Makes EIephant Sausape

Sometime age an enterprisIng German pork butcher contracted for the carcass Of an elephant belonging to the Ghent Geological Gardens. The elephant had become unruly and it was necessary to have him killed. The butcher at once proceeded to transform the huge car cass into Frankfort sausages.
 According to report he was able to manufacture no less than $500 pounds, which found a ready sale, owing to their novel origin. The elephants heart, which weighed some forty pounds, was also sold in slices. This story is sugges- tive of the report from Paris that a butcher had used the carcass of a lion for making "Lyons sausages."

New Havan's New Line

While tho officials of the New Haven road deny that they intend to commence work on the proposed line between Port Chester and Danbury, by the way of Ridgefeld, at once, yet the work of sur veying the route is being pushed, and it is probably only question of compar- atively short time when the work of building this important extension will be undertaken says the Commercial Re- cord. The line would open up many miles of the finest territory for summer residences, and New Workers would not be slow to take advantage of the oppor- ford.

Panama Railroad Traffic

Ore curious fact in reference to Pan- anna railroad traffic is that, while $8,- 5)0,000 worth of freight passed over the ''iron road'' from the Atlantic to the Pacific, only about $1,000,000 was for cargoes going to the Atlantic coast, and San Francisco furnished the bulk of that. If these portions continue, it would indicate that a great number of vessels coming from the Pacific through the Caribbean are likely to be laden only with ballast This drawback may be offset by the lumber traffic and other trade from South Americans countries
 The Mexican Tehuantepec railroad. 190 miles i1 length, has become a keen rival of the Panama road, and is moving large amount of Hawaiian sugar, having already outstripped the Panama line in traffic Nearly $i7 ,O00, GOO worth of sugar has passed over this road to Eastern ports. Nearly all the sugar coming from the Hawaiian Islands is now taken this way, instead of around the Horn by steamers as formerly-an indication of the vast amount of traffic which will find its way through Culebra Gut after 1915.
 Another reason for this discrepancy is that a large proportion of South Ameri- can products go to European markets
  and as many of them are not perishable, the longer voyage around Cape Horn or via Suez is the cheaper mode of trans portation and so continues in favor.

Railroad earnings continue to make an excellent showing, and the decrease in the number of idle oars is highly satisfactory. The 10000 remaining unused at the beginning of the month is surplus of less than half that of this time last year.

Resu of Jeering

Because shopmates in Waterbury made fun of his deafness, Alfred Sido recently committed suicide. These would be smarties thought it great sport to deride the man because of his aff1iction, and they doubtless made many remarks concerning the unfortunate, which they would never have dared to give utter ance to in the presence of a husky lndi- vidual with two sound ears. Sido's tor mentors spoke of him mockingly-they thought his deafness was funny. It is hard to believe that such men can be found, yet alas, there are people of this very crass type i'll nearly every com- munity. Haven't you seen them hoot and jeer a cripple who was gong along, often painfully and laboriously, nlindng his own business? Haven't you seen young men twist their arms, twitch the muscles of their faces and distort their forms, in imitation of some passing cripple? Of course you have, and more's s the pity. The person who will poke fun at deformed or unfortunate human is about the lowest and most degraded of wretches. The one who laughs at another's affliction not only shows 8 woful lack of gray matter and good breeding; that person also displays a most deprayed mind.

New York-Chicago by Trolley

New York-Chicago by Trolley
 The diary of traveller from New York to Chicago by interurban trolley" lines, published in the Electric Railway Journal of August 28th, shows that the limitation of electric-car lines to cities and suburban districts is thing of the past, and that such systems are no longer installed to supply purely local needs or to feed railways. The first 115 miles was covered not strictly speaking on a trolley car, although most of it could have been, but by the electrified New York Central Railroad to Hudson, N. Y, as & matter of convenience. Thence to Chicago all but 72 of the l ,143 miles was travelled on trolley lines, in run ming time of 45 hours and 24 minutes at a cost of $19.67. The author describes his journey as most pleasant and com fortable, revealing many attractive parts of the country unseen by the steam-rail- way travellers. and intends to repeat the trip, finding that the running time can be reduced by over ten hours.-Scien- tific American.
