How the Lapland Babies Are Kept
Warm In the Snow.

warm ~ huG OnoWs
If you get out your Biographies
you will see that Lapland is a coun-
try way up north, where the snow
lasts the greater part of the year.
The women of Lapland are very re-
ligious. AS they have no one to
leave their babies with, the tiny tots
are taken to church with the rest Of
the family. Wrapped up warmly,
the family ride off in their sleighs,
drawn by reindeers, sometimes ten
or fifteen miles, to the little church.
When the family arrives the fa-
ther ties up the reindeer, shovels a
snug little bed in the snow, and
Mother Lapp wraps baby snugly in
skins and lays it down there in the
snow. Then the father piles snow
all around the child. The snow
does not make the infant cold OF
wet, for when snow covers a persoI
all over, if he has enough clothes or,
1T only keeps him warm. The ba-
bies are not strong enough to knock
the snow aside, so they Just lie there
snug and warm. When church is
over the father goes out, picks the
baby out of the snow, shakes off the
clinging flakes, and away speed the
family home il. the reindeer sled.

Renrn rhnt Fish For snImon.

Alaska's brown bears near the Bering
sea live largely on salmon and are eX-
traordinary fishers. Before beginning
TO fish they always place themselves
on the downward side Of the river.
"They seem to smell the salmon by
some extraordinary MEANS" says a
hunter, "and then begin dashing in and
out Of the river at some shallow place,
rarely failing to catch a fish. They
bring it out on the bank and devour 1t,
il possible selecting some thick patches
Of bushes and grass in which to make
their meal, which does not take them
long"

A TEST OF THE BLOCK SYSTEM

People who are disparaging the eff
~iciency of block signal systems to
prevent accidents and to facilitate the
movement of trains should read care.
fully the address recently given by
John l.. Davis before the st. Louis
Railway club. Mr.. Davis is the chief
train dispatcher of the Vandalia, and
he states that about two years ago
that road became thoroughly de-
moralized in its operation. For
twelve consecutive months We made
an average OF one collision in about
every twenty days. declares Mr.. Da'
Wis. Our engine men seemed to be
afraid to run our passenger trains
lost time and our engine failures yer
numerous as a result of the long hours
trains were spending upon sidings."
The management Of the road natur-
ally decided that this sort of thing
could not be permitted to continue and
delegated Mr.. Davis to see what was
needed to restore efficiency to the
Vandalia. which is the funnel for the
Immense traffic the Pennsylvania
pours into st. Louis. Mr.. Davis gives
the result of his Investigations in the
following language: After | had Civ
en- the matter what / regarded as due
time and consideration. ! was of the
opinion that We needed automatic sem
aphore signals to protect trains against
following and opposing movements on
the Vandalia line, but an estimate Of
the o killed it. My second choice
was a manual block SYSTEM"
The latter was finally installed and
concerning it Mr.. Davis says: Be
fore the work of installation was en-
tirely completed there was noticeable
a great difference in the movement of
our trains. It seemed that the men
realized all at once that they were
protected. and faster time resulted.
Our overtime for work. began to de-
crease to the extent Of 81, 500 a month
as compared with the previous year"
During the half year previous the road
had handled 2,637 passenger trains at
an average speed of less than thirty
six miles ar hour, incluulng stops and
delays. During the same period the
year following there were handled
1850 passenger trains at an average
speed Of 1913 miles, and in June, 1904.
500 passenger trains at an average
speed of All miles. Furthermore, the
collisions had almost entirely disap-
peared and the efficiency of the motive
power increased rapidly.
In view of such positive testimony
it is difficult to see how any manage
