TO him the hills revealed deep mysteries:
The waters, winds and wooded plains

The feecy clouds far-foating in the sky
Sent messages to him of other lands:

And still he studied. nor would be con-

Until the things Of earth he knew full

He'd learned from Nature all she had
to tell.
The life Of mankind was to him a book
Where he might read truth at every

But tho he knew all life. this wcndrous

Thus meditating long upon the theme.

BALTIMORE, Aug. 81 The Baltimore and

are the heaviest ever built, and with the
three 9s-ton motors now in use will en-

passenger trains from Camden station
through the belt line tunnel and to the top

locomotive rendering any assistance.
The electric locomotive is made up of
two independent duplicate sections coupled
together. each section being equipped
with four motors and control so arranged
that either section can be operated indie

more sections can be controlled. The
capacity of the locomotive can AT any time
be increased by adding duplicate sections
