SPEED NO FACTOR IN
WRECK OF FLYER"
State Investigates Accident at Mentor,
O., and Finds That Switch Was
Intentionally Opened.

Springfield, O., June 24.-W. o. jack
son Of this city, chief inspector Of rail-
roads and telegraphs of Ohio, returned
today from Mentor, where he Investigate
ed the Lake Shore wreck.
''That the switch was opened inten-
tionally we know" he said. whether
or not it was locked open we cannot
tell, for all reports are meager. The
perpetrator may never be known, though
both the company and our department
are working on the case.
II do not think the speed Of the train
had anything to do with the wreck or
the number Of people killed. The num-
Der killed was due to the fact that din
ner was just over and the men had gone
forward to the smoker. Fast trains are
no more liable to accident than others,
for they make fewer stops, and many
accommodation trains run as fast be-
tween stations as the Twentieth Cen
tury"

AN Arrangement to Facilitate ths
Operation of Carving.
Until carving is taught In the public
schools as part Of the general pro-
gram of education, the average man
will never become an artist as a car
yer. There are very few people who
can develop a system without having
foundation plan Of some sort for
guidance, and despite the universally
Of the COOK book in the modern home,
very few men ever reach that per-
lection in their allotted task that they
look for in the housewife in the cul-
mary department. However, the in
structions to cut along the line c. D
to the line A B, ETC., are no longer as
cabalfstic in significance as they once
were. True, the primitive appliances
for carving have for the most part
not improved much, except in the mat
ter Of form or shape; but this Is all
to be changed III the near future as a
Chicago inventor has devised a carving
appliance that should make the task
almost mechanical. This devise is a
meat holder for carving platters, the

Stacking Alfalfa.

Throughout the western half of the
United States alfalfa hay Is commonly
stored in stacks in the field. Alfalfa
stacks will not shed water as readily
as stacks Of grass hay. In the arid
regions there is little danger from
rains during the season Of storage, but
in humid climates 1t Is necessary to
store the hay in barns or else cover
the stacks with large tarpaulins, or
they may be topped with grass. 9th
erwise the percentage of waste is very
large In any case there is likely to
be some waste, for which reason the
stacks are made large, thus reducing
the proportionate amount Of waste. In
the alfalfa regions Of the west the
stacks are as high as the hay can be
handled easily and may be 200 feet or
more In length. The size of the stack
IS then limited chiefly by the conve-
nience in bringing the hay from the
surrounding field.

within our province to show the farm

saved by the use Of an oil stove as
well as how the house may be kept
coal fire is kept. The cost Of running
an Oil stove varies, Of course, accord
ing to the length Of time it is allowed
to burn, but when one is through with
the fame it may be turned off and the
expense for fuel stopped, which is not
the case with the fire in the range
Again, the heat may be had in three
minutes that would require an hour
to obtain with the coal stove. Here
we save time. Oil stoves are no more
dangerous than an oil lamp if they
are cared for as thoroughly as we care
for our lamps. One source Of trouble
IS allowing the contents Of the vessel
to boil over and drop down OIL the
burner which makes it sticky and
likely to spread the flame An excel
lent way to avoid this, when one is
cooking anything likely to boil over,
Is to set a shallow tin pan over the
hole and in this set the article holding

it will last through several summers,
