In the March American Magazme Elmer E.

As the result of a series of tests made at a cost of $50,000. the I enrtsylvania has adopted and will install upon its passenegr trains a new electric airbrake control devise whereby a train can be stopped within its own length upon application. The new brake differs from the old mainly in that the control of the air is electric, and can be applied simultaneously to all cars, the full braking power being exerted witbin two seconds after the engineer turns a lever. The installation of the device on all passenger equipment of the Pennsylvania will entail a very large expenditure of money. The airbrake investment of the Pennsylvania at this time is sll.100.000— 57,600,000 on the lines East of Pittsburg and $7,500,000 on the lines West. The cost to equip a locomotive averages $325. of a pasenger car $220 and of a freight car s3o.

Ralph Knoffff, of Lima, Ohio, is among those w'ho today sent in their renewal to the Daily Democrat. He also takes time to say that lie and Mrs. Knoff ar_ happy over the arrival of a big healthy son at their home. Rev.

Three different species of quail are found in CalifoVnia, mountain quail, valley quail, and the Gambei or desert quail. The first is seldom found below 3,000 feet elevation. The Gambei is known only in the southeastern section of the state on the desert where it replaces the valley quail. The valley quail is very numerous all through the fertile lowlands and even goes' high up in the foothills. It is a stronger flyer than the Eastern bob-white, harder to kill, and not as tender and juicy when cooked. — March Outing. Automatic control is the prlcipal feature of a new combination gas stove and fireless cooker, which is described with illustration in the March Popular Mechanics Magazine. The cooking is begun by direct beat from the gas and this is continued until the food is browned. At the proper time the fire is extinguished automatically, pod the remainder of the coqking is done by the heat retained in tlie compartment. This is accomplished by means of a timer which may be set to shut off the fire at the end of any given time. It is reported that thoughtless people have fired several shots through telephone cables and also through terminal boxes. The damage done was considerable and the inconvenience it caused to telephone owners was uncalled v'or. The authorities threaten severe results if the stunt is repeated.—Berne Witness.
