Found Mad stone.

A short time ago while Joe Lee was
butchering a steer belonging to J. B.
Tanners herd, he discovered In its
paunch a black hard substance about
the size Of a good big Ben Davis ap-
pie, says the Pennington Times-Hust.
Ter. Curiosity prompted them to In
vestigate and the object when wash
ed proved to be a stone and what Is
known as q mad stone. Tests have
been made with 1t AMI It seems TO
have the drawing" power OF many
mustard plasters combined. Mr.. Tan.
ner was offered $500 for It shortly Of
ter 1t was found, but refased the Of.
fer. He has since been offered $1,000
for 1t, but refused to part with the
stone at even that price. Mr.. Tanner
has now gone to Arizona and sends
back word to have the stone carefully
preserved, and Is more convinced than
ever that the discovery Is a very
valuable one. We have never given
much credence to the mad stone cura
tives. but those who have examined \
assured us that 1t has very remark
able properties and, that II applied tc
the skin, will act much more readily
than a mustard plaster. Mr.. Tanner
has had the stone examined by ex
perts and 1t has been pronounced 2

Speed Of Fast Express Trains.

George w. Tunell, a railway expert,
has prepared statistics showing that
the speed In actual running Of Ameri.
can railroad trains Is higher than that
or the trains Of European roads. The
average speed Of IS trains between
Jersey City and Philadelphia Is 1852
miles an hour; 80 trains between
New York and Buffalo. 1916; 3 trains
between Buffalo and st. Louis. 37.7S;
1 trains from New York to Boston,

OF trains from Leipsic to Hamburg

From now on it will cost more to
ship flour from Pacific coast points
than 1t has In the past. Under an
agreement entered into by all steam
ship lines engaged In t~ranspacifc
trade. the rate has been advanced to
"a per ton. The agreement provides
also that the differential in favor Of
San Francisco that has operated to
the disadvantage Of millers on the
North Pacific coast shall be abolished.
San Francisco has had the benefit Of
a flour rate as low as 81 per ton, but
the northern steamship lines would
not follow the cut OF the China Com

cost Of shipment between Puget sound
or Portland and San Francisco has

a change will take place In the near

It is likely that he will be moved to

Plan to Prevent Collisions.
The Chicago, Cincinnati & Louis

menting with q new system to pre-

an elaborate scale. More tests, how
ever, will be made before it is adopt
ed. AT one Of the interlocking tow
ers by use of this system the dis
patcher is able to follow the trains
under his care for five miles on each
side of his tower. Electric wires con-
meet at points along the line with
rails that run into the towers. BY
means of these wires the movements
Of the trains are shown upon a chart.
