AUTOMOBILES ON RAILWAYS.
This Use of Them Becoming Extern
siue Both Here ard Abroad

Automobiles are now being used on
railroad tracks to an extent that is
not only unknown to but not dreamed
of by most persons. Ordinarily it is
considered that the noise and smell
of a gasolene motor car are sufficient
to keep persons informed of its
whereabouts and progress, but the gas
olene automobile has been steadily ex-
tending its sphere from the highway
to the steel track with subtlety that
mas almost completely concealed the
fact.
When, last September, Charles J..
Glidden. of Boston, with his 24-horse
power touring car, completed his run
of 1900 miles on steel rails from Min
neapolis to Vancouver, B. c., in sixty
hours, at an average rate of thirty
miles an hour through the mountains,
it was heralded as a feat revealing
the revolutionary possibilities of au-
tomobiles for railroads. 1t was in
one case predicted that the twenty
hour trip from New York to Chicago
was thereby shown to be near at hand.
1t was known, too, at that time that
President Underwood, of the Erie
Railroad, was experimenting on the
tracks rails with an automobile fitted
with fanged steel wheels, and few
persons realized that possibly some
thing might come of these doings in
the future Yet all the while and be-
fore these feats various automobile
manufacturers were busy supplying
specially constructed cars to rail
roads.
One American manufacturer alone
has built and delivered more than
100 cars that are now in use on rail-
roads for various purposes. The pio-
neer rails automcbils of this maker
was a IL horse power affair of the
Michigan Central read. Now his spec
ial rail automobiles are in use for
inspection cars for division officials,
for switching purposes and even for
passenger service on a spur line out
in Utah.
II England steam motor coaches
have been in actual passenger service
on the unit basis since 1893. In
france, Austria and Italy there are
gasolene automobiles in regular rail-
way service, and some interesting
statistics concerning them are to be
reported to the French government
next leonth.
For supplemental, passenger SER
vice there would seem to be a big
field for individual automobile rail
coaches on trolley lines. In some #
the smaller cities where night traffic
is not large the trolley companies
complain that it costs them a dollar
head to carry passengers after
o'clock in the morning, as they have
to keep their enormous power plants
running in order to keep the few cars
in commission. This expense would
be saved by the use of cars that fur
nished their own power from gaso-
lene engfne.-New York Sun.

"iNH AriD young man when in
the war of 1912 he directed at Queens
town, on the Niagara River. series
OF engagements in which were blend
ed, according to one historian. the most
perfect plan of arrangements, the most
undaunted courage, the most disas-
trous defeat and the most triumphant
success.
The battle of Lundy's Lane brought
Scott into action again. Although he
was wounded early in the engagement,
he fought on, CALAMITY charging the
enemy as they advanced.
War after war followed in the ca
reer of the soldier until finally the
Mexican war brought to him his great
est glory. 1t was one of the most pic
turesque campaigns Of history, daring
in conception and execution.
Despite his years, Gen. Scott served
in tie Civil War until he was no long
er able to bear the hardships Of the
camp and the field. Few men can
show such long record of service tor
their country as can he. He served
from 1912 until November, 1861.
his entire life was devoted to tho
cause and the welfare Of the United
States. In defense against foreign In
vaders, in advances into the eneny's
country, in protection Of the frontiers,
in the struggle to preserve the Union,
Winfield Scott was ever ready TO do
all In his power for the sake Of the
country he Ioved.-Chicago Journal.

JUST A MINUTE.

"A boy once faced task, and knew
He should begin it;
He could not start to put it through
For lust a minute"
And though the case demanded speed,
lie could not move just then; but he'd
BE ready for it-yes, indeed.
In lust minute"
His purposes were out of rhyme
By Just a minute"
The whole world seemed ahead of time
BY 'just a minute"
He could not learn to overhaul
His many duties, large ana small,
But made them wait, both one and all,
For 'just minute"
In manhood he was still delayed
By "jGst a minute
He might nave won, had fortune stayed
For Just a minute"
But at the end of life he rallied
At cruel fate, and wept and walled,
Because he knew that he had failed
BY '.just minute"

Delivery Chute.

Many of the numerous inventions
patented contain novelties more theo.
retical than practical, and for this rea-
sen never get on the market. The
IDEAS are generally good, but when it
comes to putting them in use it is
often impossible to do SO. A delivery
chute, which is exceedingly novel in
Its features, is shown in the illustra-
ton, ard it is device that could read
lily be used for great many purposes.
1t is a common sight to see several
men delivering barrels and storing
them in the cellar of building, the
usual method being to allow the barrel

A match is inserted in a slot designed

On one side the extension is divided
into suitable sections. each section
controlled by a brake operated by
means of lever placed opposite the
entrance Of the chute. BY operating
the lever the lower end of the exten-
sion is pulled across the surface Of the
chute toward the opposite SIDE When
the barrel has been starte~l on its Jour-
ney down the chute it naturally gains
momentum, but by application of the
brake of the first section its speed is
diminished, or it can be stopped en-
tirely. AS it passes through each sec
ton the necessary brake is applied, so
that it can be brought gradually TO
standstill at the bottom.
