tion from scientific standpoint, and
shows the fundamental principles upon
which the science is based.

exceptionally good ones for breeding
purposes, or for exhibition. All these
finer specimens will command the high

are disposed to pay the better prices

She asked the question the third time

Cold Weather Plays Havoc With
Axle Dynamo Belts,
Which Are a Large Factor in
Furnishing Lights
ON SANTA FE TRAINS
They Become Water Soaked,
Then Freeze and Crack.
III. A. Parker Named as W. HI.
Truesdale's Successor.

The Santa Fe has experienced great
trouble during the very cold weather
with the belts of the axle light dyna-
mos.
The power is transmitted from the
pulley on the axle to the dynamo by an
eight foot camels hair belt. During
the cold weather the belts become wa
ter soaked and then freeze, causing
them to break and wear out. The belts
freeze while the train is not running
and when they start again the belts are
so stiff that they crack.
The camePs hair belts are the best
that have been found for the purpose
of transmitting the power but expert
ments are being made to improve them.
While the road has had great trouble
with the belts the passengers have not
been at all Inconvenience from want Of
light for the wornout belts have been
changed at stations and the lighting
system has been kept constantly go
ing.
During the very cold weather the
belts would last but a comparatively
short time and when taken off would be
found practically cut to pieces by the
ice
