NOTES OF THE RAIL

A decrease of 8 per cent. per mile in
total operating revenue of railroads In
June compared with the same month of
last wear Is shown in the summary of
the Bureau of Railway Economics. The
summary also shows that there was a
decrease In operating expenses OF 4l per
cent The net operating revenue per mile
was s23 smaller or per cent, when COM
pared with June. 1918.

roads interested in its joint construction
having accepted the city ordinance gov

Statistics show that only a little more
than per cent. of the passenger cars

this spot" said the German natural |
list, stretching himself on the plated |
Dyak mat. There is no place on the |
earth where a man goes that wo-
man will not fellow if the necessity |
arises, and for that thank God. This |
Samaritan river is as near hell as |
you can go without making hole
in the wall, yet woman came here"
Tell me, said.
Hockdorf, the greatest naturalist |
in the Malay archipelago, who knew |
more of the ways of animals than any
of the seventy collectors employed by |
the big Amsterdam firm, spoke sooth- |
ingly to the little black monkey that !
whined in the shadow
81 will tell you first of the man"
said Hochdorf quietly. 1--WE will call |
him HanslaW. that is as good name
as any, and he came from Baltimore.
He had the bungalow on the other
side of the river, and after he was
here some time we became great |
friends. He was. a fine naturalist, |
none better. He loved his work, and
he would not stop from dawn till
midnight.
'Hanslaw,' would say, you are
a fool to work like that You are just |
what all you Americans are, just a
bundle of nerves, and if you go |
pounding along like that, something |
viii stop all of a sudden in your head,
and you will go up like a rocket on |
the kaiser's birthday.
I've got to make good, Hoch-
dorf,' he would say. I've got to make
good, and make good quick. Work is
nothing if you have the right incen-
tive to work, and, by all that is holy,
l have that incentive.
You are an old bachelor and you
do not understand he would say
Bachelors have done some big
things, would snap back at him.

mud ball.
Then one day the thing that
said came about. He snapped up.
Something in the back of his head
gave way like piece of elastic. He
was working on the skeleton of a
simia wurmbii, the big triangular,
and he laid down his knife. quietly,
very, very quietly, and he went out
and started to play with the little
pebbles on the bank of the riYer. Colt
steh uns bel! 1t was so. 1t chilled
my blood.
What was l to do with man in
that condition in this little he'll?
For eight days he loafed around
the bungalow, doing no work and
talking little, and in those eight days
something happened that was pecu-
liar. Itwas more than peculiar When
that little belt slipped off the fiywheeI
in his head, it made him lose con-
nection with that part of his brain
that had been built up through cen
turtles of civilization. Do you under
stand?
His brain was like a bit of new
clay, and it picked up impressions
like dry sponge sucks up water. He
flung off his clothes, tied a chawat
of bark cloth around his waist and
did things native fashion He broke
up specimen cases to make fishtraps.
"0n- the eighth day Brechmann
came up the river because had sent
him message telling him what had
happened, and we held a consultation
about HanslaW.

coast, said Brechmann. 1t is bad to
let a white man run wild with the
niggers.

up on a tramp steamer and get him
up to Singapore, his consul might
look after him.

In book form, and to an extent that
makes it easy for every person special-

der conditions which ordinarily suggest
the greatest care and economy upon the
mart OF those under whOso direction the
