Count witte's Opinion of Roosevelt.
 The private opinion formed by one great man concerning another is al- ways interesting, says a London News correspondent. I am able to give an extract from a private letter from Count Witte, the Russian prime min ister, concerning President Roosevelt which. I think, will be read with spe- cial interest From a moral stand point" writes Count Witte to a friend, "the president of the United States is q statesman of large caliber. Born in a time when politicians are more chll- dren of their century than of their his tory. he owes his high position, which he fills more worthlly every day. ex- clusively to his personal qualities as revealed in actions requiring decision, tact and clear vision. The world rec ognizes this. When one speaks with President Roosevelt he charms through the elevation of his thoughts and through that transparent philosophy which permeates his judgment. He has an ideal and strives for higher aims than a commonplace existence presents. Tn the stubborn struggle of the day men like MT. Roosevelt have no leisure. for they are soldiers who cannot he relieved from the danger line"

downtown to She office, My assistants had reported again-they had met with no better success than I. MT. Graham noticed my dejected appearance and spoke word of comfort.
 q think you're on the right track. Lester," he said. "But you can't hope to do much by yourself-it's too big job. Wouldn't 1t be better to employ half dozen private detectives and put them under your supervision? You could save yourself this nerve trying work and at the same time get over the ground much more rapidly. Besides, experienced men may be able to stg- gest something that you've overlaoEed.@ z | had thought of that-1 had won dered if I were making the best pos. sible use of my opportunities-and the suggestion tempted me. But some thing rose within me-pride, ambition, stubbornness, what you willard shook my head, determined to hang on. Besides, had still before me that bat tie of wits with Martigny, and was resolved to make the most of it.
 Let me keep on by myself day or two longer, sir" I said. q believe I'll succeed yet. If don't there will still be time to call in outside help. fancy I've made a beginning. and I want to see what comes of it." '
 He shook me kindly by the hand.
 T like your grit" he said approv- ingly, "and I've every confidence in you. It wasn't lack of confidence that prompted the suggestion. Only don't overdo the thing and break down as Royce has. He's better, by the way, but the doctor says that he must take a long vacation-a thorough rest"
 "I'm glad he's better. I'll be care full" I assented, and left the office.
 While waited for a car I bought copy of the last edition of my paper, from force of habit more than any thing, then, settling myself in seat still, from force of habit-I turned to the financial column and looked it over. There was nothing of special interest there and turned back to the general news, glancing carelessly from item to item. Suddenly one caught my eye which brought me up with shock. The item read:
 Shortly after 10 o'clock this morning man ran up the steps of the Cortlandt street station of the Sixth avenue ele- vated in the effort to catch an uptown train just pulling out and dropped over on the platform with heart disease. An am- bulance was called from the Hudson Street hospital and the man taken there. At noon 1t was said he would recover. He was still too weak to talk. but among other things a card of the Cafe Jourdain, 64 West Houston street, was found in his pocketbook. An inquiry there developed the fact that his name is Pierre Bethune, that he is recently from France and has no relatives in this country.
 In a moment I was out of the car and running westward to the elevated I felt that held in my hand the ad- dress needed.

MARK TWAlN'S AUTO REFORM
Humorist's Suggestion te Detect and
 Punish Overspeeding.

Humortst's Suggestion to Detect and Punish Overspeeding.
 Mark Twain has taken up the cud- gels against overspeeding autoists, and in a characteristic letter in Harpery 5 Weekly he proposes novel means of detecting and punishing them. He says:
 Equal laws for all. It is good in theory, and believe it would prove good in practice if fairly and dispas- sionately qtried. The law dresses q convict in a garb which makes him easily distinguishable from any moving thing in the world at 125 yards except a zebra. If he escapes in those clothes he cannot get far. Could not this prin- ciple be extended to include his broth CT criminal, the oyerspeeder, thus mak- ing the pair fairly and righteously equal before the law? Every day throughout America the overspeeder runs over somebody and escapes" That is the way it reads. At present the mobile numbers are so small that ordinary eyes cannot read them upon a swiftly receding machine at dis tance of hundred feet, a distance which the machine has covered before the spectator can adjust his focus I think would amend the law. I would enlarge the figures and make them readable at hundred yards. For over speeding, first offense, would enlarge the figures again and make them read able at 300 yards, this in place of a
 fine and as warning to pedestrians to climb a tree, this enlargement to continue two months, with privilege of resuming the smaller figures after the first thirty days upon payment of $500. For each subsequent offense re-en- largement for six months, with priv ilege of resuming the smaller figures upon payment of $1,000 at the end of three. With auto numbers readable as far as one could tell convict from barber pole none of these criminals could run over person and escape" iqFwoa aanofths ago a touring mobile came within an indeterminable frac- ton of killing a member of my family, and It's number was out of sight range before the sharpest eyes present could make 1t out, it was so small and the spectators so dazed by momentary fright. I have had two narrow escapes in New York, and so has everybody else. None of us has succeeded in cap turing the auto number. feela sort of personal interest in this suggested reform.

Southern Pacific and the Oregon Short lines. is going to print and publish to the world a map of his big system without the time honored straight lines, which since the first wheel was turned has always repre- scented the routes of roads, says the Cincinnati Enquirer. The folders are always almost absolutely straight lines. Now Mir. Hartman has told his passenger representatives to print a map showing exactly the way the rails of these roads lie. As a result there will soon be issued by the passenger department of the Hartman lines the most unique map ever sent out by q railroad. There will be no straight lines on 1t.

NOTES OF THE RAIL WAYS
Pennsylvania Systems Plan to
 Provide Against Drought.
AUTOMATIC sroKER FOR ENGINES

New York Central Experimenting With a Device Intended to Save Money and Labor - Remarkable Features of n Cape Colony Rail- road-Unique Map of the Hartman Lines-New Style of Sleeping Car.
 The Pennsylvania Railroad company is getting itself in position so that in times of drought it will always have enough water on hand to meet all its wants, says the Philadelphia Press. The dry weather of last year showed that the old system of depending on nearby streams and towns for water for the locomotives will no longer serve At one time nearly one-half of the motive power was laid up on ac- count of the corrosion of the boilers by impure water. This happened at a time when the business was the heavi- est. It means loss of large sums of money and was in measure responsi. ble for the piling up of freight trains which could not be moved on account of there not being enough locomotives in service
 President Cassatt realized that more up to date methods would have to be employed Since then he has, through his officers, secured the water rights to many streams, and the work of con structing a water pipe line sixty miles long has begun. The water pipe line Is to be extended throughout the sec tions where at times the waterways become very low. The outlay for this pipe line will be considerable, but 1t will be of immense advantage to the company when water is scarce, as it will insure the railroad a supply of pure water at all times.

In the construction of the Amabele Butterworth railway in Cape Colony unusual difficulties had to be surmount- ed, according to the Pail Mall Gazette, and the result is, from an engineering point of view, one of the most remark able railways in existence. After pass ing through the Kel hills the line winds around another hill, and then, at low CT level. goes under it's own track. This portion of the railway is known as the spiral"
 At another point the line travels along the banks of the Mangulu river for two miles, and then doubles back for a mile and a half. so that, after covering three and a half miles, the train Is really only half mile to the good. This sec ton is called the "zigzag," and, with the spiral, is unique in South Africa.
 All along the Kei heights the route is through cuttings or on eInbankments. Some idea of it's extraordinary charac- ter may be formed from the statement that in eighteen miles the line falls or rises to the extent of 1,560 feet. .#

An automatic stoker is the latest ex- pertinent by the New York Central peo- pie, says special dispatch from Troy to the New York Evening World. Ex- periments have practically been com pleted at the West Albany roundhouse, and the indication is that the inven- tion will result in the most radical say ing of labor and cost. The experiments have been carried on upon common locomotive of an old type.
 The device is placed just in front of the tender box, with which 1t connects by means of long feed pipe leading to the furnace. The contrivance consists d long corkscrew arrangement which >,rries the pulverized coal from the bin to the feed pipe into which the coal falls and is waited by means of fan through the pipe into the fire. The ma chine takes up comparatively little space and is easy to operate. 1t Is run by small engine at present, but later Bert Seabolt, the inventor, expects to dispense with the engine, procuring his steam from the locomotive itself.
 If the device proves successful in the final tests a saving of 32 per cent in fuel alone will be achieved.
