Sore corns, hard corns, soft corns or any kind of a corn can shortly be lifted right out with the fingers if you will apply on the corn a few drops of freezoqe, says a Cincinnati authority. At little cost one can get a small bottle of freezone at any drug store, which will positively rid one’s feet of every corn or callus without pain or soreness or the danger of infection.

FIRELESS STEAM LOCOMOTIVE FOR SAFETY

In the yards of a wood-preserving plant at Orrville, 0., a flreless steam locomotive is employed as a safeguard against conflagrations. The engine Is Interesting not only because It is of unfamiliar type, but on account of. the fact that one of the first of Its kind was the subject of much speculation a few years ago when displayed at an Italian exposition. At that time its practicability had yet to be proved. Tlie locomotive does not generate the steam It uses, for Its main part consists of a large cylinder—instead of a

WANTS MORE ROAD

New Chinese Government Wants to Make Improvements. NEEDWO.OOOMILESOFROAD Authorities Shooting Far Beyond That Mark and Propose Eventual Construction of 300,000 MilesAmerica Interested. The transportation fever has struck China. The Chinese want more railroads, and it looks as if they were going to be obliged, for their new government agrees with them and has started upon the task with a vim that promises early results. A writer in Asia, a new magazine issued by the American Asiatic association, says that it is estimated that 100,000 miles of road would solve for the time being the carrying problem of the republic, but that the governmental authorities are shooting far beyond that mark and propose the eventual - construction of 300,000 miles. This situation is especially interesting to American business men, since a part of the necessary capital will be furnished here and a share of the actual building will also be done by Americans.-- All* this is indicative not only of the new spirit In China, but also of the growing cordiality between the two countries. At the present time China has only six thousand-odd miles of railroad to accommodate a population of more than 400,000.000. This is paucity indeed when the figures for the United States are considered. Here with 100,000,000 inhabitants there are 250,000 of road and even at that complaints that we are falling behind in construction are frequently heard. It is not to be assumed, Asia points out, that China’s necessities are to be satisfied at once. Indeed, it may be ten years before she is able to add more than 10,000 miles, but a building program is being arranged that provides definitely for the projection of new lines into industrial sections which hove hitherto been neglected, and for immediate relief in cases where congestion is now so great as to Interfere with the industrial life of the country. Just how much the Chinese plans mean in a financial way to the United States is shown by the estimate that 100,000 miles of railroad will cost $2,000,000,000, a great part of which will be raised by American capitalists. China at present makes scarcely any of the materials for construction, but her natural resources are so great that eventually she will be able to produce all the equipment that is necessary.

NOW USE AUTOMATIC DEVICE

Air and Car Coupler Simplifies Matter of Coupling and Uncoupling Cars—Prevents Accidents. The Pittsburgh railroads are making use of g new form of automatic air and car coupler which not only simplifies the mutter of coupling and uncoupling ears, but obviates the necessity of a man standing between the cars In order to perform this operation. In order to insure the com-, fort of the riders It is necessary that the coupling between street cars should be very rigid, and it has been heretofore found difficult to obtain this rigidity In a piece of mechanism designed to stand the hard usage which couplers ure subjected to. The present device Is so carefully machined as to insure a perfectly rigid connection when coupled together, this being made possible by means of suitable joints behind the heads to provide the necessary vertical Mnd lateral movement In spite of the neatness of the fit of these parts the couplers will properly come together and lock, though they be as much as three .inches out of alignment, and-they are sufficiently flexible ts operate where the car levels may vary as much as ,-en Inches.—Scientific American. ,

TO CHANGE RAILROAD GAUGE

Japanese Roads Are Found to Be Sadly Behind the Times—Movement on Foot to Rebuild. When the railroads of Japan were .first planned,—the—■narrow--gauge—of 3 feet 6 inches was selected for them, because it was the cheapest to build and equip and was thought best suited to the country’s narrow highways and steep grades. Now the 6,000 miles of Japanese railroads, all of narrow gauge, are found to be sadly behind the times, and a movement is on foot to rebuild them to standard gauge, although the cost is estimated at nearly $450,000,000. At present the trains are slow, the fastest expresses making less than 30 miles an hour, the coaches are low and narrow, and the sleeping cars are cramped and inconvenient; while most of the railroad inventions of other nations cannot be used because of the difference in track gauge and size of cars. The director of the imperial railroads favors the change, in spite of the cost, and estimates that the main Tokaido line could be converted to broad gauge in 12 years.—Popular Mechanics.

CURIOUS BRIDGE ON BORDER

Queer Ramshackle Trestle, Built as Substitute for Structure Washed Away by Floods. Crossing the boundary line between the United States and Mexico, at Tia Juana, there is a queer ramshackle bridge, built as a temporary substitute for a structure that was washed away by the floods a year ago. It bridges an arroyo and is simply a double trestle, with open space in the center, but serves all kinds of traffic, including

Unique Mexican Bridge.

the trains of a Mexican railroad, automobiles, pedestrians, horsemen, and even herds of cattle and flocks of sheep. Each trestle carries one of the rails of thb railroad track, the construction being such that trains and automobiles straddle the open space when crossing, and all other traffic must get off the bridge. The structure is 400 feet long and has a safety platform for pedestrians built out on each side near the center.—Popular Mechanics. •

LOST ENERGY IS CONSERVED

In Going Down Hill Electricity Is Generated by Reversing Motor on Certain Western Road. A western railroad in its newly electrified line over the Rockies not only utilizes tW ordinarily lost in holding back trains, but on the numerous down grades actually generates power that can be used to help pull other trains up. It does It by applying the principle that a motor when reversed becomes a generator. The locomotives are so constructed that on reaching the top of a grade the em gineer can brake his train down grade by reversing the air brakes for an emergency. Reversing the motor in the locomotive transforms it at once into a dynamo flrat is run by the weight of the train as it descends the grade. Virtually file same amount of "electricity is generated that the motor would consume in pulling the same load up-grade. The current is fed into the overhead trolley wire and so is added to its store of energy. ;

Kidney & Co.

(BY DR. J. H. WATSON)

The kidneys and the skin work in harmony. They’re companions, the' akin being the second partner. If we are anxious to keep well and preserve the vitality of the kidneys and, also, free the blood from noxious elements, we must pay special attention to a good action of the skin and to see that the kidneys are flushed so as to eliminate the poisons from the blood. Sweating, by hard work or in a bath, at least once a w*eek, helps to keep the skin and kidneys in good condition. Flush the kidneys by drinking plenty of pure water with meals and between meals. Occasionally obtain at the drug store Anuric, - double strength, which will help flush the kidneys and the intestines. You will find that Anuric Is many times more active than llthia and that it dissolves uric acid as hot water does sugar.

Breaking a Horse. A North Vernon citizen living at the outskirts of the city makes a specialty of raising fine horses, especially of the roce horse breed. The man’s son, a youngster of nine years, was greatly delighted when his father brought home a wooden riding horse. Sometime afterward the boy got an ax and broke the newly acquired toy. He was reproved by his mother, who was silenced by the boy’s remark: “Papa told me the other day that a horse was no good unless It was broke.” —Indianapolis Star.
