Freedom from
oscillation"

In its issue of Febr'y 18th
the Railway Age" of Chi
cago gives a very interesting
account of some record
breaking runs on the Bur-
lington Route between Gales
burg and Chicago. The ar
ticle says in conclusion:
THE Burlington S main line
track allows the highest
speed to be made with re-
markable freedom from oscil-
lation. The train 'purs' over
the joints with a delightful
rythm and the passenger
seldom realizes that he is rid
ing at an extraordinary
gait
Freedom from oscillation is
something the Burlington is
famous for all over the coun-
try. No matter how great
the speed, the train is as
steady as any moving object
can be.
How could it be otherwise
with such a track, such roll
ing stock, such engines as the
Burlington's?

ELECTRIC LINES AND LOCOMOTIVES

The suggestions recently offered by City
Electrician John p. Barrett of Chicago re-
garding the use of auxiliary electrical pumps
as means Of improving the city water sup
ply have received the sanction OF Mayor
Swift and the commissioner of public works.
The vast area covered by the city renders
the water pressure inadequate IN many dis
tricts. How best to remedy this condition
has been perplexng problem, owing to de-
creased city revenue which virtually pro-
hibited the erection of costly steam pumps.
Prof. Barretts plan obviates the financial
part Of the problem, as a station can be
equipped with electric pumps at a cost Of
$4,000. The plan for operating the pressure
stations is not expensive. Prof. Barrett, in
his report, suggests that arrangements can
be made with any one of the electric street
railway and electric lighting companies for
the necessary supply OF power He also
suggests that the municipal lighting plant
can be used In that part of the city where
It is located In any case the expense for
power will not be great
When Prof. Barrett first made his rec
ommendation the objection offered by all
engineers was that the pressure would not
be Increased without robbing the water mains
behind the electric pumps. This objection
Is overcome by an ingenious arrangement
by which 1t Is proposed to force the water
ahead without drawing II out Of the mains
behind. 1t Is proposed to allow 1t to flow
into a small reservoir naturally and from

WRITING ON THE SKY.
The virtues of an electric monogram sig
nal have already been referred to in those
columns, says the Electrical Review. The
device Is a sort of typewriter delivering its
message, letter by letter, in mid-air, or at
any distant point. in gigantic characters of
light. The observers may be miles away
and vet read the message with ease The
keyboard is manipulated exactly as In an or
binary typewriter and its function is to
switch in or direct the current through a
series of distributing wires, which are car
ried in a cable to the monogram or display
frame According to predetermined
scheme the keys exercise a selective func-
ton, and each one switches In the leading
wires only, which connect with the members
of the monogram constituting the letter OF
the alphabet which that particular key repre-
sents.

FORTY-MILE ELECTRIC LINE,

The construction and operation of an elec-
trio railroad connecting Washington and Bal
timore appears to be definitely settled. A
contract has just been awarded the Westing-
house company for the electrical equipment.
The contract provides that the machinery
furnished shall send the express trains be-
tween Washington and Baltimore at a speed
of sixty miles an hour. Trains will be run
every half hour
The equipment Is to comprise eight 700
kilo watt generators, switchboards and pan
els The first generator In each power house
Is to be ready for operation by May 15. The
booster" system has been adopted for the
operation of the plants. With the excep-
tion of comparatively small portion of the
road, the route lies through a level country,
and it is expected the trains will make phe-
nomenal speed. No railroad grade crossings
are made on any part of the line. The single
trolley with feed wires will be employed,
but new method of suspension will be
used for the purpose of lessenng the dan
ger of the trolley wheel jumping of the
wire.
BY June 1 the road will, it is expected,
be in operation between Baltimore and Eli
colt City. and two months later between
Washington and Baltimore.
The road Is destined to play an important
part In the contest between steam and cleo
tricity. and will provoke sharp railroad
war with existing steam lines the Pennsyl-
vania and Baltimore & Ohio companies.

Geese have always been considered silly

once upon a time give warning OF the ap-

not to the natural intelligence SO much as
to their being made use OF by some higher

Thief.
It is somewhat singular that a man, by
keeping his eyes open, can see unexpectedly
many interesting incidents of city life every
day, but cannot see incidents that he ex-
poets to see. If he travels up and down and
across town frequently, says the New York
Times, he may expect to see fires, but the
chances are that he will travel for weeks
without seeing sign of flames, although the
record In the newspapers indicates that eight
or ten fires a day are not unusual. Like
wise, in regard to accidents in the streets.
If a cable car runs over a person, 1t Is re-
ported that great throng gathered at the
scene, but 1t is evident that the number Of
persons that could be summoned as witnesses
is very small. Hardly an hour passes with
out something happening in Broadway and
attracting a crowd in few minutes, but
hundreds the outskirts are obliged to
ask, whats the matter?" Minor incidents
are sized up sooner, and sometimes they
as interesting as the incidents one expects to
see. That was exemplifed at Broadway and
Fulton street at noon recently.
One of the peddlers there had a box Of
sponges on the curbstone. Being obliged to
be on guard against the approach Of po-
liceman, he did not observe a stub-tailed
dog until after it had seized a sponge with
its teeth and started to run across the
street. His features expressed amazement
and anger in quick succession as he ex-
claimed, You little cussr and ran after
the dog. The dog became bewildered slightly
while trying to escape, and he glanced back
ward to see II he had been pursued. The
peddler hes!tated over leaving his box too
far out of sight, and on the crossing con-
tented himself with whistling and swapping
his fingers at the dog in manner suggestive
of his desires to recover the sponge.
But the dog would not be Influenced
by strange voice. Fifty persons
watched the performance, and. al
though few sympathetic individuals tried to
catch the dog, the majority laughed. Seeing
an opening under a wagon, the dog jumped
through and scampered up the street. 1t IL
not unreasonable to believe that those who
saw the incident imagined that the dog had
been trained to steal. although its master
did not reveal himself In the immediate vi

Crows Fight,

Crows In large numbers have appeared
along the New York and Pennsylvania border.
| This is unusually early for those birds to be
| in this latitude, says the New York Sun.
They have assembled in one immense colony,
and the weatherwise say their appearance Is
Indicative of an early spring. Whether that
is true or not there can be no doubt that this
great colony Of crows Is made up of a lot of
extremely hungry members; and, according
to the reports, they most annoyingiy

and steal the food intended for pigs. cows.
sheep and chickens. They also steal chickens
and have made away with many pigeons, OF
which nearly every farmer in that region
keeps flock.
A man named Glassmeyer took his gun tho
other day and went out to shoot into flock
of crows that had been particularly destruc-
tive in their raids about his place. He killed
a crow at the first fire, when the rest of the
flock. with deafening cries attacked him
savagely. He tried to beat them Off with his
gun, but they swooped down on him so
fiercely that he was obliged to run for his
life. The crows followed him half a mile to
his very door He escaped into the house,
his face and his hands bleeding from wounds
which the crows had inflicted with their

is no danger Of this queer school lacking
scholars for there are thousands Of monkeys

made, 1t Is said, to educate these beasts SO
that they may become fairly efficient

 "M. P. Smith is dead. The big hearted, generous cowboy whom we loved and trusted has gone over the great divide to attend the last round- up.

 With so short warning-not even having time to tell us all goodbye, he mounted the phantom steed which we must all ride some day, and rode to meet the outfit whose brands are plain and cutting will be fair.
 "He has gone to the range that is watered by the fountain Of life, where drouths never come. In that range the cross brand is given. It was first started on Mount Calvary by our great Foreman Jesus. and the creature that bears not this brand will be cut out and rounded in the bunch of strays.
