new RAILROAD
Put In Operation in Korea-Line
Solidly Built.

Toxic, Dec. 1.-The Soul-Fu-San
Railroad, which was recently compile
ted, was put in operation today. The
opening of the road makes the time
between Toxic and Soul fifty hours.
When the Japanese, after their oc-
cupation Of Korea, announced their
intention of completing the railway
from Flu San on the south coast, to
Soul, the capital, by the beginning
of November, the accomplishment of
this undertaking was generally re-
garded as impossible. However, they
pushed the work with all possible
energy and the rapidity with which
the line was constructed caused as
Punishment on the part of all foreign
observers. The line is solidly built
and is no mere military railway.

THE BUILDING

Especial to the Palladium
Cambridge City, November 3d.
A number of persons throughout the
eastern part Of Indiana will be sur
prised to find that they did not win
the building which was given away
by Thomas Hull, of this city, for the
person guessing the nearest to the
vote in Indiana during the last cleo
ton. The contest was brought to a
close the morning Of the election,
but the votes were not counted until
today. Mr.. Null, of Rushville, came
the nearest to the correct number
and wins the building. Mr.. Mull's
guess was 671,171. Professor Ault

next. Mr.. Ault's guess was 10 less
than that Of Mr.. Null. Over $4,000
votes were cast in the contest. The
building is valued at $500 and is
practically new. Mr.. Hull desired
to close out his business and took
this method Of disposing of the
building.
A number Of local people were in

City and several Of them We're posi-
tive that their guess would be the
lucky one.

HABIT OF NOT FEELING WE'LL.

There is such thing as getting
into a habit. Persons unwittingly let
habits grow upon them, and often,
by so doing, make themselves OBJ
noxious to those around them. Un1
der the caption, "The Habit of Not
Feeling WE'LL" Medical Talk for De-
cember contains the following:
Some people simply have a habit
OF not feeling well. They get up in
the morning expecting to have a
headache, and morning after morn
ing they complain of headache, until
1T simply becomes a habit. If they
stopped really to consider whether
their head ached Or not it may be
they would find there was no head
ache at ALL But they have simply
got used to saying they have the
headache and so they go on saying
1t morning after morning, headache
or no headache.
Instead of sleeping in a we'll ven
tllated room, and getting out in the
fresh air in the morning and taking
in some deep breaths of air. they
just settle down to whining about
a headache. They keep this up until
it becomes chronic.
And so it is with many other lit
tie ailments. They have got in the
habit of having something the matter
with them, some little pet ailment,
and they wouldn't give it up for any
thing. Their friends have all learn
ed just what this particular ailment
is and know just what to inquire
about, and they also know just about
what answer they will get. Really
many times this pet ailment gives its
owner no trouble whatever, and he
never even thinks of it unless he is
asked about it or has a chance to
talk about it. The truth is the pet
ailment is a myth, existing only in
the mind Of the person who has
adopted it.
1t might be we'll for you just to
watch yourself for few days and
see if you do not complain a great
many times when there is really lit
tie or nothing the matter with YOU
Watch yourself when a friend greets
you with "How are you this morn
ing?" Be careful that you do not
commence saying that you have a
wretchedly bad cold or you didn't
sleep we'll last night and are feeling
miserable, and so on, and so on.
Just habit, just simply a habit.
You don't feel nearly as bad as you
say you do, and as soon as you get
through with your usual complaint
you rattle away talking about some
thing else and are totally unmindful

Dixie BUILT AGES SINCE.

Remains OF an EarthWork Evidently
Constructed in Prehistoric Times.
The Western states and territories
contain many evidences that this con-
tinent was once peopled by race
well advanced in the arts of civiliza-
ton. A wonder of apparently prehis-
i.0ric origin has been discovered re-
Gently by surveyor in northern Ida
no. 1t is the well-preserved remains
of a dixie, and lies along the east
side of a swamp known as Hoodoo
lake, Kootenai county, in g country
thickly covered with timber and I'M
derbrush.
The dixie is 5000 feet in length, is
built carefully Of rock and covered
with earth. In dimensions it is four
feet in height and three feet wide on
top. The dixie is broken in two or
three places for rod or two, end at
one point apparently it has been cut
in recent years. There are also evil
dences that parts of the dixie have
been broken and swept away by
floods in times long past. Trees over
100 years old growing on the crest
of the dixie also attest in some degree
to it's antiquity.
The surveyor, William Ashley, was
at first inclined to the belief that it
was an old MORAN Of the glacial pc
riod, such as are frequently encoun-
tered in the Northwest. Upon close
investigation, however, he was con-
WINGED that it was the work of man.
owing to the singular regularity of
its form and the materials which COM
pose it. The earth's surface must
have undergone some great changes
since the construction of this dixie,
for the present geological formation
of the locality renders it useless
either for reclamation purposes or TO
keep back the water. 1t could not
have been the work of Indians. It's
origin is suggestive of vast expanses
of time and recalls the work of the
ancient mound builders.

MAKING PRECIOUS STONES.
Chips Of the Ruby Turned Into Stones
Of Commercial! Size.

Rudolph Oblatt, a chemist and ex-
pert on precious stones, is reported to
have invented q process for the fus-
ing of particles of ruby, known as
ruby waste into stones of CONNER
cial size. The stones which he has
produced have received considerable
attention from local biologists and
are pronounced genuine. He selects
from the small, rough, genuine ruby
particles whose colors and qualities
are practically the same. One chip
he places upon the top of U-shaped
platinum tube. He then applies the
heat, which is concentrated by a spe-
cial process, and forced upon the ruby
with an air pressure of 500 pounds.
AS the chip is melted he adds other
chips until he has built up a genuine
ruby whose weight varies from five to
ten carats. The operation requires
from one TO two hours
After the ruby has been produced a
difficult task remains-that of cooling
the stone, which is at tremendous
heat. This is accomplished by sci.
entific process which prevents crack.
ing. The ruby is sent to the precious
stone cutters, where 1t passes exactly
through the same process as stone
from the Burmah mines.--New York

PUTS BAN ON WIDOWS.
New York Magistrate Wants Maidens

Magistrate Luke j. Connorton Of
Brooklyn has just promulgated the
opinion from the bench that Widows
should not be admitted to dances to
the exclusion of maidens and they
should not try to make a matrimonial
agency of a dance hail." The edict
was promulgated because the munic-
ipal hall in which the st. Patricks
day ball is to be held is too small to
accommodate all who have applied for
admission. The vote among the man
ayers OF the ball on the question of
the admission of widows was a tie,

stands as the final decision, from
which there is no appeal.

WESTERN CANADA's RESOURCES.
Farming Very SuccessfuI.

Farming Very Guccessful.
BY Western or Northwest Canada is
usually meant the great agricultural
country west of Ontario, and north of
Minnesota, North Dakota. and Mon
tana. Part of it is agricultural prairie,
treeless in places, park like in others,
part is genuine plains, well adapted to
cattle ranches; part requires irriga-
ton for successful tillage, most of it
does rot. The political divisions of
this region are the Province of Mani
toba and the territorial district of AS
siniboia, Saskatchewan, Alberta and
Athabaska. At present, however, the
latter is too remote for immediate
practical purposes.
The general character of the soil of
Western Canada is rich black, clay
loan with a clay subsoil Such a soil
is particularly rich in food for the
wheat plant. The subsoil is clay,
which retains the winter frost until 1t
is thawed out by the warm rays of
the sun and drawn upward to stimu-
late the growth Of the young wheat, so
that even in dry seasons wheat is a
good crop. The clay soil also retains
the heat of the sun later in the sum-
mer and assists in the early ripening
of the grain. 1t is claimed that Gull
tivation has the effect of increasing
the temperature of the soil several
degrees, as well as the air above it.
Western Canada climate is good
cold in winter, hot in summer. but
with cool nights. Violent storms of
any kind are rare. The rainfall is not
heavy. 1t varies with places, but aver
ages about IL inches. 1t falls usually
at the time the growing crops need it.
The Department of the Interior, OF
tawa, Canada, has agents established
at different points throughout the
United States who will be pleased to
forward an Atlas of Western Canada
and give such other information as to
railway rate, etc. as may be required.
That agriculture in Western Canada
pays is shown by the number Of testi.
monials given by farmers. The fol.
lowing is an extract made from a let.
ter from farmer near Moose Jaw:
"At the present time | own sixteen
hundred acres of land, fifty horses and
large pasture fenced containing a
thousand acres. These horses run out
all winter and come in in the spring
quite fat. A man with money judi.
ciously expended will make compe-
teuce very shortly. l consider in the
