IS IT WORTH WHILE?

There is a figure before the American public just now which should niLerest the young men. It is II. B. Ramsey, the president of the Wabash railroad and whom the Goulds is seeking to remove after he has accomplished for tnem results that they were powerless to accomplish for themselves.

His rise in his chosen field of railroading reads like a romance but he himself expresses the reason of his success in a sentence: "Hard work and close attention to details."'

The-public sees Mr. Ramsey no\i? an. exalted captain of industry and seems to imagine that he attained his prominence at a bound, but. like almost all men who win has made his liiij present pi

worthy battle he ay by inches to

ace. He felt it an

honor years ago to be appointed to an inferior position on an obscure railroad. When he received this appointment he made the very best possible use of his time in gaining knowledge that would enable him to better serve his emploj'ers. While •others of his age were running their Wains crazy over sports he was searching for some new thought or idea that would better assist the company in conducting the business of the road. While others rushed away from their work as soon as quitting time came and spent their evenings having a good time in the soloons, in the pool-sooms, and around the gambling tables, he was patiently ploddin searching for something new the railroad business.

along in

The result could be but one. He gradually gathered up and stored away in his brain a fund of knowledge which was destined to be of unbounded value to him in the future and of which .o power in the world could depri ve him.

Steadily the knowledge of his merits as a railroad man crept out into the world among men of large interests in railroading and they began to seek him. He gradually became more and more valuable to the great transjjortation industries of the country and he found himself in demand among the greatest interests. The question of what salary he should receive was a secondary one. The peramant fyquestion was: could he till tbej

knowledge he had gained over railroad books and records alter night became his capital stock trade. This he used to the advantage both to himself and of the railroad world, the result being that he is the minent figure before in railroad circles today.

most prothe public

The rule of success in any legitimate business is unbending and the young man who fits himself to this rule will be the one who will win.

HOTV Thermometers Are Made.

A small glass tube blown into a bulb at one end is partly filled with mercury. The mercury is boiled to expel the air and fill the tube with mercury vapor and then the tube Is hermetically sealed and allowed to cool. The gradations are found as fallows: The instrument is immersed in iwe water and the freezing point is found and is marked. Then it is placed in water, which is allowed to reach the boiling point, and so 212 degrees is found. The spans between are marked by mathe matical calculations.

Monkeys and Knots.

The monkey's intelligence Las never been able to arrive at a point which enables that animal to achieve the untying of a knot. You may tie a monkey with the simplest form of common knot, and unless the beast can break the string or gnaw It in two he will never get loose. To untie the knot requires observation and reasoning power, and, though a monkey may possess both, he has neither in a sufficient degree to enable him to overcome the difficulty.
