If prosperity he based upon busy freight cars then it is apparently headed this way. The semi-monthly report of the committee on car efficiency of the American Railway association shows that during the past two weeks there has ben a reduction in the number of idle cars of 49,045 cars. Of this decrease nearly 26,000 are in box cars and over 18,000 in coal and gon dola cars. The greatest improvement was shown in the New England states and In the northwest. In the former territory th surplus in box cars has almost disap peared and some roads actually have a shortage. In the northwest the movement of grain has drawn into service practically all the grain cars available and the coal situation in this territory has greatly improved. In the eastern and midles states the box car railroads everywhere are taking a more hopeful view of the business situation. Invention of the Newspaper. The newspaper was invented by a Paris physician, who, finding his visits welcome whenever he brought any news or gossip, applied to Cardinal Richelieu for a patent to publish the Paris Gazette in 1622.

Socialism has no footing in this ;ountry as yet, nor is there any indi cation that it will gain a footing in fhe near future at all events. Prior to the war with Russia a small coterie jf men calling themselves socialists irgued vehemently against the openng of hostilities and published a oewspaper organ to propagate their ireed. But they soon dwindled into insignificance, and although a periodical of so-called socialist views conLinues to be published it has no influence, nor does It serve any purpose, ipparently, except to furnish material .'or occasional comment on the part of amused readers.
