed an inscription to the animal and set it at liberty. Three hundred and fifty years later Ajax is said to have been found still living. But little dependence can be placed on most stories of life among an imals.
