On fifteen inch ice railroad tracks are often laid and operated for months, and ice two feet thick withstood the impact of a loaded passenger car after Q siXty-foot fall Cor, perhaps, fifteen hundred foot-tons), but broke under that of the locomotive and tender Cor, perhaps, three thousand foot tons). Trautwine gives the crush ing strength of firm ice as 167-250 pounds per square inch. Colonel Lud- low, in his experiments in 1881, on 6-12- inch cubes, found 292-SS9 pounds for pure hard ice and 222-S20 pounds for in- ferior grades. and on the Delaware riv- CT 700 pounds for clear ice and forty pounds or less for ice near the mouth, where it is more or less disintegrated by the action of salt water, etc. Experi- ments of Gzowski gave POS pounds; those Of others 310-32O pounds. The ten- sile strength was found by German ex- periments to be 142-223 pounds per square inch.

It Costs Little and Doe. Much

Remark when you attend a play or concert how many people disturb the performance by coughing. One man begins and the cough seems to be con- tagious. The interruption is a great nuisance, and there is no need of it, for anyone may cure a cough with the Pineola Balsap, which costs twenty-five cents. It soothes the inflammation in the throat and loosens the mucus which clogs the air passages. A few doses of Ely's Pineola Balsam stop a cough and heal sore throat, f5 3teod 1tW
