WHEN NIAGARA RAN DRY.

Congressman Dan Lockwood, OF
Buffalo, says that within his recollec-
ton the great waterfall at Niagara was
suspended, and that many people pass
ed over its rocky places dry shod. He
says that the miracle was wrought in
1S4s, during the month of March. TO
he exact, it was on the morning of
March 90, 1913, and for several hours
the wonderful torrent did cease to
flow, and the river ran dry. TIE pre-
ceeding winter had been a severe one,
and the ice which had formed in Lake
Erie was of phenomenal thickness.
There came on March 81, a sudden ex-
ceedingly warm spell of weather,
which melted the SHOWS, and a warm
rain poured down in torrents during
the entire day Of March 2S. The ice
was loosened, and strong east wind
drove it far out in the lake during the
night. But at sunrise on the 29th the
wind came from the west, and as the
sailors say, it was "blowing great
guns" This terrific gale drove the
immense mass Of ice into the mouth
of the Niagara river, where it was
gorged and piled up from shore to
shore, hermetically sealing the river
from damming the waters back into
the lake. Thus it happened that Nj
agara ran dry, its falls became black
barren rocks, and its mighty thunders
were put to sleep. Within four or FIVE
hours tiny streams Of water began to
trickle through the gorge. The tre-
mendous power back of those streams
accelerated their flowing, and in a
short time the ice dam gave way, and
there never was such a wild, roaring,
mad flood in Niagara before or since,
and thus the cataract became itself
again.-Boston Transcript.

RAPID RAILWAY MAKING.

When it was proposed to build the
Central Pacific railway, civil engi-
neer of 25 years experience reported
that the line could not be completed in
20 years, with all the money in the
Bank of England to back the enter
prise. But it was built seven years
before the expiration of the time fixed
| by congress. The act of congress al
lowed the Central Pacific to build its
line eastward until it met that of the
Union Pacific.
Inasmuch as every mile Of line
brought with it subsidy in bonds and
lands from the United States there was
race between the two companies.
AS the tracks neared each other, the
pace became rapid. The Union COM
pany laid little over four miles in
one day. Soon after the Central COM
pany completed six miles in day.
The Union company exceeded that
feat by laying eight miles.
Mr.. Charles Crocker who was push
ing forward the Central, said:
"We'll take off our coats and beat
them, but we won't try it until they
are so close that they won't have a
chance to get back at u.s." When the
Central approached within II miles of
the Union the final struggle began.
ave are going to lay 10 miles of
track in one day YOU can make up
your minds to that" said Mr.. Crocker
to his foremen, who had expressed
doubts of the possibility of utilizing
men enough to do the work. 81 have
been thinking the matter over for fort
night, and know what am about.
Each train load will contain material
enough for two miles. AS soon as one
train has dropped its load, forward the
rails as fast as the men can carry them
then bring up and unload another
train. Have your men in readiness for
spiking. Let the first man drive in only
only particular spike, and pass on from
one rail to another let the man who
follows him drive in the second spike
on the rail, and so on. See that you
have enough spikes on hand, so that
no man stops for an instant or passes
another man. Then let the straight
eners follow, and see that they ad-
vance without stop or hitch. Close
on their heels bring on the Jewelers.
and filters, but not so as to interfere"
Mr.. Bancroft, who describes the
scene, quotes an eyewitness:
cit was" said he, "as if an army
passed over the ground, and left be-
hind it a railway finished. rode be-
side the workmen, and at times the
track was laid as fast as my horse could
walk.
Ten miles, and 1S5 feet additional
were laid in that day of days in the
history of track laying.

MECKLENBURG'S ROAD.
Manufacturers Record.

The construction of macadamiz.
roads around Charlotte, n. c., is st
being pushed, and in view of the eff
feet of good roads upon Mecklenburg
county, the following data with refer
ence to road-building in that county,
given by the engineer in charge Of the
work, will be of interest:
Most of the stone is furnished by the
farmers, the county paying 40 cents
per cubic yard for the stone piled on
the road at designated places. A
small proportion of the stone is quar-
ried Ivy the convicts.
The road costs about $4,000 per
mile.
The county now has about 33 miles
of first-class madamized roads.
The number of convicts now engag-
ed in road-building is about so.
1t costs the county about 26 cents
per day for each convict maintained
and worked on the roads. This cost
includes food, clothing, shelter and
guarding. The convicts live in camps
at points along the road near where
the road building is being done. The
shelter is a cheap structure of wood
and canvas, something better than q
tent.
The advantages of using convict Ia
Dor are:
l. That an organized force can be
better maintained than could be done
with free labor for road building.
2. 1t is cheaper than free labor would
be.
8. 1t frees the county from the ex-
pense of keeping prisoners without
any return value.
4. 1t engages convict labor in health
full occupation without bringing il in
competition with free labor.
5. 1t is the best possible punishment
for the common criminal.
6. 1t cures the tramp nuisance.
7. The result (good roads, is a bene-
faction.
The county owns crushing plant,
consisting off stone crusher 40-horse
power engine and boiler. 1t also owns
a heavy steam roller, screening appa-
ratus, carts, mules, etc.
Lands in the county have been
materially increased in value as re-
suit of the improved condition of the
roads.
Many new settlers have been attract
ed by the new roads.
Considerable capital has been invest
ed in enterprises in Charlotte because
of the good impressions made by the
good roads leading out of the city.
The road-building is done entirely
by convict labor, except only few
skilled workmen.

hand. "I'll take care Of him." she ex-
claimed again, as if repelling any inter.

Nelsine was wild with excitement
"There was never snake seen SO near

"And to think that it might have been

children?" peering anxiously about the
lawn. II can never feel easy to have

'It is not the time to worry about the
children. They are all right" retorted
Edith sharply. "The question is, What
can we do to save-him? If we only had
a doctor! Can we not send for one? Oh,
we must!"
"But there is not man on the place
to send. He said himself that they were
all mile away half an hour ago, and
they are farther off. by this" moaned
Nelsine, olasping her hands helplessly
together. "The Campbell boys might

would get here too late probably, but
it is horrible to think of the poor man
dying perhaps, and we all alone on the
place. Oh, we never could endure it'll"
II will ride over and get the Camp
bell boys to 60 for doctor, returned
Edith briefly, setting her teeth hard to-
gether. Don't worry, and do every
thing you can for him, Nelsine. 1t hap

she turned away her head, running to-
ward the horse, which had remained
nipping grass where she had left him,
as contentedly as though no shadow Of
death had fallen across the emerald sur
face.
1.-THE poor man! 1t will probably be
too late" murmured Nelsine hopeless
ly, mechanically keeping along beside
her. "But you would better go, just the
same, Edith. 1t will be comfort to US
afterward"
