WHEN RAILROADS WERE NEW.
They Were Owned by the State and
Were Open to Anyone who
Wished to Use Them.

When the state of Pennsylvania
opened the Philadelphia & Columbia
railway, the theory was that the state
should furnish the roadway and that
anyone that pleased could furnish his
own vehicle and motive power and
use the railway whichever he pleased,
by paying the state tolls for it's use,
just as the turnpikes of the day were
used.
But it was soon discovered that a
certain character of vehicle was neces-
sary and that rules and regulations as
to times and manner of using the rail-
ways were absolutely necessary for
their successful operation, says the
Boston Globe.
The ordinary shippers found it too
expensive to furnish the necessary
plant, and that they could get this
transportation done by large and we'll
equipped shippers much more cheaply
than they could do it themselves, so
that in practice the business drifted
into the hands of few individuals and
companies, who did this service for the
many.
The railway as constructed was in
tended for the horse as motive power,
though the locomotive was introduced
as an experiment shortly after the rail-
way was completed.
The following, among the rules and
regulations adopted by the canal COM
mission for the regulation of the rail
way, may be of interest:
'Section 90. No car shall carry a
greater load than three tons on the
Columbia S5 Philadelphia railway, no1
more than three and one-half tons on
the Portage railway, nor shall any bur-
den car travel at greater speed than
five miles per hour, unless the car
body shall be supported on good steel
springs"
Section 1Os. 1t shall be the duty of
the conductors of ears moving with
less speed upon railways, upon notice
by ringing bell, blowing a horn or
otherwise of the approach of loco
motive engine or other cars moving
in the; same direction at a greater
speed, to proceed with all possible dis
patch to the first switch in the course
of their passage and pass off said
track until said locomotive engine OIL
other cars moving at greater speed can
pass by. The conductors of the slow
er cars are directed to open and close
the switches so as to leave them in
proper order. Any person who shall
refuse or neglect to comply with the
provisions of this regulation shall, for
every offense, forfeit and pay the sum
of ten dollars"

RUN WAGONS BY TROLLEY.

With the Lombard Germ system ou1

ICES two overhead wires-one positive
ana one negative. Instead of driving
the vehicles entirely by motors con,
nected with the axle, an auxiliary de.
vice called an ''automotor trolley" is
used which runs along the overhead
wires. In other words, the vehicles
are towed along by a self-propelled
motor trolley. The towing trolley is
driven by three-phase induction mo.

ried in a frame which also has bear.

motor.
The current is fed to the trolley
motor from the omnibus motor

The Lombard-Gerin system has
been tried on a line extending from
the village of Samois to Fontaine:
bleau, distance of about five kilo.
meters. On this line the car or ON.
nibus is driven by double motor
operating at q tension of 500 volts
direct current. The time taken for
the journey Is about 20 minutes. The
total energy used is 543 kilowatt

1t is stated that the low expense

for country districts, where an ex.
pensive track construction would be
prohibitive on account of the small,
amount of traffic.

Daily Digger, Sept. 21, 1913:
Since the appearance ON our streets
at mysterious intervals of the man
from Mars most of the doctors and
lawyers signs have disappeared. The
occupation of the latter is gone when
every one in the court room, themselves
and witnesses included, tells the exact
truth. The Martian is a daily visitor at
the courthouse.
Various rumors indicate that the re-
cent revolution against medical men
began with one Mike Doolan of the
Anaconda mine. 1t seems that Dr.
Dash, the company physician, while
writing prescription for Mike was
startled by the sudden appearance of
the giant form and truth extracting
eye of the Marian; hence Doolan's dis
coyery that all the potent symbols on
the bit of white paper signified no
more than salt, water and soda.
"Faith," he was heard to declaim to
gaping crowd of listeners, IAN if

The man from Mars was reforming
the schools yesterday with his optical
search light. During his visit to the
high school the history lesson was q
marvellous disclosure. Heroes were
shown up to be only very common
men. Washington had told several lies
and sworn several swears. Youth was
instructed that goodness is Siamese
twin brother to loneliness; that many
bad people are happy and various 9TH
err truths that caused the dismissal bell
to ring in agitated haste at 2:30. At
the general teachers meeting like
commotion was caused by the same
planetary headlight. We refrain from
publishing the remarks OF the superin-
tendent to his teachers. The Martian

Brutally Tortured.

A case came to light that for
persistent and unmerciful torture
has perhaps never been equalled.
Joe Golobick, of Colusa, writes.
"For 10 years | endured insuffer-
able pain from rheumatism and
nothing relieved me though | tried
everything known. | came across
Electric Bitters and it's the great
est medicine on earth for that
trouble. A few bottles of it COM

and that wreckage and destruction fol-
lowed in his path are matters of cur
rent history. We need not repeat them
here.
When he created such terrible havoc
in our halls of congress, as a result of
which we have had to call extra cleo
tions to fill the numerous vacant seats
in both houses on account of the Doodle
and bribery scandals; when he tam
pered with the presidents message,
which told us how many millions ac-
crued to that noble statesman from the
sugar trust; when our marts of COM
merce had been closed by him; when
the Stock Exchange had been made the
abode of spiders and silence; when at
the last he committed the heinous
crime of disclosing and therefore de-
stroying the methods by which a mod
el machine made city government was
conducted in our great vice protecting
city of New York; when, in short. our
whole system of living had been turned
upside down and inside out by the Ar
chimedes screw of that compelling eye,
1t was time for the nation to rebel. And
we did.
No common methods would avail to

Joined in an effort to hypnotize the
Martian back to his lair in the empy-
rean. Standing under the open sky and
looking toward the east, every person
in the United States over eighteen
years of age concentrated his thoughts
and prayers upon that one object.
The hum of industry was stopped;
every train and mill and store and fac
tory in the whole vast area of the conti-
nent was blanketed in one tremendous
silence as the millions of people faced
the morning sun as though by the
swing of a mighty pendulum swayed
by common human impulse, for every
soul on earth has some dread of a pow
er which compels the unvarnished
truth at all times.
The common enemy was In Washing
ton at the time, ascending the steps of
the Congressional library. So many
hostile thought currents focused upon
his will proved too much for him. He
was overwhelmed by an inclination to
call his ar ship and journey ag n
homeward.
At 1920 black speck appeared in
the sky above the gilded dome of the
library. At 1890 he stepped into his
conjured air ship, and the awful eye
was seen to close slowly three times as
the vessel rose above the city. l-A-.-.,szs
