enteen thousand tons of SO pound
steel rails have been placed in the
track, and there are still $4,000 tons to

count of rush of orders at the mills.
The company has also put in lbs miles

out 200 miles more during the season,
and it is hoped by Fall that the track
will rank as the best in the west. A
great many grade reductions and
changes in line are also being made
between Cincinnati and ST. Louis. The
purpose is to make uniform one-half

the line is to be shortened a mile and

DEAD SPOTS.

without Causing Pain.
Most people have doubted their eyes
when at some conjuring performance
they have seen a man run needles and
pins through both cheeks. evincing no
pain as he does so. In reality every
person has hundreds of senseless
specks of senseless skin all over his
body through which he could run pins.
or even cut them out, without feeling
pain. If someone else were to do so
when he was blindfolded he would not
be even aware of the fact. Physicians
call them dead spots; and the reason
that one man can sew his cheeks up,
while another could not. is simply be-
cause the former happens to have
many hundreds of these spots in one
place These dead spots are caused by
the minute nerves which convey every
sensation to the brain being either abb
sent in these particular places or dead
and senseless. But should any one OF
our readers allow himself to be blind
folded, and then get one of his friends
to prod him gently with clean needle,
say all on one arm. out of every hun
dred pricks he will feel only about six
ty or seventy at the most. In the other
