Machine Lays
Railway Tracks

At the rate of two and a half miles
a day, a peculiar piece of mechanism
is laying the tracks Of the Cincinnati,
Richmond and Municie railroad.
This track-laying machine auto
matlcally and accurately lifts the ties
and rails into position, the most
droudging labor in all railroad con.
struction. II also furnishes the mo-
tive power for its own construction
train.
There we're stretches of roadbed
over which the construction train
moved at a rate Of 1900 feet an hour.
One OF the most interesting features
is the manner in which the material
is delivered TO the roadbed. and the
comparatively few men required for
the different operations. as the ties
and rails are lifted and moved from
the cars on which they are carried to
the roadbed, being connected and
spiked while the train Is in motion.
An endless chain carrier puts the
ties in position, while a crane sus.
pended upon a steel truss lowers the
rails In advance of the construction
train. In this manner the engineers
in charge Of the road hope TO run into
Cincinnati many weeks earlier than
they could otherwise have done.
The machine weighs fifty tons. and
was made in Scranton, Pa. II is tho
only one OF It's kind in existence, and

panies the machine, spent ten years

RENEWAL OF STRENGTH
The Experience Of a Phoenix Nan
Who Is Grateful.

Within the last few months J. Ernest
Walker has taken on so much flesh that
many Of his old acquaintance hardly
recognize him. His face, formerly in
olined TO thinness. has grown full, and
be is taking on aldernanic proportions.
This is due entirely to a change of
food.
Mr.. Walker is six feet tall: until
since the middle of January the most
he ever weighed was 155 pounds. At
the time he took the change of food his
weight was 1876. At that time he had
almost despaired of regaining his
health. As a matter of fact he had
rad no health for several years worth
regaining.
He could eat but he could not as
simulate his food. His body was starved
and his brain was starved. He is a
man of tremendous energy, but energy
must have a physical basis. The nat
ural result was that Mr.. Walker COL

a discharge Of the proceedings was
'secured and Mr. Walker entered into
an arrangement with his creditors by
which he was given two years to dis
charge his obligations. He began this
tremendous task when he was still a
sicl, man, and now before the end OF
eleven months he has paid every dollar
with Interest and in the interest Of his
creditors he has neglected to avail him
self of some of the privileges allowed
him by the agreement with them.
Agents of Bradstreet and Dunn say
that this is one of the most remarkable
instances of liquidation in the business
history Of the Pacific coast.

STORAGE RESERVOIRS

A feature of this flood storage, saio
Guy E. Mitchell. secretary of the Ma
tional Irrigation association. which
may rot be generally understood, but
which would undoubtedly accomplish
the desired result may be termed a
secondary storage" The water stOr-
age proposition applied to the Missouri
and its great tributaries involves the
question of the irrigation Of the vast
arid domain through which these rivers
flow. II irrigation storage reservoirs
were constructed on these rivers it il
estimated that as much as thirty-fivc
million acres OF present desert land
would be reclaimed. The principal
season of growing crops for this area
would be April, May, June, July and
August. ana the reason that the lands
ere not irrigated at present is that
while there is plenty of water in the
first three months. during July and
August when water is absolutely neces-
sary to mature the crops. these streams
are reduced to mere threads. If the
storage reservoirs were built they
would supply water for this land dur
ing July and August. During the three
preceding months the water for this
zsreat area OF Land would 9e drawn
directly from the streams themselves
BY means of canals and bitches almost
incalculable quantities of the flood
waters coming down during April, May
and June, which cannot be stored in the
reservoirs, would be taken out of the
rivers and spread upon this land which
would take it up like a sponge, water
which would go down the Missouri
river and down the Platte river and
down the Arkansas river into the Miss
issippi and thus add to the flow of the
torrent there.

What Neurasthenia Means

No word is so common in these days
as neurasthenia; yet it is not easy to
define, and many of those who use it
have only the vaguest idea of what it
means. The word originated with a
New York physician and the malady
indicated thereby has usually been re-
garded as a distinctiyely American
one, though it is found in most coun-
tries of the civilized world, and the
unfortunate Mrs. Carlyle is now de-
clared by Sir James Crichton Brown
to have been neurotic." Wear and
tear, storm and stress, a badly regu-
lated life, in short, are the causes usu-
ally assigned for this arrangement of
function resulting from the exhaustion
of nervous energy, but defects of nu-
triton have much to do with it, and
the solution of the problem, as in
many other cases, may rest ultimately

IN somewhat lurid language this restriction

All right, then, cough your head off, but
don't blame me If cut YOU returned the
barber. There was no more coughing, how
ever, and the man in the chair made his
escape without any injury. But, as he paid
his check at the desk, he remarked to the
boss barber:
Say, you want to give some nerve tonic
to the fellow who just shaved me-"
On, don't mind him" replied the boss.
He's from Colorado and he's used to shaw
ing consumptves. He was telling me the
other day that he's been in the business for
over 20 years and has shaved everything
from l6year-old boy to an octogenarian
drunkard, but his nerve went back on him
when he drifted into Colorado Springs and
started to shave the consumptives who hang
out there. Ever since then man with a
cough gives him cold chills. Out there, he
tells me, not day goes by that some Hunger

1t is in the shape Of a mourning lamp.
In the New York home of we'll

the deceased relative. Everything in

which was made to order and has a

standing out upon it in somber relief
The furniture is of richly carved eb-

But, says the Chicago Record-Her-

lamp, the only light producing orna-
ment in the room. 1t is black enam-
ell, and stands Is inches high. The
shade is made of China silk, and a

it.
