SIGNALS FAVORED
 BY TROLLEY co.

The Connecticute Company is con- sidering the advisabiIity of installing automatic signals on all lines in the state Action will be brought about as the result of the experimental equipping of the Bridgeport-New Ha- ven line some months ago. These signals have proven exceptionally ef- ficient. No serious accident Of any sort has resulted where new signals are in operation It is planned, in the near future. that all the lines run ming out of Bridgeport will be equip ped with them.
 While the action is ostentatious1y to prevent accidents, the innovation will take the place of the need of double tracking the lines. The cost of double tracking would cost many thousands of dollars. compared with which the cost of the signal systems fades into insignifscance.

QUEER TALES FROM

The Zebra is a beautiful wild ass
of Africa; there are several varieties,
differing only in the slightest respect.
The Quagga, one variety, has become
extinct within the last few years.
The Zebra would be especially
valuable in Africa if it could be
domesticated, as it is immune from
the "Tsetse fly which induces the
fatal sleeping sickness and kills most
other animals; but the Zebra is tanned
with great difficulty, and, so far, with
little. success, and so it is compare
lively useless.
