HAHN'S PEAK ROAD.

Mr.. Art f. Hills of the North park
returned from a trip to Ohio yesterday
and will go out to the park tomorrow.
Mr.. Hills is very much interested in
the proposed road to Hahn's peak.
From his ranch in the park the peak is
about Is miles distant. Having the
control of the park trade. Mr.. Hills be-

Rev. H.. A. Doughty, who has been
assisting the pastor Of the Methodist
church in revival meetings, returned
to Laramie Tuesday.
The meetings were held a little over
a week and were not very largely at.
tended, but were unusually successful.
Rev. Doughty made many friends
while here. and impressed all who met
him with his excellent qualities. He is
a good preacher. a manly clergyman
and a genial, symathetic friend, with
unusual adaptibility for evangelistic
work. The only regret the people Of
the Methodist church have is that his
stay was so short. and we wish him
great success wherever in the provi-
dence Of God his field of labor my He.-

MANY MILLIONS SAVED.
Prof. ParsoDs Assert That tbs Fare

Between New York aud
Chicago.



The addition Of the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad to the long list of roads
that have gone into the hands of re-
~ceivers within the past three years is
the latest reminder OF the fact that the
financial condition of American rail
roads is not at all satisfactory.
President o. d. Ashley of the Wa
bash Railroad company has lately
pointed out, in a much-1iscussed arti-
Gle. the main causes Of the recent eX-
listing lack of railroad prosperity. as
railroad presidents view them. First,
he says, there has been excessive COM
petition; second. there has been a vast
construction of unnecessary lines; third,
there has been arbitrary legislation in
tation rates below the paying point:
fourth. the interstate commerce law
has crippled the earning power of
many roads. This is a railroad presi-
dents view, and due discount must be
made for hat fact. The lack of rail-
road prosperity. however. is undenied
and undeniable.
AS one railroad after another passes
into the receivers hands and thus
comes, in a sense, to be operated by the
government, acting through the courts,
it is inevitable that the often-suggest>
ed d~esirability of establishing national
ownership of all railroads, or. at least,
of putting them under full government
control and supervision. should press
itself upon public attention.
Prof. Frank Parsons. in the current
Today. gives figures to show that the
result in a saving on the total cost of
running them of 1851 600, 900 a year,
which is more than half OF the whole
annual earnings Of United States rail-
roads today. He gives high railroad
authorities for every item in the ac,
count. which he makes up as follows:

degrees If the wind is very high, or it is
desired to work at reduced speed, the vanes
can be set at an angle of 80, 20, 10 or even
degrees to the wind. But whatever the
angle there is no danger of sudden in
crease of wind velocity carrying away the
whole structure-a catastrophe not un-
known with some wind motors. Indeed
the machinery would not even travel at a
dangerous pace, for any abnormal pressure
of wind automatically opens the sails, and
when they are completely open, whether

The engines will do the work with as
little as four or five mile wind, but there
is practically no necessity to work out the
table to this point, because the returns
specially compiled demonstrate that there
is always sufficient wind per month at the
pressure tabulated.
The engine is made in various sizes.
The energy costs nothing and the original
outlay, with wear and tear, spread over
few years, amounts to so little that the
wind-engine is an inexpensive motor. For

extent that the different phases of fight
can be treated mathematically. Besides
this the physical processes of the natural
flight of the creatures have become
the subject of minute investigation and
have in most cases been satisfactorily ex.
planned. The nature of the wind, also, and
its influence on flying bodies, have been
carefully studied, thus enabling us to un-
derstand several peculiarities of the bird s
flight hitherto unexplginable, so that one
can apply the results thus obtained in per-
fecting human flight. Only by actual fly
ing experiments can a practical insight
into the practice of flying be obtained. The
accompanying illustration shows Lilien-
thals idea of flying machine, and is an
exact picture of the construction of the ap-
paratus.
1t is a double apparatus. The upper
surface is separated from the lower by
distance equal to three-q uarters of the
breadth of the lower surface, and it has no
disturbing influence whatever, but creates
only vertically acting lifting force. With
such an apparatus one always cuts the air
quickly, SO that both surfaces are met by
the air current, and therefore both act as
lifters. The whole management of such
an apparatus is just the same as that of
single sailing surface. Steering is brought
about by simply changing the center of
gravity, shifting the position of the body.

When this ephone was tried down the
bay recently half gale was blowing, and
there was a sharp squan of snow coming
down. The experimenters who tested the
mask were the inventor, Della Tore, and
Chief Inspector of the National Board of
Marine Underwriters r. NJ. Hanna. Not
withstanding the conditions of the
weather the experimenters heard with
ease the noise made by the blowing of
whistles and the emitting of exhaust
steam by other tugs fully half mile to
leeward. They could not see the other
tugs, but unfailingly succeeded in point
ing the arrow, arranged for the purpose of
guiding the wheelman, directly to the
positions occupied by the vessels which
were used in the trial.

fifteen miles off and in a fog, when there
is no wind, he can hear a greater distance.

The Most Famous Swords Were Tenn
pered in Peculiar Sand.
The Spanish towns were celebrated
throughout the civilized world for the ex-
cellence of their swords, and among them
all Toledo stood unrivaled for the TEN per
of her steel. The Toledo blade. famous in
song and story, was SO keen, so flexible,
and withal so strong, that its fineness be-
came proverbial. When the Moors over
ran Spain in the ninth century. they were
already masters of many of the arts, and
especially were they adopts in the working
OF metal. Their swords were highly
valued for their delicate temper, and their
special decoration, which we still call
damascening, was also justly priced. 1t
was from these conquerors that the. Span
iards learned much of their skill In forging
and tempering steel.
And that the completeness OF the no.
blest weapon men ever made should not
be marred by the lack of any element,
natural or artificial, the fairy godmother,
nature, contributed one more gift. On
the banks of the Tagus there is an abun-
dance of fine sand. In the process of
forging the metal is taken white-hot from
the furnace, and is subjected to cooling
process. 1t was to the peculiar properties
of this white Tagus sand, in which the
cooling blade was buried, that the Toledo
blades owe their unequaled hardness and
great hexibility.-St. Nicholas.
