Moore took a long look ahead. and
swept his eyes around the waters that

valves and cocks and saw that every
thing was in good shape. and with a

the throttle for the race before him.

through the last quarter with the wire

as many minutes under ordinary cir

circumstances. A hundred lives and

the engineers keeping. and an angry

An accidental experiment in the veloc-

spondent He went to his telephone,
and Just as he put the receiver to his
ear he heard the click Of another tele-
phone. Another receiver had been re-
moved and the line was open. Then he
heard through the telephone the shrek
of a locomotive whistle. and a few sec
onGs later the sound came through the
open window in the usual way. Looking
up he saw a locomotive half a mile
away. passing the house of a friend.
The mystery was solved. The telephone
that was omen was that at the distant
house. and the sound Of the whistle had
come through its transformation into an
electric current quicker than 1t haE trav-

Perhaps one of the newest ideas in
framing is the employment of willow

this style of frame would only be de-

DO YOUR OWN MANlCURING.
There's No Reason Why Any Girl
Should Have Hands That Look
Coarse and Rough.

This is the season of the year when it
is more than ever difficult TO keep ones
nails III or0er. Living out of doors, prac-
ticing many sports work havoc TO the
hands. unless a girl is careful. To go
regularly to manicure IS expensive,
but with little time and by simple means
it is possible to do much toward improy-
ing the nails.
The skin at the base is inclined to
grow over them, but that can be easily
prevented. Fill a basin with nice hot,
soapy water, and soak your hands in
this for al least ten minutes BY that
time the skin will be soft. and with
blunt stick of orange wood (obtainable
at any drugeist's) can be pressed gently
back into its proper position, so that
the pretty half moons at the base of the
nail can be seen in all their glory.
But remember that too great pressure
or ungentle treatment of any kind will
probably result in a crop Of those little
white spots that are so disfiguring
After pressing back the skin and thor
oughly drying the hands. take half
lemon and keep digging your fingers
into this until the nails are saturated
with the juice. There is nothing like it
for improving and identifying them.
Wipe off the lemon with a soft rag.
roll corner of your towel up into
hard pad. and with this give the nails a
brisk rub TO restore the polish.
This treatment once a week and a
careful pushing back of the skin every
time the hands are washed will soon
bring about a marvellous Improvement
in the appearance of the nails To pol
ish. rub briskly on the palm of the other
hand.
