Energy of Engines

An idea of the enormous energy ex-
pended in hauling passenger train on
any of the big time killing systems may
be gained from the run of the special
between Chicago and Denver. The fig
ures are TO graphic to be dry. The train
makes daily journey of ,046 miles and
the six engines which haul it consume
81 ,567 pounds, or more than forty tons
of coal. This is enough to keep even an
extravagant family in coal for the win
ter. Besides this, 52,53O gallons of water
are consumed. This is not enough to
supply the wants of Salt Lake for a day
but it would supply quite respectable
sized community.
To prevent hot boxes on the cars, as
result of fast running, lTe pounds OF
cotton waste and 704 pints OF lubricaiing
OIL are used on every trip. The same
amount of kerosene would keep family
supplied with oil for year. The amount
of cotton used IN this way for year is
thirty-two TONS The locomotives main
tain an average speed of from fifty to
sixty miles an hour and as high as sew
enty miles an hour is often attained
where the conditions permit.
Gould's special recently attained a
speed of eighty miles an hour on a
stretch of we'll ballasted and well graded
track between Chicago and Detroit. An
engine on such trip expends an energy
equal to 800 horsepower and at its high
est bursts of speed the amount of energy
expended is equal to 1000 horsepower.
II this amount of energy could be har-
messed it would run all the trolleys in

Engines Will Burn
Oil.

Oil as fuel has proved such success
on all the lines OF the Southern Pacific
that general orders have been Issued for
the conversion of all engines into oil
burners as soon as possible. Coal will
be abandoned absolutely. Within year
the Southern Pacific will be on an oil ba-
sis entirely. The order will affect all di
visions of the company. The Western
division is in the lead in the number of
oil-burning engines. The Sacramento
division comes next and the Los Angeles
division third. All of these divisions are
using oil for about one-third of the
traffic. The Western division now has
sixty three oil-burning engines There
remain eighty-three yet to be converted.
IL is estimated that within eight months
all of the engines will have been con.
verted and the use of coal on the West
ern division permanently abandoned.
1t requires on an average 1000 gallons.
or about twenty-four barrels, of oil for
every 100 miles, as compared with five
tons of coal. The saving on every 100
miles by using oil ranges from SIG to $50
Tue total saving for the 100000 miles
Travelled by oil burning engines repre-
sents from $4,000 to $4,000 per month
The company has expended upwards
of $5,000,000 for oil. The saving effect
ed will have paid for the enormous ex-
penditure long before all the engines
have been converted into oil-burners
On the Western division alone the saving
per moth when all the engines have
been converted will approximate $75-
900. When the other coast divisions use
oil exclusively the total sum saved will
be upwards of 100000 per month.

The Southern Pacific Company has
established tri- weekly stock shipping
service. Beginning on September 30th,
an engine will leave Terrace every Tues
day, Thursday and Saturday and pick
up the ct ock at all points between there
and Reno. This will be convenience
to sfockmen, providing the company
further improves its service by furnish
ing shippers with cars without della y

The Tapering Waist.

If tight lacing, for many reasons, is
questionable nOWadays-and it undoubt
edly is-one of the reasons is the short
skirt. Never does the pinched waist
look so pinched, and so inartistic, not to
say unnygienic, as with skirt of ankle
length A trail, or even a frock that
merely touches the ground, somehow re-
Eeves any tensity (and intensity of waist
line, but a short skirt brings out every
defect. Eyes unframed aesthetically can
perceive the incongruity of the belt meas
uring too few inches when it's an alb
brSviated skirt Mellow. The effect is al
most as bad as that other incongruity-
high heels, Louis heels, off the stage and
upon anybody but a soubrette are only
forgivafble with a trailing costume. The
thick-waisted figure is, of course, not at
tractive in short-skirted attire, but in
what kind of attire pray, is the thick
wasted figure ever attractive? Let no
woman of naturally slender waist make
the hideous mistake of drawing her
stays tight when she wears her snort
skirt. If she wants to realize how she
looks let her gaze upon some unfortun-
ate little girl whose mother believes in
small waists even with short skirts. The
principle and it's effects are the same

Care of ToiIet ArticIeS

In these days of luxurious toilet fittings
one is often surprised to see the careless

brushes are so generally mounted in

little boiled linseed oil after washing and
then rubbed with a soft buster till every

Tooth and nail brushes should always
stand in such a position that all water

PHARAOHs' CHILDREN's TOYS.

Within the last forty or fifty years toy
making, as every middle-aged person
knows has been revolutionized. Gone
are the simple delights of past genera
tions; even the speaking doll, which was
OEce a wonder sufficient to attract all
the neighbors, is now mere common
place. The rich may pay as much as
several hundred dollars for dolls for their
children, and mechanical toys are built
on SO vast a style that the boys of mil
licnaires, should their fathers suddenly
become poor, might hang out signs and
GO into trade with no other equipments
than that Of the toy shop.

shops of today are only old friends.

moment, ordered for his little ones just

shops. For certain toys are the divine
right of childhood, and children make

them otherwise; so parents, since the
world began, have ben helping the little
