Black Snakes Beneficent.

In Burlington county, New Jersey, the farmers who, In the erroneous belief that they are a pest, have been killing black snakes, are being urged to conserve them as enemies of the rattlers, which haye been unpleasantly numerous this year.' The damage done by the non-polsonous reptiles Is now recognised to be a slight account In comparison with the good they do. Not only will the black snake fight and best the rattler, but he earns more than his keel) by keeping down other pests. It has taken man a long time to Identify his friends of the lower orders, and even today many persecuted animals do not receive the credit that is due them. —New York Sun.

CHINA WANTS OUR GOODS

American Manufacturers Are Meeting Favorable Reception at Hands of Orientals. The Chinese are beginning distinctly to favor American goods and regard America as a model from a manufacturing as w'ell as governmental viewpoint, according to Maurice Benjamin, general manager of the Olives Import and Export company, Shanghai, China. In spite of the famine in freight, he says, American manufacturers are not only gradually finding their way into China, but are being sought by the Orientals. “The tremendous disturbances In Europe have not failed to leave traces in China," he said. “In this the high freight rates have played no small part. China wonders w r hy so large a nation as America should have no mercantile marine. In some lines where only $lO per ton was paid before the war for transportation from the United States west coast to China, as much as S4O per ton has recently been paid. “I believe the day is not tary distant when we will see a new China. When the 400,000,000 people there begin to want machinery, railways and other requirements of civilization, America will benefit. It is a common error to think that the Chinese are too inveterately conservative to adopt Western civilization. 'Hie cost of living of Chinese in towns where there are Europeans has probably doubled In the last few years.”

Meudon In Wartime.

Meudon, the gay Meudon of trysts and moonlight promenades, has been , transformed into a military camp. The station platform is crowded with uniformed soldiers of all branches; men on furlough in their suits of faded blue like dirty water, showing with pride holes torn in their coats by rifle balls, convalescents wearing the old red pantaloons, used only by those behind the fighting line, often' with one leg folded up; Zouaves, whose baggy trousers, formerly blood-red, have now changed to an earthy color; Belgians in long brown coats, who never smile, and British Tommies spick and span as if they had just stepped from a bandbox. The women, in passing, glance at the war crosses and smile. —Mme. Ber-nardini-Sjoestedt in Cartoons Magazine. , ,

MANY CARS BUILT

RAILROAD EQUIPMENT CONTINUES SATISFACTORY. 1 . ' That a Better, More Expensive Grade r la Being Produced Is a Fact Made Prominent by Recent Statistics. The 1914 figures showing the construction of steam and railroad cars in this country, as announced by the United States bureau of the census, furnish evidence that, compared with 1909, cars of higher price have been produced. Another fact brought out in the statistics is the great increase in number of steam passenger cars and slight increase inr the output of electric cars. The average value of steam freight cars remained about stationary. Returns for 1914 were received from 242 establishments which manufactured 138,178 steam and electric cars, valued at $165,071,427. These totals include figures for 118 railroad repair shops which reported the construction of 11,049 new cars, valued at $12,811,087, and seven establishments engaged primarily in other lines of manufacture but which produced 4,481 railway cars valued at $3,178,677, us subsidiary products. For lpo9 there were reported 280 establishments which manufactured 101,243 cars, valued at $102,147,396. Of these 280 establishments, 140 were railroad-repair shops which constructed 14,792 cars, valued at $13,952,923, and 16 were establishments engaged" primarily in other industries but which built 8,981 cars, valued at $5,934,871, as subsidiary products. The number of establishments engaged in this industry thus decreased by 38, or 13.6 per cent, during the five-year period; but the number of cars built increased by 36.5 per cent, while their value increased by 61.6 per cent. In 1914 there were built 135,357 steam-railway cars, valued at $155,029,539, as compared with 98,471 cars, valuedL at $94,884,287, built in 1909, the percentages of increase in number a ) nd value of annual output being 37.5 and 63.4, respectively. The number of steam passenger cars built in 1914 was 3,558. The corresponding product for 1909 was 1,819 cars, valued at $15,120,961. The Increase in annual output of such cars during the five-year period amounted to 95.6 per cent in number and 197.8 per cent in value. 0| freight and other cars for use on steam railroads, the output in 1914 was 131,799, valued at $110,002,456, the corresponding output for 1909 being 96,652, valhed at $79,763,326. The increase amounted to 36.4 per cent in number and 37.9 in per cent in value. r Dhe number of electric cars manufactured in 1914 was 2,821, and their value was $10,041,888. In 1909 there were built 2,772 electric cars valued at $7,263,109. The number of curs constructed was thus only L 8 per cent greater in the later year than In the earlier, but during the five-year period their value Increased by 38.3 per cent. The output of electric cars in 1914 comprised 2,583 passenger cars, 110 freight cars and 128 other cars.

Possibilities of Air Travel.

Already the business of flying, like the marvelous business of the automobile, has made an impress on the language, customs and thought. When flying is the routine of life, when a jaunt to Japan or a flying trip to Russia is" only a matter of hours, when families take their outings in air yachts, the details of living will be amended again and that the change will be for the better is a hope justified by the perfection of those other mechanical marvels which have built up our civilization.

Pneumatic Tire Business.

How many people realize the sensational development that the pneumatic tire business has experienced? The first company to undertake the manufacture of pneumatic tires was the Dunlop company, organized in Dublin, Ireland, in 1889, with a capital of about $75,000 to make tires for bicycles, and it rapidly grew to be a great business. Then came ffief automobile to add its demands, and today, only 27 years later, the pneumatic tire business of the world is estimated at the enormous sbm of $650,000,000.

It Took a Sculptor Three Weeks to Fashion These Locomotives in a Clay Composition.

When a western railroad v wanted to convey the information to\ the traveling public that its locomoyves were of the newest and biggest design it called in Emory P. Seidel, the sculptor, and asked him to make models of them. Mr. Seidel searched sbme time for a suitable substance out of which

LOCOMOTIVES OF CLAY

HUMAN RISK EVER PRESENT

Impossible, Entirely to EUmfit|rt4 That Peril in the Operation of Railroads. A correspondent of thq New York Sun sends that journal the following: “Your editorial article entitled ‘Another Rear-End Collision,’ referring to the recent wreck at Milford, Conn., prompts the following on a subject which, to me, has been of absorbing interest for several years past, more especially since the wreck of the Federal' Express on July 12, 1911, which resulted in the killing of 12 persons outright, the Injuring of 100 and large material damage. “The train was in the hands of nn experienced engineer of proved trustworthiness who ignored a signal and took the short crossover at a high rate of speed. The ‘ engineer of the locomotive which caused the Milford wreck —he was killed —was a man of good reputation and high standing as a locomotive engineer, yet he evidently ran by, first a caution signal, and later a ‘home’ or stop signal, without appreciably reducing the speed of his train. “The signal system in use on the New Haven railroad at the present time is beyond question as complete and mechanically perfect as any in this country. In the recent wreck, it was not the signal which failed, but the human response to the signal’s command. Thus many serious wrecks of the past few years have been due, as far as investigation has been able to determine, to the failure of some responsible employee to obey the command of a mechanical signal. In the majority of cases, hud the engineers adhered to the running rules, the wrecks would have been averted, no lives lost and no property damaged.”

Renewing Railroad Lines.

Many people think that railroad lines hardly ever want renewing. A steel rail is in Its old age, however, in its tenth year, though some on local lines last twice that amount of time. In the big railroad junctions and termini the rails are continually being renewed. At points and Curves the lines wear out very much more quickly than on those sections which are straight. They also wear away rapidly at stations, where the wheels are often locked by the brakes and tear off a thin coating from the rail top. When the surface of a rail on a main line is worq down too much for safe traveling, it is taken up and put on a siding. When it is beyond further use It is sold to steel and iron merchants, who melt it down and turn it into iron fencing, cheap iron rods, and indeed all the odds-and-ends of cheap iron and steel ware. It Is no use going to a railway company and offering to buy a ton of rails, or even 50 tons. When rails are sold they go at the rate of thousands of tons at a time. An order for 10,000 tons of sec-ond-hand railroad lines is nothing out of the common.

Electric Braking Control.

/ Probably one of the most remarkable features of the installation of electric power on the mountain divisions of the St. Paul is the electric braking control to hold back trains on long descending grades and to return power to the line. When the summit of a grade is reached and descent is begun there is none of the speeding up and choking down process that characterizes steam traction. On down-grade work the electric locomotive glides down the mountainside at precisely the same rate of speed, all the way, and, moreover, reversing its giant motors, becomes a generator of electric energy all the way down, returning to the supply wires overhead anywhere from 25 to 30 per cent of the power used in making the ascent. The airbrakes will be required only in emergency, so that in addition to the economy In power consumed, there is a marked advantage over ordinary friction braking because of the reduced wear and tear on track, wheels and brake shoes.

Women Workers on Railroads.

About 25,000 women are employed on the railways of France as station masters, guards, conductors; porters, carpenters, clerks, platform cleaners, carriage cleaners or engine drivers. On the Orleans system womeq act as station agents, and at unimportant depots .11 wnrtr

The Formula Failed.

Willie had disobeyed again, and his mother had sent for a switch, declaring that she meant to “wear him out.” “Now, Willie,” she demanded very solemnly, “do you know what I’m going to do with this switch?” “Yes’m,” he answered promptly, “you’re going to shake it at nqe and say, ‘Willie Parsons, if you ever do that again I’ll switch you good!’ ” But she didn’t.”—Christian Herald.

Serving a Purpose.

"Doesn’t it make you Indignant for that man next door to come out and that man next door to come out and shout at your boys for disturbing him?” “It used to,” replied the placid woman, “but he doesn’t any more. You have no idea how he amuses the children.” Nicaragua is heavily increasing tariff duties.
