RAILWAY IN DANGER,
Belief the Japs Wait Only for Signal
to Attack it.

to Attack it.
London, March 81. - The military
expert of the London Times declares:
The most surprising thing about the
events In the far east during the last
few weeks is the apparent immunity
from attack of the Russian railway
lines. 1t had been promised by the jap
anese before the war began, he declares,
that the railways would be impeded,
and even in part would be demolished.
The Japanese had made thorough
study of the country before the opening
OF the war and knew more about the
country outside of the immediate vi
olnityg of the garrisons than even the
Russians themselves.
There has been ample time to dis
patch bold raiding parties, who would
be landed from small warships, or even
merchant ships, at points along the
coasts, and the assumption is that the
Japanese are wanting in resource and
audaclty, or that preparations have
been actually made, and a given sig
nal is awaited before the blow is
struck.
Nothing that has vet occurred justi-
fies the belief that the Japanese are
wanting in intelligence aud resource,
therefore we must fall back oni the as
sumption that the Japanese believe
that the hour to strike has not syet ar
rived.
In what position, therefore, will
the Russians stand if they awake some
fine morning and find the railway sew
cred, not at one place, but along the
entire line, and hostile army threaten
ing Vladivostok? If the Russian army
can exist in the Lao valley, with it;
line OF communication severed, it will
surprise many people. and it is general
~ conceded that if this happens it will
have to retrace it's steps to Hardin.
"The Russian army is in fact as
much tied up to its railway line as was
the British army in the Transvaal, and
it has to depend on a single line ii
track, while the British had three, and
the Japanese are not whit less enter.

interchanged at a cost entirely inconsid- erable compared with that of transport ing merchandise across vast continenI2l spaces on caravans of camels, or more lately in wagons drawn by animals. A single railroad train will transport the loads of a thousand wagons or of ten thousand camels, and instead of consum- ing months in going from one place to another, it is done in few hours.
 In ancient times the great cities were all on the sea coast or upon the banks of navigable rivers, so that by means of boats and ships. the people couid be supplied with food. Now. great cldes only regard rivers as sources of water sup ply. and are content to depend on rail- ways for their commerce, or for the dis tribution of their products.
 Railroads which require a hundred mil lions of dollars to build, and millions to operate. would be impossible without com hinations of capital. Few men have the money individually to build or own a great railway system, and fifty years ago there was not one In the entire world. The economy of transportation goes hand In hand with the economy of production and the most desired results can only be secured by combination.
 | pr. Hogg's book ought not only to be a
 text book in all the high schools and colleges. but it should be in the handa
 of every railroad man who can read.

A MATTER OF VALUES.

 TCopyrght 1904, by Daily Story Pub. Co) A flash across an open space, so quick between cover and cover as to leave only an impression of bushy tail and pointed nose, and then a wild chorus of discov- Ing yelps, accompanied by a dozen forms plunging frantically across the open bpace and into the chincapin bushes be- Fond.
 But 50 yards farther on was an out cropping ledge, broken by crevices and tunnels into & natural and safe hiding place for the hunted. From the time the fox had been started, an hour be- fore, It's winding and doubling course had been gradually tending toward this asy- um, as though with an idea that after playing with the dogs until weary or the sport, or perhaps feeling the need of rest, it could whisk into safety. A few minutes after the fox dropped lightly in- to one of the crevices, two horses with their riders crossed the space and came to a stop among the dogs.
 T am glad he escaped, even if 1t isn't Bportsmanlike, laughed one of them. T. felt sure the dogs would get him at the open back there, they were so close. It was a narraw escape"
 I'm not so sure of that. Miss Bris- tow" the other answered. "Ive an Idea the fox had his plans all laid re- garding this ledge, and was only playing with the dogs. Shall I call them off and start them in search of a new scent Nothing can draw the fox from his stronghold now
 ''No, wait until papa comes. His fall Ing behind meant that his horse went lame. and he has probably gone back to the stable for another. He will join us before long"
 She touched her horse lightly, urging him to the top of the ledge from which they could look down into the valley. Her companion followed her closely.

THE RAILROAD IN EDUCATION

An Interesting Publication by a Former Alabamian.
 The Advertiser has received from Pro- lessor Alexander Hogg, superintendent of public schools at Fort Worth, Texas, a copy of his important book, "The Rail- road in Education" which has reached its fifteenth edition, being brought up to date with large additions of new matter and illustrations.
 Professor Hogg once lived in Alabama. He was at one time connected with the Polytechnic Institute at Auburn and wa9 once superintendent of the Montgomery public schools The New Orleans Plea yune says of his publication:
 For it's size, 1t is the most complete and interesting compendium of informa- ton on the subject of railroads ever written for the unprofesslonal reader, and yet 1t cannot fail to instruct and delight the professional railroad man.
 This wonderful book, for 1t deserves that title. grew out of an address deliv- cred by its author at a meeting of the Worlds Congress of Educators, in 1885, during the Cotton Exposition of 1SS4-S5 It traces the use of steam as a motive power from the contrivance of Hero of Alexandria. who lived more than cen tury before the Christian era, down to the most approved fast passenger loco motive.
 It has an interesting chapter on the de- velopment of railways and a brief dis cussion with mathematical diagrams and equations, of why a train of cars trav- cling to the eastward in the direction of the rotation of the earth upon it's axis. would be aided by the rotatory mo- ton.

Tt is one of the most beautiful spots ever saw" he said, as his eyes swept over the broad, fertile acres of the farm to the lofty ridges that enclosed 1t on every side. "No wonder you and your father are so happy here"
 His eyes left the valley and came back to her with an expression in them that made her turn away with a half smile. Allan Tisdale was a younger son, and had come from England year before, with an income of E1.O0O and an idea of making a living with it in America. : He had been in the valley two months, and in that time had learned things that had not hitherto entered into his plans for a livelihood. His hand trembled slightly as 1t checked the restiveness of his horse.
 ''Yes, it Is beautiful here, and we are very happy" she answered.; but there was trouble in her voice. Then, with sudden raillery, you ought to be happy, too, Mir. Tisdale. We had a letter from | brother Emmet yesterday, and he writes glowingly of your mine, and," looking at him inquiringly, "he writes as though he might purchase an interest in it.. "I hope not" quickly ''I like Emmet too well to wish him such bad luck.

 She had thrown up her hands, as though to stop him.
