THE FASTEST ROAD
Description of German Line Which
 Has Proved So Speedy.
Roadbed Specially Prepared, and the Cars Driven by Tbree-Phase Alternating Current of
 I3,J0O Volts.

The very recent record made on the Marienfelde-Zossen road in Germany of over 125 miles per hour has renewed the interest in the high-speed electric traction experiments being carried on there, and makes fuller description of the roadbed, over which the car ran and the car which was driven at such terrific speed, of especial value and in- terest at this time
 The road, which runs between Marien- felde and Zossen, and which is part of the Prussian railway, is 14.29 miles in length, and is a nearly level track. The 69-pound rails which were used in the first experiments in 1901 were found to be too light and for later experiments S6.1-pound rails were laid upon heavy spruce ties 9 inches from center to center and heavily 0aiiasted with broken basalt The rails were set on each tie in steel chair, strongly bolted down, and were joined perpendicularly by bey- eled joints seven inches in length, held firmly together by bolts passing hori- zontally through the fish plates, so that the effectiveness of a continuous rail is practically secured. The old light rails were laid down flat as guard rails, rest ing horizontally on special cast-iron chairs in such way that the flat bot tom fange of the rail stands vertically along the inside line of each heavy rail and about two inches distant from the inner edge of its face. With the excep- tOn of one curve of 1000 yards in ra- dius near its southern extremity the line Is perfectly straight.
 The motor car used is 72.1S feet in length and weighs 100 tons, Of this weight considerably over half is taken up in the body of the car and the run ming gear. and the rest is made up by the motors, transformers and other de- tails of the electrical equipment. Each end of the car rests on a six-wheeled bogie truck of the American type, and the motors are four in number, one at

The Doctors Statement.

St. John, Kans.. Nov l6th.-Ths town has a genuine sensation in the case of q little boy, the son of Mir. and Mrs. Will liam Mcbride. Dr. Lines, the attending physician. says:
 Scarlet Fever of very malignant type brought this child very near to death and when the fever left him, he was semi-para- lyzed in the right leg and right arm. He also lost hearing in his right ear and his mind was much affected.
 His parents tried another treatment for a time and when 1 was recalled l found that he was having spells very like Epilep- sy and was very bad and gradually growing worse. l advised the use of Dodd's Kid ney Pills and in a short time the child be gan to improve. Inside of week the nervous spasms or epileptic seizures ceased altogether"
 MT. and Mrs. Mcbride have made a sworn statement of the facts and Dr. Jesse L. Lines has added his sworn statement saying that Dodd's Kidney Pills and noth. ing else cured the fits.

Entertaining Tale of the Grass.---- That Made the Missimo
 Valley.

The vast low Jurassic Island haC been raised above the level of the sea where now the great continent stands writes Ernest Thompson Seton, II Fable and Woodmyth" in Century A Matriarchal Dinosaur was leading her ponderous troop in single flle across the upheaved marshy plain. A dry season had blighted the lower pas lures and forced them to travel. ard as she was about to turn northerly, 8 Jurassic grasshopper said BiZz. under her nose. The insect is quite harm less, but it protects itself by initiating the fearful bizz of the ancestral rat tlesnake. The old Dinosaur wheeled to one side and raised her head. Her little twinkling eyes tell on a rank green marsh to the eastward, and she now turned and led her troop to that. Each day they came to the feeding ground along their first discovered trail, until it was worn deeply.
 Time went by. A wet season made the upland marsh a brimming lake. 1t would have overflowed to the west ward for this was its lower side. but the deep-worn trail of the Dinosaurs offered an outlet that enlarged with the yearly rains faster than the slowly rising lands could tilt the other Way; and so it became a stream.
 Ages went by. The great upheaval went on. The Rocky mountains arose The former trail was now crooked river flowing eastward. growing larger, carrying into the shallow sea millions of tons of clay, till that shallow sea became the Missouri and Mississippi valley, which might never have exist ed had the Dinosaur been allowed to follow her original eourse-a course that would have left these vast. turbid, land-creative waters free to seek the western sea; and the bizz of the harm less grasshopper did it all.

A young fellow was up before him. relates the Pittsburg Dispatch on a charge of stealing brass, and hs friends were out in full force to see that he got far show.
 Before the case opened the noise and confusion became so great that his honor declared that the next man to indulge in any unusual outbreak would be elected from the room. He had hardly ceased speaking when a young man shouted, at the same time waving his hat above his head:
 "Hooray fur Squire Hooligan!"
 Put him out, roared the court, and in another instant the young man found him self being rushed to the door. Order hay ing been restored once more, his honor or dered that the prisoner be brought before the bar for trial.

The wheels are 49 inches in diameter and arc equipped with pneumatic brakes of the standard type The transformers. which are hung beneath the middle section of the car, weigh 12 tons. besides which a storage battery of 631 pounds weight supplies the currents for lighting pur- poses. The Interior of the car is pro- vided with upholstered seats lengthwise along the sides, and an open railing en- closes at each end the space occupied by the driver, who, standing behind a curved front of plate glass within easy touch of volt and ampere meters, gauges which show the resistance of the air, and a dial that indicates and registers the speed, controls its movements by turning a pilot wheel.
 The trolley poles were set along the side of the track 100 feet apart, and the steel bows extending over the track sustained three parallel lines of heavy copper trolley wire This three-phase alternating current supplied voltage of 13,50o volts and this was reduced by transformers carried under the floor of the car to an average pressure of 1,500 volts. and in that condition turned into the motors, of which the car carried four. two at either end, with an aggre- gate energy of 900 horse power
 During the tremendous speed attained over two miles minute-the swaying movement of the car was scarcely per eeptible. and according to those who have made trips in the car during the trial trips no discomfort from vibration, wind pressure or other cause was ex- perienced in greater degree than on an ordinary express train of the D class in Germany.
 Careful examination since the trials has failed to detect any sign of failure or deterioration in track, car or trans mission system. so that it is hardly too much to assume that the technical prob lem of electric-traction speed up to 100 miles and more per hour is successfully y solved for all localities where straight and reasonably level and well-guarded railway lines can be provided.

It is reported that in many localities to sell or introduce so-called cheap" or low-priced baking powders, either directly or by an order upon a grocer. In most instances deception is used. and it is claimed that the article is a genuine baking powder and has all the merits of pure article.

In England and in some sections of this country their sale is prohibited by law. Congress has forbidden the sale of food contain ing alum in the District of Columbia. The highest authorities condemn their use. Dr. s. w.
