Time was. and that not so lone
ago. when the railway magnates OF
the country laughed at the idea OF
electric trolley lines coming in active
competition with sttam railroads. but
their views on this matter have been
changed quite radically as a result of
the great Advancement that has been
made IN the invention and perfection
Of electric motors and economy in the
use Of electric power. A writer in the
Independent calls attention TO the de
velopments in the railroad business
during the past year and especially
the action of steam railway systems
with respect to the trolley roads and
trolley competition.
The New York. New Haven and
Hartford Company. which owns about
$50 miles of the 700 miles Of trolley
in Connecticut alone. was the first to
acquire large municipal trolley syS-
TENS at various points on its main
lines. and Ct began 10 do this before
the year 1908: but X was in the past
year that several other prominent
companies adopted the settled policy
Of not OUly buying existing trolley
systems. but also of constructing new
electric lines parallel TO their own
steam tracks. their purpose being
both 10 forestal the threatened CON-
petition Of other builders and to re
heve their main lines of local pas
senRer traffic which interfered with
free passage of through trains
But this is not all We are told that
the New York Central projects a great
chain Of electric lines from Buffalo to
Albany. and the recent purchase BY

trio system is a step in that direction.

There is a story of an cid New
Hampshire doctor who, on taking out
a wagon that had not been used for
some time, found that a hen was sit

Quite recently, in fact just before he
tried to ram a pier of the territory of
the United States and stove in the
sides of the Kentucky, Americas great
est admiral. Robley D. Evans. was
quoted as follows:
The navy is only begun. We should,
| believe, have a navy large enough
to meet any possible combination of
powers against us. We need a navy
so large that We will never use it in
actual war
Our navy at present is not large
enough TO meet one of the first-class
powers. That is my personal opinion.
Of course it is for the people of this
country to say how large the navy
shall be. 1t is our business to fight
with whatever navy the people give
us.
We will fight whether the navy is
big or little, but my own opinion is
that l. is much too small now.
Perhaps Fighting Bob's" recent ex-
plot. wherein he showed an inability
TO take five battleships to sea without
grounding one and breaking a hole in
another, has caused him TO change his
mind about the ''bigness" of a navy.
Our admiral would do well to learn
how to handle few ships before get
ting "chesty" in a call for a large num-
Der. But Fighting Bob" like most
other warriors wearing the fighting
sobriQuet, has always INDUCED in a
swOllsnup sort of language. which
looks awfully funny when il comes in
contact with his deeds.
We need a navy so large that we
will never use it in actual war;" says
this picturesque sea fighter. and
straightway he shows what he would
do with this big navy by jamming his
ships upon the bosom of the state of
New York. He couldn't have done
better if ne had had all the vessels Of
England under his command. for he
demonstrated beyond peradventure
the purpose of warships which cannot
be used in actual war.

What They Might Have Done.
A good story rs told Of two young
Engiishmen travelling in Europe. They
had never thoroughly mastered any. OF
tne languages commonly spoken on the
continent and were particularly weak
IN tneir French, knowing that language
wen enough by sight, but not having
speaking Acquaintance with 1t.
Finding themselves in a small French
Town one evening, they were DESTROYS
OF obtaining a good cup Of coffee.
knowing that cafe was coffee and that
lait was milk, they endeavored to call
Tor a;Judicious mixture Of the two, but
their articulation was Of so remarkable
an order that they succeeded only in
getting the coffee. Cafe au late they
tried without success. Then du lay-it
was attempted unavailingly. The srg
gestlon that lait might be pronounced
light" was adopted equally in vain.
FINALLY in despair one Of the strug-
cling youths exclaimed:
We'll, it's mighty queer we don't
know enough to get a little drop Of
milk"
DO you want mlIkY" asked the
waitress, opening her mouth for the
first time.

overwhelmed with surprise.
Then why didn't you say so at
hrst?' queried the girl as she hounced
of.
