BY RAIL ON PRAiRiES.
In the Old Days Engineers Had TO Plow
= Their Way Through Bufiaioes-


- Their Way Through Bufaloes-
Many strange story the locomotive
engineers tell of their experience with
animals ON the prairies of the far West
Between the Missouri river and the
Rocky mountains are the great plains,
spreading out for hundreds of miles.
Probably in no part of the country do
engineers come more in contact with
animal life. They have taken the place
of the old jehus of the overland mail
and express in the more modern days OF
rapid transportation.
Often the old stages were in great
danger from the great herds of stamped
ing buffalo. The driver, express agent
and passengers, all of whom were we'll
armed, only found safety in the sharp
crack, crack of the rife. This would
either turn the buffalo, rushing with
almost the roar of thunder over the
plains, or would split the herd, SO that
it would pass in two droves on either
side of the stage.
1t required men of nerve, for some
times the buffalo would hardly swerve
from their course until almost upon the
stage and passengers. The rear of the
herd, crowding and urging on the
leaders, made it a difficult task, test
ing the courage of the men who faced
them.
The buffalo, or bison, more correctly
named, still roamed the plains after the
railroads came. The old engineers of
the Union Pacific, Kansas Pacific and
the Santa Fe used to cut their way
through the herds of buffalo. The
blow of the whistle and the discharge of
firearms would make them scamper
away.
Sometimes they would blockade
train, but often raced with the locomo-
tive, giving the passengers An easy
chance to slaughter them. Trains
were also stopped to give passengers a
chance to kill them. The racing OF the
locomotive with the wild horse and the
buffalo is thing of the past The buff
falo is almost extinct, and the wild
horse is rarely found Roping the wild
horse used TO be rare sport and indus
try. A few are still saidto roam the
Laramie plains and remote sections of
country.
But notwithstanding tlIese changes,
there is still much OF interest to the
engineer, as well as to guard against,

Phenomenon.
One of the most remarkable legends
of the sea is due to an atmospheric
popularity in the vicinity of the Cape of
Good Hope. The air in that region has
the extraordinary power of unequal re-
fraction, similar to that known TO exist
on the boundless prairies of Kansas,
Nebraska and the DakotaS On the
great waste of waters which surround
Good Hope the phenomenon appears in
she shape of spectral looming, or appar-
ent suspensions in the air. of ships
which are so far away that they cannot
be seen on the surface of the water.
Thesephantom-like ships suspended in
mid air nave given rise to the weird lo-
gend of the Flying Dutchman" Ac-
