like a canon, a frozen pumpkin in the

scraps of iron and pumpkin seed.
Mrs. Gallemore had been making
pumpkin pies, and nowhere on earth
are better pumpkin pies produced than
in Missouri, and especially in the town
where Bishop Ethelbert Talbot, for,

unusual size into the stove, kindled a
fire, and stepped into an adjoining

There was an explosion that was

kitchen they found the windows blown
out, the kitchen furniture upset, and
the stove a heap Of scrap iron.

ELECTRIC LIGHTING ON
THE ST. PAUL ROAD.

One of the many practical subjects
in the realm Of railroad operation,
which has attracted the attention of
our technical schools, is the lighting
Of trains. The Chicago, Milwaukee
and St. Paul railway, which is the
pioneer in the lighting of trains by
electricity, recently received an in.
quiry upon this subject from the Mas
sachusetts Institute of Technology,
which upon being referred to the prop
er authorities has brought out some
interesting information.
The lighting of trains by electricity
on this road was begun over sixteen
managers have experimental with
many different systems. They have
found, however, that the most success
full, and without doubt. tn. most re
liable and efficient system for solid
trains, is that in which the dynamo is
operated by a small engine located in
the baggage a and taking steam
from the locomotive. Each car of the
train is equipped with an auxiliary
storage battery. BY this leans it is
made possible for the lighting to con
tinue uninterrupted when locomotives
are changed at terminals.
The St. Paul has nine such trains
in service every night, each train con.
sisting of an average of ten cars of all
kinds. Chief Electrician, c. R. Gil
man, states that the failures from all
causes have averaged about five per
cent of the hours of lighting, and that
four per CEN of this is due to the fail
ure of locomotives in severe winter
weather.
Altogether the st. Paul road his two
hundred and eighty-three cars equip

are one hundred and forty-six coaches,
sixty sleepers, twenty-three mail cars,
twelve dining, nineteen baggage,
eighteen parlor and five buffet cars.
In addition to this number the COM
pany has eight coaches and nine
sleepers, which are lighted entirely
by storage batteries. The electrical
department is now experimenting with
axle lighting devices, with which it has
equipped three cars with as many sys-

Wonderful Advance of Science.

Wonderful as were the scientific
achievements of the nineteenth cen
fury, it seems certain, that in the do
main of applied science and invention,
the twentieth century will far surpass
it. We doubt very much, however, that
anyone. will be able to produce a safer
or moro reliable remedy for stomach,
liver or kidney ills than Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters. 1t was a nineteenth
century production, being first intro
duced so years ago, and to this day
represents the limit Of science in pro-
ducing a remedy that will positively
cure loss of appetite, sour stomach,

liver and kidney troubles and malaria.
