NOVEL TRACK LAYER.
Rails Laid From Construction Train
Moving 800 Feet an Hour.

Rails Laid From Construction Train
Moving 1, 500 Feet an Hour.
AT the rate of three and half miles
a day a peculiar piece of mechanism is
laying the tracks of the Cincinnati,
Richmond and Muncie railroad, says
the Cincinnati Enquirer. This track
laying machine automatically and &C
curately lifts the ties and rails into pO-
sition, the most drudging labor in all
railroad construction. 1t also furnishes
the motive power for its own construc-
ton train.
There were stretches of roadbed over
which the construction train moved at
n rate of 800 feet an hour. The ma
chine utilized was one which differs in
many essentials from that which has
been used west of the Mississippi river.
One of its most interesting features IS
the manner in which the material is de
liyered to the rOadbed and the compar-
atively few men required for the differ
ent 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 n crane suspended
upon steel truss lowers the rails in ad-
vance of the construction train.
The machine weighs fifty tons and
was made in Scranton, Pa. 1t is the
only one of its kind in existence, and
its inventor, Mr.. Hurley, who accom-
panies the machine, spent ten years in
perfecting it and thousands of dollars
OH models before success crowned his
efforts. The work done upon the Cincin-
natl, Richmond and Muncie road dem
onstrated that a force of about forty
competent men was all that are re-
quired to operate the machine to its
fullest capacity and then when condi-
tons are favorable over three miles of
track in day of ten hours could be
put down without difficulty, while an
average of over two and one-half miles
could be recorded. The gearing on
which the material is conveyed from
the platform through the machine can
be doubled. The weight of the rails
handled includes the heaviest used for
standard gauge construction, some of
them averaging 400 tons to the mile.
The track layer has also been Operat-
ed successfully in the winter season on
days when the mercury was below the
zero point

Cooling n nof L.

The small girl had been told not to
put her toy tiatiron on the stove, as it
would become. too hot. She insisted
that she must have a hot iron, how
ever; for how else could she make her
dolls clothes look nice? But when the
iron was given TO her she found its
warmth more than she bargained for.
She said nothing TO her mother. but
quietly taking up the iron she toddled
out to the refrigerator and deposited it
there, and when her mother asked for
an explanation she said:

koREA's SEVEN WONDERS
The Most Peculiar OF Them Is the
Famous Floating Stone.

Famous Floating Stone.
Korea, like the world of the ancients,
has its seven wonders" Briefly
stated, they are as follows: First, a hot
mineral spring near Kinshantao, the
healing properties of which are be-
lieved to be miraculous. No matter
what disease may afflict the patient,
dip in the water proves efficaciOus.
The second wonder is two springs
situated at a considerable distance
from each other In fact, they have
the breadth of the entire peninsula be-
tween them. They have two peculiar
tiles. When one is full the other is
empty, and Notwithstanding the OBJ
vious fact that they are connected by
a subterranean passage one is of the
bitterest bitter and the other pure
sweet.
The third wonder Is Cold Wind cave,
a cavern from which wintry wind
perpetuaIly blows The force of wind
from the cave is such that a strong
man cannot stand before it.
A forest that cannot be eradicated is
the fourth wonder. No matter what
injury is done the roots of the trees,
which are large pines, they will sprout
up again directly, like the pAeniX from
its ashes.
The fifth is the most wonderful Of
all. 1t is the famous floating stone"
1t stands. or seems to stand, in front of
the palace erected In its honor. 1t Is
an irregular cube of great bulk. 1t ap-
pears to be resting on the ground, free
from support on all sides; but. strange
to say two men at opposite ends of n
rope may pass it under the stone with
out encountering any obstacle what
ever!
The sixth wonder is the ''hot stone"
which from remote ages has lain glow
ing with heat on the top of a high hill.
The seventh and last Korean wonder
is n drop of the sweat of Buddha. For
thirty PAGES around the large temple
in which 1t is enshrined not a blade of
grass Will grow. There are no trees
or flowers inside the sacred square.
Even the animals decline to profane q
spot so holy.

SLIPPED FROM LOG
Milton Rowe, I2-year old Lad,
Drowned While Fishing
at CordoVa.
NO ONE SAW THE ACCIDENT
Disappearance Led to Investigation
and Finding of the
Body.

y drowning occurred yesterday af-
ternoon at Cordova, the victim being
Milton Leroy Rowe, aged II years, Il
visitor in the village, whose home is
at Yorktown, Bureau county.
About noon the lad, who was visit
ing with his brother, Burton c. Rowe,
vent fishing. Nothing was seen of
him by members of the family dur
ing the afternoon and when the
storm came up toward evening the
brother went to look for him.
The boy had been fishing from n
log boom near the upper end of the
village and his brother failed to find
any trace of him. Inquiry among
fishermen and others who had been
along the river developed the fact
that he had been seen as late as 3
o'clock, when a fisherman had given
him a string of fish.
Concluding that he had been drown
ed a search for the body was insti-
tuted and after an hours work the
remains were found at a point near
where the drowning must have taken
place.

Painting a Prince In India.

A well-known New York artist, who

attempted to paint the portrait Of q
native prince in Corea.
For more than three hours the
prince sat motionless and without a
word, like a statue. IT Is Finished

like a child and ran over to see the
work. His delight was unbounded
and he seized my hand and began to
shake it in a most enthusiastic man.

Suddenly he became grave and
stared at the picture in a mystifled
way. He looked and looked and then
peered round at the back Of the can
vas. He seemed Mortified beyond ex-
preston.
What is 1T? inquired.
"'You have not put in my jade or
nament,' said he in despair.
II had painted his portrait full face
and as the Coreans have the strange
habit Of putting small buttons Of gold
silver, jade or amber behind the left
ear these, Of course, did not appear.
my explanations did not satisfy the
prince, so I did rapid sketch Of hin

THE WIFE For PREAcHER.-In a
recent address, Bishop Charles N. Fow-
ler, the presiding officer Of the New
Jersey Methodist conference, said to
the conference class Of candidates at
Asbury Park:
You are not called upon to gable or
twaddle in the pulpit. A preacher
nowadays must give his people foo.
for thought, and food too, that will be
accepted by people who come to church
with magazines in their pockets and
live on diet Of good literature.
There is only one bishop who can ex-
cuse you for duties unperformed, and
that bishop is the undertaken. Don't
talk about higher criticism and other
nonsense. You will have enough to
do to save souls. At the utmost you can
preach only two hours a week, and evil
influences are likely to have play al
most all the rest Of the time.
Circuit preaching is hard, but it is
hard on the horse, not on the man.
Why, it's almost as easy to be a cir
cult preacher as to be a bishop. and go
around and preach your old sermons
over and over again.
l hope you each have good wife.
If you have not, get one, and don't
marry her because she Is pious. Mar
ry her because she has good common
sense. If had two women to choose
from, one having common sense and
the other only religion, would take
the women with common sense; for If
a person with common sense UNDER
takes this work that person will be
religious within the next hour. A wo-
man who Is only religious may back
slide, and I have no doubt but a woman
who has common sense will not expect
us to be saints.
