present Baltimore & Ohio manage
ment ought to be proud of the rec.
ord made at Chicago, where it is
openly admitted that the new ROYAL
Blue Line trains are the finest that
enter the Grand Central depot.
Since the repulntihg and remodc-
ling Of the rolling stock the Bulti-
more q Ohio has earned quite a
reputation for fine looking passen-
ger trains, but when the people at
the Grand Central az Chicago
openly admit that the Baltimore e.
Ohio has the finest trains entering
the building the managers ought to
be clatcd. The praise given the
Baltimore ~ Ohio at the windy eity
Is deserved, as the new trains are
certainly very neat ntcriorly and

are the finest TO be seen in Chicago.

DO Metals Become Tired.

Various instances are on record where
metals, while not showing any apprecia-
BILE wear, have literally fallen to pieces,
and that without any assigned cause.
On one occasion a steel rail, after 81
years continuous service on the Grea t
Northern railway in England, actually
dlsintegrated under the wheels of a
passing train. So complete was the
breaking up that scientists thought it
worthy of investigation, during which
it was determined that the metal had
become exhausted and had broken
down, just as an overstrained animal
might be expected to do. This has led
to further inquiry, and scientists are
satisfied that metals do become tired
out. Fine cracks often appear in steel
rails and it has been supposed that they
are caused by the continuous conclusion
Of railway wheels. This, however,
seems to be contradicted by the ex-
aminati of newly -made rails, in which
similar fine lines occur. The idea that
metals become weary, while not alto
gether a new one, is to an extent a
plausible one, and under the careful
scrutiny of scientific societies will prob
ably be satisfactorily explained and set
tled.-N. Y. Ledger.

MIGRATING WEEDS.
Many Ways I'm Which They Travel
from One Section to Another.

A large proportion of plants grow.
ing along roadsides, on waste ground.
and in plowed fields, in the older cult
,ated parts of this country, are migra.
tory weeds. They are not native where
they are now found, but have appeare;!
since the introduction of cultivation.
They have come from other countries
or from other places in this country,
There can be no doubt of the fact that
the plants which have become weeds OF
the farm have spread more through
the agency of man than through all
of the natural agencies combined. Man
tills the soil, subdues the native vege-
tation and creates the conditions I'M
del which plants become weeds. He
also introduces and distributes the
seeds, unintentionally, in most cases.
Seeds, bulbs and root stocks of weeds
arc too often carried in nursery stock
or among garden plants. Nut grass
was introduced into Arkansas with
strawberry plants from New Orleans.
ard into Southern California with
orange trees from Florida. 1t is said
to have been first introduced into this
country with garden plants brought
from the West Indies. Wild onion has
been introduced into many lawns, from
Philadelphia to Atlanta, in sods used
in making the lawns. 1t was introduced
into northeastern Ohio among bulbs of
grape hyacinth brought from the At
lantic coast.
Weed seeds are often transported in
the packing of crockery and glassware.
The cheaper grades of imported crock
cry are usually packed in cheap hay or
straw, in which the presence of seeds
may be taken as a matter of course.
Upon reaching America this crockery
usually passes through the hands Of
the wholesaler and jobber to the re
taller without repacking, thus gaining
a wide distribution. When It is finally
uppacked the hay or straw is often
thrown out on a vacant lot, or, still
verse, is used for stable bedding and
then hauled out to the fields with the
manure. The woolly mullen, native in
France, is supposed to have been intro
duced at Dckey's Mill, KY, in crock
cry packing. Two species of long
awned chess, both European grasses,
were first found at Denver, Col, in the
vicinity of crockery Washing
ton Post.
