surfaces joined at an acute angle slop-
ing up at an angle of forty-fiye degrees
from horizontal plate of steel at right
angles to and two inches above the rail.
The pillow is constructed Of heavy iron
and massive timbers. 1t is the width of
a car and the top is on a level with the
bottom of the headlight. It is bolted
on the front of the engine where the
pilot is usually carried.
In light snow one engine is sent out
with the plow, again two, three. or even
five engines are coupled together, &C
cording to the depth and extent Of the
drifts to be encountered. The push
pillow simply pushes the snow to the
sides of the road. The engine or en-
gines are always run at their highest
speed, for their weight and momentum
are depended on entirely to carry them
through. If they were to run slowly
they would stick in the drifts and would
have to be shoveled out. 1t is perilous
business, for the snow packs SO hard out
on the great prairies of Kansas, Ne
braska, Minnesota and Dakota that it
often throws the pillow from the track,
particularly if it is side drift, with the
snow deeper on one rail than on the
other. Sometimes the plow slides up

throwing the engine in the ditch. Hard
ships, as well as danger, are connected
with snow bucking. When running fine
snow Sits in through the crevices in
the cab, and, falling on the boAer-head,
melts, filling the cab with steam. The
clothes of the engineer and fireman are
soon wet through, and they continue in
that condition until their trip is finished.
The cold air comes in through the same
places that the snow does, so the men
are not only wet but cold. The engi-
neer is under great and constant
strain to keep his engine up to it's maxi
mum capacity and watching the road.
The fireman has no easier time than the
engineer, for the coal soon gets SO full
of snow that only the most expert fire
man can keep steam up to serviceable
pressure. Sometime an engineer and
fireman are out from fifJysix to seven
ty-two hours on snow-plow without a
moments rest and perhaps but two or
three meals during that time.
AS an example of what engine-men
are sometimes called upon to endure,
take the case of an engineer on the
Northern Pacific, who was sent with
pillow west from Brainerd in the
midst of a blizzard eight years ago to
keep the road open. He was to be fol-
lowed by other plows at intervals of a
couple of hours. The officials hoped,
in this way, to prevent blockade. This
engineer, after proceeding fifty miles,
stuck in drift It was so stormy that
he could not see the length of his en-
CINE. He had big tank of coal, but

An Absent-Minded Man.

Johns Hopkins University still Cos
sips of Prof. Sylvester, the marvellous
mathematician who came over from
England to teach the science in which
all his interests centered. His mind
was ever occupied with mathematical
problems, and all sorts of things hap
pened to him on the streets Of Ralti-
more. The mosJ amusing episode of
his life on this side, however, grew
out of a voyage to Europe. While
abroad he made some highly impor-
tant calculations, but on reaching
Baltimore he found that the paper on
which he figured was missing. So
important were the calculations that
he took a steamer back to England in
order to look up the papers. He did
not find them, and started back to
the United States deeply disappoint-
ed; but during the voyage he acct
dentally discovered, in pocket of the
overcoat he had worn on the previous
voyage, the very thing he was in
search of.

the way, and "hanges every foot of
road. Hanging is cleaning out the
snow between and below the level of
the rails.
The rotary has been introduced on a
large number of the important lines be-
tween the Atlantic and Pacific coasts.
Thousands OF miles of track have been
cleared by it without the loss of single
life, it is claimed, or the wrecking of a
single engine. Compared with the long
lists of costly wrecks and numerous
fatalities by the old methods of snow
bucking this is something remarkable.
The rotary is also in use on the German
and Russian Government lines.
Another pillow built and operated on
the same prin ciple as the Leslie rotary
snow plow is the JUL centrifugal snow
excavator. Instead of a fat wheel made
up of cone-shaped scoops as in the Les
lie pillow the JUL pillow removes the snow
by means of a great auger with the
point directed down. 1t is operated in
precisely the same way as the other.

until the train is found. The railroad
men being familiar with the bad por-
tions of the road, are able to MAKE a
pretty good guess as to where the lost
train will be found. Upon reaching it
the section men are ordered out to
shovel the snow away frem the wheels,
the snow-plow couples on to the rear
car and assists the engine hauling the
train to back out of the drift. Then
snow pillow and train back up to the
station, so as to permit the train to
sidetrack and let the pillow take the lead
to clear the track. Or perhaps the re-
lief train may be sent from the opposite
direction-that is, meeting the snow
bound train. 1t depends upon which
way the train can be reached the most
readily. When all trains are safe every
body simply waits until the storm
abates. Then comes snow bucking."
Railroads within 800 miles of Chicago,
according to the Tribune, have but little
SNOW bucking" to do.
Old engineers on the Northwestern
tell of times, when Chicago was some
what smaller than now, when they had
as hard battles with the drifts as any
road west of the Missouri. One tale is
told of a passenger train that ran into a
snowdrift on "Buckhorn" Hill, few
miles south of Milwaukee, and stuck
there twenty-four hours before it was
shoveled out. The engine was buried
completely except q small hole over the
smoke stack melted out by smoke and
gases.

Where Tact Was Needed.

A distinguished foreigner visiting
our shores, on meeting an American
author of some distinction, blandly
asked him if he had ever written any
thing. Here was a stab to admins
ter to a mans vanity! A woman
would never have made blunder of
that sort; she would have found out
all about the writer's books before
she met him, and made some clever
reference to them before she had
been five minutes in his company. 1t
is hard to imagine a situation from
which a woman's tact will not ex-
tricate her. An amusing story is told
in this connection by Well-knOwn
authoress: While in Trouville, [ met
a young American and his wife. l
knew the latter quite well. In fact,
she had been a seamstress for me,
and the man she married was one of
Philadelphia's Hundred and Fifty.
She was clever, pretty, well educated,
and an improvement in her fortunes
enabled her to meet her husband in
the regular way. He married her,
but was not aware OF the social posi-
tion she had formerly occupied. j
met them on the promenade and
could hardly disguise my surprise;
but her tact came to the rescue and
saved us all from an awkward posi-
tion. Here is what she said to me,
even before I had a chance to catch
my breath: Il am SO glad to see
you! We need no introduction. What
a delightful time / mad at you house
in New York the last time you were
so good as to entertain me! We
would like to stay and talk with you,
but have a pressing engagement, !"
and with this my friends pretty wife
grasped her husbands arm and pulled
him away. While the whole pro-
ceeding may be looked upon as one in
which assurance played it's part, the
wife displayed tact that to me was
charming. She was quite good enough
for her husband, and knew it, but
was afraid that in an unguarded mo-
ment I might say something that
would give him an idea of the state
affairs before she had the opportunity
to enlighten him. That man will
have happy domestic life, for no
where is tact more indispensable than
in the home.

Selecting a Title.

From first to last Dickens did his
work conscientiously, and the selec-
ton of titles was matter of grave
anxiety to him, many being rejected
before one was chosen. The familiar
name of Chuzzlewit, Howard Paul
tells us, went through curious pro-
cess of evolution. First it was
Sweezleden, then Sweezlebuck, then
Sweezleway. None of these would
do. The Sweezle then became
Chuzzle, and there was a new series
of Chuzzletoe, Chuzzleboy, Chuzzle-
wig, and finally Chuzzlewit. For
lizard Times" nineteen or twenty
titles were rejected. Here are some
of them: Heads and Tails" 1.-TWO
and Two are Four" "Our Hard
Hearted Friend" crust and Dust, "
"a Mere Question of Figures" "Mr
Gradgrind's Facts, ""Black ndWhite.
David Copperfield" was especially
troublesome. Even after he had
fixed upon the hero's name it took
him some time to arrange the exact
form of the title. During sojourn
in Genoa Dickens was pulling his
brain to find a title for one of his
Christmas tales, when the city bells
rang out peal of chimes. He was
in a nervous, excited state, and the
noise of the bells agitated him. But
they gave him the title he was seek
ing, and he called the book ".The
Chimes" Another novel for which
he found it difficult to decide upon a
name was "Bleak House" We might
have known it under any of the fol-
lowing titles: "The Solitary House
that was Always Shut Up" "The
East Wind" "The Ruined Mill that
Got Into Chancery and Never Got
Out, 1.-The Solitary House Where the
Grasses Grew" No doubt Dickens
invented some of the names of his
characters, but many of the most
remarkable were borrowed from signs
that met his view in his journeys. /
imagined that Chadband was made
name-it fits the character to whom
the author applied it SO exactly; but
it was the name Of either a baker or
a grocer on the outskirts of the town
of Warwick. JUL was the name of
a confectioner; Pickwick that Of a
Job master at Bath. In later life the
novelist collected and stored up
names for future use, making use of
such sources as directories and the
small towns in railway guides.

the water was low, so he and the fire.
man took turns shoveling snow into the
tank, where it was melted by the
"heater THAT is a small pipe to con-
vey steam from the boiler to the tank,
to prevent the water freezing. The
storm lasted fifty-six hours. All the
men had to eat during that time was
one small lunch. When the wind went
down, they found they were near a
farmhouse. There they procured food
until relief came twenty-four hours
later. The engineer was the only one
of thirteen caught out on the road in
that storm who kept his engine alive. !"
Five engine-men were frozen to death.
If the snow is very deep the pillow is
followed by drag out" and gang of
200 or 800 shovelers. A "drag-out" is
another engine to pull the pillow engine
out of drift when it gets stuck. On
coming to deep cut the pillow stops
while the shovelers are brought up to
break" the snow. This is done by dig
ging trenches across the track at a dis
lance of 100 feet, more or less, so that
the pillow may not have solid mass of
snow to encounter. Then the pillow en-
CINE backs up for mile and half and
makes run for the cut. By the time
it strikes the drift it is going sixty miles
an hour. The shock is terrific. Often
the pillow buries itself completely and
comes TO full stop in going 400 feet.
The conclusion throws a ton or SO of
coal from the tank forward upon the
deck of the engine. Sometimes it
breaks the machinery so as to disable
the engine totally-as the engineer
would put it-"she strips herself. Then
the shovalers come up and dig the snow
away, and if the engine is all right the
process is repeated until that cut is
clear. It used to be Il process Of days
to clear division with push
plows and shovelers. Each succeeding
storm made matters worse, for the snow
was simply pushed aside, not thrown
out of the way. By the close of hard
winter a great portion of the line would
be lined on either side by precipitous
cliffs of snow. Sometimes these cliffs
became so high that the only way fresh
drifts could be cleared away was by
shoveling the snow upon fiat cars and
hauling it out to place where it could
be got rid OF.
But methods of snow bucking have
improved with other branches of rail-
way service. In 1886, j. 8. Leslie, of
Brooklyn, an employe Of the Railway
Mail Service, perfected rotary pillow
which was designed to cut and throw
snow from the track as nearly
like the shovel in human hands
as it is possible to utilize steam
power. This first rotary plow made
its trial trip on the Union Pacific Rail-
way in the winter of 1885 and 1887,
making a record of 5000 miles through
Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1893-03-09

snow that sometimes reached depth
Of fifteen feet, at a cost of 164 cents a
mile for operating both rotary and
pusher. This was remarkable when
compared with the cost of the old
methods Of snow bucking. The rotary
has been improved since then until it is
considered perfect. Now an entire
division can be cleared of snow in day
without discomfort to the men who do
the work. The pillow simply starts from
one end of the division and keeps going
at the rate of twelve to twenty miles an
hour until it gets to the other end, and
that is all there is to it. When it goes
through drift it opens a roomy pas
sage, throws the snow entirely out of
