R usHING THROUGH A cAvE-IN
An Engineer Saves His Train by
Crowding on Steam.

Crowding on Steam.
From the Washington Star.
Had it not been for the cool head
and ready hand of Frederick Titus,
engineer of Lehigh Valley freight
engine No. $50, himself, his crew Of
six men, the engine and four
freight cars would now be lying at
the bottom of an old mine hole.
Titus on Wednesday found him.
self in a predicament so terrible
that were he to experience it again
he says, he is afraid his nerve
would fail. Titus was at the lever
of the big engine as she ratified
down the heavy grade on long
siding running toward Miners
Mills, small town near Wilkes
barre. He was pulling four empty
freight cars, and going at a speed
of twenty miles an hour. The track
was wet from an early rain, and
the big driving wheels of the en-
CINE slipped on the rails. Titus kept
sharp lookout ahead for danger,
and stood ready to whistle down
brakes at any moment.
Suddenly, as he glanced down
the track, his attention by dis
turbance in the roadbed, only few
hundred feet ahead. He was sur
prised to see large holes appear,
and as he looked the entire surface
for a distance of several feet sank
out of sight, and the edges on each
side of the hole continued to crum-
BILE. He Immediately realized
what had happened. The place
was honeycombed by old mine
workings, and one of the gangways,
hundreds of feet below, had fallen
in taking down the surface with it.
The rails and ties alone remained
staight and symmetrical, and the
hole was all the time growing
larger.
In less time than it has taken to
write one of these lines, all this
passed through the mind of the
engineer, and as it did he acted,
intuitively, perhaps, for he said
afterward he had no time to think.

open, putting on full head of
steam, at the same time opening
the sand tube to give the wheels
firm hold, The big engine sprang
forward like a Splinter, and gain
eng speed with every inch of
advice, shot across the chasm
swiftly and safely, but none too
soon, for barely had the last car
cleared the edge when the rallies
and ties fell with crash into the
big hole.
After the train had been brought
to a standstill, the crew hurried
back to the scene. The whole by
this time was fully 30 feet across,
and the bottom could not be seen.
Titus said that knew there was not
room on the down grade to stop
the train before it reached the cave
in andEhe felt the only safety was
in Swimming across. A large force
of men are at work repairing the
damage.

A Machine for Testing Rubber Tires.
A clever business move has been
made by a bicycle tire manufac-
turing company. 1t was seeking
to turn out the best tire in the
market, and thought it would be
better policy to test the tires in
which they were making changes
with view to improvements than
run the risk Of their turning out
badly when tested by actual work
ON the road. 1t accordingly con-
structed a machine by means of
which the ordinary road wear and
tear of the tire could be du-
plicated, the main elemen tst de-
sired being pressure and rough
surface. The machine consists
of two radial arms or beams, car
rying bicycle wheels of the ordin-
airy pattern and shod with the
tires to be tested. The wheels being
fastened to the middle of the beams
Of tires are subjected to pressure
of about 100 pounds. The tires rest
on small wooden pulleys,
across whose surface are
fastened, at short intervals,
cleats of wood, to represent the
rough surface of the road. The
wheels are driven by belts at a
speed of twenty-eight to thirty
miles an hour, so that all cOndi-
tiOns of actual use are obtained.
The distance run is measured by q
cylinder. All kinds Of tires have
been subjected to this test, and it
is found that the tire which will,
in actual use, run from twelve to
eighteen months on the road, can
be broken on this machine in from
two to three weeks. The majority
of the fabrics tested have run
from two hours to one week
before giving out. To show
the remarkable capacity for
Notwithstanding wear and tear
that is exhibited in the best made
tires, it is stated that one fabric
has stood the test by this machine
of $4,000 miles, which would repre-
sent several years of use at the
hands of the average rider. The
transfer of the expense Of expert
menting from the patterns to the
manufacturer is certainly move
in the right direction, and it is to
be hoped that those who have
taken the,initiative in the new de-
parture will meet with the success
they deserve.

Making Postage Stamps.

From the New Orleans Times Democrat
The design of the stamp is en-
graved on steel, and in the print
ing, plates are used on which 200
stamps have been engraved. Two
men are kept busy at work cover
ing these with colored inks and
passing them to man and girl,
who fare Equally busy bringing
them with large rolling hand
presses. Three Of these little squads
are employed all the time. After
the small sheets Of paper contain
ing 200 printed stamps have dried
enough they are sent into another
room and gummed. The gum used
for this purpose is of peculiar
composition, made of the powder
Of dried potatoes and other veget-
tables mixed with water. After
having been again dried, this time
on little racks famed by steam
power for about an hour, they are
put between sheets of pasteboard
and pressed in hydraulic presses
capable of applying a weight Of
1000 tons. The next thing is to cut
the sheets in two, each sheet, of
course, when cut, containing 100
stamps. This is done by a girl,
with a large pair Of shears, cutting
by hand being preferred to that
done by machinery, which would
destroy too many stamps. They
are then passed to another squad

Kenneth Bazemore had the
good fortune to receive a small
bottle of Chamberlain's Collie,
Cholera and DiarrhGa Remedy
when three members of his family
were sick with dysentery. This one
small bottle cured them all and he
had some left which he gave to
Geo. w. Baker, a prominent mer-
chant Of the place, Lewiston, n. c.,
and it cured him of the same COM
plant. When troubled with dys-
EMERY, diarrhGa, collie or cholera
morbus, give this remedy trial
and you will be more than pleased
with the result. The praise that
naturally follows its introduction
and use has made it very popular.

of workers, who perforate the
paper between the stamps. Next,
they are pressed once more, and
then packed and labeled and stow
ed away to be sent out to the
various offices when ordered. IL a
single stamp is torn or in any way
mutilated, the whole sheet Of 100
STAN ps is burned. Not less than
100000 are said to be burned every
week from this cause. The greatest
care is taken in counting the sheets
of stamps to'guard against pilfer-
ing by the employees, and it is said
that during the past twenty years
not a single sheet has been lost in
this way. During the process of
manufacturing the sheet are
counted eleven times.
