TIMING YOUR TRAIN.
Ways In Which to Learn How Fast
Xou Are Travelling.

you Are travelling.
"There has been some picturesque
fiction written about the ease with
which railroad men and drummers are
supposed to tick off the miles as the
train speeds along from things they
can see from the car windows" said q
railroad conductor to a reporter
There Is only one strictly accurate
way and that is to seat yourself on the
side of the train from which may be
observed the white mile poses that line
the road and hold your wargeh on them
Ii you have a split second watch, il
will prove interesting to note that
while you made one mile in 60 seconds
the next was covered in 50 and the
third in 70 seconds and so on, as the
speed of the train increases or slack
ems. You may also follow around the
little second hand on an ordinary
watch. 1t kills time.
"Some pretend to say that they can
tell the speed of the train by counting
the telegraph poles. If there were an
exact number of telegraph poles to ev-
cry mile, this might be done by a little
figuring. but there is a difference. The
number of telegraph poles to mile
vary from 80 to 40, depending upon the
straight stretches and the curves in the
track, the latter having more poles
than the former. So, you see, it is not
as easy as the drummer would have
the other passengers believe.
IF the poles are planted 80 to the
mile, they are 100 feet apart and every
II passed represents a third Of mile.
If placed 40 to a mile, they are 1872 feet
apart, and every 30 represents half a
mile
These are easy figures to remember,
and by applying them on a journey a
passenger may obtain an idea more or
less accurate of the speed of the train
Another way is to attempt to count
the clicks of the wheels of the truck of
your car as they pass over the rails
where joined. The rails of the roads as
placed today are too evenly joined to
arrive at an exact determination by
this method, because if you miss two or
three joints your calculations are
thrown out as to accuracy.
However, there are railroad men
who cannot tell you the number of rails
to the mile of their own roads, and
rails vary in length, the average being
80 feet, some 33 feet and some 60 feet.
At 80 feet there are 176 rails to the
mile, and if you can count 176 consecu-
tive clinks as your train flies along you
may determine its speed and not other
wise Washington Star.

THREE SIMPLE QUESTIONS
And the Librarian Could Not Answer
One of Them.

anu aDC AOutO MOI answer
One of Them.
One day two well dressed young wo-
men approached the desk of the read
ing room of big library. One of them
took memorandum from her pocket
book
"Can you tell me how many yards
oh, that's the wrong listr' she said,
hastily bringing forth another slip of
paper. Here it is. Win you please
tell me who is Rudyard Kipling's ia
vorite authori'
Il am unable to tell you, never hav-
ing heard that he had one," admitted
one of the librarians.
Dear mel" said the young woman
irritably. "It is one of the questions
for our next club meeting. Well, which
one Of Thackeray's books brought him
the most ineome|
THAT you can probably find out by
consulting Il book, the nmber of which
l win give you said the official.
"Oh, | can't stop to look it up!' she
said hurriedly. Il thought you could
tell me at once. Well, there's one more
Manchester had splendid book when
l was there last year for anecdotes of
famous people. can't remember the
name of it or who wrote it, but it was
about so illustrating with one fin
ger on the desk and it has a dark
green cover. Now, can you tell me
what it is? Some day when | have
time | would like to get it out. Of
course you must have it in the libra
ry2"
For the third time the official was
obliged to confess his inability to give
her direct Information. She looked at
him with a piercing gaze and turned
away, saying audibly to her cempan-
ion:
There, that just shows what all this
talk about their being examined for
positions in libraries amounts to! Three
perfectly simple questions, all on liter
airy subjects, and he couldn't answer
one of misunderstanding Journal.
