plies From Illinois River.
Burlington, Sept. 13.-The mussel
shell market is tightening up with a
prospect that before the beginning of
next season the button factories all
along the Mississippi river will be pay
ing fancy prices for their supply of
shells.
The button manufacturers have gone
to the Illinois river for shells, and hun
dreds of tons are being brought around
on barges to the plants along the Mis-
sissippi. A leader in the industry, who
has just returned from the Illinois
river, states that thousands of tons of
shells remain untouched on the bed Of
that stream.

TRAINS STOPPED BY INSECTS.
catsrpiIIars Retard Tranc on Lines o.
the Canadian Pacific Railroad
In Maine.

The mechanical department Of tho
Canadian Pacific railways Atlantic
division, from Montreal to st. John.
N. B., part of which crosses Maine on
the tracks Of the Maine Central, haa
been called upon to continue an ar
rangementN for Kidding the line Of a
pest which is seldom or never encoun.
tered by this road anywhere else than
on particular section Of the local
division. according to dispatch from
Mattawamkeag, Me.
Every year about this time the line
Is blockaded by an army Of cateFpil-
lars. whose numbers run into the mil
lions and who make it very difficult
for trains to get over the rails be-.
tween Routh and Tracy stations.
A few nights ago the line of cater.
pillars was seven miles in length hs3
tween these two stations. Two Gs
gines had to be put ahead ofiths Nj
treal train, and even with the
uonal power the distance was ca ~
very slowly. ~ nv
more effective method 4
sprinkling with Bordeaux mixture MS
been devised by the railroad, and one /
which Is much cheaper Tor tho com-
pahy.
Steam is the power used, and Il il
applied from an apparatus attached to
locomotive No. 1900. the largest on
the division. Two pipes connected
with the engines exhause run close
to the rails ahead of the foremost
wheels. and the steam issuing from
them is dose which the cateypNlars
cannot stand: A clean rail 10 gained
by this method, and little. trouble ia
now experienced.
This same pest has been bothering
the railway men for 30 years past. It
always occurs in the same locality.
and hitherto the only course has been
to drive the trains over the Shiny
rails at great loss Of time or with
an absolute holdup.
One feature Of the nuisance. which
appeals particularly to- the train
crews, is the malodorous nature Of the
little beasts when the train crunches
through them and administers par
tial cooking.
