though they are loaded in such man
ner that the weight is carried by two of
the cars. With the exception of the
two longest the logs are placed two to-
gether on the cars, but it was impos-
sible to load the two largest in that
manner, owing to their enormous
weight.
The two end cars of the sections will
support the load on a raised blocking
working on pivot. The other cars
will be empty, and the logs will extend
over them above the cap floors. This
arrangement is necessary, owing to the
curves in the road. When the train is
on curve the first and last cars of the
section will, of course, not be in the
same straight line, and if the logs were
supported by all the cars it would be
impossible to round the curve without
breaking either the logs or cars.
To overcome this difficulty the NOV
able blocks on the two end cars are
brought into play, and while the empty
cars curve around bend in the track
the pivots are also turned, permitting
the logs to always retain the same rela-
tive position with respect to each other.
On sharp curves the middle of the load
will be entirely clear of the cars at the
center of the section and will lie paral-
lei to tangent drawn at the outer edge
of the curve. When the curve is passed
the pivots again throw the logs back to
their original position.

FAMOUS HOUNDS KILLED.
One Hundred Thoroughbred Dogs Killed
Because of Lack of Food.


One hundred of the finest-bred
hounds in this country were killed re-
Gently at the Stokes q Whitehouse
ranch on the Laramie plains because
there was nothing for them to eat, and
the man who was in charge of them
thought it more merciful to shoot them
than TO let them starve to death. He
did not dare to turn them loose to
range the country in their hungry con-
dition.
A few years ago the ranch was the
finest in the state. 1t was regular
old-country establishment, and the
hounds were the finest that could be
imported. The owners sank five hun
dred thousand dollars in breeding thor
oughbred horses, and one day White
house accidentally killed Stokes while
they were hunting.
The ranch was then practically aban-
doned. 1t tool; a horse or steer each
day to feed the hounds, and there being
no more such animals left on the ranch
the keeper killed all. The ranch is
now entirely deserted by man and
beast.

of being largely below the sea, the

REwARD FOR INSTRUMENTATION
A Railway Engineer Who Wouldn't Sub
nit to Onicial Tyranny.


The American appreciation of indie
rendence and pluck is illustrated by the
following story, the scene of which
was laid in the office of the superin-
+endent of motive power of one of the
bic trunk lines. The official was tired
and out OF sorts. A friend had just
come in for n chat with him, when the
office boy brought word that one of the
engineers Of the road wished to see his
SUPERIOR This increased the superin-
tendent's vexation, and he snappily
told the boy to show the caller in. The
engineer was a good-looking man of
middle age, evidently dressed IN his
Sunday clothes.
'Mr. -" he said, abruptly, ''you
told me that if would take the repair
train out for one trip you would put
me back on my regular run. I've made
three trips now, and am tired of it.

should think you could put some I'M
married man, who hasn't been with
the road as long as have, on the train
and give me back my regular job"
The superintendent was exasperated
and he said sharply: you'll keep on
running that repair train until 1 get
ready to take you off.
The workman drew himself up and
said firmly but respectfully: 81 don't
make another trip on that train. am
going home. When you want me to
20 on my regular run send for me. I"
And with this he walked out of the
room
The superintendent companion
heard the mutinous words with surprise
and said; 81 suppose you'll discharge
him at once"
Discharge him?" was the reply.
"Not much. We haven't better man
on the road than he. If he had sub
mitted to my tyranny, then l might
have discharged him. He will go on
his regular train to-morrow."-N. Y.

TOMB OF A ROMANTIC PAST.
Venice No Longer "A Living City, But
Merely Vast Museum.


Merely Vast Museum.
Venetian life in the large old sense
has since come to an end, and the es-
sential present character of the most
melancholy Of cities resides simply in
its being the most beautiful of tombs,
says Scribners. Nowhere else has the
past been laid to rest with such tender
ness, such a sadness of resignation and
remembrance. Nowhere else is the
present SO alien, so discontinuous, so
like crowd in a cemetery without
garIands for the graves. 1t has no
lowers in its hands, but as compensa-
ton, perhaps-and the thing is doubt
less more TO the point-it has money
and little red books. The everlasting
shuttle, in the piazza, of these irrespon-
A0le visitors is contemporary Venetian
hie, Everything else is only a rever-
Oeration of that The vast mausoleum
mas turnstile at the door, and func-
uonary in a shabby uniform lets you

Prosperity, the vitality of the place.
Inc shopl;eepers and gondoliers, the
oeggars and the models, depend upon
Tor a living; they are the custodians
and the ushers of the great museum
'ney are even themselves TO a certain
extent the objects on exhibition. 1t is
IN the wide vestibule of the square that
the polyglot pilgrims gather most
GenSely; Piazza San Marco is like the
IOOby Of the opera in the intervals OF

most easily measured there, and that is
why in the effort to resist our pessim-
Nm' we must turn away both from the
purchasers and from the vendors of
