Railroads Of Early Days

did you ever hear of Cap Jim Nc

the N. Y. G., with whom the writer
had been permitted to take a run.

Cap. Jims day when he was running
an engine out West, the business was
good deal like running steamboat
Engines in those days were not num-
bered as now They were named
after somebody or something. Cap.
Jims engine was named the Chicka-
saw.
1T goes without saying that
with all of the advancements made
since then an engineer had to have
more good horse sense than now, for
now everything is put in his hands,
while in Cap. Jim's day the whole
business was put on the engineer, or

gave the engineer was, DO the best

on the old II. & st. j., the Horrible

He said there was no inspirators to
force water into the boiler; no glass
gauges to tell where you were.
"The pumps were only operated

you ran out of fuel between wooding
stations the farmers would generously
let you have supply, to be repaid
on the return trip. With good hot
fire in the box the flames would roar
out of the stack. There weren't the
precautions about sparks they use
now.
Farmers were friendly toward the
railroad, and didn't light on it with
a suit every time little piece of
meadow was burned. The greatest
dread the engine driver had was the
character of the track ahead of him.
He never knew whether the last train
over it had smashed it into the earth
or not When he came to one of the
few places where he felt tolerably
safe he would let her slide, and the
little old engine would heave and
pitch like a Gkiff in squall. 1t was
worse than spell of seasickness till
a man got used to it.

on the civilization of the firsC dynasty.
A part of large glazed pottery vase
of Mena, the first king of the first
dynasty, about 4,700 B. c., showed
that even then they were making
glaze on a considerable scale, and also
inlaying it with a second color. The
ivory carving was astonishingly fine,
a figure of a king showing a subtlety
and power of expression as good as
any work of later ages At about
1000 B. c.. an ivory statuette of
Cheops, the builder of the Great
Pyramid, was found the only portrait
known of him. Making every possible
allowance for the marvellous rapidity
of art development, must not many
thousands of years have rolled be-
tween the pristine jewellers in the Nile
Valley and the men who carved ivory
statuettes and manufactured glazed
work inlaid with second colors? 1t is
a long, long march from flint imple-
ments to the solemn temple, ivory
statuettes and human portraits.

Houses Built of Sand

Houses built of sand, but as sub
stantial and durable as granite, have
been made possible by process just
perfected in England by Mr.. L. p.
Ford of Gresford.
Mr. Ford is well known in South
Africa, where before the Boer war
he founded Fordsburg, a suburb of
Johannesburg, and also the Johannes
burg water works and the Pretoria
Electric Lighting Company,
A bed of clean sand and ground
quicklime are all the materials need

The ingredients are mixed in proper
proportions mechanically and forced
by a screw into a mold formed of a
very strong steel cylinder.
After the mound is filled it is placed
in box and the air it contains is
sucked out by an air pump. Hot water
IS then admitted. The water rushes
into every minute space and sets the
particles of lime to stacking. Tho

Under the influence of the heat and

The rock is of the same compost

most durable of building materials.
The secret of making the Roman GEM

The new building stone costs but

The secret of Mr.. Ford's success is
said to lie in his use of a cylindrical

square molds. They did not get an
even distribution of the internal and

cry that very few stems are made to
order.
The smallest stein holds exactly one
eighth of pint. These are seldom
seen in barrooms or rathskellers, even
for exhibition purposes. They are pre-
sented to children in families, just as
the English and Americans present
china and porcelain cups, with the
name of the baby printed thereon in
ornate colored letters. These small
stems. like the large ones, generally
record some incident in German lit

much as the big ones. Two dollars
for small stein of this description is
very moderate price to pay.
All imported stems are porcelain
lined The cheapest sort, such as are
ordinarily kept on bars in ice packed
tubs during the summer, cost about
fifteen cents each. There is a heavy
duty on them.

Again, the truth is that the poison
of the RATHER does not easily get into
the wound inflicted by the fangs In
the average human being. For the
average human being, nowadays, is
clothed, and the holes in the fangs
through which the poison comes are
rather far up toward the roof of the
mouth. Consequently, very often the
point of the fangs may enter the skin,
while the poison dribbles out harm
lessly enough upon the trousers or
