LOCOMOTIVE ENGINEER.
Now Reduced to Poverty and an In
mate OF an Almshouse

At the request of Warden Lawrence
Dunphy of the workhouse, Magistrate
Kudlich, in Essex market police court
yesterday recommitted to that institu
ton Wood Benson as a vagrant. Ben
son is SO years cid, and, according TO
his won story, he has never tasted to-
bacco, malt or spirituous liquor in any
years. This statement is to a great
degree corroborlted by his appear
ance. He is hale and hearty, stands
perfectly erect. losing not an inch of
his 6 feet in height, writes a wonder
fully legibe hand and has never in his
life, he states, used glasses. He spoke
with precision and is evidently pos
sessed of his faculties to a remarkable
degree in one so advanced in years.
Benson has already served one term
OF three months in the workhouse,
where he is librarian. At the end Of
similar period he expects to be
cared for by the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Engineers.
1t Is in connection with this that
Mr.. Benson makes most remarka Die
claim-that of not only being the old
est living locomotive engineer but the
first in America to ever pull the
throttle on a moving steam engine
operated on a track or railway. Ac-
cording to the story told by him in Es-
sex market police court, he was born
on farm in this city in 1907, the To-
cation being Amity street, or, as it
known to the present generation, West
Third street He worked, as young
man, on machinery, and when the
first locomotive was constructed he as
sisted in the work and although the
inventor was the nominal engineer
upon che initial trip over the Hudson
River railway Benson says he was the
man actually in charge of the throt-
tie. During the fire of the Herkimer
bridge, which will be recalled by all
old citizens Benson says he was the
engineer who ran upon it, not knowing
it to be in flames This fact he dis
covered too late TO retreat, so, opening
wide the throttle, he dashed over the
blazing structure, burning the hair
and eyebrows from his head, but saw
ing the train Having in 1870
amassed considerable fortune, he
left the engine cab to speculate IN
Wall street, where he soon lost all.
For nearly ten years, he says, he
stopped at the Fifth Avenue hotel, but
even now, as Warden Dunphys guest,
he is perfectly happy,-New York H ar.

KNOW LITTLE OF THE STARS.
May Be leaning With Inhabitants fos
All the Astronomers Know.

Man is a creature adapted for lie
under circumstances which are very
narrowly limited. A few degrees OF
temperature, more or less a slight
variation in the composition of al,
the precise suitability of food, make ali
the difference between health and
sickness, between life and death.
Looking beyond the. moon, into the
length and breadth of the universe.
we find countless celestial globes with
every conceivable variety of tempera-
ture and Of constitution. Amid this
vast number of worlds with which
space is tenanted are there any in
habited by living beings?
TO this great question science can
make no response; we cannot tell.
Yet 1t is impossible to resist a conjec-
lure. We find our earth teeming with
life in every part. We find life undel
the most varied conditions that can be
conceived. 1t is met with under the
burning heat of the tropics and In the
everlasting frost of the poles. We
find life in caves where not a ray of
light ever penetrates. Nor is it want
ing in the depths of the ocean, at the
pressure of tons to the square inch.
Whatever may be the external cirCum-
stances, nature generally provides
some form of life to which those cir
cumstances are congenial 1t is not t.t
all probable that among the million
spheres of the universe there is sin
gle one exactly like our earth-like it
in the possession of air and of water,
like it in size and in composition.
1t does not seem probable that a
man could live for one hour on any
body in the universe except the earth,
or that an oak tree could live in any
other sphere for a single season
Man can dwell on earth, and oak
trees can thrive therein, because the
conditions of the man and of the oak
are especially adapted to the particular
circumstances of the earth. Could we
obtain a closer view of some OF the
celestial bodies we should probably
find that they, too, TEEN with life, but
with life especially adapted to the en-
yironment-life in forms strange and
weird; life far stranger to us than Co

FARMERS SHOULD CUT ICE.
1t has Become a Necessity in Every
Household in the West.

Ice has become one of the necessities
and every farmer should put up enough
for his own use. With plentiful sup
ply of ice the housewife can do her
dairy work in more satisfactory and
profitable manner. and the ice cream
and iced buildings and iced fruits that
are so welcome on sultTy days are at
command. A set of tools sufficient for
the farm ice pond may be obtained at
small expense. 1t is not necessary to
have all the appliances required by the
commercial ice man. On the shoal
ponds of the farm ice saws are not
needed, because they cannot be used to
advantage. The one expensive nipple
ment will be a pillow, which will cost
all the way from SIG to s25 but as this
can be used by several neighbors in
common, who can own it Jointly, the
expense will be but slight for each one
to bear. Next will come the breaking
bar or splitting chisel for pryng off
the cakes of ice. Two pairs of tongs.
a small-sized and a large sized pair.
are all that will be needed in ordinary
cases
A tapping ak is useful hand tool.
AS to scraper-one that will serve
every purpose may be made by the
farmer himself from hardwood plank,
having a pair of handles with OPEN
ings through each end by means of
which it may be drawn by one or two
horses, as the case may be. The entire
for -
coed S25 Equally inexpensive may be
the house for storage. Not infreuuently
a small lean-to-roofed building at the
north end of the barn or shed has
served very good purpose. OF course
there is less waste, and on many &C.
counts it is better to have a well-con-
structed building, and often it is de-
sirable to have the icehouse near, or in
connection with the creamery or dairy
building. A. M. Daniels of Delta county
made his icehouse of shale rock in the
side of a hill, and it kept ice all last
summer without a cover and with one
whole side open. The chief point to
be observed in building an icehouse
for the farm is to have the walls filled
Wllu SdWuuSt, OF HOHCOnuucJlHS SUD-
stance, to a thickness of from eight
inches to one foot, although a less space
is often sufficient.
Details of construction for such
house are familiar to most farmers,
and the expense need not exceed $25
A house sixteen feet square and twelve
feet high will contain sufficient ice for
the uses of farm having a dairy of
from thirty to forty COWS. The thick
ness of ice when stored will depend up
on the season and location where it
is cut In general throughout the
western states from fourteen to eigh-
teen inches is the usual thickness,
and cakes are usually cut eighteen
inches square. Thirty-siX cubic feet
of ice will weigh one ton, although as
usually stored in the house when
packed in sawdust, forty-tive cubic feet
of space is generally required for
ton. In general the earlier in the
winter the ice crop is harvested the
better, as the cost is less and the
quality superior. Here in Colorado if
we do not secure our ice crop in Jan
uary we cannot count on a harvest ut
