THE REAR END COLLISION

The accident which the arrangements
of railroads are especially anxious
over is the rear end collision. Several
railroads recently have adopted a new
device which is intended to protect
passengers against the chances of in
jury in the event of such an accident.
The device consists of a steel frame
some four feet in length and the height
of an ordinary car. The frame, which
is nothing more than an exceedingly
powerful spring, is fastened on to the
buffers of the rear end car, projecting
about three feet beyond it. 1t is es-
timated that if an engine running
fifty miles an hour came against this
frame the force of the impact would
be sufficiently broken to protect the
rear end of the car from being tele-
scoped, and the passengers would
suffer no greater inconvenience than a
severe shaking.
Los Angeles herald., 1905-02-19
RECENT RAILWAY INVENTION

N INGENIOUS device has been
n adopted on English railways by
means of which engines can be
run on a trial trip without leaving the
scene of their construction, and their
entire construction as thoroughly
tested as If on an actual railway. The
testing plant is fitted with revolving
tires, into which the wheels of the To-
comotive fit, and by this means a
clever representation OF the tread. of
the permanent way is produced. The
tires of the testing plant involve with
the wheels of the engine when steam
is turned on, so that an engine can be
made a run at full speed as If it
were on the metal rail- without moving
an inch in forward direction. 1t often
has happened that an engine on its
trial trip breaks down and will block
traffic for some hours. But this device
obviates the trouble.

ANIMALS THAT WEEP

There are many scientists and men
who are accustomed to deal with ami
mails who give authentic instances of
having seen animals shed tears as a
result of some strong emotion. Hum
boldt tells us that he had monkey
who wept when he was seized with
fear. Rengger says that he has often
seen the eyes of small South Ameri-
can monkey fill with tears when he
was deprived of some coveted object
or made very much afraid of some
thing. Darwin cites the case of a
monkey from Borneo, in the geological
garden, which was frequently moved
to tears when grieved or pitied.
Elephants have also been known to
show their grief in this way. During
an elephant hunt in Ceylon one of the
spectators relates that many of the
elephants when bound showed no feel
ing except grief. and remained per-
fectly motionless while the tears
streamed from their eyes. Female ele-
plants are often affected in the same
way when their young are taken from
them.

ORIGIN oE COCKTAIL

- HERE has been much curiosity as
to the origin Of the name "cock-
tail" At last some one has come
forward with an answer to this ques-
ton which may be pure invention or
truth, but at any rate sounds plausi-
hle. In the early days when doctors
used strenuous methods and medicines
in the cure Of disease there was a habit
among them Of treating certain dis
eases of the throat with a pleasant IL
quid, which was applied by the tip
Of long feather plueked from a
cocks tail. In course Of time this REM
edy came to be used as a gargle, still
retaining its old name. During the
course of its evolution the gargle
gained most of the present ingredients
spirits. sugar, btters, and so on
till'it became the highly esteemed bev-
erage of today.

ELEPHANT TRANSPORTATION

A N elephant, as has been told. can
n be trained into an excellent
work beast and may load and
unload great burdens and take them
from place to place. But the elephant
has one conspicuous rawback-though
he may be an expert at loading, he
cannot load himself.
The loading of an elephant for trans
portation is quite a job. The same
method is not always applied, for some
times the huge beast walks. instead of
being carried. In the present instance,

-HBRE is a pretty story of the rea-
son why the white cross on a
\ blue field is the Russian naval
standard. When Peter the Great was
at ship yard near Amsterdam, where
he spent some months gaining a prac-
tical knowledge of shipbuilding, he be-
came very intimate with a clever
workman named Cruys Before leav-
ing he revealed his name and station
to his comrade and prevailed upon
him to return with him to Russia. The
plans for the first ships for the Rus
sian navy were drawn by Cruys, and
Peter, to show his appreciation of this
act, made him an admiral and ordered
that the navy should thenceforth carry
special flag with white cross upon
1t to perpetuate the memory of his
humble friend. Cruys is the old
Dutch word for cross.

FIRST ARTIFICIAL FLOWERS

Fashion is responsible for many in
ventions. This is the case with the
manufacture of artificial flowers, for
their demand was due to a caprice of
fashion. In Italy during festival time
1t was decreed that flowers should be
worn in and out of their season and
that their color should be retained.
Many plans for solving this problem
were brought forward, and at last
some one hit upon the idea of MAX
ing them of various materials which
would resemble the real flowers. Later,
in the middle ages, the artificial so
far superseded the natural that both
men and women decked their heads
with imitation flowers of cambric,
glass, paper, wax and metal. The
most beautiful artificial blossoms are
made in Paris, and their making is
one of the chief industries of that city.

HISTORIC RELIC

The Chesapeake. famous for her en-
counter with the British ship Shannon
in the war of 1912, is still in existence,
When she was captured by the British
she was taken to England by her cap
tor Sir Philip Broke, and some years
later her timbers were sold. The pur-
chaser was a miller in Wickham, and
when he pulled down his old mill he
built new one from the timbers of the
Chesapeake. Many Of these timbers
still have the marks of the Shannons
grape shot, and in some places the
shots are still to be seen deeply inn
bedded in the pitch pine If the builder
who made this ship knew that it's tim
bers were being used in mill which is
making money for subject of Great
Britain there Is no doubt that he would
at least try to rise from his grave to
right the wrong.

UTILIZING THE WASTE PRODUCT

In all kinds of manufacturing we
hear much of the great gain from
utilizing the waste products. Even
the farmers and fruit growers have
this question: TO solve, and many of
them have done it most satisfactorily.
The practice of feeding sheep vine
leaves has been carried on III France
for many years, though on a small
scale. 1t has been the practice TO turn
the 1ocks into the vineyards after the
grapes have been gathered, so that
they might browse on the leaves. The
yield of r''tritious vine leaves, which
may be either green or faded, varies
from 1900 to 5000 pounds per acre. 1t
has been estimated that the vineyards

NEEN WHO delve deep into the
wv bowels of the earth and those
who rear buildings to great
heights in the skies represent the ex-
treme in perilous endeavor The men
who work downward, according to sta
tlstics, face far greater danger than
those who toll slowly skyward. Yet
here is an altitudinous calling fraught
with peril every minute. 1t is the
ship rigger's job, and compared will
steeple climbing, it is much the more
onerous.
The men engaged in it are as well
trained as circus athletes, though in
the rigging of ship the performers
are carefully safeguarded. The ship
rigger, however, does not know at
what minute rotten bit of timber or
worn rope may give way and pre-
cipitate him to death. With a wider
use of steam vessels the decline of
sailing ships is a natural result, so
that now the rigger does not find as
much work to do as in the palmy days
of the fast clipper ship when Ameri-
can commerce whltened every sea.

This Indian might be on the war
path, stealthily creeping up within ar
row range of his foe, but his pursuit is
much more picturesque, even if it be
less deadly. No man goes on murder
bent before the camera, even if he be
a red man, and the brave who thus
posed did so to furnish a type for an
anthropological exhibit, He is an
Apache, one of the former terrors Of
the southwest, abhorred by other In
dians and the white men alike. 1t
has been said of their lighting that it
has more of the character of assassin
alton and murder than warfare. How
ever, their fighting days are over.
What bullets have failed to do the evils
of civilization are accomplishing, so
that In time soon to come a faithful
picture OF the type will have high val
ue for the scientists who make a study
of man. 1t was for that reason that
this picture was taken.

Every Russian minister receives u
salary of about $4,000 year and the
ministers of the interior and finance re-
ceive large additional sums. The sal
airy is for life, even If the minister
is only in office few months,
The French army appears to be ON
the eve of an important advance in
field gunnery. The new powder ef-
fectually does away with the smoke
which formerly betrayed the presence
Of battery, but there still remains
the flash, which rises to a height of
thirteen feet from the mouth Of the
gun

The ink plant of New Granada is a
curiosity. The juice of it can be used
as ink without any preparation. At
first the writing is red but after few
hours it changes to black.
Since the beginning of last century
no fewer than fifty-two volcanic ISL

inhabited.
The best paid clergy in Siberia get
about 5000 year, while the poorer ones
have often to beg for their bread. All
priests must fast 226 days in the year,
and monastic priests are enjoined never
to eat meat.

BY DONKEY POWER

PATIENT little donkey has for
II many years been plodding around
4 the great treadmill or treadwheel
of castle in the Isle of Wight. The
power developed in this way has been
used for upward of a generation to
seas, swimming slowly about near the
raise all the water needed for the
acstle. The treadmill is of a curious
antique design, the wheel being so ar
ranged that it completely incloses the
little animal. The donkey is a great
favofite with tourists, one of whom
