The cars on the line referred to now use up two hours and three-quarters in making the running to Providence, so the cut in the running time is a de- cided one. The change will not only be a beuefit to the public, but to the road as well, as it is und: that | fewer cars will be required to main- taln the schedule, which will mean a saving in wear on equipment and up- keep cost and a smalier number of crews, The schedule time for cars arriving at and leaving Danieison has not been announced, but the matter is under| censideration. ‘ } Term to Close Friday. This is the last week of school in Kiilingly until after the Chrisunas season.

Four Worcester tr g salesmen are hustlers for the houses they repr sent. They are after the trade in their lines in Putnam, and to get S it they took an early train here on a recen morning. The train proved a good place ip which to play whist and while away the time until Putnam was reached—then the slow salesmen who me down on later trains would have chance to wonder why they were not tting bus. s, which, of course, the rly birds would have collected. Fine an—fine game; in fact, such an in- resting game (of whist) that the smen did not give it up when the ain reached Putnam, the end of Its run, and the car the players were oceu- bying was shunted up in the yards and | on to a siding, wh o1 ere the game con- tinued throu, gh the morning hours and in was about to star the return trip to Worcester J:-.t“lz’l.éoopn m. Then the four hustlers reluctantiy put away the pasteboards and went out after the business that, it may chari- tably be hoped, those siow mortals that Wwere to be left behind had not secured and gone away with. The peculiar thing about the game was that it was played for the pleasure and the inter. est and the rivalry—not for money so don’t blame the boys unnecessarily. 8. of V. Officers. George 'W.

The strength of tungsten Mazda lamp filaments has been increased 300 per cent. in the last few years until now they are as strong as the old carbon filaments. The Electric Steel company of In- diana is erecting a plant at Indlanap- olis which will be equipped with an electric steel smelting and refining furnace with a capacity of 7200 pounds. This will be of the arc type. A few years ago a nautomobile with electric light was a novelty. Today nearly all the new cars are equipped with electric lights and electric lamps can be purchased at nearly every garage in the country for any size car. The importation of India rubber in- to the United States during the year ended June 30, 1913, amounted to 113,- 600,000 pounds, which sets a new record for quanitty, although the value $101,000,000, was somewhat less than for the previous year. The passage of an electric current dver a wire always results in some heat. Dn ordinary circuits this heat is very small and easily radiates away. in electric cooking and heating ap- paratus special heat producing wires are used to change the electricity into heat. The cable between the United States and Honolulu cost $20,000,000. The two stations could be connected by wireless for $500,000 or one-fortieth as much. The cost of r‘»peravuon‘nnd up-keep is about the same in either ¢ase. This illustrates the economy of wireless for all marine work. 93 DAYS to SPAIN, ALGERIA, GREECE, the HOLY LAND, ' EGYPT, INDIA and CEYLO N " By the S. S.
