KEEP WATCHES TRUE

IMPORTANT ‘FACTOR IN MAKING 1 - .TRAVEL SAFE. " r Railroad Men’s Timepieces Must pe Inspected Once a Week—Slight Variation Might Mean Serious Disaster.

The railroad watch Inspector probably has as much to do with making

There Is one man who has general charge of keeping the watches of several grjeat systems in order.. His territory extends from New York to San Francisco and he has offices in Cleveland, Chicago and on the Pacific coast. He employs a large number of Inspectors, who travel constantly over the various railways wltfi which he has contracts seeing that the watches of the thousands of trainmen are kept running accurately to the second. Every employee’s watch has to be inspected at least once a week. If It is as little as 30 seconds out of the way . the watch has to be turned in to be repaired and regulated, another being loaned In Its place. If this were not done systematically and continually there is no telling Iwhat accidents might result. Many years ago five minutes’ leeway for variation in watches. *Today no allowance whatever is made. Every watch must be absolutely accurate and porrespond with every other watch. In the old days conductors and engineers were allowed to carry any kind of watch and regulated it themselves. The 18-hour train between New York and Chicago would have been impossible then. With watches of abi solute precision and that can be depended upon they are now run on time to the dot, unless something unusual happens. It Is the rule that the conductor on any of these fast trains must report if he is 30 seconds late on reaching any of the stops. There are 37 different kinds of watches for use by railroad men. They are manufactured in eight different establishments that have been approved by the watch inspectors. Each employe has to carry a little card in his pocket which contains a full description of his watch and on which is written the record of each inspection. The men themselves have to buy and pay for their watches. It was found by the Pennsylvania railroad, when they tried the experiment some years ago, that It was not practlcable for the company to buy the watches and issue them to their employees. The men were careless, and in some instances pawned the timepieces. The prices at which the watches are sold and the cost of repairs are regulated by contract with the railroad company. A watch with a filled case and standard movement can be bought for about S4O, but there are others that are approved and cost much less. All of them have to be adjusted to temperatures ranging from 30 to 95 degrees, because the balance wheels of brass and steel change with heat and cold. They also are adjusted to five different positions. All standard railroad watches must contain at least 17 Jewels; some are made with 19 and some with 2L More than the latter number, the experts say, would be useless. The jewels of a watch are its bearings. They are made of rubies or white sapphires and the holes in them are so small that they cannot be seen with the naked eye, Watches never were so cheap and so accurate as they are now. This is largely due to the standard which the railroads have established, and while an accurate watch Is a good thing for the man who stays at home It is infinitely better for the one who travels.

England's Military Railway.

The South-Western Is our most important military line. It skirts the Channel, and has more military stations on it than any other. It connects the three great naval, stations, Portsmouth, Portland and Plymouth, with the two great camps, and serves as many garrison towns as it does cathedral cities. The road it jointly owns with the Brighton into Portsmouth is the only one in the country that passes through a rampart. And. owing to the concentration of the troopships at Southampton, it carries every British soldier that goes or returns on foreign service.—Westmina ter Gazette.

travel safe as any one man in a great railway system’s employ. If a trainman's watch is 30 seconds slow or fast it might mean a disaster in these days when the rails are crowded with passenger and freight traffic and meeting points between trains have to be arranged on the smallest possible margins of time.

NATURAL ACT FOR MOTHER

Women Understand That Not Heroism but Bimply Love Prompted Self Sacrifice. A few days ago, In a somewhat squalid neighborhood, a house caught fire. The flames shot quickly through the litter on the floor and the untidy array of clothing on the walls. A woman talking with a neighbor ran screaming to the house and without an Instant’s hesitation sprang through the smoking doorway into what already seemed an Inferno. A moment later she staggered out, her hands and face blackened and blistered and her clothing on fire. In her arms she bore her baby, safe from harm. The afternoon papers came out with the story, printed under headlines extolling this mother’s heroism. Men read it on street cars, and as their eyes gleamed with the stirring of the spirit which leaps to greet noble deeds they said; “That woman dared to do what most men would be afraid to do.” But the mothers who read it at home did not think that way. Perhaps the danger to the baby, the wrecking of the home and the burns the woman suffered brought moisture to their eyes, but to them the act was not one of heroism—it was simply what any natural mother, no matter how timid, would do under the same circumstances.—Cleveland Leader.

Completely Pauperized.

Albert W. Hebbard, New York’s charity expert, said at a recent dinner; ‘The great danger of charity Is Its pauperizing effect. This effect must be avoided, or the recipients will all become Jack Hanches. "Jack Hanch, on the score of bad health never worked, and the pastor of the Methodist church, a man whose heart sometimes outran his head, sent the Idler and his family weekly gifts of food and clothing—supported the whole crew, in fact. “A church visitor, after listening to Jack's complaints one day, said: “ ‘Yes, of course, you have had bad health, we know that; but one thing at least you ought to be thankful for, and that Is our pastor’s kindness in sending you all this bread and meat and Jelly and blankets and so on. Don’t you think it is good of him to look after you so well?” “ ‘Good of him?’ said Jack, impatiently. ‘Why, what’s he for?’ ”

Fable of Pan of Biscuits.

A Vassar girl married a Kansas farmer. Two weeks later a cyclone made the happy pair a friendly call. It cavorted around the premises, ripping up the fences, scattering the haystacks and playing horse with the barn, but when It looked through the open window it drew back in alarm. There lay the bride’s first pan of biscuits. “I ain't feelin’ very strong this morning,” murmured the cyclone. And with another glance at the terrible pan it blew itself sway.

WISE WORDS.

A Physician on Food. , A physician, of Portland, Oregon, has views about food. He says: “I have always believed that the duty of the physician does not cease with treating the sick, but that we owe it to humanity to teach them how to protect their health, especially by hygienic and dietetic laws. “With such a feeling as to my duty I take great pleasure in saying to the public that in my own experience and also from personal observation I have found no food equal to Grape-Nuts, and that I find there is almost no limit to the great benefits this food will bring when used In all cases of sickness and convalescence. "It is my* experience that no physical condition forbids the use of GrapeNuts. To persons in health there is nothing so nourishing and acceptable to the stomach, especially at breakfast, to start the machinery of the human system on the day's work. "In cases of indigestion I know that a complete breakfast can be made of Grape-Nuts and cream and I think it is not advisable to overload the stomach at the morning meal. I also know the great value of Grape-Nuts when the stomach is too weak to digest other food. “This is written after an experience of more than 20 years, treating all manner of chronic and acute diseases, and the letter is written voluntarily on toy part without any request for it” Read the little book, "The Road to Wellville.” in pkga. “There’s a Reason."

Was Getting Monotonous.

A handsome woman who had been so unfortunate as to find occasion' to divorce not one but several husbands was returning from Nevada. In Chicago she happened to meet her first husband, for whom, by the way, she always has entertained a real affection. 1 “Upon my soul, if it isn’t Charlie!” exclaimed the ex-wife, cordially, shaking hands with the gentleman whose name she had formerly borne. “I’m awfully glad to see you, Charlie!” Then, after a wistful expression had come to and been banished from her countenance, she added: “Old chap, I’ve often wondered where you were and what you were doing. It was too bad we didn't get on better together. I hope your experience hasn’t been as unpleasant as mine. I’m sick and tired of marrying strangers!”

Deadlock.

“Who is that man who has been sitting behind the bar day after day?” inquired the stranger in Crimson Gulch. “That’s Stage Coach Charley. He’s in a peculiar predicament.

Charley won’t submit to havin’ the nuggets pried out an’ the proprietor won't let him git away with the collateral, and there you are!”

ELECTRICITY VERSUS STEAM

Inventors Have Much to Accomplish Before Motor Generally Displaces the Engine. The electrification of steam railroads is steadily becoming a nearer possibility, although the Inventors have yet much to accomplish before the motor generally displaces the engine. The opening wedge comes in the form of electrification of terminals in the largest cities, where conditions of heavy passenger traffic prevail and where the greatest objection Is made to the smoke nuisance, says H. H. Windsor in Popular Mechanics. Progress along these lines has been made in New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore, and other large cities are likely to follow,'in the next few years. The railroads claim that substitution of electricity for steam out on the main lines would Involve prohibitltfe losses by making junk of millions of dollars’ worth of steam locomotives. This, however. Is misleading and far from true, for during the several years necessarily consumed in changing over, say, 1,000 miles of trunk line, the future would be taken Into consideration. As fast as the steam locomotives on one division were released they would be transferred to other divisions to take the place of wornouts there, and at last there would be branch lines of their own and smaller roads which would absorb a great part of what motive power remained at the finish. There would be some direct loss, and some indirect, such as placing on branch lines heavier and faster locomotives than the business required; but the loss from this Item would be only a fraction of the whole. There would be other millions of dollars, now invested in locomotive repair shops, thrown out of use, hut this would bring its own compensation, for the electric locomotive goes to the shop only two or three times a year, where the steam locomotive must be overhauled constantly. Moreover, the cost of repairs to the electric machine is insignificant compared to the cost of maintenance of the steam locomotive. The elimination of smoke, cinders and sparks will contribute to the comfort and luxury of long-distance travel quite as much as did the air brake when it displaced the hand brake.

Wireless Telephone on Trains.

At last the modern business man can transact his business while aboard a railroad train. Recently a young inventor, Henry Von Kremer, applying the principle of wireless telephonic communication, succeeded in carrying on a conversation from a train going at a rate of 40 miles an hour, with a signal house miles down the track. This feat was accomplished On ths Brighton railway In England. Two lines of,wire were laid along the track, one telephone apparatus was installed in the signal house and another was set up in the baggage car. Von Kremer, on the train, dictated several telegrams to the min in the signal house. Mr. Van Kremer’s Invention is not a new one, but is said to be an improvement over other apparatus, since it does away with all contact with the wires, the impulse “Jumping” the distance of 18 inches between the car bottom and the roadbed. His greatest difficulty was overcoming the induction of the nearby telegraph and telephone wires. He succeeded In doing this by suspending a loop of wire about the car in which his telephone waß stationed, thus cutting off all interfering outside currents. It 1b believed the system can be extended any length.

Madman at Throttle.

An exciting adventure with a mad engine driver on a milk train occurred recently, in which a disastrous collision was averted. When his condition was discovered the train was traveling 60 miles an hour with another train carrying 400 passengers only a few hundred yards ahead. Both were bound from Albany to New York. The conductor of the milk train, who noticed that Instead of going at ten miles an hour the train was traveling seven times as fast, climbed Into the tender and discovered that the throttle was wide open and that the driver was lying on the floor of the cab with blood flowing from a wound in the side of his head. The conductor and the fireman tried to reach the throttle, when the wounded man Bprang to his feet and fought furiously to frustrate their plan. For five minutes the extraordinary struggle proceeded. The driver was only overcome when the danger of a collision with the crowded train wis imminent.

Officer Feared Trap.

Opening the door of an express car, westbound over the Pennsylvania railroad at Altoona, the other night, to investigate a report that a man was secreted therein, a railroad officer was surprised when a voice cried: “Hello!” “Hello!” he replied. “Come in!” invited the unseen occupant. "Thanks!” responded the offloer in mock politeness, suspecting a trap. Taking the precaution to protect himself in of an attack, he entered and found he had been talking to a parrot

A Logical Landlord.

Many a tenant will sympathize with the man in this story, from the Philadelphia Record. He was renting a small house which the landlord had refused to repair. One day the owner came to see him. “Jones,” he said, “I shall have to raise your rent.” “What for?” asked Jones, anxiously. “Have taxes gone up?” “No,” the landlord answered, “but I see you’ve painted the house and put in a new range and bathtub. That, of course, makes it worth more rent.”
