Smallest Railway
 Running in England
Is Only Seven Miles Long and Mar row but Does the
 Business.

American visitors to Europe, on landing at Liverpool or Southampton, are at once struck by the small size of British locomotives as compared iwth the mighty machines in Amer ican railway operation.
 Their astonishment, not unm1xed with amusement, is, however, soon supplemented by adm tor the excellent running made on the Eng fish main lines, but if ones itinerary, takes him into the lakelands and highlands of Cumberland he will there find an independent little line which is said to be "the smallest public railway in the world.'
 This line is known as the Esk- dale Railway, and is seven and one, ejghth miles in length. The rall gauge is one of IS inches only. It IS leased to a London company-Nar- row Gauge Railways, Limit ed.
 The passenger service IS CarIled on by midget express engines, built to? a scale of quarter the size of ordin- arv British main line locomotives, but in other respects exactly the same 1n construction and appearance.

The ques- ton arises: "Is it not possible thai the movement engendered by the union to shut down these Southern mills may have been inspired by New England agitation in order to rid New England mills and their employees o this competition?" The thought Is one that should be given serious con sideration. Should Southern mills bt shut down it would undoubtedly re suit in a great saving to the vast ma iority, certainly 90 per cent. ot them and this would improve the genera situation.

ONE MAN OWNS ENTIRE VILLAGE UP NEAR MlDDLETOWN Ans, Not Political Boss, but Actu- ally Has Title to All
 Turnerville.

Colchester, May 2o-Owning an entire village and reigning supreme as the boss of the hamlet has lost it's charms for C. M. Ans of Mount Vernon, N Y., principally because or impaired health, and he Is soon 10 re lieve himself of the burden o1 that honor.
 In December, 1912, MT. Ans be came sole proprietor Ot the then VII lage of TurnerVille, lying between Willimantic and MiddletOWn on the Ali rLine division of the New Hayen Railroad and a few miles from COI- chester MT. Ans is president ot the Max Ans Machine Company, with headuuarters in New Y ork and 1aC- tories at Mount Vernon.
 The attractive feature of the VII 1aqe is it's wonderful water power: Al the top of hill overlooking It IS lake a mile and a quart ter square, req hv hidden springs which never fal, and the water can be led down so as 10 produce between 500 and 1000 horsepower
 The first man to perceive the value of this lake was the one tor whom the place was originally named-F' W Turner. who started the silk 1n- dustrv there. He employed over 200 men and erected about 50 tenementS for their accommodation; When MT; Turner died, in 1903, his son and widow attempted to carry on the business, but with only fair success.
 In 1000 the whole property, lnclud- inp fo ufractories, the lake, the Vll- Ia9e store and hotel and over 1000 acres of land, was sold to J. Elsten- sen X Co. and David Brown, w no oP- erated walking cane and silk factor ies in New York and New Jersey They moved their factories to 1urn- erviile. but suffered reverses. Fires destroyed two of the four buildings, and of the two remaining at the tune of MT. Ans advent one was be1ng run as a cane factory and the other was idle.
 When MT. Ans took possession of the village he got leglslat1Ve permls, sion to change it's name to "AmSton; Taking up his residence III the old Tnrner homestead, he set to work to develop and beautify the site and It's surroundings. One of his first bene- factions was bird sanctuary, Where the habits of wild birds were studied hv Prof, Herbert K. Job, one o1 the Socialists at the State Agrlcuitural 9o1Ieoe at Storrs.
