A practical railroad engineer of extensive observation and experience writes, in answer to the question whether frost weakens rails, that, contrary to what is commonly held in regard to this point, a low temperature does not decrease the strength of rails, though ac- cidents are more likely to occur from broken rails in cold weather. The reason given for this latter fact is that the ground, when frozen solid, is rigid, losing the elasticity which acts as safeguard in fine weather, and thus, when @ train runs on such road bed, something must yield, and as the rail is the weak point it gives way. Extended expert ments, says the writer, have been made with testing machines on steel and iron rails, the results of which show that the cold does not weaken the metal at all; the frost is also likely to diminish the safety of bridges by causing the metal to contract and produce an unequal strain on the trusses, etc.

The Jamaica ginger drunkard is making himself conspicuous in the South. In the sparsely settled regions of the South liquor is sold, if at all, in the general stores," and these will not take the risk of losing their general trade by selling liquors surreptitious ly when public sentiment has decided in fa- vor of prohibition. But they can sell Jamaica ginger, and the thirsty toper can become fairly drunk on a half-pint bottle of this mixture of alcohol and essence of ginger. In view of the use of Jamaica ginger ss an in- toxicating beverage the town officers of Daw- sonvifle, Georgia, have passed an ordinance prohibiting the sale of that tipple within the town limits.

the entire structure fell as if crushed by

OF indescribable horror. Men, women
and children were imprisoned or
crushed under the heap of debris and
were screaming piteously for release,
The immense crowd present, estimated
at 1000. worked heroically in tearing
away the wreck, and soon all the woun-
ded and imprisoned were released
