Professor E. f. Ladd of the chemical

cultural college says:

served with formalin and sweetened

A smokeIess Frying Pan.

No more horrid odors through the
house when cooking is IN progress. A
smokeless frying pan is the latest in
vention to come to the housekeepers
aid. There is a diminutfve chimney in
one side of the frying pam by which all
the odor of cooking is sucked down in
to the stove and, presto, up the chin
ney. Tiny perforations in the lid aid
the work.
The hole in the bottom of the pan is
on one side, so that II in no way inter
feres with anything placed in the pan.
1t is also walled around with the ma
terial of the pan to the top, so that the
careful housewife need not fear that
any of the juices or frying material
will escape. The gases are sucked
down through the opening and out
through the natural vent, the chin
ney. Now that it has been so we'll
done one wonders it was not done be-
fore. The bane of frying is the
smoke and smell that fill the kitchen
and in spite of the utmost care creep
all over the house. This is anlefectual
remedy. 1t is inexpensive too

A s2OO.OOO switcbinr plant.

j. Q. Van Wrinkle, general superintendent
of the Big Four, returned last night from
a three days stay in ST. Louis. AT the
meeting of general managers of the st.
Louis Terminal Association a contract was
awarded for new interlocking plant to be
installed in the terminal yards. The plant
will cost 100000 and will be the largest and
most complete in the United States. The
Union Switch and Signal Company. of
Swissville. Pa, secured the contract. The
plant is operated by electricity and air and
is known as an electric-pneumatic plant,
and one thousand passenger trains can be
run in and out of the station every day
without the slightest danger of blockade or
accident. One of the features of the new
plant will be the electric apparatus, by
which button pressed at the lower signal
tower of the yard will indicate at the OPP
Grating tower the tracks which a train en-
tering the yard desires to use. In this way
the necessity of telephoning the route of
the train is disposed of. Mr. Van Wrinkle
states that when the loop is in use trains
can be run half minute apart instead of
four minutes, now has to be done by
way of the tunnel, and this can be done
without the slightest danger.

Mr. Rawn's Retirement.

The announcement that I. G. Rawn, gen.
eral superintendent of the Baltimore G.
Ohio at Pittsburg. who had held the posi-
ton but five months, would retire April 80
was much of surprise. 1t is understood
that T. j. Foley, assistant to the general
manager. will succeed Mr.. Rawn. The new
general superintendent. when appointed,
will be the sixth man to fill this important
position at Pittsburg In less than three
years. The others. in rotation, were Will
liam Gibson, formerly of the Big Four, d.
F. Maroney, w. r. Woodford, l.. G.. Haas
and Mr.. Rawn. The swift succession of
changes has been due to causes varying in
every case. but back of them all has been
the difficulty of managing the Pittsburg
grand division. The territory embraces
LOO miles, mostly double track. From it
comes two-thirds of the revenue of the
Baltimore & Ohio. and it is recognized as
one OF the most difficult problems in opera
ton anywhere in the country. Not less
than $3O,OO0,00O has been expended by the
Baltimore & Ohio on this grand division for
making its facilities equal to the demands
of the territory. Mr.. Rawn took charge of
the Pittsburg division as general superin-
tendent Dec. /.

Southern Indiana's Prosperity.

Dickman's United States Treasury De-
tector and Bankers and Merchants Jour-
nal publishes the annual statement of the
Southern Indiana Railway for the five
years of it's operation. The fifth annual re-
port shows an encouraging increase in
traffic through its extension to Terre
Haute, the earnings having increased from
sl36,74S in 1898 to s63O,195 in 1902 The gains
over 1901 are very striking. '"he gross earn
ings increased $4,000, of which $14S, 600 were
from freight traffic and $4,000 from pas
senger traffic. A noticeable feature in the
report is that the ratio of operating ex-
penses to earnings was reduced from 66S0
per cent. in 1901 to 55.91 per cent. in 1902
The net income, after paying all charges,
was increased from 1913, 329 to $119.699. The
company paid per cent. on its $500 900 pre-
ferred stock, and the balance of income
was in excess of per cent. on the $4,000, 600
common stock. The exhibit thus far in its
present fiscal year will show even better
results.

agents, who was the only one left of the
few men of the old school. Mr. Morton has
practically been in full charge of the pas
