Who CAN EXPLAIN ?-The "creeping'' of
railroads has attracted some attention of late.
and while we do not attempt to explain it, we
offer point on the fact that on lines running
North and South the Western rail s'creepsS
faster than the Eastern rail: that is, this
strange movement of the rail toward the
South is more marked in one rail than in the
other on the same track. Furthermore, it has
been noticed that on such line the Eastern
rail wears out the fastest. Both of these
points, we think, en- be explained by the mo-
ton of the earth as it turns from the West
toward the East. Everything that has free
motion is dragged after the whirling globe;
every wind that blows, and every tide that
moves feels the inf aence, and our train going
North or South is pulled over toward the
East, and naturally pr esses the Eastern rail
most heavily. The Western rail, being re-
lieved of its share of weight, "creeps'' more
frequently and quickly. 1t also noticedthat
the wheels that run on the Eastern rail wear
out the fastest, aud we but think that the
earth motion is the true cause. The practi-
cal side of this Is, that the Eastern rail and
wheels should he stronger.-ScientUfc Amer

[rrom Travels on Horseback.1
A Lesson from a Heathen Chinep.

The FooT OF A HoRsE.-The human
hand has often been taken to illustrate Divine
wis1om-and very well. But have you ever
examined your horses boot? 1: is hardly less
curious in its way. Its parts are somewhat
less complicated, yet their design is simple
and obvious, The hoof is not, as it appea 70
to the careless eve, a mere lump OF insensbe
bone, fastened to the leg by joint. /, is
made up of a series Of thin layers, or leaves,
of horn, about 500 in number, and nicely
fitted to each other, and forming filling to
the foot itself. Then there are as many more
layers, belonging to what is called the ''coffin-
bone," and fitted into this. These are elas-
tic. Take quire of paper and insert the
leaves one by one into those of another quire,
and you will get some idea of the arrange
ment OF the several ayers. Now, the weight
of the horse rests on as many elastic springs
as there are layers in his four feet-about A.
900; and all this is contrived, not only foI the
conveyance of his own body, but for whatev-
er burdens may be laid on him.-Rural Home.

L.. Belle Tannery.

By our Old Employee.
This Is the second largest tannery in
this section Of the State, and 10 owned
by Wheat & Sons. It's located on the
corner Of Chspline and 3lst streets, hav.
airontage Of 1ls leet on the former and
8Giftet on the latter, and was built in
1859.
James NJ. Wheat, a tanner by trade,
came 10 Wheeling in 1888, with capital
OF $4,000. and engaged in the manufac-
ture Of glass in the old green window
glass factory which used 10 stand on the
sitenow occupied by the Fourth Ward
school. house, in East Wheeling. Being
inexperienced 10 that business, the only
result Of the enterprise was the entlr' loss
Of his investment. Els last dollar was
spent on one Of the great Wing celebra-
tions in 1910. Mr.. Wheat then fell back
on his skilled labor, and commenced the
tanning business In q small frame build
Ing, a part OF which yet stands on the
corner one square below the present 10.
cation. He started with ten, watts and a
capital Of 500, all told. The product
of his first years business was
about $120. At that time there
were mono Of the facilities now In
use for Fastening the process Of tanning,
and everything dragged It's slow length
through tho accustomed routine which
had.characterized the business for perhaps
q century. Consequently there was none
Of that energy Of action with which tho
introduction Of steam has vitalized the
process. Aided by his sons, however,
Mr.. Wheat continued the business with o
degree Of success which made money
slowly but surely. This was the first
tAuuery in this section Of country where
steam was introduced as an actiHe agent
In Tightening the labor and facilitating the
progress Of the business. In 1863 the

was built. II d three stories high and
