THE 0., R. I. & P. R. R. By January 1st the Rock Island ex pects to be able to open for business its southwestern extension to El Paso, Tex. This line, in connection with the Southern Pacific and the Mexican Cen tral railroads, will give the Rock Island the shortest line both to South ern California and the City of Mexico, nnd make it a dangerous competitor of the Santa Fe. It took just one year to construct the 546 miles of the new ex tension from Liberal, Kan., to El Paso, Tex. For the purpose of complying with the Texas law that every railroad within that state shall have state oper ating headquarters and also for general construction facilities and convenience, the new road was placed under the charters of five different railroad cor porations, viz.: The Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific proper, the Chicago, Rock Island & Mexico, the Chicago, Rock Island & El Paso, the Rock Island & El Paso, and the El Paso & North eastern. The road from Liberal to Santa Rosa, N. M., a distance of 272 miles, was placed under direct Rock Island construction, with J. H. Conlen, vice president of the Chicago. Rock Island & Mexico, as Chief Engineer and General Manager, while from San ta Rosa to Carrizozo, a distance of 130 miles, the construction work was given to the El Paso & Northeastern, which already had a constructed line from El Paso to Carrizozo. The road from Lib eral to Carrizozo will be equipped with eighty-pound steel rails, oak or pitch pine t'<?s, and modern ballasting. De pot, side tracks, switches, Etation houses, yardings, water tanks, and Western Union telegraph lines have all kept pace with actual road building, and when the road Is opened by the first of next year it will be in as perfect condition as any of the lines of the Rock Island system that have been in service for years. In connection with the Rock Island-El Paso line is the new thirty-mile railroad which Is to develop the immense Dawson coal fields, owned by the Rock Island, on the Beaubien and Miranda grant, in the northern part of Colfax county, N. M. This goad will leave the main Rock Island rails at or near Liberal station, twenty miles southwest of the Cana dian river crossing, and run through the New Mexican counties of San Mi guel, Mora and Colfax. This branch will be completed by May 16, 1902. The coal Is to feed the southeastern por tion of the Rock Island-El Paso line, and probably will largely supply the Southern Pacific railroad, In addition to a heavy domestic custom In that section of the country. The comple tion of the El Paso line will give the Rock Island a route of 222 miles short er between Kansas City and El Paso than that of the Santa Fe between the same points, together with a saving of fifteen hours of time, the latter fact being largely due to the favorable alignment and maximum 1 per cent grade of the new Rock Island line. In connection with the Southern Pacific, the Rock Island will have a shorter line from Chicago to Los Angeles than will the Santa Fe. The construction cost of the Rock Island-El Paso line will approximate $7,000,000, an average of about $16,000 per mile.—Chicago Tribune. First Wnmm Ever Photographed.

Draper, in vented a process In which a daguerro type could be made in six minutes. Under previous methods it took an hour and no one could pose that long. Miss Draper’s picture was a success r and it created great interest. The original is now in the possession of Lord Herschel’s heirs in England. CAUSES FOR DIVORCE. “Eitrenie Cruelty" 1* a Charge Repair ing Nice Discrimination. An sufficient causes usually cited for fhe Intervention of law and Infidelity, non-support, “gross neglect of duty,'1 and “extreme cruelty.” In regard to the first, the Injured party, whether man or woman, must keenly feel the personal Indignity offered by infidelity us such a plea for divorce is an open recognition ot the basis of marriage which many a woman had rather en dure wrong than acknowledge in pub lic, writes Mrs. K. Garnett Wells, in the North American Review. The sec ond cause, non-support, is being done away with by the modern, economic woman, who contends for her right to industrial pursuits and alleges her ability and destiny to be a wage earner. It used to be a stigma to be so unattractive as a wife that one was not supported in comfort. Now it is a greater stigma to bp incapable of self support. If both husband and wife are to be wage-earners, or if the un earned increment of Invested capital accrues tc both, it will be difficult for a woman to base a suit upon this ground, except its object to be to secure an arrangement for her participation In her husband's resources, in which case it is still to be hoped, the larger burden of self-support will fall upon the man, once the patron, now the equal, of woman! The third and fourth conditions, "gross neglect of duty” and “extreme cruelty,” appeal to the mind as pregnant phrases, which allow large liberty to offenders and require a nice sense of discrimina tion in tne court. If other conditions are maligned, these can never be—sus ceptible as they are of Individual In terpretation, sheltering alike vanity and modesty. “Neglect of duty" is a much more ethical cause than fhe of fering of “indignities” that render life “intolerable” or “burdensome,” as one might he over-fastidious or too easily bored. "Extreme cruelty” depends up on that to which the victim has been accustomed. But, however bad or mis leading is any "omnibus clause,” it is no worse in its moral effect than re striction of divorce to a single cause. BRIDGES ON WHEELS. Primitive Structures to He Found in Many Parts of Ireland. At Peel, in the Isle of Man. there exist bridge builders more remarkable tfan Mr. Kipling ever dreamt or. These lightning engineers create and demolish a workable bridge every 24 hours. This bridge spans the end of Peel harbor. As this is a haven for many fishing smacks and small steam ers, none but a costly and very lofty arch would be practicable, and Peel is not rolling in wealth. Further, an ex pensive bridge would be a waste, as it only leads to Peel Castle—a fortress so weather-worn that no one resides there or cares to go there except for ' sight-seeing. The thrifty Peel folk surmounted the difficulty in a thor oughly practical manner. Their bridge is a simple wooden affair on wheels. It is In sections, each section looking, when off duty, like a costermonger's harrow. When the tide ebbs the care takers of the bridge wade in and place section after section in the right po sition. Sometimes they are helped by excursionists in rowboats. The sec tions have iron legs at eacli end. These unfold and sink Into the mud. The bridge is finished off with boards on trestles at the termini. When visitors come to see the ancient Peel Castle, the bridge is well patronized. Each person crossing it has to pay a half penny. When the water begins to rise again the bridge Is hastily pulled to pieces and placed on one side till next day. It appears to be a profitable ar rangement, especially in summer, when so many tourists visit the island, and are anxious to investigate the beauties of the castle at close quarters. Primi tive bridges of a similar kind are to be found in Ireland. Electric Motor*. The great objection to electric mo tors—that they will not run far enough without recharging—is said to be over come. Recently in England a circuit of 94 miles was run without recharg ing. It was done with a battery of 42 four-plate cells, with a capacity of 180 ampere-hours. The carriage was a four-wheel dogcart with two motors of two and a half horse-power each. The secret of the battery which enabled it to make such a record was that in going down grade the motors were re versed, thus making dynamos for charging the accumulators. In this way the current was not only saved, but a new current actually generated, rendering the battery stronger at the bottom of the grade than it was at the top. Not Mnch! "I wish I dared to usk you some thing, Miss Millie” said Archey with trembling voice and wabbling chin. "Why don’t you dare to ask it?” the maiden said demurely. "Because I can lee ‘no’ in your eyes.” "In both of them?” "Ye-es.” "Well don’t you— don’t you know two negatives are equivalent to an—how dare you sir! Take your arm from around my waist, instantly!" But he didn’t. Earth as a Conductor. English experiments, conducted with what is known as the "Armorl” system, are now attracting wide attention, and are believed to have carried telegraphy without artificial conductors far be yond the invention of Marconi. Bj this plan the electric vibrations are Bent through the ground, no pofes or receiving points to gather the current from the air being needed to make the system operative. 1 Hitr In hRTIDCR Itailkft. Savings bank depos'ts In this coun try are now the largest in the world, reaching $2,310,600,000. These deposits have doubled in about lifteen years. Germany is the next largest, $1,900. 000.000 Austria-Hungary, $1,201,240, 000; France, $864,220,000, and the Uni ted Kingdom. $829,020,000. Compari sons of this kind are not conclusive, because savings in Germany are plac ed in co-operative banks. Building associations both in this country and in European lands carry also a large share of savings. In this country these hold $700,000,000 of savings. Fraud Properly Checked. A lady appeared as a complainant in a New York court the other day against a young woman who had per sistently accosted her on the streets, asking for alms. It appeared for the evidence of the young woman’s own mother that her daughter had refused to work, saying she could make money easier by begging, and that she some times got $3 or $4 in a day, which she spent on dress and amusement gen erally. The fraudulent character of her occupation was further exempli fied when, after the court had merci fully let her off with a fine of only $10, she coolly sent for her bank book to pay it! A Blacksmith'* Story. Goodlaml, Kans., Dec. 23.—N. E. Al bertson. a local blacksmith, had almost decided to give up his shop altogether on account of Rheumatism which had crippled him so that at times he could ; not use his hammer. His shoulders and arms were so sore that he couldn't sleep at night. He had suffered for years, but was gradu ally getting worse, till at last he had about made up his mind to give up. But just then he heard of some won derful cures of Rheumatism by Dodd's Kidney Pills and thought he would try for a cure once more. They cured him completely and he has not a trace of Rheumatism left. The shop will not be given up and Mr. Albertson may be seen there any day hard at work as if nothing had ever ailed him. !Mr» Ward Ik a I.InguUt.
