s'BANQUET hALLS"-APPLlED TO
THE NEW BALTIMORE & OHIO
DINING CARS.

The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad has
placed in service, within the past week
three magnificent new dining cars
fresh from the Pullman shops. They
are more completely equipped than
any similar cars built by this famous
company. The kitchens and pantries
contain every perfected culinary de-
vice known, and the dining rooms
themselves are as elaborate and beau
tiful as it is possible to make them.
The interior woodwork is mahogany
finished in its natural color, which.
together with the green ceilings and
~teracotta carpeting, lends a most
pleasing effect.
The cars are lighted with both Pin
tsch gas and electricity, aud are also
provided with electric fans. An ex-
quiste individual effect is given each
table bv electric %caudelabra.
While the china, glassware. linen
and siler are in perfect accord with
the surroundings, that most important
feature the menu-prepared by Il OF
the best dining car services IN The

timoe g. Ohio Railroad indeed apleas-
IRE.
These cars are operated between
Chicago and Garrett, Pittsburg and
Connellsyille ,Keyser and Brunswick
and on Chicago and Cincinnati limited

BY turning out l.52c locomotives, an
average of one every four hours. all
records have been broken during 1902
at the Baldwin Locomotive works.
and all indications point to an even
greater out put in the year that is
about to dawn. Since the industrial
boom began in 1899 this great estab-
lishment has been kept busy TO the ex-
tent of its caDacity. which has been
increased from year to year with the
result that the output for 1900, 1901
and 1902 has been 1.217. 1875 and L.
$50 locomotives. respectively.
From a tonnage standpoint the re-
cord of 1902 is comparatively greater
than that represented by the 1920 To-
comotives built. From year to year
the weight of locomotives has been
gradually increased, and some of the
heaviest engines ever built at the
works, weighing 1913, 900 pounds. were
turned out during the year. While
the tonnage figures have not been made
up for 1902, the average weight of the
locomotiv rs built was about 1877 tons
or an Appropriated locomotive tom
mage of 2O8. 140 tons.
The money value of the wears ont
put represents fully $50 900, 600, an in
crease of SO, 00O. 900 over the previous
year. this increase being the result
not only of the increased number Of
engines built. but their considerably
enhanced value over the previous year.

Experimental:
On March {. 1000 pounds each OF
fresh horse and cattle manure were
placed in shed on light boards [:
was turned and weighed once a month
and the pile carefully watched to see
that proper conditions of moisture were
preserved. The following is the result
of several weighilgs: March Z, 5000
pounds; April 6, $3.50 pounds: May Z,
4.27s pounds; June 7, 3,947 pounds;
July 6. $3.50 pounds.
At this time the manure was in what
has usually been considered first class
condition, having that pasty character
which would admit of its being cut
easily with a spade and mixed readily
with the SOIL The turning and weigh
ing was continued each month until
December Z. when the former 5000
pounds of manure mad lost weight until
1t weighed 1000 pounds-a loss of more
than two thirds of the original weight.
Fresh manure gives better results with
most crops than restted manure, pound
for pound, hence thousands of dollars
are being allowed to waste in almost
every county every year from allowing
the farm yard manure to rot down into
that supposed best condition.

FINDS WONDERFUL ELIXIR.
Chicago University Mar Finds Way OF
Producing Unusual Growth.

Chicago, Sept 15.-FIave you ever
had a wish to grow Zig and strong
and healthy looking? Did you ever feel
a longing to be like the policeman you
meet on the street corner, or to emulate
lin size at least-the athletes whom
you have watched on the foot bail
field?
Ii you have ever had such a desire
there is hope that you may be abb
to crafty 1t. Professor Skinkishi Hatai
of the University of Chicago, Japan
csc who is one of the faculty OF the
department of neurology, has recently
completed IL series of experiments with
q wonderful substance, lecithin which
has the power of bringing about ex-
traordinarily rapid ard augmented
growth.
Lecithin, according to Professor
Waldemar Koch, instruc or in pharma-
cology, who has perfeete a method
for obtaining 1t, is IAN organic. phos-

results of which have just been pub

We're conducted with white rats. Other
foreign Investigators, Besgrey and Ia
ky. whose work Professor Hatai cites
in his paper, have found that similar
increased growth is brought about in
dogs, guinea pigs, and rabbits when
fed With lecithin.
That the same effect may be produced
in human beings Professor Hatai firm
ly believes. Lecithin emulsion. he
thinks, can be used in conyalescence
from weakening diseases to aid in the
regainng of strength and weight. The
substance he says, rs nourishing, and
will materially aid normal growth.
DR.. Hatai's work was done with five
series OF white rats. The rats of the
first three series We're given the lecit-
hin. by injection, those of the last two
by mouth feeding. In each series ha' f
of the rats We're treated With lecithin,
while the others were not.
DR.. Hatai summarized his results:
The white rats which received the
lecithin gained in weight more rapidly
than those which did not receive 1t
the gain peing on an average OF 6O
per cent greater than that of the rats
not treated; the nervous system of the
experimental animals in weight, in
