BALLAST FOR RAILWAYS.
Latest Scheme to Improves Roadbeds
Ii to Run Nearly Dry Cement
Under the Ties.

Millions of dollars are being ex-
pended in improvements on the large
railways of the country, tending to-
ward the final end of increase in
speed and reducing the time occupied
in traversing the distance between
different sections of the country.
Recent experiments with high-speed
cars in Germany have shown that.
the roadbed itself must be greatly
improved over the average condition
now maintained before: trains could
be run at much faster-2speed. It is
not sufficient to remove the curves
and lessen the gradient, but the.
tracks must be ballasted to the point

NOVEL WAY OF COAL MINING.
Nova Scotia Plans to Sink a Shaft in
MidOcean and Take Coal from

An operation unique in the history
of Nova Scotia mining is planned by
Ochiltree Mcdonald. who has bonded
coal areas near Port Moreen. The
coal area which he controls are
wholly submarine, and he is making
arrangements to sink a shaft on a
rocky islet known as Flint Rock.

bed. There seems to be no doubt that
during succeeding generations SUBJ
marine mining will be carried on ex-
tensively in Cape Breton. which has
large fields of submerged coal beds.

COAL DISCOVERY IN MONTANA.

What is apparently the greatest
soal field in the northwest has been
discovered in Choteau county, north

The coal vein is from three to five
feet thick and extenus distance of
4 mile and half in plain sight. Out

A company composed of Detroit,
Great Falls and Fort Benton capital

BELL MAKES DIRIGIBLE KITE.
The Telephone Man Admits Flying
Machine Expe rim ents, But Keeps
Details Secret.

DR.. Alexander Graham Bell, who
has just returned to Washington
from his summer home in Cape Bre-
ton island, made the following
statement in connection with reports
that have appeared in the public
prints that he has invented a fiyiny
machine:
The newspapers have been pre-
mature in announcing that l have
been at work on flying machine.
haven't any flying machine at all and
have not been trying to make one.
L am, of course, interested in the
problem, and have come to the con-.
clusion that properly constructed
flying machine should be capable of
being flown as kite, if anchored to
the ground, and that conversely a
properly constructed kite should be
capable of use as a flying machine If
provided with suitable means of pro-
pulsion.
MY experiments have had as their
object the building of kite of solid
construction, capa bic of carrying up
in a moderate breeze a weight equiv
alent to that of man and engine.
and so formed that it could be suit
able for use as the body of flying
machine and with supporting sur
faces so arranged that when the kite
is cut loose it will come down gent
ly and steadily and land uninjured.
l have successfully accomplished this,
but do not care at the present time
to make public the details of con-
struction."

consider this performance alone sufficient

David Sutherland Tried Before
Judge SweetIand and Found
Not Guilty as Charged.

David Sutherland was tried In the 6th
district court today on a warrant alleg-
ing that on Feb. 18th he drove his horse
attached to a buggy faster than an or
dinary travelling pace on CLIFFORD street.
Several witnesses averred that the horse
was driven so fast that people who were
leaving their work were endangered.
Belle Smith, was knocked down, run
over, one rib broken and she was quite
badly hurt otherwise.
Mr.. Sutherland said that he was driv-
ing up hill. had just pulled up his horse
to avoid a man. when a woman ran IN
front of the animal, was knocked down
and screaming frightened the horse into
a run.
Mrs. Sutherland said that her husband
drove up the hill at his usual pace. Both
she and her husband were on the watch
for pedestrians.
They first saw Miss Smith aiongssde
the shaft. Both she and her husband
cried out to the woman TO look out.
At the same time Mr.. Sutherland pulled
up the horse and Miss Smith ran In front
OF II and was Knocked down.
Mrs Sutherland and Miss Smith both
screamed, which frightened the horse In
TO a run.
Before Miss Smith was struck she was
walking rapidly behind others who were
crossing the street and was looking down
Two young men, named Miller who were
driving just behind Mr.. Sutherland, were
positive that the latter was not driving
up to the limit, which Is miles within
the compact part of the city.
Judge Sweotland said that the term fas-
ter than an ordinary travelling pace had
never been legally determined. In this
case there was a reasonable doubt which
the defendent was entitled to and upon
this he would discharge him.
As TO the personal liability for the in
Jury TO Miss Smith that was matter TO
be determined before a civil tribunal.
A man might not drive faster than four
miles an hour. and yet through careless
