The viagraph is a newly-invented ma
chine for accurately determining the
INEQUALITIES CT q road surface. 1t re
sembles q sledge, and in principle is a
straight edge applied continually to the
read on which it may be drawn. The
machine carries a roll Of paper which
receives the impression Of two pencils.
One Of these is fixed and marks per
fectly straight line, while the other
rises and falls according TO the vari-
ations of the surface. These variations
are transmitted by serrated wheel
which travels en- the road surface and
is attached to one end OF a lever which is
pivotod in the center. At the opposite
end of the lever is the second pencil,
and as the wheel rises and falls with
the undulations Of the road surface the
pencil rises and falls correspondence
thus making an infallible record Of the
surface. The viagraph has been e2--
tensivclv used in England, where its
records have been frequently used by
bicycIsts for the purpose Of showing
the authorities how much sonc roads
are in need Of repair. Such record IS
the more valuable as piece OF testi-

A LlUN'S iUuIuACHE.
How Successful Job in Dentistry of
an Uncommon Kind ~ Ss
Performed.

How it happened the keepers of Cen
tral park, New York, cannot tell. but
one day the lion was sick. IT was dur
ing the early rainy days of spring when
neuralgia was an everyday complaint;
and so no one thought it strange that
the king of beasts should suffer from
Il malaise along with his subjects. the
less pretentious animals of the Central
park menagerie.
But an observant small boy happened
along that morning. and when lie saw
the lion put his paw to his cheek and
groan, that boy knew that the lion had
toothache. Nothing else" he told
the keeper. 'could bring such a look of
awful pain to the face of man or beast.
Now. the keepers are humane sort of
people, and, after they had watched the
antics of the lion for an hour, they de-
cided with the small boy that ii GER
1anly was the tcothache.
They held a consultation. and in
that consultation they decided it WI.
best to pull the lions tooth. For.
reasoned they, "he will not use tooth
ache drops"
Next came the problem OF pulling the
tooth. All the dentists within Il i,1lg
radius of Central park were teleiihoned
for, but each refused most emphat-
ically to pull the tooth of the lion They
described over the telephone exactly
how it should be done. but when asked
TO come and perform the operation,
they one and all pleaded a previous
engagement.
So the keepers had to perform the
job themselves. They lassosd the great
fellow and pulled him out of the cage
lie came reluctantly, straining upon his
ropes, for he seemed TO know that Il
fresh pain was in store for him. But
lie kept on groaning, which showed
that his toothache did not let up even
with the presence of three dentists.
When they had thrown him upon a
stone floor and bound him limb to limb,
and had rebound his feet and fastened
them TO iron posts. they took Il big
plug of rubber and forced it into his

IMPROVED TOURIST sLEEpERs.

in response 20 the demands OF the
times the o. 4. G. n. and It's connea-
tiOus are placing In operation a much
better grade Of tourist sleepers for Pa
CiAc coast service than at any previous
time. The largely increased traffic to
this section Of the country has demand
ed all the Improvements OF latter-day
transportation, and In consideration Of
this the railroads are establishing a
service which Is excellent IN every par
tlcuiar. Not only are the wishes Of
hrst-class passengers served, but those

on secoud-cass tickets are splendldly
cared for. There was q time when a

Of the term Now, however there has
been a radical change. With the bet
ter tourist sleepers In operation the
class OF passengers has been improved,
and one may now travel upon them
and enjoy all the privileges OF a first

Of beauty and handsome appointments.
The new cars are almost an exact
COUNTERPART Of the frst-class sleepers.
One noticeable feature Of the new
tourist cars Is tn absence Of a smoking
apartment. The new cars being built
by the Pullman Company are not pro-
vlded with smoking apartments. This
rev departure has been taken because
OF the fact that most through trains
are provided with composite cars, which
provide a smoker for the sleeping-car
passengers.
