Among the records made in the
course Of construction OF the Catskil,
aqueduct, with its ITO miles of line
from the Ashokan reservoir to the

The work remaining to be done be-
fore the completion of New York's
new water supply system, is the lin.

Iowa and Electric Development.

Iowa and Electric Development.
Burlington Hawk-Eye: A report
from Washington shows that Iowa is
advancing but slowly in the matter OF
electric railways, but the department
officials call it a substantial growth.
As matter of fact, there has moi
been much encouragement lately for
anyone to invest in electric railroads
or any other enterprises requiring
large sums of money, and the increase
shown by Iowa may be accepted as
fairly good compared with the country
at large.
The figures as presented in the re-
port for Iowa show that the number OF
operating companies increased from.
% in 1902, to "a in 1912, or 8 per cent.
The miles of track increased from
3S7 in 1902 to 807 in 1912, or lis per
cent. The number OF persons EN-.
ployed in 1912 was 4,034 as compared
with 1905 in 1902, an increase Of 152

gross income amounted to sT,452,454

ILLUSIONS.

ILLUSIONS.
They will not go, the while you cling
ing to them
Hold them against your breast;
Out OF world Of gray and sodden
sorrows:
Tear wet, they bring you rest.
They will not go, they linger in the
byways,
Touching your world with sorZ,
Strew1ng your path ahead with glow
ing roses,
Lest 1t seem long.
They will not go, for often in the twi-
light
They will surprise you there,
Smoothing your fevered brow with
small, cool fingers,
Calming your deep despair.
They will not go, they form the misty
vision
For your untutored eyes,
Draping with rosy light your many
failures,
Pointing you to the skies.
They will not go till you shall push
them from you,
Seeking meaning plain;
Then banished, they will slip away
forever,
Leaving you pain.
