Why worry when the swimming Is good? Flying is sadly in need of a safety Attachment. Don’t make a man hot by telling trim to beep cool. Among the few things that are better broken may be mentioned heat waves. A German scientist has found 61, 400,000 germs in a raisin. 801 l your raisins.

Instead of trying our popular songs tm the dog we should first have them cung to the cow and note results. The emperor of China is to wear a military coat of European cut and tuck his shirt into his trousers. China la up and coming. That boy aviator who cuts circles to the sky will not have to wait more than a week or two before finding himself the hero of a 5-cent thriller. A New York woman has recently been hunting through that city for an honest lawyer. When last heard from she was reported to be hoping on.

That New York woman who sent f6OO worth of jewels to the Iceman by mistake did not wrap up the chunk of Ice he left” under the impression that tt was a diamond. A St. Louis professor has discovered that noise shortens life, and this discovery we recommend to the whistling milkman and the neighbor *who rises at 4:00 a. m. to mow his lawn. It may be true that a cow gives flown her milk better when there is tousle in the air, as an expert says, but that is no reason why the milkman should whistle while making his early morning calls. A financial news Item reports a "superfluity of money in London." But even under such conditions and with summer heat prevailing the average Englishman probably will not admit that he has money to burn. •% A Florida woman who is the mother of 13 children has received a souvenir spoon from the state. As a dozen spoons constitute a set, it will readtiy be seen that she can furnish her table sooner by saving trading stamps. A California girl, fined $25 for racing her automobile against a steam locomotive, told the magistrate that the fun was worth the price. That 'is the trouble with the speed maniacs. The fun is more important to them than the safety of the public highway and the fine that may be thrown in. The only way to stop it is to impose a penalty that is weightier to them than the excitement of railroad speed on an open road.

Americans are winning in fields where intellectual ability counts, as well as In more materialistic linpp. The Royal Academy of Science of Prussia has conferred on a young man who formerly was a student at Columbia university. New York, the Leibnitz gold medal, 1 a very notable distinction, and awarded only to those showing high scholarship. The winner is the first American to whom the priie has been given. Everybody will rejoice that the forest fires which threatened destruction to the big trees of Sequoia National park in Californa, have been brought under control and that the danger is past for the present. The big trees are unique, and once burned could never be replaced. They are among the most interesting of the natural curiosities of the T'nitod States, and it is to be hoped may be preserved for hundreds of years in addition to the long life they have already enjoyed. The little submarine boat Salmon, built for the United States, navy, seems to have shown beyond a doubt that she is seaworthy. She made, a trip from Quincy, Mass., to Bermuda, over a course where rough weather and heavy waves are frequently encountered. and went through a rather trylng experience. But she stood the test and has demonstrated that craft of this kind may be operated effectively on the surface of the water as well as below. Her exploit adds another to the list of American submarines. A woman lawyer, who had exhausted every other resource during the trial of a case, ended up by crying. That is an argument that no male attorney has been able to answer. Gold continues to pour out of Alaska In a steady stream, with a fair prospect that the year’s yield wni beat all records. The recent addition tc the World’s supply of the precious metal is without precedent. Anj the United States gets a big part rt the output and hence is “well fixed” uu* Withstanding the large exporta lately.

NEW FREIGHT TYPE

SOME GOOD POINTS OF THE RECENT MALLET LOCOMOTIVE. Has Two Sets of Engines, Each Complete in Itself—Modified From,. French De- - sign.

Dp to a few years ago the locomotive commonly used for freight serv-

and safely. It weighed In working order and not including the tender from HO to 125 tons and ha<f a tractive power of from 30,000 to 40,000 pounds. The period covering the last five years has seen the introduction updn our railways of a new type of locomotive, modified from that of a French designer, Mallet, and according to Moody’s Magazine it bids fair to become standard on lines of heavy traffic and staep grades. The Millet locomotive has an enormous boiler, mounted on two sets of engines, each with its own cylinders and driving wheels. Each engine is complete in ltsel'f and of approximately the Size and dimensions of a standard Consolidation. - v * It possesses two points of advantage, namely, its ease and flexibility In taking curves and its greater power. The former Is attained by arranging one set ofWngines with its frame hinged or pivoted so that it may adjust itself to the curvature of the track. The latter is obvious, since two engines are more powerful than one If enough steam is supplied for both.

Steam from the boiler enters the steam chests and does its work in one set of cylinders, and when exhausting from these does not puff out of the stack directly into the air, but passes through a pipe having a flexible joint into the steam chests of the second set of cylinders, finally passing through suitable exhaust passages to the smokestack and thus to the atmosphere. _ % -x One of the engines, the second one just mentioned that receives the exhaust steam from the first, or high pressure cylinders, is mounted on a frame that can turn or swivel independently' of the rest of the structure. The steam pipes leading to and from this set of cylinders are made with flexible joints in order to permit such motion. This Is the feature that makes It possible to operate such a long locomotive, since a rigid wheel base of from 50 to 60 feet is out of the question on a crooked road. The length being greater than that of a standard locomotive, is a draw rback, because turntables must be rebuilt to accommodate these new r monsters, as the engine alone is almost as long as an engine and tender together that w T ere standard many years ago. In addition to this, the men running them find that.it is difficult to get an unobstructed view of the track ahead on account of ttie great length of the boiler. This was the case in running through tunnels and snow sheds where the smoke and gases hang low and make seeing ahead a very uncertain matter with an ordinary locomotive. On those portions of the Southern Pacific where oil is used as locomotive fuel this difficulty is overcome by running the new Mallet compounds backward, so that the cab is at the head end In running, thus giving the engineer the best possible view in front of him. The tender is coupled tp the smokestack end of the engine, where the cow-catcher is usually placed, and the oil is piped from the tender to burners in the firebox. The tractive force of the Mallet locomotives varies from 70,000 to 106,000 pounds, equal to that of two Consolidations of the largest type. They have been built for eight of our railway systems, and in every instance have come up to the expectations of designers and traffic officials. They save the wages of one train crew-, they can be operated to produce one horse power on a smaller coal or oil consumption than the engines commonly used and even when used merely as helpers or pushers save the necessity of breaking trains into tw6 sections at the foot of a grade.

Disinfecting a Whole Car.

The danger of infection in railroad cars, especially sleeping cars, has long been recognized, and the cleaning of such cars, their cushions and bedding. Is an esesntial part of their care. But a methodical German has invented a meaps of subjecting a whole car to a process of disinfection and sterilization. The Potsdam officials have built a tube 15 fCet in diameter and 70 feet long, or large enough to take In a European sleeping car. The ends are closed with air-tight doors. Then hot air is turned on, at a temperature high enough to kill most of the undesirable passengers that sometimes travel free in car cushions, especially in southern Europe. At the same time the air is exhausted to a pressure corresponding to four er five inches of - mercury. This continues the process begun by the great heat. Finally, formaldehyde vapor Is introfluded, completing the discomfiture of microbes that may have been left behind by travelers. Notfiing remains /hut to open the cylinder and ,let>-*d?sh air replace the disinfecting irumes.

ice In the United States and Canada was of a type known as the Consolidation. It had four driving axles and a leading twowheel truck to enable It to take curves more easily

STEEL CARS NOW IN DEMAND

American Car and Foundry Company Expects Wooden Ones to Rapidly Pass Out. The growth the demand for new equipment by the railroads during tho past year is reflected In the report of the American Car and Foundry company for twelve months,'which shows net earnings of 14,089,479, an increase of $1,193,647. After paying 7 per cent, on the preferred stock there was left a balance equivalent to 6.63 per cent, on the common, compared with 2,65 per cent, earned on that stock in 1908. Out of this surplus 2 per cent, was paid on the common, $1,000,000 was added to the reserve for the construction of steel car plants, and the balance, amounting to $380,478, was added to the company’s working capital, ■jhich was thus increased to a total of $17,770,023^ The arhount of orders on the company’s books on April 30 was considerably larger than on the corresponding date last year. By far the ,larger part of the year’s increase business, however, was handled during the first six months, the orders received during the last half of the year being affected by the curtailment which was put into effect by the railroads during this period. In recognition of the growing demand for steel cars In place of wooden ones the company during the past year added considerably to the steel car capacity of several of its plants, but it has postponed the Construction of the new steel car plant which was to have been constructed at Gary. It was found more desirable during the past year, the report says, to increase the capacity of existing plants rather than to build an entirely new plant. The purpose to build such a plant, however, has not been completely abandoned. In all the Improvements to its plants, the report says, the American Car and Foundry company has in mind the growing demand for steel cars, and it is prepared for the time when steel cars will entirely supersede wooden cars.

HEAD BROKEN, STUCK TO POST

Express Messenger Remained in Car With Money Package at End of Run. t ■ e ' His skull fractured in two places and able only to retain consciousness by will pow-er, Gaorge S. Whitney, an express messenger on a Lake Shore train, stuck to his post for nearly two hours until his train arrived in Buffalo. He then lapsed into unconsciousness and was removed to a hospital. He probably will die. When Whitney left Cleveland at 8:30 a. m. an unusually large sum of money was placed in his charge. At Dunkirk he looked out of the car door just as it slammed shut, catching his head. He refused to go to the Dunkirk hospital, insisting that he must deliver the money packages at Buffalo.

The Six-Wheels Truck.

Many American cars are carried on trucks which have three pairs of wheels. This construction almost entirely prevents the jolting in passing over the ends of rails which is so annoying when the old style of truck with four wheels is employed. When the front wheel of a four wheeled truck has passed the last of the cross ties which support the rail on which the wheel is rolling the end of the rail Is bent downward by the pressure exerted by the wheel, which is equal to about one-eighth of the weight of the car. Hence the wheel strikes violently against the end of the nekt rail, which is not correspondingly depressed. The front wheel of the six wheeled truck reaches the junction of the two rails before the middle wheel has passed the last cross tie, so that the middle and rear wheels rest on- the rigid part of the rail. In these conditions there is no tendeucy for the flexible portion to bend.

Long Railway in Japan.

A piece of railroad construction was recently completed by which the island of Japan now has a system running throughout the full length of the empire. The total length of the line is 1,750 miles and the distance from north to south of she island can now be covered in five days and nights. At the close of the fiscal year 1907-8, 4,452 miles of state railroad had been opened to traffic and 456 miles of railway were controlled by private Interests.

RAW ECZEMA ON HANDS

“I had eczema on my hands for ten years. I had three good doctors but none of them did any good. I then used one box of Cuticura Ointment and three bottles of Cuticura Resolvent and was completely cured. My hands were raw all over, Inside and out, and the eczema was spreading all over my body and limbs. Before I had used one bottle, together with the Cuticura Ointment, my spres were nearly healed over, and by the time I had used the third bottle, I was entirely well. To any one who has any skin or blood disease I would honestly advise them to fool with nothing else, but get Cuticura and get well. My hands have never given me the least bit’ of trouble up to now. “My daughter’s hands this summer became perfectly raw with eczema. She could get nothing that would do them any good until she tried Cuticura. She used Cuticura Resolvent and Cuticura Ointment and in two weeks they were entirely cured. I have used Cuticura for other merfibers of my family and it always proved successful. Mrs. M. E. Falin, Speers Ferry, Va., Oct. 19, 1909.”

History Cleared Up.

The third grade was “having history." Forty youngsters were making guesses about the life and character of the Father of His Country, when the teacher propounded a question that stumped them all. “Why did aWshington cross the Delaware ?” Why, indeed? Not a child could think of anything but the answer to the famous chicken problem: “To get on the other side,” and, of course, that wouldn’t do. Then little Annie’s hand shot into the air. Little Annie crosses the Delawarfe every summer herself, hence the bright Idea. “Well, Annie?” "Because he wanted to get to Atlantic City.”—Philadelphia Times.

It Was the Other Way.

"Mr. Jones,” said the senior partner in the wholesale dry goods house to the drummer who Btiood before him in the private office, “you have been with us for the past ten years.” “Yes, sir.” “And you ought to know the rules of the house. One of them is that no man of ours shall take a sida line.” “But I have none, sir.” "But you have lately got married.” “Yes; but oan you call that a side line, Mr. Jones?” “Technically, it may not be.” "You needn’t fear that having a wife Is going to bring me in off a trip any sooner.” "Oh, I don’t. It Is the fear that having a wife at home you’ll want to stay out on the road altogether!”

Picturesque Language.

“I’m afraid fire has very poor table manners.” “Why so?" “A young reporter says the 'greedy flames devoured everything In reach and then licked the paint off an adjoining building.”—Birmingham AgoHerald.

Playing the Market.

“Curbroke never pays for his meat until a month afterward.” “So I hear. Prices in the meantime go up, and he feels as though he’d made something.”—Puck. If a fireman antagonizes you tell him to go to blazes.
