FoREsTRy ANn.THE RAILRoADs
Wooden re.Platss are Now Success.
fully Being Used..,is..I. :. -.

Upon the advice Uf the bureau OF forestry
the Gulf, Colorado. and Santa Fe railroad
eight months ago begangto experiment with
wooden tie-piatesa These plates are in.
tended to protect The Tie from wear under
the rail-. They aSe- cut the width Of the
bottom Of the rail- and as long as the tie is
wide-usually six uro seven inches-and are
kept In place by the 'wsfght of the rail. in a
fiat groove in the, tie. The results Of the
experiment are Of much interest both to
the railroads Of the; country and to those
who have at heart the cause Of forest pro-
lection. sss
The Santa Fe placed cypress templates
one-quarter of an inch thick on several
thousand old and much-worn cypress ties
laid In Its track north OF Galveston, Tex.
After eight months of constant use the
plates are perfectly sound and show prac-
tically not trace, of wear. The officials of
the road are greatly pleased with the re-
suit of this trial.
The bureau of forestry will now make
similar experiments with red gum. red oak.
In the tracks of the st. Louis and San
Francisco. the Burlington. and the North
ern Pacific systems These are all harder
woods than cypress. and are therefore less
liable to wear under the rails, but are
much more subject to decay. The tie-plates
made from these woods will therefore all
be heavily creosoted This will make them
about as resistant to decay as the untreated
cypress, while their much greater hardness
will better qualify them to resist the wear
of the rails.

Deadly Pneumonia.

From Pearson's Magazine
In all its varieties, pneumonia is due to in
lection.
Twenty years ago even that much was
unknown. Now 1t is an undisputed fact
that majority OF cases Of this most deadly
OF acute diseases are caused by a germ
known as the pneumococcus-or, as 1t goes
about in pairs, the dipplococcus pneumoniae.
That there are other bacilli which cause
pneumonia Is also admitted. How many
different varieties are In this class is a
question, but several Of them have been
discovered beyond cavil.
Pneumonia" says q distinguished au-
thority. ''is caused by weakening Of the
road OF germs which We're In the body be-
fore"
Investigations have apparently established
the fact that all the micro-organisms which
cause pneumonia enter through the respira-
tory organs. The bacilli are found in large
quantities in the mouths and noses and
breathing passages Of persons in a normal
condition OF health. In fact, according to q
Chicago physician who made many tests,
pneumonia-producing germs exist In the
bodies Of forty-f1ye out Of every one hum
dred persons, under average normal condi-
lions.
When pneumonia develops in one lung or
both, as result of cold or because Of
some other depressing fact. 1t means that
the patient Is in such reduced state that
the micro-organisms can take hold and null
tiply. 1t Is evident, therefore, that main
timing the general health Is the first lesson
of prevention.

A Decision About Dogs,

From the Baltimore Sun.
The appellate term of the supreme court
of New York. in an opinion written by JUS
tice Mclean, has asserted some far-reach-
ing principles in regard to vicious dogs and
the liability Of the owners of such animals
for damages. carpenter in New York
went to a lumber yard to purchase boards
and was bitten by a dog that was chained
in the yard. His injuries were serious and
compelled him to remain at home for sew
eral weeks. He sued the lumber company
and got judgment against the defendant
company. The judgment was reversed by
the higher court. 1t appears from Justice
McLeans opinion that the owner Of dog
which proves to be vicious is only liable If
he knows that the animal is accustomed to
be vicious. If man should be bitten by
dog on premises on which there was
slgnboard labeled Look out for the dog;
he will bite you," or Beware of the dog"
these placards alone would not be suf-
fcient to charge the owner with legal
knowledge of the dogs viciousness In fine,
the ancient Latin exhortation. Cave canem
Beware Of the dog'-doesn't mean neces-
sarily that the owner knows the animal is
with fine CLASSICAL lore. observes: Some
thing to that effect was lettered on the
floor of many Pompeiian vestibulum. It
may be as old as Aesops hapless cry Of the
wolf, for more than two centuries before
the current era Theocritus' fair Praxinoe-
the presumably fair Praxinoe-when fain to
warn her CHILD from the way she would
not have him go. cried: There's horse
that bites"" This is charming blending
of the classics and Of the law, but 1t doesn't
seem to take into consideration the element
of common sense. Why should the owner
of dog warn the public to beware of q
gentle and harmless beast? Why should he
put up sign, "Look out for the dog; he
will bite you." If he were in utter tgno-
rance of the dogs vicious propensities?
Justice Mclean may prove his contention
I,xy 11.e cso5 but ha rNaA
whether there are not better authorities on
bad dogs than "Theocritus fair Praxinoe."

Cotton, Woollen, Silk and Linen Mills

From the Textile World Record
The new mills built in the United States
In 1904 are gratifying reflection of the
prosperity this country Is now enjoying
Although this period of twelve months pre-
coded presidential year, 29O mills were
erected, only IA per cent less than in 1903,
und more than in any year from 1897 to
1902 inclusive, with the exception of 1900.

compared with % mills and 81, 1874 spindIes
In the north. Only two of the northern
mills contained spindles, the other 90 being
weaving mills.
OF the southern spindles nearly so per
cent are credited to the Carolinas, showing
the tendency of the industry to concentrate
within narrow limits.
The wooden industry also shows de-

these new wooden mills %, or more than
half Of the total number are found in Penn

being reported. and that from Virginia. OF
the Ill new knitting mills built in 1904,
nearly two-thirds are found In the middle
states. seven In Maine and the remainder
are divided about equally between the west
and south.

tration in New Jersey and Pennsylvania,

mills projected is very significant feature
of present conditions

What is Expatriationp

John Bassett Moore, in Harper's Magazine.
The word repatriation Is often en-

alization. What is the effect of this proc

new political character without diveSting

new allegiance, but also free him from
the obligations of the old? By the laws of
the United States, the alien was required.
at the time of his admission to citizenship,
to forswear all allegiance to his former
sovereign; and no inquiry was made as to
whether that sovereign had either by gen.

the act. 1t might therefore be inferred that

What improvements In the TslspAsnl

From the Cosmopolital

Two or three recent improvements Of the
telephone show what undeveloped capa-
cities still lie hidden in this wonderful far
talker of modern science. In the first
place, 1t has become possible to eliminate
the telephone girl as a connecting link. or
rather connector Of links, between the

by this new system, you simply look up
his or her number, and then on a dial, or
miniature switchboard. IN your own house
or office you turn an indicator to the diX!ts
representing that number, and Immediately
your friends bell rings, and without any
further prelimnaries you may begin your
conversation. The switching mechanism
at the central exchange has automatically
followed the movements OF your indicator

cation with the desired point Besides, 1t

Rules as to "Tips" in England.

From the Pail Mall Magazine.
1t Is an unSpoken law that you should not
only tip your friends servants, but allow
them to tip yours. The tips given to pri-
vate servants vary in amount, sometimes
according to the number of servants. and
often according to the quality of the guests.
The nouveau richie, for instance. will give
the gamekeeper five pounds. or even ten.
thereby making matters very uncomfortable
for a better sportsman. less endowed, who
follows after him.
Young girls should only tip the house
maid, and the parlor maid IL there be one.
No young girl Is expected to tip the coach
man or the butler. although she would nat
urally give the groom something II she has
done any riding. A bachelor Of my ac-
quaintance explained that his method of
tipping was conducted on the strictest busi-
ness lines.
st always give the same amount" he said,
wherever stay.
when I am away shooting I give the
keeper shillings per day-unless it's covert
shooting and we get over fifty pheasants.
then make 1t 10 shillings. also give 10
shillings to the under keeper. shillings to
the man who carries my gun and shillings

ITO housemaids usually give 1 shilling
per day, but If extra attentive I make 1t

It Is wiser to ring your bell and give the
