Warren Crane, switchman for the
Chicago and Northwestern Railroad
Company, took a leap of twenty-five feet
at Kaukauna and escaped with only a
slight sprain in one of his feet. Mr..
Crane was on the top of freight car,
which was being pushed on the high tres
tie at the company's coal sheds. The
car was partly run off the back end of
the trestle by being crowded too far,
and was just on the point of balancing
over when he made his leap to escape the
greater danger Of falling with the car.
The car did not leave the track, however,
being held from falling by the coupling
and the weight Of the train.

Travelling in Colonial Days.

After the period of walking and
canoeing had its day in colonial times,
nearly all land travel, for a century,
was on horseback, Just as it was in
England at that date. In 1872, there
were only six stage coaches in the
whole of Great Britain, and a man
wrote pamphlet protesting that they
encouraged too much travel. Boston
then had one private coach. Women
and children usually rode seated on
pill1on behind man. One way OF
progress which would help four per-
sons ride part of their journey was
what was called the 'sride-and-tie"
system. Two of the four persons who
were travelling started on their route
on foot; two, mounted Oh the saddle
and pilllon, rode about mile, dis
mounted, tied the horse. and walked
on. When the two who had started
on foot reached the waiting horse they
mounted, rode on past the other couple
for a mile, dismounted, tied and
walked on; and so on.

MADE A HIT on WEATHER
NOVEL METHOD OF ATTRACTING
PEOPLE TO PACIFIC COAST.
Southern Pacific Inaugurates a Sys-
TEN of Bulletins in Chicago Dur
ing Hot Spell.

The Southern Pacific officials in Chi
cago have made a hit, previously never
thought of, and as a result there has
been an increase in the passenger traf-
fic to the Pacific coast during the past
week or SO.
When the weather became so ex-
tremely hot and the Chicago people
were sweltering and many of them af
flicted with sunstrOke, bulletin SER
vice was inaugurated at the Southern
Pacifics city ticket Office on Clark
street showing the maximum tempera
ture in the principal cities of the Unit
ed States. San Francisco headed the
list on one of the hottest days, with q
temperature of IS degrees, while other
cities showed temperatures above 100
degrees.
Few people were aware before of the
striking climatic conditions, and until
the weather bureau report was con-
suited the difference in favor of San
Francisco was not believed.
