Petroleum in Paint ExplOdes,

Petroleum in Paint Explodes.
Explosions caused by paint mixed
with petroleum either are said to have
occurred frequently of late in England.
The mixture of petroleum either is
made to hasten the drying of the paint.
Aside from the recent accidents with
such paints in che interior of vessels,
attention is called to the fire in former
years On the man-of-war Dotterel,
where Isl persons lost their lives.
Hence great caution is recommended
in employing such paints. In closed
rooms their use should be entirely pro
hibited. Scientific American.

Experience of a Newton Man With an

A live buffalo, all alone in a freight
car, made the trip yesterday from
Goodnight, Texas, to Kansas City. He
was a ferociOus beast and had the rail-
road men all along the line pretty well
in awe of him.
The news was sent ahead to Newton
that the animal would arrive there in
time to be watered and the order furth-
er stated that no one should get in the
car where the beast was.
Harvey Moore was delegated to wa
ter the beast and he got a long hose
ready When the buffalo arrived he
took the hose and got up on the car
preparatory to throwing the water in
the car from the end door. He had just
reached the top of the car when the
buffalo made a dash for the end of the
car
Look out" shouted the crowd.
Moore did look out and got off that
car as fast as he could.
How will I water the brute?" he
asked.
Get on top of the building, said some
one.
Moore climbed to the top of the Ar
cade building and watered the animal

POOLING OF ENGINES.
Has Been Discontinued on Western

ed Each engineer and each fireman
prefers to run on the same engine day
for that engine. When a crew have their
own engine they take a pride in keeping
it neat and vie with each other in hav-
ing the best looking engine on the road.
The engineers predicted when the or
der went into effect that it would not
be a successful move and after
thorough test it seems that it has not
been. The idea in making the change
was to get more mileage out of the en-
gines and to lessen the number of en-
gineS in service.

go the clerks in the office of the board
of railroad commissioners were at work
pushing the report of the board. Sud-

every step with exclamation points,
When they reached the corridor they
had a long distance to travel before
they reached the outer entrance, but
luckily had no more furniture to en-
