HOW climate Affects Railroads.

There are three great railroad lines
that show the climatic problems that
engineers have to solve in building
the new trans Canada road, traversins
high northern attitudes; the trans-Aus-
tralia road, running through an arid
region, and the Uganda road, which
traverses a tropical country. In high
ATTITUDES many difficulties have to be
overcome, among them being the eff.
fects of mountain sickness on thet
workmen.. In rainy regions foods and
landslides must be provided against,
and the early decay of ties, sleepers

it is necessary to provide watsr,

and against many other things that the

Working Out the Problem.

The good roads problem is b".AG
gradually worked out in all parts Oh
the United States, and it requires some
patience to wait until some Of the ideas
can be put into execution. The old
idea of working out the road tax" or
gossiping them out, which is nearer
correct. will cling to MANY and will not
be given up without fight. The fever
is now on and it is to be hoped there
will be an improvement in all the voads
in the near future.

there, are yet many Of her older citizens|
who can recall the long-ago presence Of IN

shavings,, invariably crediting their retuI
to health to such processes. -. e s.;5
While it is true that Lakewood air is
most pleasant blend ,of temperate mildnes
and balsamie fragrance, it would probabl
be going too far to claim for it any particr
lar medical properties. The place Is h
out upon light and sandy soil Wild
speedily absorbs all moisture; the air i
dry and untainted; the system sf drinageA
is modern, and the water supply is from
artesian well six hundred to seven hum
dred feet deep. As to temperature, theret
is comparative warmth Of eight to ten \
degrees over New York City, sixty miles
away, doubtless due to the shelter Of the]
pine forests which surround the place for
miles.
What Is more direct factor of the3
healthful conditions found here by visitors
is total variance Of E:ahit which in Lake

MESSAGE FROM HAWAII
CABLE FROM SAN FRANCISCO TO
THE ISLAND COMPLETED.
Splicing of the Shore and Sea Ends
Was Finished Last Night and the
First Signal Flashed.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 1.-San Francisco
and Honolulu exchanged their first word by
cable at 11:03 o'clock tonight The signals
were good. Earlier in the evening the AS
Hawaii stating that the San Francisco end
of the cable was picked up this afternoon
and that the splicing will be completed
before midnight, when communication with
Honolulu would be opened.
The speed of the first message was fast.
but the operators have not figured out the
rate at which the earliest messages were
exchanged. The first message was from
Governor Dole to President Roosevelt.
WASHINGTON, Jan. "A cable message
from Honolulu over the newly laid Pacific
cable was received at the White House
shortly before o'clock this morning.
President Roosevelt had retired early in
the evening and the contents of the mes
message was brief. merely announcing
the completion of the cable.
Mail advices received from Honolulu,
dated Dec. 25, stated that great prep
arations had been made to celebrate the
completion of the cable. The celebration.
therefore, probably will be held to-day.
The ship Silvertown buoyed the cable
thirty-five miles off the Island of Oahu,
on Dec. 26, in 45O fathoms of water, after
paying out 2,23s nautical miles of cable.
The shore end of the cable, which is of a
heavier type than the sea cable. was spliced
to the latter some miles Off Diamond Head,
which is the landing place of the San
Francisco Honolulu line.

PRESIDENTS NAME SACRED.


WASHINGTON, Jan. IA decision has
been made by the commissioner of patents
that will meet with general appreciation,
however much it may be decried by those
enterprising gentlemen and firms who act
upon the theory that nothing is beyond
their reach when advertising their wares.
An application was made for a trademark
bearing the name Roosevelt Rose" 1t
was not explained in the application what
the name was to be used on. but it is un-
derstood ii was to be used to designate a
flower. In denying the application the ex-
aminer said: 1T is against public policy
for this Office to lend its sanction to the
use of the Presidents name by granting
registration therefor as a trademark with
out his express consent"
An appeal was taken from the decision of
the examiner and the commissioner sus-
tanned the decision. In concluding the deci-
sion the commissioner said: ut is well set
tied that a livingS celebrity is entitled to
protection from the use of his name for the
purposes of trade by others, and this is
especially true in the case of the name of
the President of the United States

FEW MINERS WORKED.
Little Anthracite Was Taken Out Of
the COllieries ON New Years.

SCRANTON, Pa, Jan. IAN effort was
made by all the coal operators to work
their collieries to-day, but IL met with i'll
success. AT each colliery the foremen went
around yesterday and gave notice to all
hands that the company was very desirous
of working. that the relieving of the coal
famine might not be retarded. Some men
reported at every mine. but IL was only in a
few instances that enough reported to
make a start.
The Delaware, Lackawanna g. Western
Company got four of its ninteen collieries
started. but at noon time they had to shut
down, the hands, particularly the slate
pickers, refusing to continue The Della
ware & Hudson got two of its twenty-five
places started. but they worked only few
hours. The Erie started two places. and
one of them. the Katydid. at Mosaic. ran
all day. None OF the thirteen Ontario &
Western or OF the eight Temple Iron Com
panys collieries even made start. liz is
feared that to morrow will see a repetition
of the experience of the day following
Christmas. when only about half the men
reported for work.
