 becomes much more responsible.

Achi eff Dispatcher. A

The Century:
 The chief train dispatcher handles the power" distributes the cars to the various stations. decides what freight trains shall he run. and is in inmedi- ate charge of the countless details that arise In the operation of trains The duties of the superintendent and the trainmaster keep them away from the office about half the time, travelling up and down the line stopping over night at importa Tt stations and terminals. The chief dispatcher is always at headquarters. and is the man of details. He Is assisted by trick dispa tcher" for each dispatchlng district. Like the sentinels at Gibraltar. the three trick dispatchers never leave their post un- guarded. It may happen for a few minutes some Sunday night that there IS not a train runnin.

Utilizing then Suns Energy.

Prof. Thurston in Cassier's Magazine
 The uncertainty which the engineec feels regarding the solar motor is du largely to the difficulties arising frori the fact that the sun Is not always available. even by day. and that it Is entirely out of the reach for power pur '. poses for one-nalf of the 24 hours, an l he has as yet no idea of practical meth ? ods of storage. either of the heat ot the power. for use during cloudy per . iods. hours days and weeks even. whe the engine cannot be kept in steady ac . ton. 1t is, of course, possible tha [ much improvement may be effected fA the electric storage battery, and it Is even true that great improvements fA that precious device are apparently al rady in sight: but even the ideal anl perfected battery could 1t be realized. would probobly prove so costly and so enormous. as part of this system ae sun power utilization, as to make It's use practically out of the question il temperate regions where the sky Is overcast so often that not over oflc- half the direct heat of the sun is each day, on the average, available, or in the tropics where the rainy season makes it unavailable for months to- gether.

This varis- bility is an enormous handicap where 1t Is sought to employ this energy. The remark Is attributed to Prof. Langley that all the coal deposits of Pennsyi- vania. if burned in a single second. would not rberate a thQusandth part as much heat as does the surface of the sun in that unit of time. Yet It is evident that our coal deposits so long as they last, are worth more to us than all the available heat of the sun.

''ELLEN
THE WHISPERINCS OF
AN OLD PINE"

a philosophical novel by Joseph Bat
tell, author of 1.-THE Morgan Horse and
Register "The Horse" money and the
Money Power" etc, etc.
Not since Copernicus, when he attacked
and overthrow the Ptolemaic system of
astronomy, has so-called science been so
roughly handled as in this work. For
this novel demonstrates that a large part,
if not the larger part, of science as taught
today in all the schools and colleges in
the world is entirely erroneous. In this
criticism is included besides many minor
features, all the undulatory theories,
so-caled. Instead of these absurd and
impossible theories, 1T is shown that there
is but one law in the domain of nature
by which things are made; sound, heat,
| light, color, magnetism and electricity.

The most lifelike and serviccable ar
tifcial legs in the world are manufac-
tured in America. Enormous quanti-
ties of these limbs are shipped to Eu
rope every year.
The first great boom in the artificial
leg business was brought about by the
civil war. Since that time railroad and
trolley car accidents have kept up an
ever increasing demand. Another fac
tor has been the general use Of antiSep-
tics The mortality among those who
have their legs amputated is far less
than formerly, and large proportion
of the survivors become patrons of the
wooden leg factories.
The old fashioned peg leg is practical
~ thing of the past. The modern ar
tifical leg shows n great advance over
the old forms. Every improvement has
been with the idea of greater simple
1ty.
The main object of the manufacture
ers is to improve the fit of the legs.
The best models now cost 500. 1t
costs from So to SO a year to keep one
of these in order.
Few women wear artificial legs. On
the other hand, it is becoming more
common to fit limbs TO children. Legs
are made for children sometimes be-
fore they can walk. They are fitted as
soon as the child learns to stand and
make 1t possible for it to develop sym.
metrically.

The GalIoping White Hcarse.

1t was in the dark of the evening,
and the streets We're thronged with
men and women on their way home at
the end of the days work At Thirty
fourth street, where Broadway and
Sixth avenue cross with n network of
tracks, the usual clangor of gongs, the
shouts of newsboys and the roar of the
elevated trains filled the air, while
myriad electric lights sparkled like so
many stars.
Suddenly out of the gloom came a
little white hearse, being driven rapid
ly home. It's sad days work was over,
and the little horses we're probably
anxious for their dinner. Still it gave
one shock to see them galloping So.
Even more pathetic it looked when
empty than with its precious little bur-
den. The very emptiness spoke Of the
vacant little chair at home, the unused
toys, the unworn frocks folded away
for some woman to cry over on rainy
day.
Fathers hurrying home to their own
little ones felt a sudden lump in the
throat, mothers leading their children
grasped the little hands with quick
access of tenderness, and q strange
sad sense of loneliness came to the
heart of the passerby who had no child

ing darkness by the hurrying throng

Enormous Wheat Crop.

careful canvass of the northwest terrific
ry and preparing conservative estimates
upon the conditions found throughout the
grain belt, traffic officials of the ST, Paul,
the Northwestern and the Burlington sys'
tens are agreed that the wheat crop OF
this region for 1901 will break all pre-
vious records. According to the estimates
of those officials it is claimed that the
two Dakotas and Minnesota alone will
harvest between 1S5,000,000 and 200
600 600 bushels of wheat as against 100,
600, 900 last year. The greatest previous
yield of wheat in the three states named
was in 1898, when 175,0O0,O00 bushels
were harvested.

Just Making Sure.

to have troublesome tooth extracted.
Said the dentist after looking at the Of
Tending molar:
ut is very ugly one. / would ad-
wise you to .haveht out by the painless
system. Itas'only atshillingtextra."
He showed the acknowledgements
for administering gas, .remarking that
1t would causethim'to fall asleep for a
minute, and before he awoke the tooth
would be out. After a slight resistance
the sufferer consented, proceeding to
open his purse.
"Oh, never mind paying just now!'
said the dentist kindly.

Scot "A wasn't thinking O. that. But

These truths sooner or later must
be universally accepted, and will
force the reconstruction of science
upon new lines. The old text books will
have to go.
The work also shows logically and un-
nswerably that the principle of evolu-
ton, as taught by scientists, is not true,
but instead that of special creation as the
Bible teaches.
The book is dedicated to the American
people, who are thus made the Jury of
decision for questions of so great moment
to all.
