RUNNING Trains Without Stops.

Belgian railroad managers have
planned the running of trains on a
system that will obviate the loss of
time ana power occasioned by stops.
A Belgian pornal. Electro, gives this
outline of the project: 'The train,
which may be drawn by any power,
has attached to the rear end car
equipped with motors. enabling it to
attain a speed somewhat above that
of the train. Before approaching a
station the passengers and baggage
intended for that point are trans
ferred to the rear car. The latter is
then detached from the train and
brought to a stop at the station. the
train proceeding at full speed. Pas
sengers who wish to take the train in
other points are placed on car SINH
lar to that detached from the train.
This stands on side track, and oIg
the approach of the train has passed
the station, the car proceeds out upon
the track at full speed. catches the
train and is coupled to it, transfers it's
passengers to the train. and receives
those for the next stop, when the
process is repeated"

SCARCITY OF WHALEBONE.
Monster of the Deep Which Furnished
the Article Nearly Extinct.

Experts say there is only about six
tons of whalebone left in the world.
That means that the Greenland whale
that carries about half ton OF the
bone" in it's cavern of mouth, IS
we'll nigh extinct. says London Mod
ern Society. Ten or IL of these gigan-
tic whales yet roam the Arctic seas,
and when these are killed there are
none to take their place. There are
other species of whales that yield pa
leen, or whalebone. but 1T is coarse
and small, and in no way to be COM
pared to the great shining plates, eight
or ten feet long, which are taken from
the mouth of the Greenland whale.
The cachelot, or sperm whale, is hunt
ed for it's oil and its spermaceti; 1T
possesses no baleen. having instead
row of stout white teeth yielding ex-
cellent ivory.
Whalebone is curious stuff. being
light, flexible, tough, and elastic to
degree that renders it unique for many
purposes Steel has taken its place in
the umbrella trade and in corset man
ufacture, but whalebone holds its own

of cotton or pongee shall be worn. Any
one mourning debts owing to extrava-
gance of costume or living shall be
considered law breaker.
~. The staple Of diet shall be un-
hulled rice. At social entertainments
one guest for one host is the proper
limit. Only when men are assembled
for military exercises should many
dine together.
90. 1t is the duty Of every samurai
to make himself acquainted with the
principles Of his craft. Extravagant
displays of adornment are forbidden
in battle.
&c. Dancing or organizing dances is
unlawful; it Is likely to betray sword
carrying men to acts of violence.
Whatever a man does should be done
with his heart. Therefore for SOL
der military amusements alone are
suitable. The penalty for violating
this provision is death by suicide.
~. Learning should be encouraged.
Military books must be read The spir-
it of loyalty and filial piety must be
educated before all things. POEM
composing pastimes are not to be en-
gagged in by samurai; to be addicted to
such amusements is to resemble a wo-
man. A man born a sumarai should
live and die sword in hand. Unless he
be trained thus in time of peace he
will be useless in the hour OF stress.
Whoever finds these rules too Sc
we're shall be relieved from service
Should investigation show that any
one is so unfortunate as to lack man
ly qualities he shall be singled out and
dismissed forthwith The imperative
character Of these instructions must
not be doubted"
The spirit developed under such dis
cipIine is largely responsible for the
Japanese soldiers freedom from effem-
macy, corruption or loose and unsol-
dierly habits. Every man who wears
the Mikado's uniform today feels that
he belongs to caste and proudly ac-
cepts it's traditions.

How the Japs Knew it.

A story is being told which sheds an
interesting light on the marvellous
foresight and precaution that charac
terized the preparations of the Jap
anese for the present war. Some years
ago Japanese agent came to Philadel-
phia with letter of introduction to
a prominent Philadelphia who had
travelled in Japan.
This Philadelphia tells the story.
The letter was written by Japan
csc officer who knew the Philadelphia,
and it stated that if he would help the
bearer in what he desired that the
favor would be greatly appreciated The
favor was for the Philadelphia to
simply introduce the agent to a first
class firm of detectives. This was done
and the agent described as a RESPONSE
BILE person He had plenty of money
and bargain was made with the firm,
the latter to receive a large sum of
money.
The detectives were required to dress
in the clothes of laborers and secure
work in Cramps shipyard and then to
gather full information about the Rus
sian battle ship Variag, then in early
course of construction. This they did,
and the Japanese government was sup
piled with every detail in the construc-
ton and armament of the Variag. The
officers at Cramps do not yet know
how the Japs obtained it.-Philadel.

9Th scut!" Ditsey muttered.
Muldoon's lips we're curled contempt
uously, "You ought to have seen tn
sneak creepin'-creepin' round tn
bend, his hand at his holster" he re-
marked absently. "He didn't seem t
be lookin' for his pardner with love in
his heart. I'll git him! BY the way.
Ditsey, drop your gun I'll stick Till
mornin'. My word! T'wont be no both
er t. jerk him up. He didn't stop fur
a sandwich event"
The prospector promptly turned
over the others weapon.
Lets eat somepin, sheriff" he said
thoughtfully.
Partly because he had a violent idea,
and partly because the sheriff and the
other had gone back. Ditsey turned
toward Palo Pinto in full daylight. He
drew UP at nightfall at the camp
where "Fire-pox" had complained or
heat troubles, and asked to be left
alone. In the earliest light of the next
day, Ditsey set about his idea. He
remember how "Fire-pox" had come
in coverd with sweat and stone dust
and carrying his pick; he remembered
the look in "Fire-poX's" eyes, and
what the sheriff had said about his
man being "clean loco when there's
money in sight," he recalled the sher-
ifs word picture of ''Fire-pox" coming
around the swerve in the darken1ng
canyon. A little search, and yet
little more search, and Ditsey came
to spot low down on the canyon
wall which was covered with artificial
plaster and dry shrubs.
He scraped away the artful coating
and beheld golden promise which
"Fire-pox" had schemed to develop
alone. And Ditsey was Inundated
most of all because it was proven
that another mans eyes were keener
for 'signs" than his own.
He fingered there alone for many
days enthralled in study. 1t was no
belated outcropping, but one OF ma
lures great caches. When there re-
NAMED but provisions to see him back
to Palo Pinto he staked out exactly
the claim he wanted and left the spot,
Jealous of the sun above and the wa
ter beneath.
He was surprised to find that the
hunted "Fire-poX" had not left the
canyon at the Mutton Trail crossing.
At least the tracks Of Muldoon's pony
continued beyond, and that was
enough. It was the fourth midday;
Ditsey saw black moving clot on the
river bank 200 yards ahead. The burros
ierked up often as the blotch was
neared and shifted the sudden oppres-
sions of the air. The man strained
forward, chilled. yet sweating. A Vul-
ture arose with a roar that shocked
the canyon-then others! Ditseys I'M
derstanding was all but complete.
Which had fallen-the sheriff or his
man?
Ditsey passed by, brushing the far
wall of the canyon, choked by the hot
blasts of tainted air. A boot pro-
truded. The sole was broad and HAT
in no way akin to the sheriff's F'rek
Muldoon was likely spending his re-
ward by this time back in Campinas.
Evidently "Fire-pox" had squirmed,
Back in Palo Pinto at length, Dit
sey Forncrook told tale that touched
upon the finish of "Fire-pox" and
| turned half the town up the canyon
| for claims.-New York Evening Post.

TO A WATERFOWL.

Whittier, midst falling dew,
While glow the heavens with the last
steps of day,
Far, through their rosy depths, dost
thou pursue
Thy solitary way?
Vainly the fowler's eye
Might mark thy distant flight to do thee
wrong,
AS, darkly painted in the crimson sky,
Thy figure tloats along.
Seek'st thou the plashy brink
OF weedy lake, or marge of river wide,
Or where the rocking pillows rise and
sink
On the chafed ocean-side?
There is a Power whose care
Teaches thy way along that painless
coast
The desert and illimitahle air.
Gone wandering, but not lost.

EnoIish Kissing Customs.

At Newcastle-on-Tyne, England, az
periodic intervals the mayor and coz
poration assert their rights over the
shores of their native river by pro
ceeding in state to various points,
where they proclaim their authority.
Perhaps as an inducement for the
mayor to undertake this particular
duty. on landing on the green he iss
permitted by ancient custom to kits
the prettiest girl present, comforting
upon her a sovereign as compensa-
ton. At Bournemouth. where the

an ancient and loving custom for the
retiring mayor to give his successor
an osculatory salute.

All day thy wings have famed,
At that far height, the cold, thin atmos-
phere,
Yet stoop not, weary, to the welcome
land,
Though the dark night is near.
And soon that toll shall end;
Soon shalt thou find summer home,
and rest,
And scream among thy fellows; reeds
shall bend,
Soon, DER thy sheltered nest.
Thou'rt gone, the abyss of heaven
Hath swallowed up thy form; yet, ON
my heart
Deeply hath sunk the lesson thou hast
given,
And shall not soon depart:
He who, from zone to zone,
Guides through the boundless sky thy
certain fight,
In the long way that l must tread
alone,
Will lead my steps Alright.
