CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- A forklift transfers the multi-mission radioisotope thermoelectric generator (MMRTG) for NASA's Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) mission from the airlock of the Payload Hazardous Servicing Facility (PHSF) at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida to the MMRTG trailer. The MMRTG is enclosed in a mesh container, known as the "gorilla cage," which protects it during transport and allows any excess heat generated to dissipate into the air. The MMRTG is being moved to the RTG storage facility following a fit check on MSL's Curiosity rover in the PHSF. The MMRTG will generate the power needed for the mission from the natural decay of plutonium-238, a non-weapons-grade form of the radioisotope. Heat given off by this natural decay will provide constant power through the day and night during all seasons. MSL's components include a compact car-sized rover, Curiosity, which has 10 science instruments designed to search for signs of life, including methane, and help determine if the gas is from a biological or geological source. Waste heat from the MMRTG will be circulated throughout the rover system to keep instruments, computers, mechanical devices and communications systems within their operating temperature ranges. Launch of MSL aboard a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket is targeted for Nov. 25 from Space Launch Complex 41 on Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- Outside the high bay of the RTG storage facility at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, a forklift picks up the protective mesh container, known as the "gorilla cage," enclosing the multi-mission radioisotope thermoelectric generator (MMRTG) for NASA's Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) mission for its move to the Payload Hazardous Servicing Facility (PHSF). The cage protects the MMRTG and allows any excess heat generated to dissipate into the air. In the PHSF, the MMRTG temporarily will be installed on the MSL rover, Curiosity, for a fit check but will be installed on the rover for launch at the pad. The MMRTG will generate the power needed for the mission from the natural decay of plutonium-238, a non-weapons-grade form of the radioisotope. Heat given off by this natural decay will provide constant power through the day and night during all seasons.

MAP SHOWING THE ELECTRIC RAILWAYS IN WISCONSIN shore of Lake Winnebago and the Fox River have encouragedthe building of the lines connecting Fond du Lac, Oshkosh,Omro, Menash, Neenah, Appleton and Kaukauna. The gapbetween Kaukauna and Green Bay is at present being filled,a^ indicated. In the Southern part of the State the Rockford, Beloit &Janesville Railroad is the most prominent and is one of the Lake Winnebago district has no direct connection withMadison at present. The Columbia Construction Company, of Milwaukee, isdoing some preliminary work on a line from Omro to Berlin. The other lines in the State are practically isolated shortlines connecting two or three moderate sized towns, and, as willbe seen, there are a number of such. 532 STREET RAILWAY JOURNAL.

ISOMETRIC VIEW OF ELECTRIC RAILWAY i:XiRKSS STATIONS AT TOLELO resulted in more than doubling the capacity of the depot illus-trated in Mr. Langs article in the Souvenir Street RailwayJournal of 1902. Plan and perspective drawings of the oldand new freight houses are shown in the accompanying illus- trations. The old part is 25 ft. wide by 128 ft. long, and the newpart is 29 ft. wide by 128 ft. long. The interurban freight cars enter through an alley betweenthe two buildings. The freight office is used jointly by allthe interurban roads entering Toledo, including the Toledo &Western, Lake Shore Electric, Toledo & Monroe and Toledo &Maumee Valley Railways. Lack of power has preventedfreight traffic being developed to its fullest extent by some ofthe Toledo roads. On the Toledo & Western, however, whichif the most distinctly freight road of any entering the city, thegrowth has been enormous. The increase in freight on thisroad last year over the previous year was 97 per
