N RAXROADLM

On the experimental railroad built by
the German government between Ber-
lin and Zossen a new type of express
train is to be tested some time this
year, says writer in the Youths Com
panion. The specifications require that
the train shall maintain a speed of sew
enty-four and half miles an hour for
three consecutive hours.
III order to diminish the air resist
ance as much as possible the entire
train, including the locomotive, will be
inclOsed in a shell of sheet steel, j0inted
so as to secure hexibility in rounding
curves, uniform in size from end to
end and presenting no projections to
catch the air.
The front of the engine will be wedge
shaped, and the wheels will all be of
the disk instead of the spoked patterns
and will be inclosed as far as possible
by the protecting sheath. Steam is to
be the motive power, the previous ex-
periments having shown that electric
motors at high speeds unduly strain the
track.
Railroads Built In 1902.
According to the Railroad Gazette,
approximately 6,026 miles of new steam
railroads were built last year. These
figures are exclusive of second track,
sidings, all electric lines and rebuilt
mileage, except where the work in
volved such extensive changes in align
ment that q new route was established.
Railroad building was reported in for
ty-tWo states and territories, Oklahoma
leading the list with $40 miles. Texas
built 1896 Arkansas 371, Indian Ter
ritory 1853 and Georgia 1856. Illinois,
Iowa, Missouri and New Mexico each
built over 200 miles, and Alabama,
California, Florida, Louisiana, Michi-
gan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Ohio,
Pennsylvania, Washington and West
Virginia built between 100 and 200
miles No new steam mileage was re-
ported in Alaska, Delaware, Idaho,
| Maryland, New Hampshire, New Jer-
sey, Rhode Island or Wyoming.

B. D. Anguish. of Chicago, Seeks to
Form Union Among Farmers
For Business Purposes. Il
TO SUPPLY VEGETABLE MARKET.
Racine and Kenosha County Farmers are
Supply Chicago Markets.

Efforts are being made by Chicago
wholesale men and shippers to unite
the farmers of Racine and Kenosha
counties into clubs to aid in supplying
Chicago with a better supply OF
garden truck and vegetables. Thurs
day a preliminary meeting OF the
farmers interested in the scheme was
held at the Office of r. B. Anguish IN
Chicago and the first steps were taken
for the formation of the organization.
Half dozen farmers residing in the
towns of Pleasant Prairie and Somers
went down to attend the meeting at
the call of Mr.. Anguish and all OF
them signified their intentions OF
entering the proposed organization.
MIR, Anguish is of the opinion that the
organization has great possibilities.
1t will be a cooperative business in
the broadcast sense of the word and If
a sufficient number of the farmers OF
the two counties can be brought into
the organization the combination will
be strong enough to control the trade
in Chicago and this section OF the
country and to regulate the price to be
charged for the vegetables. In the
past four or five years truck farming
has had new impetus IN kenosha
county and now several tracts of land
about the county are being used for
raising garden truck. One OF the
biggest truck farms in this section Of
the state will be opened for product
ION at Pleasant Prairie this season
ard several large farms in the town of
Somers will also be used for the rails
ing of this sort of products.
The demand for vegetables in Chi
cago can be supplied by the farms now
in operation and Mr.. Anguish WHO is
one of the largest shippers in the city
is willing to bind himself to dispose of
all the product of the Kenosha and
Racine county farms. The railway
facilities of the smaller towns in the
county will make it possible for the
vegetables to be delivered in the city
at the shortest possible notice and Il
will be possible to put the Wisconsin
truck on the market an hour or two
earlier than that which is now being
shipped into Chicago from the interior
of the state of Illinois.
The farmers in the two counties
seem to be enthusiastic ov,r the pros
poets for the new company ana many
of them have already begun to make
plans to go into the truck business on
a large scale with the opening of the
new season.

Knickerbocker Ice Company Orders
Its Managers to See That Holes
In the Ice Are Fenced.
BLooDLEss VICTORY FOR MEN.
Other Companies VIII Follow the Lead 8. t
by the Ice Trust and Lives of Workmen
VIII be Fully Protected.

District Attorney A. E. Buckmaster
has won bloodless victory for the
protection of the lives of the men en-
ployed on the lakes by the big Chicago
ice companies, and Thursday he
received letter from President John
S. Field, of the Knickerbocker Ice
company, stating that immediate
orders had been given to the man
ayers for the company in this county
to at once fence in all holes left in the
ice by ice cutters, and to see that
strict compliance of the law was adj
hered to in the future.
In his letter Mr.. Field stated that
this was the first time the law had been
brought to him and that he felt that
the company owed the attorney thanks
for the courteous mannerooin which the
matter had been brought to them. The
orders have been sent out from Chica-
go and for the rest of the season and
in future sea sonssa1l lakes useo ., the
Knickerbocker company will be fer ced
in to protect the people of the nei h
in the work of harvesting the ice crop.
The action of the Knickerbocker
company in yielding to the law with
out demanding test of it in the courts
will go long way toward forcing the
independent companies to follow suit.
The business done by the trust in this
county is an enormous one, and asst
controls a ma ority of the lakes the
workmen on the other lakes will either
force the other companies to follow
suit or they will leave and go to the
company which furnishes more ample
protection for its employees. The JET
ferson company, while not notified
from the central Office, has already
fenced in many of the holes in Powers
lake and now the town officials will
demand that all the lakes be protected.
For the past two years an effort has
been made to have this statute enforced
by the companies, but there were no
funds available for the attorney to
make fghti in court against the COM
panies and this is the first time that he
has been able to reach the real source
of authority.
The Knickerbocker company is reap
ing a great harvest in Kenosha and it
is claimed that fully one half of all the
ice sold by the company in Chicago
and Milwaukee is secured fro,n the
lakes in this county.

FOR HEAT AND LIGHT.
Unique Generator the Invention of "a
Massachusetts Man.

Unique Generator the Invention of n
massachusetts Man.
A heat generator and lamp combined
is the invention of a Massachusetts
man to take the place in some degree
of CRATES or fireplaces.
The invention is practically a radia-
tor that gathers up the rising heat rays
from the flame Of a lamp and distrib
utes them about the room instead of al
lowing them to rise vertically to the
ceiling. The circulation of this heated
air also produces Il current which
draws the air ia the room and brings
it into contact with the hot surface Of
the generator, thus further increasing
the radiation of warm air.
The generator is built up from a Sc
ries of thin metal plates, with an open
ing at the bottom for the insertion of a
lamp chimney. 1t is supported on the
lamp by a vertical post and projecting
arm, the latter being hinged to permit
the heater to be elevated for the pur-
pose of removing the lamp.
As The sleeve which carries the sup
porting arm is adjustable on the post a
lamp Of any size can be used, and, as
there is no connection between the
chimney and the generator, the lamp
can be instantly removed if the owner
wishes.

IN A SUBMARINE.
Experiences OF a Journey Below the
Waters Surface.

Experiences OF a Journey Below the
Waters Surface.
Lieutenant Lawrence Spear, former
ly naval constructor, who recently read
paper in New York on submarine
war vessels before the Society of Naval
Architects and Marine Engineers, gave
to representative of the New York
Tribune an interesting description of
his experience while under water dur
ing three hours trial Of the Adder in
Peconic bay.
Fifteen miles were travelled under
water without coming to the surface
once After the first hour the trip be-
came monotonous. There were eleven
men in the boat, nearly eighteen feet be-
low the surface Of the water. No noise
could be heard except that of an cleo
trio motor driving the boat through the
water at seven knots. The captain
stood with his head in the coming
tower, steering by the little compass
and timing the boat by his watch, so
that he might know when to turn her
around and begin the return trip of the
three-mile course.
Water could be seen rushing by, but
nothing else could be dist nc dished ex-
cept the small brass whistle which
stands close to the rear Of the tower;
the rest WAS just a wall of green water
through which the Adder was rushing.
Objects ten feet away could not be
seen. AS for the air, it was as pure as
any could be in room of the same
area, and much purer than that of
many a cardroom in which men sit.
not for three hours, but for ten aud
twelve hours with closed doors and
with the air vitiated by tobacco smoke.
