RAILROAD NOTES.
Some Facts Obtained by Senti.
mel Representative Upon a
Visit to the Shops this
Morning.

There are some extensive improve
ments being made at the railroad shops
in this city. due to the fact that the for
mer facilities we're totally inadequate for
the volume OF business now being G. +
ried on over the lines centsring her- On
The bridge and building deI.,dol;-.s
is at work on the round house, ..cn is
being enlarged by being extended and
new floors pat in. New pits have been
put in what is known ~ the new round
house, which formerly had none.
The shop machinery has been added
to by the placing in position of large
new wheel lathe, same to be used for the
turning OF tires and wheels for the broad
gauge engines. Indications also point
to an snlars ement Of what is termed the
back shop facilities for general repairing
OF all classes OF engines here, something
that, by reason OF the limited facilities,
has never been attempted here be fore.
This in turn will be tho means Of giving
employment to a greater mechanical
force than at any time previously, and,
as consequence, a much larger pay roll,
which il a matter Of personal interest to
everyone in Grand junction.
Dave Strushers has been enjoying .
ten.day lsy-off. His engine, No. GIT,
has been in the shop for repairs.
Master Mechanic 6truthers 10 to be
congratulated upon the appearance OF
the tracks and promises about tho round
house and shops. The repair track is
remarkably clear OF all bad order cars
and the universal appearance is that of
cleanliness.
The Aspen branch engine is vacant
owing to the fact that Truthful Joe"
Lane has been transferred to tho main
line. No one has yet applied for the en-.
gine, but someone will be appointed to it
in day or two.
The entire force OF men in the shops
and yards were at work this morning,
and everything was moving along very
nicely.
The new ice house, being built in this
city, will have capacity Of 5000 tons.
The ice for refrigeration purposes will be
cut here il the supply is sufficient. but
all that for use in tanks and for other
similar purposes will be shipped here
and packed from the Gunnison.
The local officials speak very highly of
the ability and character Of the switch
men, who went out on the strike from
the yards in this city. They believe the
switchmen were led into the strike
through misrepresentation of tho stu
alton. Tho vacancies caused by tho
strike have all boon filled.
Harry Huddleston's engine, known ~
"The Only 519," is In the repair shop
for few days.
William Mostsy, one Of the car repair
srs, is the only man who is on duty on
account OF sickness. Mr.. Mostey has
been seriously i'll with typhoid fever, but
10 improving.
A new floor is being laid in what is
known a. both the old and the new
round houses.

PLUMBER BUCKLEY WILL
SUE THE CITY OF MOLINE,

Plum Der j. j. Buckley will begin
suit in the circuit court of Rock Is
land county against the city of Mo-
line for damages, says the Sterling
Gazette. He is Sterling contractor
and that paper adds the following:
"Mr. Buckley, of the firm of Buck,
ley & Roath, of this city. recently &C.
cured q contract in Moline to do the
plum bling in a drug store and a fiat
erected by G. G Coyne there, and
when he went to Moline he saw the
city inspector and made application
to be permitted to do the work on
the fat. Inspector Grant, wanted to
charge Mr.. Buckley S. for a permit
and the application and $25 for Ii
cense and also require him 10 give
81, 900 bonds. Mr.. Buckley said that
he had state license and did not
need city license, and went ahead
with the work.
"He was arrested Saturday morn
ing and the authorities did not put
him in jail. As Mr.. Buckley desired
to complete the work he took out a
city license. but says that he will
sue the city for arresting two of his
men Tuesday aud himself. and the
delay and hindrauoe caused by the
arrests, which he claims. are illegal,
so long as he held state li,onse."

You are skeptical about the accuracy
of this statement and ask why water
does not leak from a bottle il there are
holes in everything? The answer is
simple enough-the drops or globules
of water are bigger than the holes.
Taking glass as an illustration, we find
that air is about the only substance
that can get through those holes.
A scientist proposes the following as
an experiment: Place bell in bottle
exhausted of air and hermetically
sealed. The bell will not ring because
the medium for conveying sound Is not
there.
Set the bottle aside for few months,
then try the bell again, and it will ring.
family, perhaps, but nevertheless there
will be a sound. That means that the
air has got in 1t has made it's way
through the holes in the glass.
The incandescent lamp is bulb OF

der filament may glow when the cleo

comes less brilliant In .proportion. .s---

SHE WALKED TO SHORE:
GIRL FALLS OUT OF BOAT

Two Rock Island couples out for a
stroll last evening bent their steps
toward the river. At the levee q
skiff was moored and into this the
young folks climbed and spent q
pleasant hour in the soft moonlight.
Finally the mumuriDg mosquitoes
prevailed upon them to move on and
they rose to do so. The light boat
wobbled, one of the young women
shrieked and the next instant the
others were struck dumb to see her
struggling in the chilly water. When
she righted herself. however. it was
seen that there was but three feet of
wetness about her. and she gained the
bank while the young men were col
lecting their senses or course there
was nothing for the latter to do but
go home dry and now the young
lady's escort is the sorest man in
town.

The Land1ubber Ducks of sahara.


THE proverbial fondness of ducks
for water would lead one to presup-
pose that of all the world the most des-
titute of ducks would be the Sahara
desert and that if a stray 'springtaiP

would either vamoose or turn up his
toes with briefest delay. Well, not at

merly n resident of Tunis.
There are parts of the desert where
ducks abound, flourish and multiply
with every evidence OF perfect salts
faction. The fowl Is slightly different
from any OF the varieties we know in
this country, but it has the same fiat
bill, extensive breast and web feet,
showing that it was once a water bird.
though now it scarcely finds enough to
drink and has become too provident to
waste any of the precious fluid in ablu
tions. Like the other good Mussulmans
of the country. they take their prescrib-
ed bath in the sand. and their web feet
come in very handy as snowshoes to
walk upon the deep yielding dust. 1t
is claimed by an eminent French orni-
biologist that the Saharan ducks are
the remains Of race of aquatic birds
which frequented those seas when the
present desert was part of the Allan
tic ocean,"
