MUGS, FRIEND OF ENGINEER
Depot Kitten Takes to the Cab and
Invites Itself to an Occa-
sional Ride.

Mugs. a little black and white kit
ten. returned to the Union depot the
other night from Moberly, Mo, Mugs
is traveller and is recognized as the
depot mascot, says the Kansas City
Journal.
No one about the depot seems to
know when Mugs appeared or how she
got her name. To say that Mugs is
pretty would be stretching a point to
the limit but the depot guides and en-
ginemen don't care much for beauty
They like Mugs because Mugs likes
them. The cat scampers about through
the crowds and under the engines. but
seems to know when it is safe so to and
whsn not.
A few weeks ago when Engineer
Stout, who holds the throttle on the
Wabash flier out of here, climbed into
his cab he found the kitten sitting on
the seat. Mugs jumped down, and he
thought the cat was gone until the train
had gained full speed. All his attention
was on the track in front of him. when
with a start he found the kitten sitting
in his lap. swaying with the engine and
playing with the loose sleeve of his
jumper. The cat had no permit to ride
on the engine. and yet Stout didn't see
how he could stop the train to put 1t
Off, and it was out of the question to
drop it out of the window. So Mugs
rode to Moberly. and when Stout came
back to Kansas City he brought the
kitten with him. It boarded the Katy
fest mail in much the same manner and
took trip to Parsons. One night lately
it boarded the Wabash engine like an
old trainman end took little run down
to MOberly again.

It will be seen that the track laying(of
the second half Of the year proceeds us Su-
ally at about twice as rapid pace as
during the first six months. which usual-
ly are given largely 20 preparatory Woltk
If the same ratio is maintained this year.
the Railway Age points out, the cQl-
struction of new lines this year will
reach total of $500 miles, The indica-
tions, however, are that this total will
be much exceeded. There are now under
actual construction over 5000 miles OF
road. and on some portions of this the
point has been reached at which track
laying will be begun almost Immediate
ly. Thus the total of track laid may be
rapidly Increased from this date on.
The detailed statement of the new
track put down up to June 80 last shows
that the only state in which the new
trackage amounted to 100 miles was
Texas. in which total of 1913 miles was
laid. Construction work is actively pro-
crossing on a number of lines in that
state. and Texas full quota by the end
OF the year is likely to be large one.
No new track was laid in the New Eng
land states during the first half of the
year. and only one road of any length is
under construction in those states. The
new track laid in New York state
amounted to 2339 miles.

Steel Rails on Curves

On the sharpest curve of the Bos-
ton elevated the wear of the rails is
so great that they have to be renewed
every III days, wearing down in this
short period from 060 to or inch.
The inconvenience caused by such
frequent renewals led to experiments
with nickel steel. These rails only wore
Q.53 of an inch in 204 days. A man.
ganese steel rail now being tested is
giving even better results, and will
probably eventually replace the nickel
steel rail. The rapid wear on sharp
curves is apparently due to slipping OF
the wheels. The rigid axle prevents any
differential action, such as is allowed for
by the equalizing gear in automobiles,
so that on curves either the inner wheel
must slip backward or the outer one
forward. Judging from the appearance
of the rails, it is the outer wheel which
does the more slipping.-N. Y. Globe.

RAILROAD DANGER SIGNALS
Distant Sign For Every Facing Point
H Advisable on High-speed
w., III Tracks,. ~

The existence on high-speed track
of facing point without distant sig
nal protection stands out as a great
element of danger in an otherwise ex-
cellent roadway. The thought of it,
says the Railroad Gazette, must be a
horrid nightmare to any officer who
is responsible for it, and who reads
intelligently the records of the past.
A lunatic may easily derail train by
other means; but from any reason
able public standpoint it is intoler-
able that any railroad company run
ming trains at high speeds should give
the lunatic such an easy way of carry
ing out his designs. One can readily
imagine a mind 50 disordered that a
facing point switch would be dis
tinct temptation to work destruction.
But, human trainwreckers aside, the
existence of the dangerous switch is
now made known to all the world, and
the liability of the same innocent en-
ployes to neglect their duty in connec-
tion with such switch is also known
to all the world. How many other
such switches exist on that road? With
men of the best grade, with a country
free from fogs, ana with two-mile
view for the engineman. the liability
TO disaster from negligent misplace
mont of switch is. indeed. remote;
E!:t when one reflects for. moment
ca Tie low cost OF distant signals and
r, ~
rai'ment, occurring perhaps once in
% Or so years, the satisfaction found
in that word remote" turns to ashes
in ones mouth. The fast run Of 1895
was made with all the switches spiked
or attended by special watchmen
What was done to safeguard the spe-
cial trains run this year is not re-
ported. But what ought to be done to
safeguard all trains is so plain as to
scarcely need stating-have a distant
signal for every facing point

small Total of New Lines for First
Half Outlook for Balance
of the Year. II

Laying of new track in the United
States proceeded more slowly during the
first six months of 1905 than during the
corresponding period of any year since
lSeS The figures compiled by The
Railway Age show that the total of new
track laid from January 1 to June 30
this year was 1884 miles. This mileage
was divided among 122 lines, and was
laid in So states or territories, showing
the average length of each new line or
extension to be but trife over ten
miles. These figures, of course. cover
only the road building that has pro-
gressed to the actual laying OF the rails.
Much other construction work has been
done, and during the remainder of the
year the amount of new track will. OF
course, be largely Increased. The fol-
lowing table, made up by the Railway
Age. shows the track laying during the
first six months and during the entire
year for the years since 1892: !
