Trains Tlaya4 fcy Aalaai Laavo.
Engineers on the railroads in several
parts of the state have experienced much
difficulty in miming their trains on time
dnnng the past week owing to the large
downfall of leaves upon the tracks. The
Housntonic road - has suffered most
through the long stretches of woodland
which the road passes. It has been im
possible for the section hands on the dif
ferent divisions to keep tbe tracks fr--from
them. The result is that when th"
wheels of the locomotive pass over them
the sap from the leaves makes the rails
slippery and the obstruction is as had as
hail, snow or ice. It is even worse, as
the leav-s refuse to melt or freexe, but
stick to the rails nntil dried tip. New

Hot Waii-r Foot Warmer.
A commission sent by the directors of
the French railways to England and
Germany to report upon the means
adopted in those countries fur warming
railway carriages during the winter
finds that France has nothing to learn
from ber neighbors in this respect, bot
water foot warmers similar to those in
ti!s9ou French railways being employed
almost everywhere. On the Northern
-,f France railway, however, an impirt
ant experiment is about to be tried on s
large scale.
All carriages, even on short distance
trains, are to be warmed, and the warmth
is to lie produced by means of boxes of
acetate of sola. The chemical is put in
a solid state into the boi'-s, and the.te
are then plunged into hot water alsmt
100 degs. The effect is th'it the sodn be
comes liquid. On being taken out of
the water tbe boies are wiped dry and
are pnt into the carriages. By degree
'he soda solidifies, and as long as the
operation lasts th.it is, for about five
or six hours it gradually gives off the
heat it has absorbed in the melting pro
cess. London Nt-ws.

"There was one incid-iit in the woods
this season," said a North woods guide,
"which was amusing, to say the least.
A wealthy Ai'oauiaa, whu spWid t:i
ti miner in the vicinity of Lake George,
and who, by the way, enjoys a military
title, came into the woods with great
pomp when deer was in s-aon, and r-v
qne&ted that a deer be captured f ,r him.
This was done and the annual tied to a
tree. Then the military gentleman, who
is a member of a society for the protec
tion of li-tii and game, brought his gun
np aud biased away at the tethered ani
mal. It required six shots from the gun
of the Albanian to mortally wound the
deer. What do yon think of that for
hunting? The guides in the woods when
they beard of the affair vowed tuey
would lynch the man if he came np
there again." Albany Journal.
