HOW LOST CARS ARE FOUND.
Special Men Employed by he Rail
roads for This Purpose.

The car tracer is an essential produa;
of our modern railroad methods, and his
unique experiences are not wholly with
out interest to the general public Be-
fore services We're brought into requisi-
tion by the large railroads the number
of cars lost amounted to a great loss
in the course of year, and it was found
necessary to adopt system to prevent
these repeated losses The car tracer"
is without doubt OF great assistance to
the superintendent of freight traffic,
and as his business requires him to be
on the go all of the time he is probably
the most travelod mar on the railroad
Freight-cars have a peculiar weak
ness for getting lost, and as the ten
dency is to build larger and more eX-
pensive ones than formerly it is seri-
Gus business to lose dozen or two a
year. The large railroad companies
10 look after them, and when one has
been away for lsng time information
Is given him % look it UP and report
1t Is not always possible for the traffic
superintendent TO give the 'car tracer
anything more than approximate infor-
nation as to the whereabouts of the
missing car, bu. he is supposed to be
able to ferrit out the mystery and re-
store the property to its owners. His
detailed information may come over the
wires in this fashion: Freight car 1854
left for Houston, Texas, six months
ago. Not heard from since. Find out
cause"
! Now, the State of Texas is large, and
| there are hundreds Of miles of railroads
in it, and it Is no easy matter to pene-
| trate into the wilds of the lone star
state and find a solitary missing
freightcar. But the "car tracer" knows
that his services are valuable to the
company only because he is to accom-
plish something that seems next door
to impossible. HI has Il free pass
which carries him all over the lines
and he makes a systematic search OF
the whole State of Texas. On his men,
orandum he has notes about several
hundred cars scattered all over the
United States, and very likely there will
be some cars that have disappeared in
the state. Incidentally, he hunts these
up, and looks around generally in the
interests of his company He will get
off at some station where line OF
freghtcars is switched and will proba-
bly, find something to do, even though
he does not find lost car. Philadel-

A USEFUL PET CRANE.

A writer in the Cornhill Magazine
tells wonderful story Of pet crane,
or rather, of two pet cranes. He says:
"Their life in a German village, in
which agriculture was the sole employ
ment, and the communal system of
joint herding of cattle and swine, and
driving them together to the common
pasture, prevailed was very much to
their taste. They soon knew all the
inhabitants Of the place, and, until the
female crane died, used to call reg
ularly at the houses to be fed.
When the female died the survivor
at once took as new friend bull.
He would stand by the bull in the
stall and keep the flies off him, scream
when he reared, dance before him,
and follow him out with the herd. In
this association the crane saw and re-
marked the duties of the cowherd, and
one evening he brought home the whole
Of the village herd of heifers unaided
and drove them into the stable,
From that time the crane undertook
so many duties that 1t was busy from
dawn till night. He acted as policeman
among the poultry, stopping all fights
and disorder. He would stand by a
horse when left in a cart, and pre-
vent it from moving by pecking it's
nose and screaming. A turkey and q
gamecock were found fighting, where
on the crane first fought the turkey,
and then sought out and thrashed the
cock
Meanwhile it always herded the
cattle, not always with complete sue
cess. These were collected in the
morning by the sound of q horn, and
some would lag behind On one occa-
sion the crane went back, drove up
some tagging heifers through the
street, and then frightened them so
much that they broke away and ran
two miles in the wrong direction. The
bird could not bring them back, but
drove them into a field, where it guard
cd them till they were fetched. 1t would
drive out trespassing cattle as coura-
geously as dog, and, unlike most
busybodies, was universal favorite
and the pride of the village"
