An improved telephone receiver has been put on the market by the use of which it is said that even persons partially deaf can hear over the telephone. The receiver has a trumpet shaped design, with a fluted ear piece, and is so made as to shut out all external noises. It is also claimed for it that it does away with the ear-split-ting cracks which result when central is working to get a party who “doesn’t answer.”

FORTUNE IS SAVED

One Railroad Division Conserves Big Quantity of Coal. ELECTRIFICATION IS CHEAP I Tremendous Supply of Coal and Fuel Oir Unconsumed Because Traips Receive Their Energy From *_ Power Plants. Electrification of railroads as a means of war economy hard to beat by any other method yet devised for saving energy and material was described by an official of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul road. The abolition of locomotives on one division of the coast line of that railroad is shown to have saved enough coal in one year to send a United States torpedo boat destroyer on 2,368 trips about the British isles in the Search for German submarines. Forty-five such destroyers on the coal conserved in the Rocky Mountain division alone could be kept steaming in a constant procession, week in and week out, for the whole year on the circuit about England, Ireland and Scotland. The annual saving on this division is sufficient to send 90 ocean liners of 13,000 tons displacement on the voyage from the United States to France. Yet this conservation ctf fuel is dhly half of that already effected on the electrified divisions, and one-third of what will be accomplished when the Cascade Mountain zone is added to the electrified mileage next year. Great Saving in Fuel.

On the Rocky Mountain division more than 200,000 tons of coal would have been required this year to haul the traffic moving over the continental divide by electricity. On the Missoula division, also electrically operated now, but formerly burning fuel oil, the requirement this year would have been 425,000 barrels of oil. The third saving, to come, when 1 electrification under way is completed in the Cascades, will add 375,000 barrels of fuel oil to the annual conservation. Extensive reductions in passenger train service throughout the United States, aggregating at a recent date 16,267,028 miles of train service, have resulted in the saving of 1,120,000 tons of coal a year. The permanent saving by electrification on the St. Paul’s Rocky Mountain division, disregarding the saving of oil on the Missoula division, is 18 per cent of the total effected by all the railways of the United States through elimination- of train mileage. Big Supply Unconsumed. “A tremendous supply of coal and fuel oil,” said an official of the St. Paul road, 1 “is still unconsumed because our trains have received their energy from power plants instead of from steam locomotives and because the power plants have derived their energy from water power instead of coal or oil. Here are two natural resources of the highest importance actually conserved at a time when they are most essential to the welfare of the nation. “Under present conditions, with the heaviest movement of traffic in history, the St. Paul would have found it necessary to purchase a Targe number of steam locomotives. It takes about the same time to build an electric as a steam locomotive, but when built one electric is approximately the equal in hauling power of three stearh engines. The St. Paul has in operation fortyfour electric locomotives.”

RUSH EQUIPMENT TO FRANCE

Within Twenty Days After Receipt of Order First of Engines and Cars Were Shipped. Within twenty days after the receipt by American manufacturers of designs for special locomotives and cars for the troops in France the first of 680 engines and 6,000 cars were ready for shipment. The mobilization of American manufacture for the war has been one of the most effective demonstrations of American industrial preparedness.

ARMY BATHING TRAIN USED BY GERMANS

"WATER NYMPH" ON WHEELS IN GERMANY.

The difficulty of keeping the German soldiers physically fit through cleanliness was solved by the Bavarian pioneers who evolved this “Water Nymph” on wheels from old discarded railroad stock. Behind the tender of the locomotive is water tank which supplies the bathing cars with water heated by the fires'in the locomotive and pumped into the cars through an automatic contrivance working in conjunction with the locomotive pistons. There are also a number of cars attached to this train utilized by medical officers and their staff who periodically examine the German soldiers who utilize the “baths.” ■

AVOID HOLDING LOADED CARS

Shipperfi Found to Be Abusing Their Diversion Privilege and Wasting Much Car Space. (From the United States Department of Agriculture.) - Shippers who hold loaded cars at yards while deciding on their final destination contribute importantly to tli6 shortage in transportation according to the bureau of markets of the United States departmeht of agriculture. Specialists who studied conditions at the Potomac yards, Virginia, for 30 days last summer, found that 236 cars of perishable commodities were held on the average of 44 hours each by shippers or consignees before issuing orders to move the cars. No car held for less than 24 hours was counted. A car of cabbage was held 78 hours; a car of watermelons, 84 hours; a car of cucumbers, 104 hours; a car of potatoes, 128 hours; and a car of tomatoes, 213 hours. These facts make clear that shippers through these yards are abusing their diversion privilege and are wasting much car space by not keeping their cars moving. The remedy Is to file diversion orders in advance of arrival. As Potomac yards is only one of hundreds of important diversion’ points, the waste, the specialists point out, is significant and without compensating advantage to owners.

LIGHT OUTFIT FOR WORKERS

Repair and .Inspection Crews Supplied With Current From Car’s Storage Batteries. An electrician employed by a railroad in Portland, Me., has devised a very serviceable lighting outfit for use by car inspectors and, repair men, W’hich is supplied with current from storage batteries belonging to the car on which the men are working. Ttje outfit displaces kerosene lamps, formerly used. It includes a lowvoltage bulb set in a reflector mount-

ed on a tripod and connected by a cord with a resistance coil. The latter is connected with the storage batteries, under the floor of the car. • When the charge in the batteries gets low the adjustable contact on the coil is moved along so as to lessen the resistance. Thus, with a diminishing supply of electricity the power of the light can be kept constant by adjusting the coil from time to time. —Popular Mechanics Monthly.

WATERWAYS AGAIN IN FAVOR

By Imposing Increased Burden Upon Railroads War Necessitates More Transportation. Transportation economy throughout the drainage basin of the Mississippi river, which Is served by more than 13,000 iplles of navigable waterways, has passed through two distinct periods, and is now entering a third. First there was the raft, then the temporary barge, and finally the great steamboat, with its extravagance and waste, and the steam towboat and the towed barges. The second period was the advent of the railroad, which finally monopolized the valley transportation business, and starved the boats Into the junk pile. Then came the war. By imposing an increased burden upon the railroads, the war has necessitated the use of additional means of transportation. The third period, which Is just beginning, is a return to the use of the waterways, and the movement of commerce along north and south trade channels of least resistance.

No More Light Cooking.

A socket for electric lamps has been put on the market which makes it Impossible to steal electric light bulbs or to use the socket for any purpose which the owner does not Intend. The new sockets will be a blow to those who live in furnished rooms and secrete an electric toasted oc-an electric Iron in the bottom of th£ir trunks to use when the landlady Is asleep. The safety socket is so made that you can screw in any lamp or attachment plug, but once in, it cannot be removed. The socket only works one way.

Easy to Rid Home of Rats and Mice Thera Is no need of suffering from the depredations of rats and mice now that Steams’ Paste is readily obtainable at nearly every store. A small box of this effective exterminator costs only 35 cents and is usually sufficient to cctmpletely rid the house, store or barn of rats and mice. The U. S. Government has bought thousands of pounds of Stearns’ Paste for use in cities where rats and mice are plentiful. The Paste is also efficient in destroying cockroaches and waterbugs. Adv.

Lacustral Settlements.

The lacustral settlements were places of refuge for a pastoral, and agricultural people, and the light and dryness that characterized the dwellings show a step in advance toward more permanent abodes. In this period science places the beginning of civilization. By these lacustrine men spinning and weaving were invented. Agriculture was born among them; animals were domesticated —the ox, the cow, the sheep, the goat, the dog. The uses of metal were discovered, and the age of iron was ushered In. Habitations similar to these still exist tn the East Indies, and among the Amazonian tribes of Maracalbd. They existed also in Lake Prasias, In Thrace, during the time of Herodotus, the Greek historian.

Useful Parrot.

Uncaged and unattended, a parrot perches throughout the day on a chair outside of a store in Seattle, Wash., and advertises the wares to be purchased therein to all passersby. During the,, summer time he is particularly useful, his owner having taught him to make this announcement: “Ice cream cones —five cents. Right inside.” The appearance of a pedestrian in the vicinity of the store is a signal for the bird to repeat his announcement. The parrot has proven a great advertising card and has greatly boosted the business of the store to the advantage of the owner.

Welcoming the Actor.

A well-known society performer volunteered ,to entertain a roomful of patients of a lunatic asylum, and made up a very successful little monologue show, entirely humorous. The audience in the main gave symptoms of being slightly bored, but one high-, ly intelligent maniac saw the whole thing in proper light and, clapping the talented actor on the shoulder, said: “Glad you’ve come, old fellow. You and I will get along fine. The other dippies here are ? so dashed dignified. What I say is if a man is mad he put on airs about it!”—London Opinion.

OLD PRESCRIPTION FOR WEAK KIDNEYS Have you ever stopped to reason why it is that so many products that are extensively advertised, all at once drop out of sight and are soon forgotten? The reason is plain—the article did not fulfil the promises of the manufacturer. This applies more particularly to a medicine. A medicinal preparation that has real curative value almost sells itself, as like an endless chain system the remedy is recommended by those who have been benefited, to those who are in need of it. A prominent druggist says, “Take for example Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, a preparation I have sold for many years and never hesitate to recommend, for in almost every case it shows excellent results, as many of my customers testify. I No other kidney remedy that I know of has so large a sale.” According to sworn statements and verified testimony of thousands who have used the preparation, the success of Dr. Kilmers’ Swamp-Root is due to the fact' that, so many people claim, it fulfils almost every wish in overcoming kidney, liver and bladder ailments, corrects urinary troubles and neutralizes the uric acid which causes rheumatism. You may receive a sample bottle of Swamp-Root by Parcel Post. Address Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y., and enclose ten cents; also mention this paper.
