To have the shortest railway in the United States, and that paying divi- dends, in unusual, but Dubuque has both. It is three city blecks in length and is a double track. i The road extends from the valley : business section to the top of a 500- i foot plateau, the residential section, tand two cars operated by cable-elec- tricity are used as m&diums of trans- | portation. The road is as old as the city itself, being in operation since 1850, although improvements have been { made from time to time. The earnings of the road are not the result of increases made in the fares, for they have, since the start of the war i 1917, remained stationary, When the cost of everything, including { rail rates, was increased the little road plugged along at the same rates. Citi- zens patronized the road more and more, rather than climb the 560 steps to reach the heights. Only two men are required to operate the line, one at night and the other during the day. At all times there is a car waiting at either terminal, on the plateau or in the valley. The operator in his ca- pacity acts as motorman, conductor and baggage smasher. — Minneapolis Journal. “Leng Tom‘s” History Among the many historic gums in ‘Washington is “Long Tom” which is on Dehlgren avenue in the Washington Navy Yard and is vieweq by thousands of vis- itors to the yard yearly who never dream that it' has such historic interest.

Just why this par- ticular bend of this special river shoyld be so signally set apart is nof kmown, but as these priests are Buddhists thers is perhaps a connection between thig fa- voritism and the fact that In every land where Buddhism is the faith, there are certain places dedicated to Buddha, and strange superstitions woven about the place, These fish are a species of oatfish, which grow to a large size, and they swim to the bank when called. The priests not only feed the fish, but they vet them as we do a dog or a cat. SBome are o tame they do not even squirm in fright when they are picked out of the water and gently handled. In a book" writterl about 1850, Cagptain- Yule, one of a mission sent by the British to upper Burma, then an independent state, bul now under British protection, mention le wmade of the curious facts concerning these fish. How many years before Cap- tain Yule visited this bend in the Irra- waddy river these fish or their ancestors were protected thero is no means of knowing.
