The use of track tanks by which To-

trains may take water without stop
ping Is almost universal on the larger
Eastern roads, where fast expresses are
the rule. The B. & o. R. R. has a
number between Washington and Phil
adelphia and intends to equip the en-
tire Main Line in the future. This de-
cision was recently arrived at through
the use OF passenger locomotives,
equipped with water scoops, on fast
freight trains. 1t was found that much
time was saved, danger from stopping.
being reduced to a minimum and cost
of running lessened. The extra stops
for water take much time and the wear

that probably has no fellow in the

sloping downward, through which
passes huge, slightly inclined tree

Five burros walk lazily uphill all day

from beyond the great wall, who scorn
and hate and secretly fear the masses
of Chinese more than any other en-

the arms of Russia through fear of the
Chinese; who have bargained that
Russia shall send soldiers to their aid

WHICH DESERVED THE MONEY!
A Queer Outcome to ..Keeping-Awake"
Wager.

Lazarus Kildooley and Jeremiah
o'Hare are both retired night watch
men, spending the twilight of their
lives amid the peaceful surroundings
of Conshohocken. Kildooley, to use
his own words, is the "wide-awakest
man in the borough" statement
which O'Hare has strenuously dis
puted, says the Philadelphia Record.

to play a friendly game of three

The next morning at Z o'clock Mrs.
McGrogan went to see how the match
was progressing, and was astonished
to find the trio fast asleep. their heads
resting on a card-littered table. The
referee was awakened without much
difficulty, but the two ex-night-watch-
men were dead to the world, and were
even put to bed without arousing from
their slumbers. 1t was well on toward
noon before they finally woke up, and
now everybody in Conshohocken is
wondering who got the money.

One of the incidents of the recent
elections that deserves notice is the
employment of voting machines in
Brooklyn. The New York Evening
Post chronicles the statement that they

Brooklyn's vote was very full and 1t
was recorded without friction or de-
lay, enabling the full totals for the en-
tire city to be accurately known with

polls.

lost his vote in consequence.
The result is said to have proved
entirely satisfactory to all honest
Brooklymtes and is calculated to
greatly strengthen the faith of all sim

Voting machines have been tried be.

which nobody can tamper with has
been demonstrated, but never SO COM
