An explanatinn of the operation
of railway air-brakes recently pub
lished brings it within the COM
prehension of the most inexpert.
"Under each of the cars is rub
her pipe connected with an air
compressor en- the engine, This
pipe leads to and supplies an air.
reservoir under each car, These
reservoirs are loaded from the en-
ginewith compressed air to the
amount of seventy pounds each.
The pressure of this air keeps open
the brakes, and as long as the COM
PRESSED air remains in the reser-
voirs under the ears the brakes are
open. By farming the lever on the
engine the compressed air is re-
leased and as it is released the
brakes on each of the cars close
automatically, pressing against the
wheels and practically locking
them. As soon as the train is
brought to full stop, of which the
painting of the compressed as it es'
capes from under the cars gives
notice, the reservoirs are again
filled by turn of the lever on the
engine. and this fills the reservoirs
under the cars, and thereby auto
matically releases all the brakes at
once." There have been many
other devices for the safeguarding
Of the lives of travellers, but it is
doubtful if the interests of safety
have been promoted more extern
,ivelY by any other one agency.

The conditions that will make
slipshod farming fairly profitable
will never return. The tillers of
the soil must pursue the best and
most economical methods in pro-
ducing the crops of the farm, The
best quality of everything should
be produced. Quick-maturing cat.
tie, sheep, swine and poultry, as
well as the grain crops. The sue
eessful farmer of the future must
conduct his operations upon strict
business principles. He must work
with his mind as we'll as with his
hands. He should read the expe-
rience of others, observe how his
successful neighhor conducts his
work, keep himself posted in all
lines of agricultural Xxx.

In most of the States there are
strict laws requiring the supervisor
of highways in each town to see to
it that all weeds are cut at least
twice year, once in June and
again in September, to prevent
them from seeding. They are not
generally enforced as they should
be. Either the work is wholly
unattended to or it is done so care
lessly as to do little good. 1t is
in vain that farmers try to keep
their own fields free from weeds
while weed seeds are produced in
neighboring highways to be borne
by winds to their fields, and per-
haps increase largely before they
are discovered.

The statistician has been getting
in his work again. This time it is
on the expenditure of force in pi-
ano playing. A pianissimo pressure
on key equals weight Of thres
ounces. On this basis it is calcu-
lated that to render the last Etude
by Chopin in G minor requires an
aggregate pressure of $3.50 pounds.
Without stopping to moralize or
statistioate on what this force
would accomplish if directed into
some lucrative channel, it may be
suggested that now that the plane
Dangers who disturb the peace

understand that they are really
doing hard if useless labor, they
may voluntarily desist. In this
happy event the etatistician, who

Great activity is reported in
mining affairs along the Colorado

associates. of Denver, are invest

Golden Dream group of five mines

WHAT SHALL BE DONE.

A discussion of what be done
with lands located in the sparsely
settled regions of the west, from
the side of the eastern mortgage
who has acquired title to land in
the region under consideration,
taken from an editorial In the Oc-
tober number of American Invest
ments. Of Buffalo, N. Y, which
closes as follows.
"We must have less corn and
wheat raised and more hogs and
small grains Diversified and in
tense farming must supplant broad
and great cultivation. Farming
must be adapted to climatic con-
d;tions, not striving to create the
climatic conditions for farming.
Crops like alfalfa and Kaffir corn,
and others requiring little moisture
must supplant those requiring
more Cuttle- rsising will largely
prevail in coming years. lndebt-
edness must be cleared away by
liquidation or compromise of some
kind, and taxes reduced to a nor
NAL rate. Diversified farming,
dairying and poultry raising will
grow rapidly, as they have now
we'll started. Honest men are
needed as we'll as honest dollars.
No tinkering for twenty-five years
with our tariff or monetary laws.
Foreign capital, to some extent,
must come in, Increased rentals
will surely prevail soon, Water
must be in hand. Small tracts
must be consolidated into larger
ones and combinations made so
lands can be handled efficiently
and economically. Good crops
and good prices. We are now in
our sixth year of low values, a
change for the better seems certain
soon to come. A few successive
good crops would enable owners to
get out in good shape"

Long ago, in the days of big fam

In the course of tine they had ten

one day the spirit of war descended

A PREHISTORIC CITY.

A New York dispatch of recent
date gives the following descrip-
tion of a city recently discovered
in Mexico. Buried and forgotten
for ages amid the rank vegetation
of a tropical forest a prehistoric
American city has been discovered
by New York explorer in the
mountains of Mexico. William
Niven, the ethnologist, has known
of the ruins ror several years, but
it was only after he returned to
Mexico in July last for thorough
examination and investigation of
the city that he realized the splen-
did extent and grandeur Of his
find.
Quechomitlipan; by which name
the city is known, as in the canton
of Guerrero and Nlvens says the
rufus cover an area of a thousand
acres. Whether it is one Of the
former capitals of the Aztecs, or
whether the remains belong to
period of some even earlier civiliza-
ton may not be determined till
the explorer returns to this country
and submits the antiquities he has
collected and the photographs which
he has made. to ethnologists and
antiquurlans.
But the temples and pyramids
he has found and the specimens dug
up prove the city was at some time
one of the great centers of wealth
and power of the American hemis-
phere. 1t may become evident
that America, instead of being the
"New World" is really, as COM
pared with Europe and Egypt, the
older world of the two. He writes;
"I have been four weeks riding
among the ruins of the great pre-
historic city, and I lind it covers a
muCh wider area than what I had
at first supposed, something like
one thousand acres, l have dug
into subterranean chambers of the
largest buildings and found them
filed with broken pieces of plaster
painted bright red and white, and,
on the floors, beads, axes, idols and
broken pottery. In one ex;ava-
ton which I made at a place called |
Guayabo, I found at the depth of
nine feet from the surface. under
an altar, an ola of terra Gotta filled
with dirt and mixed among it we're
seventy-two objects of mother-of-
pearl, all perforated, and five of
them were heads of kings with |
crowns nicely carved. The ola was
broken by the pick of peon. but
saw it in time and with my own
hands picked up every fragment
and preserved one-half of the ola,
with the dirt and objects sticking
in it undisturbed.
ssI found at other places bones of
strange animals, and have carefully
packed some. [ have already taken
over two hundred pictures, fifty of
which I have developed, and lost
only two. I found the ruins of
twenty temples and two great
pyramids.
