UNCLE SANS ROAD.
A Military Highway Used by Early Wes
S,.iilers.

A Military Highway Used by Early West
ern Settlers.
This military road was constructed
by the United States Government to
connect the military posts of the far
West with one another. beginning at
Fort Leavenworth, on the Missouri
river, it passed through Fort Riley at
the junction of the Jerks of the Kaw.
and then, still keeping up the north
side of the Republican fork, went on to
Fort Kearncy. still farther west then
to Fort Laramie, which in those days
was so far on the frontier of our coun-
try that few people ever saw it except
military men and the emigrants to Cali
fornia. At the time of which | am writ
ing, there had been Il very heavy emf
grafton to California. and companies of
emigrants, bound to the Golden Land,
still occasionally passed along the great
military road.
Interlacing this highway were in
Vulnerable trails and wagon-traclSs, the
traces of the great migration to the FL
dorado of the Pacific; and here and
there were the narrow trails made by
Indians on their hunting expeditions
and warlikc excursions. Roads. such as
our cmigrants have been accustomed to
in Illinois. there were none. First came
the faint traces of human feet and Of
unshod horses and ponies; then the
well-defined trail OF hunters, trappers
and Indians: then the wagon-track Of
the military trains, which. in course Of
time, were smoothed and formed into
the military road kept in repair by the
United States Government. - Noah

GREAT EXPLOSION.


Ammonia Used I'm Artificial Ice Explodes at
Chicago-Damage Very Heavy.
CHICAGO, Jan. 30.-An explosion Of
anhydrous ammonia or ammonia gas
used in the ice machines of the West
crn Refrigerating Company, ut 227 to
23l Michigan street, at 1905 o'clock this
morning caused great loss of property
and came near resulting in the death of
three men. The occupants of the build
ing at the time were Robert Hawlcy,
the fireman; Joseph Breault, engineer,
and George Hendricks. All three were
in the engine room.
Fireman Tom Casey, of truck No. 6,
fell through hatchway from tho Sec
end story to the floor below and was
seriously if not fatally injured. He
was taken out unconscious and con-
vcyed to Alexis Brothers Hospital He
received an ugly cash in his right side
and was internally hurt
The loss on the building and contents
is estimated ut from s175. 600 to 500, 900.
partially insured. Neither f. p. Baker
nor II. w. Griswold, the secretary and
president, could be seen. The esti-
mated loss is as follows: Machinery,
100000; goods in store. $50. 900; build
ing, $40, 900. It is safe to say that this
is conservative estimate, and that the
loss will run over 500, 600.

THE HORSEPOWER UNIT.
A False Impression Which Originated
wit JAMES Watt.

A False Impression Which Originated
vita JAMES Watt.
When men first begin to become
familiar with the methods of measur-
ing mechanical power they often specu-
be found that can keep at work raising
$4,000 pounds one foot per minute, or
the equivalent. which is more familiar
to some mechanics, of raising $50
pounds 100 feet per minute. Since 49,
900 pounds raised one foot per minute
is called one-horse power, it is natural
that people should think the engineers
ment based it on what horses could
really do.
But the horse that can do this work
does not exist. The horse power unit
was established by James Watt about a
century ago. ard the figures were fixed
in curious way. Watt found that the
average horse of his district could raise
1000 pounds one foot per minute. This,
then, was an actual horse power.
At that time Watt was employed in
the manufacture of eng zines. and Gus
toners Were 50 hard to find that all
kinds of artificial inducements were
necessary to induce power users to buy
steam engines As a method OF encour-
aging them Watt offered to sell.cn
gines reckoning $1,000 foot pounds to 4
horse power. And thus he was the
means of giving false unit to one of
the most important measurements in
the WORLDLY. Y. Times.
