Locomotive Fuel.

Inventions, new uses and adaptations
are the results of the wants and neces.
stiles of the time. The adoption of
fuel oil on the locomotives employed
on the railroads traversing the interior
valleys Of some sections of the West
has removed one OF the chief sources
of danger from fire in the ripening
grain fields. Locomotives using it do
not emit any sparks or eject red-hot
cinders to ignite the withered grass
along the right of way or the parched
grain in the neighboring fields. Hence.
forth grain field fires will probably
pass out Of the future history of the
wheat-growing valleys; the railroad
claim agents occupation will practi.
cally disappear, big leak in the cor.
poration's treasury will drop to CORE.
spond with the diminished risk the use
of fuel oil on locomotives has caused.
We believe that fuel oils is destined
to play no small part in the economics
of the future.-Epworth Herald.

an order for cat. She killed several
mice the first week we had her, and
then the mice learned that there was

There are two places that people
go to while staying in Capri or on
their way there. The first is the Blue
grotto. There are many caves and
grottoes near Capri, but this is the
most wonderful. 1t is visited only on
a bright day. The entrance Is but
three feet high, and one must lie nat
in boat in order to enter.
The whole cavern shimmers in o
blue light, and the water is sapphire.
This is caused by the reflection Of the
sunlight upon the half-hidden water.
I'm the middle of the grotto, on one
side, is q sort Of landing which leads
to a hole. You get out of the boat at
this landing and go up some steps
which are decayed and broken in
places. and then you see this hole. It
was supposed to lead to a passageway
to the villa Of Tiberius. Perhaps 1t
was used for Tiberius to go down
through to battle, or perhaps he took
his slaves down there to watch them
drown, as a change from the amuse.
ment he ordinarily enjoyed or throw

below.
"Tiberius spent the last ten years
of his life at Capri. He had twelve
villas built on top Of great and steep
