Truly this is a great and growing country, if judged only from the tre- mendous increase each month in the number of big corporations. Vast, in- deed, is the wealth invested in indus trial organizations alone. Look at the increase of corporations in the month of January just closed. January has been the leading month for the incor- poration Of large industrial enterprises of the seven just passed. The aggre- gate capitalization of the incorpora- tions formed that month under the laws of New York. New Jersey, Maine and Massachusetts, with a capital of $1,000,- 900 and upward, as reported to the New York Commercial, is $176,sOoOoo, an in- crease of $129, ,9669OO, as compared with December, and $1l9,5oOO 900 in excess of the amount for November.
 Maine is in the lead for January, with seventeen companies, showing a con- bined capitalization of s126,5O0,O00 an Increase of $10S, ,3O0,0 as compared with December New Jersey comes second, with nine companies, representing to- tai capitalization of $51 ,60OO00, an in crease of $3S,25O,0O0 over December, New York Is third, with a total capi- talization of but $5,6OO,0O0, the smallest amount for any month for the last four years. New York, however, ranks first in the amount and number of small corporations, whose capital is over $10OOO0, but less than S1,0OO,O00. The small corporations in January show an aggregate capitalization or more than $40, ,000, GOO in New York alone.
 There were also many notable in- |creases in capital stock of existing large corporations during the month, and there were many plans formed for large increases in capital stock that will not materialize until this month is about done Swift & Co.,. of Chicago increas- ed the capital stock from $s5,0oo,Ooo to $50,0O0OOO; the Northwestern Yeast company, of Chicago, increased the cap ital from $2,OO0ooO to s5,OO0,OOO, and the American Graphophone company in creased its capital from s5,OOOOOO to s10,OO00OO, The United Railways h. vestment company, of San Francisco, will probably increase the capital stock of the company from s1OOOo, 900 to s25,- 00o0OO,
 And so on. And no doubt there are
 millions in it." sooner or later for somebody.

A WALK THROUGH THE WINTER
 WOODS,


 As continued my snow-shoe tramp along the mountain side, I came to a clearing, and beyond 1t there was a line of dark spruces with few hard wood trees to the left. Across this dark belt barred owl winged It's way, and presently alighted on one of the hard-woods. a large rock maple. So in- tent was I on watching the bird, that did not look where I was going, and the toe. of my snoW-shoe caught in something, and 1 measured my length on the snow That accident in itself would not be worth recording but for the fact that as fell, rufIled grouse burst from the snow, close to my pros- trate body, sprlnkling me with a show CT of snow from his whirring wings. Then, as l watched his brown form whizzing through the trees, 1 realized what had happened. The bird, as grouse frequently do at thls season had plunged into the snow the night before, leaving a hole which had been the cause of my sudden descent. He had evidently been sleeping late, wher the fall of a heavy body, almost upon the roof of his chamber, caused him tC rise with great suddenness, scattering the snow in shower upon his unwit ting disturber Looking down at tn, hole from which he had come I saw the imprints of his strong wings, on, on either side, left there at the momen of his departure.
 A curious habit this, and yet yer! simple way for the bird to protect it. self from severe cold and storm. Hov

was the habit acquired in the first place, wonder? Was it the result of accident? If so, how many genera tions did it take before the habit be- came instinctive as it doubtless is to- day? Do grouse ever make the mistake of plunging down when the crust of the snow is hard and impenetrable? If so, they must be badly jolted, and never heard of a grouse having been injured in this way,
 When I arose the owl had gone, and T walked over to the tree on which he had alighted, to see if I could discov- CT him. He was not in sight, but on the snow at the foot of the maple lay dark spindle-shaped object. about two inches long, which proved to be an owl pellet, With two dead twigs from a nearby tree, I dissected this curious mass, but found nothing unusual; it was composed almost entirely of thte fur and bones of meadow mice.
 Fox tracks are numerous, and sharply defined on the firm snow Even the marks of the toe-nails were plain to see in many cases. These tracks differed considerably from the tracks of most dogs, but the differences were subtle and more easy to see than to describe. Perhaps they averaged little longer and narrower; perhaps they were usually arranged more near ly in straight line At any rate, as a guide am acquainted with would put 1t, they didn't look just right for dog tracks.
 Suddenly, I saw something which in- terested me moro than the tracks 1t was a reddish patch on the snow, which -

George Westinghouse, jr,, is grad uate of Yale and the only son of George Westinghouse. The famous in- ventor and millionaire has put his son to work as an apprentice in his own shops in Pittsburg. His father pays no more attention to him in his work than he does to the other hun- dreds of apprentices, nor does the young man secure any privileges not given other employees. He receives eighteen cents an hour, working nine to ten hours a day. This wise method ought to give the young man good practical knowledge of the business, and equip him for it's future direction.

1T WATERBURY HOSPITAL
V.ain of Saturday Evening Stibbing
 AHrsy Identified Assailant

Vincensio Magtapelo, an Italian in the employ of the O'Brien Construc- tion company. is at the Waterbury hospital suffering from couple of stab wounds as q result of fight be- tween several Italian laborers which occurred Saturday evening about ' o'clock about mile above the ere matory at Waterville. The men were quartered in a shack at the point mentioned and Saturday evening as there had been plenty of booze fiows ing all day as the men did not work, they were in just the mood for quarrel.
 It finally started and Magiapelo was the fellow who received the knife. He was taken to the Water bury hospital on the 10 o'clock train, but his wounds are not serious. .
 Although the affair took place outside the jurisdiction of the local police, as the case was one for the Plymouth constable, the Waterbury detectives with the aid of Officer Co., l6Sdu WOI hCu oA IL hAS They did not make any arrests, but yesterday morning Colesanto met with success.
 Thinking that the assailants of Magiapelo would be likely to board la train early in the morning if they were in the city he hung around the Highland station and soon had his 'peepers on three fellows who an- swered the description given by Ma giapelo.
 Colesanto asked them few ques- tions, and would not allow them to take the train, but placed them un- der arrest and later gave them a ride in the patrol wagon to the po- lice station. The three men in the afternoon were driven to the Water bury hospital and taken to the bed side of MagiaDelO.
 Althoueh Magiapelo was unable tc identify the three prisoners he was sure of Attillio Danuzo and claimed that he was the one who did the stahbing.
 The Plymouth authorities were no- tified.

BOY HURT AT FOOTBALL. Son of Fireman Kennedy May Be
 Permanently Injured.


 One of the most pitiable cases re- sulting from injuries received play ing football during the season is that of William Kennedy, the 10-years- old son of John Kennedy. fireman at the Brooklyn engine house. As a re- suit of an accident received about two weeks ago, which at first was thought to be more of bruise than anything else, the boy has now a brace on one leg and on the other he is compelled to wear a specially made shoe, the sole and heel being several inches in thickness.
 The boy Is fond of playing foot ball and after school was accustomed to have game in the street near his home at the corner of North Leonard and Green streets. One day he was playing and while in a pile his leg was twisted. The injury, which was painful. did not look se- rious. A few days later the boy com plained that the leg was growing more painful and his parents be- came alarmed.
 It seems that the chords of the leg were twisted in such a manner that the whole leg was affected and the effect of the accident is now being felt in the other leg. It is said that unless care is taken 1t might be necessary to amputate one of the boys legs. The case seems to be a peculiar one and the boy will be for tunate if he is not crippled for life.
