the south side bitches, if he had the
proper encouragement from the city
council to go on the search. During

Barton county of which Great Bend
is the capital, "wears the socks" so to
speak, on the wheat crop. Over 200,
600 acres in wheat; with an estimated
yield of 5 600, 900 bushels. With only
$4,000 bushels elevator capacity, the
question is. where will they store their
goods? "Tear down your barns and
build bigger."-Lakin Index.

Another Foolish Trip.

A man by the name of Capt. james
Monahan, who has, for the past twenty
years, followed the sea for living, and
is now a resident of Canarsie, N. Y,
started few days ago to cross the At
lantic ocean in q small cedar boat.
Some time ago Capt. Monshan de.
clsred to some of his friends that he
intended to cross the ocean, and, when
questioned as to how he proposed to
make the journey, surprised them by
answering: "In boat built by my
self. 1t is too expensive to pay for the
trip" The boat is 16 feet long, 2 feet
wide, and is 80, rigged a. to make its
management easy. The small cabin is
covered with canvas, which is intended
to protect the provisions from heavy
sea. There is room enough to carry
food sufficient for 100 days. but the
captain expects to make the journey
in sixty. The wood used in the con-
struction of the boat is entirely cedar.

1t is really wonderful in regard 10
the acuteness to which the human car
may be trained.
AT the meeting OF the locomotive en-
gineers, to be held in Cape May during
August, an interesting paper will be
read by II. H. Dantzer, formerly an
engineer on the Reading railroad, but
now a contractor in West Philadel-
phia. The paper will deal entirely
with the wonderful manner in which
engineers on railroads, steamboats, and
the masters of mammoth machinery
ascertain accurately and instantly
when anything goea-xsong with the
machinery under their control.
Strange as it may seem, the only re.
liable friend of the engineer is a we'll
trained ear. The greater part of Mr..
Dantzer's paper is filled with incidents
relating to railroad work.
Mr.. Dantzer's paper tells OF many
queer incidents of his experience as a
railroad engineer. The master of To-
comotive gets to know his engine as a
mother does her child. In the darkest
night, with the train dashing along at
the rate of 40 miles an hour, the
trained engineer hears slight sound
which is out of the ordinary. He not
only becomes aware OF it by reason of
hearing it, but if he were deaf as post
the disorder would be communicated
to him through the medium of the
throttle. He would feel slight jar
which would indicate as clearly as the
sound that something was out of order,
and, if the occasion warranted, stop
would be made at once or the matter
would be attended to at the next sta
ton.

OF HISTORICAL INTEREST.
What First Suggested the Building of
tho Great Northern to Mr.. Hill.


q" DID you ever hear how Jim Hill
came 10 build the great Northern
road" said a gentleman to Chronicle
reporter lately
The newspaper man giving a mega
tive answer. the pnrty went on with
the story.
Well. IL was back in 81, if my
mem 'ry serves me right. Hill was
then pushing the st. Paul, Minneapo-
lie A Manitoba road up the Red River
oi the north. When G.. A. Broad
water, Of Helena, Mont, secured u
bond on n number Of galena silver
mine, IN the Red Mountain district
about twenty miles west of Helena.
"Nr. Hill, it appears. became inter
estcd in the bond and as the mines
gave promise Of great future value, the
idea ri a railroad to transport the ores
to a smelling center was suggested.
About this time the townsite of Great
Falls, on the Missouri, was laid out,
and desperate efforts were being made
10 boom the place. AS the site pre-
sented many advantages for the es.
tablishing of extensive smelling works,
u was proposed 10 build a line from
the mines via Helena TO Great Falls.
This led up 10 the formation of the
Montana Central Railway company,
with Mr.. Hill behind the enterprise,
although Broadwater WAS president.
The line was located from Helena to
the Red Mountain country and from
Helena to Great Falls with branch to
Marys,illo.
After the contracts for grading,
bridging and delivering OF ties were all
let. Mr.. Hill asked OF the Northern Pa
cihc officials what rate they would
charge 10 haul his rails from Duluth to
Helena. Imagine his surprise when he
WAS told that the cost would be $40
per ton.
"'why, will bring my rails up the
Missouri on steamboats, and haul them
TO Great Falls by wagon said Mr.. Hill.
80 Have you figured on this course?'
asked the Northern Pacific official.
49, No. said Mr.. Hill.
We'll. we have replied the North
ern Pacific man, and il would require
100 steamboats, 10 transport the rails
Tor your Montana central line.'
Finding that he could get no con-
crssions irum the Northern Pacific
people. Mr.. Hill said, Il will turn the
course of my Manitoba line westward,
| will build 10 Great Falls and haul my
own iron. will build TO Helena and
wili parallel the Northern Pacific to
the Pacific coast
How well he has kept his word can
easily he seen. The Great Northern
now not only runs TO Helena but ON to
Butte. The Northern Pacific started
In to parallel every mile Mr.. Hill built
In Montana, and now for miles in
either direction out OF Helena you can
see the two road beds side by side.
The only line Hin ever abandoned,
however, was the short branch up to
Marysville, but the Northern Pacific
soon grew tired OF throwing obstacles
In Mr.. Hills way and guess it keeps
the officials Of that line pretty busy
yet.
what I have stated are facts, but /
may be little off on dates. 1t will be
remembered when Hill decided to
build westward the rapidity with which
he accomplished his ends was unparal-
lcled 10 the history Of railroad building
In the worlds history"

JAPANESE LAcQUERING IN EUROPE
The juice of the lacquer-tree (Rhus
veraiciterO is the natural varnish
upon which depends the famous
lacquer work OF the Japanese. Speci.
mems Of this tree were brought from
Japan sixteen years ago and planted
in the Botanical Garden at Frankfort,
where they have flourished and have
yielded seeds from which thrifty young
tree have sprung. This place now has
thirty-four healthy trees thirty feet
high. To determine whether the juice
is affected by its changed conditions.
Prof. Rein has sent samples to Japa-
nese artists for trial, and is having
comparative analyses made by emf
nent chemists. If the reports are fa-
vorable, it is expected that the lacquer
tree will be quite extensively planted
in Germany, and that Europeans will
be instructed in the lacquering of
wood by some worker from Japan.
WEIGHT OF LIGHT.-Prof. Oliver ].
Lodge calculates that the impact of
light waves from the sun produces a
pressure on the moons surface of
about 1000 tons. In total eclipse of
the moon this force is withdrawn, but
since the total attraction of the sun
on the moon is to be estimated in mil
lions of tons, this slight apparent
diminution gives no appreciate effect.
Upon very small body, however, the
pressure of solar light might be equal
to, or even greater than, the attrac.
tion of gravitation. Such body need
not be infinitely minute, but of a size
comparable with that of grain of
dust. 1t is conceivable that the
dropping off of comets tails on their
approach to the sun is due to this &C
ton.
REMAINS OF BIRD GIANTs.-Bones re-
Gently found in New Zealand are esti-
mated to represent 500 specimens of
the moa. This immense wingless bird,
now extinct, seems to have been
hunted and eaten by the early in
habitants of New Zealand, and is be-
lieved to have stood at least ten feet
high. Madagascar had another giant
wingless bird, whose eggs-10 or II
inches in diameter, three times the
size OF those OF the ostrich-have been
discovered.
