RACE STILL CLOSE
IN HOCKEY LEAGUE

The first three teams in the Amateur
Hockey League race are fairly well
punched. with the other two far down
in the percentage column. The Boston
A. A. continues to hold its lead, with
the st. Nicks in second place. While
the Boston team did not play last week
the Santa Claus seven won another
game, scoring easily over the Irish
American A. {.
This defeat dropped the Winged Fist
team further back in the race. The
Irish combination is not far ahead OF
the Hockey Club, which has yet 10 win
n game. The Crescents are well up in
the running and hope TO get in tie
for second place Wednesday night by
beating the St. Nicks. The latter team,
however. is favorite for the game at
the 81. Nicholas Rink.

One curious result of foreign inva' sion is recorded in the letters of Prince Metternich to Mime. de Lleven. From Judenburg, Il small town in Styrla, the prince wrote: The burgOmaster here has been expatiating to me on the large amount of damage done by mice to farms in the surrounding district. On inquiring how long they had been afflicted in this way was told, Since the French were here Do you mean to tell me the French brought mice with thcmT l asked.

fore made. When the entire 44O miles is electrified it is expected that sixty locomotives can handle the normal traffic, instead of the elghty-two that are now required.
 That will be the first time that el ectric locomotives have been used on tracks that extend over more than enc engine division, and it will give the first good chance to test the advantages of electric railway trac- tion. Under the new system me railway will not need to haul coal and to keep up coal yards and water tanks. There will be no more delays for taking on coal and wat CT, or repair bills owing to poor coal and bad water; and the danger of forest fires caused by sparks from the locomotive will be at an end.
 The waterfalls of the Rocky mountains and the Cascades ear furnish, 1t is said, power enoug1 to run every mile of railway west of q line drawn north and south through the center of the state of Montana, and north of line drawn from the southern border of Utah to the Pacific coast. Four great hydro-electric companies, n Colorado, Utah, Idaho, and Mon tana, are already equipped to fur nish power for enormous electrifica- lion enterprises, and it is probable that within the nex few years not less than ten thousand miles Of mountain railway will be electrifieI' The Youths Companion.
