Extending Texas Lines.

It is believed in railroad circles that
the extension of the Pecos Valley road
south IS an assured fact. The road, if
built, would cross the Rio Grande riv-
err about 225 miles east of Ell Paso and
penetrate one of the richest grazing
districts in Mexico. One effect of the
line would be to stimulate the trade of
the large stockmen of Northern Mex
leo with Galveston, as the connection
made with the Southern Pacific would
bring them about 500 miles nearer that
port than at present. The extension
of the Texas Central from Albany to
Stamford, a distance of forty miles, is
being pushed rapidly ahead. Two
shifts of laborers are being worked on
the construction, and the track has
been laid about six miles northwest
from Albany. The completion of the
extension will result in increased freight
business for the Texas Central, as the
road will pass through new territory.
The engineering corps, which Is to run
a line fl ON Cedar station to Athens,
began the work today, and will run the
survey in the direction of Rusk or
Jacksonville. The road is to be known
as the Texas & New Orleans. The
stockholders of the company hold q
meeting in Houston September 20, at
which time contracts for grading the
road from Athens to Cedar will be let.
From Athens it is not known yet just
where the road will go.-Globe-Demo-

Indian Wisdom.

Some curiously illuminative exam
pies of Asiatic subtlety and supersti-
ton are set down in the Diary kept
chiefly in southern India, which the
Right Hon. Sir M. E. Grant-Duff has
recently published. One follows-the
appeal of Christianized native
against a fine imposed by a British
judge: Your honor may be right
said the native, 81 may be wrong; 1
may be right, honor wrong. Let honor
give me back the fine, and then at Gay
of resurrection, when all hearts will
be open, if 1 am wrong, 1 will most
gladly, sir, return your honor the
money" 1t is perhaps needless to
state that his honor did not agree to
this extension of mercy. From the
same source comes an illustration of
the peculiar bias of justice in the
Asiatic states. A native Judge, in the
district of Canaan, used, when the
time to give his judgment came, to
count the flies on the punka. If the
number was even, he gave it for the
plaintiff, if odd, for the defendant.

NOVEL MA
In Which the Popularity of a Telephone
Box Was Spoiled.

In Which the Popularity of a Telephone
Box Was Spoiled.
Chicago Chronicle: No sign had
ever been tackled above the door of
the county comptroller's office inviting
persons of a laxative nature to trip
across the Brussels carpet and use the
telephone that had been secured for
the exclusive use of the occupants. But
Chief Clerk Mccarthy had proved of
an indulgent disposition, and after a
dozen or more requests had been made
for the service of the wire folks forgot
all about asking permission and locked
themselves in the telephone room,
never dreaming that men on the comp
troller's staff had even occasional wants
for the apparatus. Mr.. Mccarthy did
not lose his temper, but his subordi-
mates became very angry, and, after
holding an indignation meeting re-
Gently, resolved to put a stop to the
indiscriminate use of their quarters.
A hole was bored in the top of the
telephone booth and a cylinder with
stop attachment placed directly above
the mouthpiece. A string running
from the slide in the bottom of the
cylinder controlled the internal ma
chine. Flour was placed in the Chin
ney-looking article, and upon the oc-
cupancy of the booth a half-quart of
the white stuff was dropped on the
neck of the introduer. Within half an
hour there was a marked falling off in
the patronage of the telephone, and
before noon no one could be persuaded
to use the room.

WORDS OF BOSTON ORIGIN.
Some Expressions That Have Bee1s
Coined in That City.


From the Boston Transcript: At
the meeting Of the Bostonian society
in the old statehouse c. w. Ernst de-
ivered an interesting talk on the sub
ject, Words Coined in Boston" Mr..
Ernst said that Gov. Andres intro
duced among other unsalutary things
the term your excellency," as applied
to the governor. The speaker claimed
the word "boss' was first used by
man named Gardner, who came in a
ship from the North sea in charge of
some mechanics. The word help,
meaning a person hired to assist, is
Bostonian, and was considered very
honorable appellation. Mr.. Ernst men
toned the following as having had
their origin in Boston: Real estate
''corder," "dockage," "measurer of
wood" advice and consent" "mixed
drinks" blooming board" tran
sients," referring to hotel accommoda-
ton, used as early as 1909 in per-
mission given by the selectmen of Bos-
ton; "fire ward" Elk" stormy" in
the Boston sense of rainy, cloudy, but
not necessarily implying wind;
blanks" in the sense of 'blank
FORMS; Climbs" apr lied to both arms
and legs and desc fibed as being pc
culiar; "depreciating currency "fuc-
tuating currency" and promoter"
claimed by the speaker to have been
first introduced in treatise on finance
by DR.. Douglas; Boston brown
bread" first used in 1746 in descrip-
ton of baked mixture of rye or wheat
with Indian meal; Assortment" re-
placing an original sentiment; the use
of the "store" for "shop"; goodies"
factory" for mandatory" in 1767;
also in the revolutionary and post
revolutionary period various phrases,
including continental congress-" Mr..
Ernst described "block" and police
as terms originating in Boston, saying
that the police were thus named here
long before the term was applied to
them in England. He held that bind
ery'' was coined in Boston; also that
the telephone "hello" went from here
to all parts of the world. "Teamster"
was Boston coined; so was "bicycler.'
Democrat" had it's origin in Philadel-
phia in 1893, and was first used to de-
scribe party policy in E. on in 1904.

Most Dazzling City in the World.

The whitest city in the world is
Cad1z. There cannot possibly be a
whittier, unless it be built of snow. The
best way to approach the port is to
take strip on one of the small steam
ers which ply between the ports of
Morocco and Spain. AS you near the
coast you see in front of you a white
mass which appears to be floating upon
the water, just as you are. The first
thought of a foreigner is that he is in
sight of an iceberg. The white mass,
glittering in the sun and rendered more
dazzling by the blue sea and sky, looks
exactly like a monster ice mountain
partly melted, SO that outlines of cas-
ties ans hills appear upon it; but only
for ? second does the illusion last, for
you know there are no icebergs in that
part, and you are quickly informed
that you are looking at Cadiz No
other town in the world presents such
magic appearance

CRUDE PETROLEUM FOR FUEL
Proves Ar Economy On the South
ern California Road.

Crude petroleum Is now being used
for fuel in the engines of the Southern
California road, one of the Santa Fe
system lines. This new departure in
the way of fuel has been experimental
with for several weeks, and has given
excellent results. There is promise of
it being farther adopted on the Santa
Fe system. if it is possible to secure 1t
cheap enough 10 be q paying invest
nent.
That petroleum is good substitute
for coal, and even excels coal as fuel
in many respects, is no longer denied.
That it has many good qualities and
Gun successfully take the place of coal,
has been proven by the many expert
ments of the past few weeks, and at
the present time several engines are
running on the Southern California
road which use petroleum.
Engine No. 81, an eight wheel coupl-
ed consolidated engine, arrived in
Topeka Friday night from the Baldwin
Locomotive Works. The engine is of
the heavy type and ia especially built
for freight service on mountain grades.
Another engine of similar build is ex-
pected to arrive today, and Immediate
ly on its arrival, the two engines will
be sent west for service on the South
ern California road. These engines
are petroleum burning engines aud are
fitted with tenders of large size and
formed into compartments for holding
oil and water.
The petroleum burning engines are
built like all engines with the excep-
ton that they have several extras nee
essary for the use OF petroleum for
fuel. These extra attachments consist
mainly of fire brick arch in place of
the usual CRATES and such pipes as are
necessary to convey the oil from the
tender to the fire box. The tenders
are made the same appsrsntly as all
engine tenders, except that where the
coal is usually carried, this space is en-
closed and used for holding the petro.
leum. This gives space with capa-
CITY of about 500 gallons of crude petro-
leum and a space around this for hold
ing about 4, 500 gallons of water.
A pipe connection between the pc
troleum receptacle and the fire box is
made and the petroleum is forced
steam jet, which mixes with the oil
and forming vapor, produces a more
powerful combustion. This is very
simple, and at a glance it can be seen
how much easier handled it Is than
coal. The fireman ia not compelled to
handle 10 or II tons of coal on the run,
and there Ia an absence of all dust and
dirt, which always accompanies the
coal. By mere turning of valve,
the flow of oil may be increased or
as becomes necessary and
consistent with heavy upgrade work or
level track. Again the temperature
can be regulated SO closely that it will
vary but few degrees. In addition
to this, the fireman has more time to
look after his engine, as well as being
on the lookout while on the run.
The Southern California road is we'll
for the adoption of petroleum
IS fuel, as the country is beautifully
supplied with oil wells and it Is so
cheap that it is economy to use it.
This fact. coupled with the many adj
vantages derived from its use, gives
good grounds for it's adoption on that
line as fuel on the locomotives

To Gather In the Engineers

Another effort will be made to bring
the national organization of the Broth
erhood of Locomotive Engineers into
the ranks Of the international Order in
Railway Men. The international Or
e anizstion was affected two years ago
In St. Louis, the Brotherhood of Rail
way Trainmen, the Order of Railroad
photographers becoming mem bers. At
that time An effort was made to get the
engineers into the fold, but the men
who handle the throttle did not crown
the effort. There was q general feeling
that the engineers would realize the
strength of the major organizations too
keenly to remain out of 1t. At that
time, however, 1t was agreed that the
action taken was not to be final. 1t
was decided to give the matter further
consideration.
There is on foot now movement to
Meetings, in which the engineers are
to participate, are being called in var
ious parts of the land. Some of the
meetings will be held this week, one
of the important ones taking place at
Pueblo, Col. yesterday. AT these
meetings no official action can be tax
en-, but resolutions may be adopted and
sent to the general meeting of the in
ternatioual organization. 1t is said
that the resolutions will heartily solicit
the mem bership of the engineers Or
der. The engineers are said to be will
ing to enter the order now. and that at
the next m Meeting of the international
organization, which is to DE held at
Milwaukee in the spring of next year,
they will vote 'yea."
The mem bership of the international
organization is about 100000 and the
engineers have SON ething like $1,000
