IMPROVED BALLAST FOR RAILWAYS.

IMPROVED BALLAST FOR RAILWAYS.
Millions of dollars are being expend-
ed in improvements on the large rail
ways of the country, tending toward
the final end of increase in speed and
reducing the time occupied in travers-
ing the distance between different Sec
tons Of the country. Recent expert
ments with high-speed cars in Germany
have shown that the roadbed itself
must be greatly improved over the av-
erage condition now maintained before
trains could be run At much faster
speed. 1t is not sufficient to remove
the curves and lessen the gradients,
but the tracks must be ballasted to the
point of perfect rigidity before the rails
and trucks can stand the high speed.
To this end the improved method of
ballasting the tracks illustrated in the
accompanying drawing has been intro
duced by William Goldit While the
Introduction of liquid cement beneath
the ties has already been practiced
with some success, it has the disad-

Doing His Washing.

A messenger boy, whose blue uni

of grease spots, to say nothing of
few torn places, came into the rear
car of the "L" train and threw himself
into one of the cross seats. Opposite

he was No. 3114. The old woman was

was replaced on his curly head.

Not few of the prisoners who were
transported in convict ships from Eng
land to Australia in the first half OF
the nineteenth century,, often for triv-
ial offenses now punishable by small
fines, prospered in new and progress
sive country. They attained wealth
and position. and even secured admis-
sion to the annual registers of British
aristocracy through the marriages of
their sons and daughters. But some
were never able to throw off the asso-
Citations of the convict ship, and be-
came constant curse to their new
land instead Of reformed and steady
going colonists. A survivor of this sec
ond class, Frederick Clarke, aged
eighty-five, stood in the dock of the
Melbourne Criminal Court the other
day and received long sentence-the
last of long series-of four years for
being concerened in a burglary. He
was transported from England in the
forties, and since then his Australian
sentences have aggregated sixty-eight
years. Horse stealing and burglary
are the little weaknesses he has never
been able to control. The Common
wealth might very fairly send bill to
the imperial treasury for the board and
lodging of this gentleman for half a
,entury.-London Chronicle.

A Kitchener Story.

In the current number Of Black.
woods the following characteristic an.
ecdote is told of Lord Kitchener: Once
a general officer was inspecting a post
on the line of communications, and
duly arrived at the little hut which
represented the headquarters Of the
majesty of the army in some wind
swept hole. Enter N, and, looking
round, espies an office table and two
trays, one full of papers. Interested,
he reads the label attached to each.
The empty one was ticketed "BuSi-
ness" and the other "Bosh." "Excef
lent officer" purrs X.-"thoroughly I'M
derstands his work and Kitchener's
methods" But when he went further
and proceeded TO examine the papers
in the "Bosh" tray, his feelings may
be better imagined than described on
finding that the documents consisted
exclusively of his own voluminops or
ders and memoranda.

ONE FOR THE cHlPMUNK.

The little chipmunk has no soul
Such as resides in noble man;
Poor thing, its home is just hole
No architect was called to plan.
Its richer brothers will not need,
When winter dims the distant sun,
To take things from their stores to feed
Its cold and hungry little one.
Ere billiards howl across the hill
The soulless chipmunk takes good care
To stock his larder and to fill
The home with all that gladdens there.
Nor does the chipmunk pile away
More than it needs ten thousand fold,
Or fight its brothers so that they
Must starve when nights are long and cold
Poor soulless chipmunk! All, how wide
The gulf 'twiAt it and noble man!
With what it needs tits satisfied,
And quits at last where it began.
