CUTOFF
TO BE BUILT NEAR LOOKOUT BY
THE UNION PACIFIC
SOON.
The Defective Piece Of Road 10 Thirty
Miles West Of Laramie and Will be
Remedied by Improvement to the
Present Roadbed-Other Local and
General Railroad News.

The Union Pacific is not yet through
with improvement work on the Wyo-
ming division Of the road, says the
Cheyenne Tribune. 1t was supposed
that with the completion of the Leroy
Bear River cutoff that the road had
been Strengthened as much as posi-
BILE and the minimum grade secured
through Wyoming, but such appears
not to be the case. A semi-cut-on is
to be built in Wyoming and bids for
the work have already been received
by the engineering department at Oma-
ha.
The defective piece of road is near
Lookout, a station thirty miles west
Of Laramie. In 1900 the line just east
of Lookout was improved by the con-
struction of a cutoff, which did away
with the celebrated Horse Shoe curve,
one of the points of interest on the
line. The work decided on is half cut
of, half improvement to the present
roadbed. 1t is to be done at as early
a date as possible.
Thursday bids from a dozen con-
tractors, including Fitzpatrick Bros,
Sharpe and others, were opened at
| Omaha, but the announcement Of who
| secured the work has not yet been
made. A cutoff will be constructed
and two miles Of roadbed remade and
improved, cuts widened, banks ex.
tended, etc. The work will require the
removal of about 4OO, 900 cubic yards
of dirt and will cost not less than $50.
900 per mile. As the improvement Is
to be rushed a very large force Of men
will be employed. and employment
agents will again be doing business In
Cheyenne, Laramie and eastern points.

Publication Of Water by ozone.

Publication Of Water by Ozone.
An examination of the results oh.
tanned in the publication of water by
treatment with ozone has just been
concluded by Drs. Ohlmuler and
Prall, on behalf Of the German impe-
rial health department. The appa.
ratus used was capable Of treating
ten cubic metres of water per hour.
The water was sprayed through q
hose to bed of pebbles, beneath
which ozonized air was forced under
pressure. The down flowing water
thus came into very intimate contact
with the up flowing current of air.
archaeological examinations were
made both before and after treat
ment, while the effect of the process
on the color, clearness and taste Of
the water was also observed. The
bacteria which survived appeared to
be of a specially resistant type, since
their number was not reduced by pro-
longing the ozoning action. It was
found that the whole of the patho-
genie bacteria was entirely de-
stroyed by the process. None of the
germs of cholera or typhus species
survived. The process improves the
color of the water and has no bad
effect on the taste. The cost is given
at about cents per thousand gallons,
one-third of which represents the ac-
,.al cost of ozonizing.

Lord Rayleigh points out that per-

visible by virtue of non-uniforM H.
Elimination. The moment we arrive
at uniform illumination they become
absolutely invisible to the eye, a fact
which forcibly illustrates our optical
limitations. Professor R, w. Wood,
of Johns Hopkins University, Balti-

of which uniform illumination can
be obtained and transparent objects
made to disappear. His apparatus con-

outer surface of which is painted with
Balmain's luminous paint, mixed with
hot Canada balsam; inside is placed
the object, and the hollow is viewed
through a small hole drilled in the
coating. If the inner surface be ex-
posed to bright daylight, sunshine or
electric light, and the globe be then
taken into dark room, crystal ball,
