for the Department on the work OF the

chief question now interesting the pro

serum to combat the disease. The most
promising work in this connection Is that
of Doctor Behring. one of the m1st prom

results obtained by DR.. Behrfng have
attracted the attention Gf the medical
world, and are being pushed as rapidly as
is consistent with careful scientific work.
The profession sees no reason why the

should not revoluticilize the mortality
rate in consumption as much as has the
development of the anti-toxine OF Dip

For in- stance it is shown that the most con- mon name on the Emerald Isle is Mur- phy, the number of persons, great and small, who bear the cognomen being e2,6O0.

FLYING ENGINES TAKE WATER.
Tanks Are Replenished While the Loco.
 motive Is Making Speed.

On many of the railroads centering at Chicago it is no longer necessary for a train to stop to enable the engineer to replenish his boilers with water. All travellers have now become accustomed to seeing the narrow trough, 1,200 to 1,400 feet long, at various dead level points along the road and they know that the strip of water which it con- tains is scooped up by the engine as it speeds over the tracks But people from foreign countries often ask ques- tions about the water between the tracks and marvel when they hear the story about drinking" the engine on the fly. What seems marvellous me- chanical contrivance is an extremely simple thing. A pipe with a scoop end is fastened to the tender. It is 0 shaped, with the top end pointing into the water tank and the bottom curled under the body of the tender. By a series of levers this end may be dropped until it reaches the level of the ties. When the engine reaches the trough the fireman drops the scoop Si1d, WAlOH IS OT2 luCuSS Al6a anu 11 inches wide, into the trough, into which it sinks distance of about six inches or within an inch of the bottom. It may wabble slightly without doing any harm, because the trough is "A inches wide. Dropping the end is all that is done, for the motion of the en- zine does the rest. The water rushes into the pipe and thence into the tank with rush and force that suggests to the uninitiated the use of powerful en- zines. "The most remarkable thing about the water-taking scoop" said railroad official, "is the fact that the speed Of the train must be reduced when the water is taken on. IL reaches the bend in the pipe with such force that if the train were allowed to go at it's regular speed the metal would be seriously strained, so we reduce the speed to about thirty miles an hour and have the best results" While the engine is passing over the trough at the rate of thirty miles an hour 1t takes up about 4,000 gallons of water about as much as would be contained jn 100 spirit barrels. tssgA
