One of the greatest educational projects of modern times is tlx: "Service-Progress Special” of the New York Central lines which is *o move over all lines of that system in Indiana. It is a railroad museum, having with it the De Witt Clinton train of 1831, the first New York Central Lines train. Engine "999,” the Wart her Working Engine Models, several cars of unique exhibits and moving pictures. This big Special started on its 12,000 mile tour of the New York Central Lines f rom Cleveland on June 18th. Its first stop in Indiana will be at Angola, Steuben County, Sept. 15. Thousands have visited the train in New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Michigan. Portraying railroad development and the reiation of the railroad to agriculture and industry, the Special teems with entertaining and instructive exhibits both modern and ancient, every phase of railroading being demonstrated. By the end of October the "Ser-vice-Progress Special” will have toured 12.000 miles of the New York Central Lines System. The train is being operated upon requests made to President A. H. Smith, of the New York Central Lines, by Master S. J. Lowell, of the National Grange and President O. E. Bradfute, of the American Farm Bureau Federation, that authentic facts on transportation be placed before the agricultural population of the United States.

cussing questions of railroad policy openly and frankly with the public, acquiesced and at once ordered the Agricultural Department of the New York Central Lines to organize the "Service - Progress Special.” One feature to make the “Special” the greatest railroad exhibition train ever operated is five reels of moving pictures illustrating the interdependence of the railroads and the farmers. These pictures are from scenarios written by Charles , Frederick Carter, author of "When Railroads Were New.” They show the handling of farm products and will be thrown on a large screen at night stops. Locomotive engineers, and railroad officials who have seen the Warther Working Engine Models, which are hand-made of wood, ivory and bone and which form an important part of the motive power exhibit. have pronounced these models to be the greatest miniature engines ever made. These models are the product of 20 years’ work on the part of Ernest Warther, of Dover, Ohio, who is now with the train to explain his work, and are on public exhibition for the first time. One coach is all devoted to exhibits showing the relation of agriculture and railroading. Not the least interesting of the exhibits is one special car devoted to the increased cost of Federal, State and local government in this country. This exhibit is called "Mrs. Jarley’s Tax Works,” in which the growth of taxation is portrayed by models and posters.

HumanHairMadelntoCloth Resists Heavy Pressure Tons of human hair are being turned into cloth by a southern factory to supply the demand of cotton-seed oil mills >f that section for a fabric that will withstand, for a time at least, a pressure of 4,000 to 4,500 pounds a square rich. Only that made from hair is strong enough. Formerly it was woven ‘rom camel’s hair, but the price of that product went to such high levels as to prohibit its use. After a series of tests, a method was devised for weaving Hunan hair in specially constructed machines. The search for a sufficient supply to keep the factory going ended in China, where buyers found a veritable army of coolies ready to sacrifice their long queues for American money. Hound in huge bales, the hair arrives at the factory ready for weaving, having already been inspected and sterilized on the way over from the Orient. Combed and carded, it is twisted into threads and fed into the looms, where it is woven into rolls of cloth inch thick, the bolt weighing 400 pounds. * ’ •; ’ Mule, as Caddie, Carries Bags ofGolfers Because of lack of caddies, a mule is being used on one golf course in the South to carry the bags of the players. One of the mule’s advantages over the human caddie is the fact that he can carry as many bags as can be strapped on his back. Then, too he works without tips or pay. * * <J Weighing 20^ carats, a diamond of a rich brandy shade, has been found in an African mine.

of various fish such as salmon, codfish, pollock j and haddock. , A device similar to a bachelor button of aluminum is

riveted into the fish’s tail. With this system the oceanic migration of fish, their rate of growth in various localities, and age can be determined. The bureau pays 25 cents each for tags sent in if accompanied by place and date of capture, length, weight and sex of fish, and how marked. ♦* • 1 Sick Cured With War Gases Deadly gases developed during the war are now being used to cure disease. Grip, colds, and the “flu’’ are quicklychecked by chlorine gas, say army chemists. Mustard gas is being used to । combat tuberculosis, while paresis, and < other diseases, are being treated with • som§ success with “lewisite,” a gas of 1 arsenic and acetylene.

the wheel, does away with blinding glare of ordinary highpowered headlights that freouent1y annoy those driving

at night. Its shaft of light, thrown for 300 feet, is low enough to avoid the eyes of approaching motorists and cyclists, and clearly shows the road from both directions, preventing many accidents and making dimming unnecessary-.

The iron tank shown in the foreground is placed at one end of the concrete watering trough, and can be filled with water from the pipe that supplies the trough. The tankage, shorts, or other ground feeds are mixed in the tank and enough water run in to make a thin slop. Then the valve indicated _y_l. q. by the arrow is opened, and one of the troughs filled, whereupon the valve is closed again, the pipe swung over to the other trough, and this one filled. The Valve and taqk, and the inner ends of the troughs, an- fenced in as shown, so that the hogs will not interfere w ith the filling operation. <7*7 ~ a
