MAKING OF RAILROAD CURVES

Mr.. George Pullman once said, when
asked the secret of easy riding, that
the secrets are so many that no one
can keep them. This is true, but the
easing of curves is one of them.
Curves, no matter how slight, have
always been laid as arcs of true cir
cles. The outer rail is raised accord
ing to the sharpness of the curve and
the estimated speed of trains that are
to round it. A mile-a-minute train on
a one degree curve needs an outer rail
five inches higher than the inner rail /;
a slower train a lower elevation. II
is clear from this explanation that a
train going faster than the maximum
for which the track is prepared would

Using Face Lotions.

One very good way to apply a lotion
to the face, when time is not taken IN
to account, is to pour as much as is
needed into a clean saucer and use
steriliZed absorbent cotton or gauZe,
which can be purchased for trifiing
sum at the chemists. Make some lit
tie balls or pads of the cotton, and
keep them in a clean wide-mouthed
jar, with a screw top, and use as
needed. Dip them into the lotion, and
gently wash it over the face, using
fresh ones from time to time during
the process.

grind the fianges OF its wheels. ANY

SOME DOUBTS ON ADAM.
Or. Lyman Abbott Appears to Think
Adam Was a Myth.

After a long and exhaustive study
of the skull of a prehistoric man, n
of the learned professors of Munich
cestors, though able to walk erect
on their hind legs, as it were-could
not talk. 1t is somewhat In line with
the Darwinian theory of the origin of
the species. 1t is to be noted, how
ever, that the Munich professor says
nothing about the ability of our orig
inal female ancestors to talk. That
leaves us with faith in at least half
the story we read in the first chapter
of Genesis.
II is to be presumed that Eve could
talk, in which ease she had some
what of a start on Adam. Incidentally
~ may account for the prevalent be-
lief that Ewes daughters ever since
have had q little the best of it in the
talking line with the other sex, barr
ing the populists. At the same time
1t destroys, or. at least. casts a doubt
upon the authenticity OF the story that
Adam tried to shield himself by blam-
ing it all on the woman, for II he
couldn't talk he could scarcely have
been able to say that 'the woman
tempted me and I did eat" Many
men would like to believe the Munich
professor right in his theory. They
hate to think of Adam sh%ouldering all
the blame on Eve. They would much
prefer he should have followed the
example of another great man-say
rather that he should have set the
example for that other great IAN
and "perjured himself like a gentle
man." II Adam couldn't talk he sure
ly couldn't have peached on Eve. II
gives one a better opinion OF Adam.
And now m DIR. Lyman Abb
bolt and casts doubt upon the exist
ence of such a man as Adam-the
original Adam who was the father of
Cain and Abel and Seth. and inciden-
tally the progenitor of the human
race. DIR. Abbott doesn't say in ex-
simply leaves room for doubt in his
remark during a recent lecture before
the members OF an ethical culture
society when he said that Every
baby born into the world knows as lit
tie as Adam. If there ever was an
Adam"
This is coming pretty thick and
fast. First, we have Adams ability
to talk denied. Next we have the
very existence OF such a man ques-
toned. 1t is getting altogether too
agnostical. The situation brings to
mind the story Of the old negro preach
er who was telling the story OF the
creation.
"And de Lord made Adam and stood
him up against de fence to dry"
