Record Run of Locomotive.

In this country the general method is
to run locomotive for a limited num-
Der of years, and then to relegate it to
the scrap heap in favor of more mod
ern type of engine. On the other side,
however, the practice is to retain To-
connective in service as long as it will
run, irrespective of the developments
and improvements that may be incor-
porated in the progress of time. The
result is that upon the English rail-
roads may be seen engines still in hard
use which we should consider long past
their term of service. Yet no English
engine has attained the unique distinc-
ton achieved by the locomotive No.

phere that enVeloped him. Then, as he
dropped his eyes, he caught sight Of
something that gave him a sudden hope
of escape. Over the granite hung the
end of his reins, where they had fallen
when he grasped unavailingly at the
whip-stock. Might lie not take firm
hold of these, start his horses, and thus
be hoisted out of that fiery pit?
Barely had the idea suggested itself
to him when the wind changed again,
the smoke blew back, and once more
shrouded him in its pitcby clouds.
Sanders brain was swimming.
Strength and consciousness could not
endure more than twenty seconds
longer. His shoes were burning on his
feet. His skin was shriyeling and
cracking.
With closed eyes he swayed forward,
felt about until he found the loop of
the reins and hooked his fingers round
them. 1t would not do for him to bear
his whole weight upon them, for they
might break and let him fall back, thus
destroying his only chance. Even in
his extremity he thought of that.
There was no time to waste. How
should he start his horses? He tried
to shout to them, but so cracked AID
feeble was his voice that they did not
recognize it and refused to move. He
must try something else. Already ten
of his precious seconds were gone.
Sanders stopped, picked up a frag-
ment of rock and launched it at ran
dom through the smoke, in the dircc-
ton of old white Billy, the off leader
of the team. Fortunately it struck the
horse fairly on his flank, roGsing him
suddenly from his reverie. Billy
started forward and the others fol-
lowed his lead. There was a heavy
stamping of hoofs, a creaking of un-
oiled axles. The team was in motion.
The moment the driver flung the rock
he seized the reins strongly again with
both hands. Barely had he done so
when the loop frightened with quick
jerk. 1t was the second he had been
waiting for, the one on which his life
depended. Without loosing his hold he
sprang up, sticking the tips of his toes
into the interstices between the blocks
of granite. The force of the pull
hurled him against the wall, but he
chung to the leathern straps with des-
perate energy.
Had the reins given way all would
have been lost. But they were new and
strong. purchased the day before to
replace an old pair, and they did not
break. In a moment Sanders was
dragged up and out of the kiln, across
the granite edge, and along the planks
of the staging, narrowly escaping be-
ing run over by the broad tired wheels.
Less than q minute and half had
elapsed since the drivers feet first
struck the bottom of the pit, but it
would be hard to imagine more fear
full ninety seconds than that through
which he had passed. AS he looked
back upon it afterward it seemed to
him like brief but horrible nightmare.

u - J. top Harry Sanders stopped
IGE his horses and twined his
reins round the whip-stock standing
in its case on the right of the seat.
Then he pulled on his leathern
sgrabs," and began to pitch his load of
line rock, piece by piece, into the gran
flk lined pit that yawned below him,
vomiting forth a ceaseless tide of
smoke and heat
Underneath, in the body of the kiln,
were twenty or thirty tons of lime
rock in every stage of burning, from
the thoroughly calcined Jumps at the
bottom, which needed only shoveling
out and cooling off to prepare them for
packing in the casks, to the fragments
last thrown in at the top, crusted with
coal SCOT, but not yet heated enough to
show any signs of crumbling. From
this mass, through which the arches
sent steady flood of streaming flame,
spun out by the forced draft, rose
mingled column Of carbonic acid gas
and coal smoke, deadly combination
for the human lungs.
IF man ever falls into one Of those
tops, he's donev burner had once re-
marked, and no one who had seen the
smoking pits in full blast would be
likely to question the truth Of the as
Sertion.
It was Monday morning, and the rock
in the kiln had settled a considerably
distance. The top was something over
twelve feet in diameter. From this
point the body of the furnace gradually
contracted, until just above the arches
it measured barely eight feet across.
Up to within two or three yards of the
surface it was lined with fire brick, but
for the remainder of the distance
blocks Of so-called fire granite were en-
ployed.
The workmen below never inten-
tionally put on fresh coal when a cart
was being unloaded above, but some
times they could not avoid doing so,
rand then the driver was subjected to
very unpleasant smoking.
On this morning Sanders was unfor-
tunate. He had not thrown off
dozen pieces when he heard the scrap
ing of shovels, and in a few seconds,
curling up through every crevice in the
rough pit bottom came the sooty vapor.
Thicker and thicker it grew, eddying
and whirling round him in choking
clouds. But the team must be unload
ed, and he could not stop. The faster
he worked the sooner he would be
through.
With dropped heads the horses stood
patiently, waiting for the signal to
start. They were used to the smoke,
and, indeed, were so far forward that
they did not get nearly so much as
their driver. He was completely hid
den by it. A spectator short distance
away could not have told whether or
not he was still on the top of his load.
Sanders worked rapidly, tossing the
Jumps one after another into the kiln
top. The wagon was perhaps quar-
ter unloaded when his left toe caught
nnder an especially large piece Of rock
and he stumbled forward. Then a
fragment under his other foot gave
way and he pitched over the wheel
into the mouth Of the kiln. AS he fell

MOST EXTENSIVE OF THE WAR
Mobilization Of Reserves in Seven Rus
sian Districts.

Mobilization Of Reserves in Seven Rus
sian Districts.
St. Petersburg, Dec. 22.-Mobiliza-
ton of the reserves has been an
nounced in seven military districts.
This is the third and most extensive
mobilization of the war and will add
about 100000 men to the army in the
Far East. 1t is thought that the whole
force can be placed in the field by
spring, when the problem of food and
fuel will be more easily met and the
transportation of the troops will create
less stress upon the Transsiberian
railway. 1t will bring General Kuro-
patkin's effective force, roughly esti-
mated, to $4,000 men,
The mobilization affects portion Of
about half the military districts of
Russia. While some of the reserve
men called to the cOlors will be used
to complete the strength of the regi-
ments going to the front by far the
greater portion will be formed into re.
serve units to replace troops which
have already gone to the Far East.
This year the conscripts taken number
about 100000 men, being about double
the number usually called to the col
ors. The number of young men an
nually liable to military service is over
100000. The new mobilization will
entail additional relief measures for
the families of reserve men, which will
probably be met by increasing the
credits of the zemstyos.

MAKING IT MANsLAUGHTER.
Proposed Minnesota Law on Killing
Man for a Deer.

st. Paul, Dec. pa state law max
ing it manslaughter in the first degree
for hunter to kill man, mistaking
him for a deer, is recommended, by the
state game and fish commission, which
adopted its annual report to Governor
s. r. Van SAINT. The report calls at
tention to the large number of deaths
each year resulting from the careless
ness of hunters and expresses the
opinion that law of this kind would
reduce the number Of such accidents
to a minimum. IL
"The public is becoming aroused be-
cause of the deaths from accidents by
careless hunters" says the report.
while Minnesota has Jared we'll as
compared with some of her sister
states, still the accidents are alto
gether too numerous and our board is
of the opinion that law ought to be
passed making it a penitentiary Of
tense, manslaughter in the first de-
gree, for one man to kill another in the
woods, installing him for deer, and
that the defense that such killing was
an accident ought not to be considered
in the trial."

admits that Russian advices from Port
Arthur sent by General Stoessel sub
stantially confirmed the Japanese ad-
vices of the partial wrecking of the
Russian ships id the harbor and the
censor has been instructed to permit
the publication of the dispatches. 1t
is claimed that several OF the larger
ships and a respectable number of tor
pedo boat destroyers are still seawor-
thy, but they are not being considered
as factor in the coming fight between
Admiral Togo's ships and the Russian
second Pacific squadron. The whole
series of misfortunes which has at
tended the Port Arthur squadron is a
bitter chapter in Russian naval annals
