Vesffbufed Cattle Cars.

Vestibuled trains for cattle are being
built now. This is not the result of
recent packing house exposures, nor is
1t due to consideration for the comfort
of the cattle. but solely because such
train equipment facilitates loading Of
the animals for shipment.
Heretofore it has been a slow and
tedious process to get herd of cattle
embarked for transportation. It was
necessary for the train to be moved
back and forth many times. SO that
each car in turn took it's place abreast
Of the incline up which the animals
were driven. One car being filled, the
train was moved along a little farther
and another car filled.
With the use of the vestibule train
this work is made easier and shorter.
It requires simply that an opening be
made at each end of the car, with a
suitable door. When it is desired to
load the train these doors are opened
all the way through the train, forming
continuous passageway. The ami
mails are driven in from either end of
the train and meet in the center. Then
as each car is loaded, from the middle
Of the train toward the ends, it is
closed. The cattle may be unloaded in
the same manner or from the side
doors.

GOLD IN SOLUTION.
There Arc Billions of Tons In TIC
Waters of the Oceans.

Waters of the Oceans.
Do you know that the waters of our
globe hold thousands of millions of tons
of gold in solution, and that if it Were
possible to extract the precious metal
from the aqueous constituent of om
planet gold would be the commonest
of the metals? More than 100 years
ago the salt boilers on the coast of
Maine found slight traces of the
precious metal on the sides of their
evaporators, and later on Scottish
tradesmen in the same article reported
gold settings in the water taken from
the mouth of the Dundee. In 1853 the
chemists Malaguti and Durocher ana
lyZed waters from several different To-
calities in the several oceans and seas,
the result being that they found a
slight trace Of gold and silver in every
specimen tested. Finally, in 1865, they
made grand summary of all their
findings, the figures presented with
that report being without doubt the
most wonderful exhibit that has ever
been given to the scientific world.
1t was there shown that the average
depth of all oceans is $500 fathoms,
and that the surface area is sufficient
to make a grand total of 400 1000, 900
cubic miles of water or not less than
I, S37, O3O, 272 000, oOO, 900 tons Each ton
of that vast amount of surging liquid
holds, at a very low estimate, one
thirteenth Of a grain of gold, or total
of not less than 10,250O00,OO0 tons of
the precious metal. If this vast amount
of gold could be extracted and thrown
upon the market the best financier in
the world cannot imagine what the re-
suit would be.

Spider Colonies.

Spiders are not always solitary crea
lures A scientist has lately found in
southern India a species of spider that
builds spongy nests with outlying webs,
each nest being occupied by from 40
to 100. spiders. with large excess
of females. Sometimes five or six
nests are clustered together. The spi-
ders not only live and work together,
but they share with one another any
prey that may be captured, and some
even show maternal affection approach

By E. r. Bushnell.

The opponents Of the new kind of foot
ball have won great victory for their
cause by the unanimity with which their
suggestions have been received. The latest
expression Of this is seen in the almost
universal acceptance of the officials Sc
lected by the subcommittee which had this
in charge. When it was first proposed
that the foot ball rules committee should
endeavor to reform the game by providing
a set of competent officials the prediction
was made that this would be a failure be-
cause many colleges would not agree to

QUITE As ROUGH
ASHERETOFORE
What Has Been Shown by the
Foot Bali Seas0n-W0rk
of the Big Five.

The foot ball season is now far
enough advanced to prove conclu-
sively that the game this fall will be
quite as rough as heretofore. In the
brief preliminary season one player
has been killed and several others
have been quite seriously hurt. AL
though the game has been opened
up the element Of danger has not
been eliminated. On the contrary,
there are many experts who insist
that the more open play has added
to the dangers. By making the
open. running game compulsory the
rules committee has mercy increased
the dangers from collisions and open
field taclzling. which have. caused
more injuries than the mass plays
against which such an outcry was
raised.
