to use the third rail system. it has
been making lot OF experiments on
short section of track in the vicini-
ty Of Schenectady to discover how
best to overcome certain difficulties
that are to be anticipated in winter.
the third rail there is arranged in
several different ways. In one place
it is bare, in another it is party COW
cred by a shield, fastened three or
four inches above it, and in third
place it is turned upside down, so that
the shoe presses upward against the
inverted rail instead of sliding along
the top.
Early in the current month there
was fall of several inches of snow
in the neignborhood of Schenectady,
and the big electric locomotive that
was built nearly two years ago for
test purposes was trotted out. 'The
Railroad Gazette" says that on the
first trip of the engine little trouble
was experienced on the unprotected
rail which was right side up; but sub
sequently the snow was packed
down by the shoe so that a
coating of hard ice remained. This
was enough to interfere greatly with
the passage of the current from the
rail to the shoe. The protected rail
did little better because the snow
plough would throw snow out side
ways, and it would lodge under the
cover. Except at one point the invert-
ed rail behaved admirably. The excep-
tional trouble resulted from an accum-
ulation of snow on the upper surface
of the shoe; but contact tended to
clean it off, whereas no such effect FOL
lowed when the shoe was applied
from above to rail that was right
side up.
After al inspection lasting all the
afternoon, it was agreed that the con-
ditions under which the locomotive
was operating were more severe than
in regular service, because no fang
ers were being run over the line; also.
that the snowplough at present used
on the locomotive can be improved;
that the operation of the shoe on the
under contact rail is much more salts
factory than on the other types. and
that the rail is much easier to keep
clean. The undermining rail- to
which reference is made, was designed
and patented by Mr.. Wilgus, one OF
the vice-presidents of the Central, and
Mr.. Frank J. Sprague, prominent
electrical engineer.

MOTHER ANTELoPE's INSTINCT.
Her Provision for Her Young Won
derfuI Instance of Providence.

Her Provision for Her Young Won
derful Instance of Providence.
The manner in which the mother
antelope protects her young until they
are old and strong enough to join
the full-grown bands in their wander
ings is an interesting and wonderful
instance - of Natures providence.
These beautiful creatures live In an
open country infested by all kinds OF
enemies, and especially prowled over
by the coyote, the gray wolf and the
timber wolf, which subsist upon the
young of all kinds of animals; yet the
mother can easily protect her babies
from the fiercest of these marauders.
The enemy most dreaded is the soar
ing eagle.
There is a variety of cactus, a
prickly plant which grows in great
abundance all over the Western
plains, which furnishes her the means
for this protection. Horses, cattle,
buffalo, and in fact, all animals know
the danger of treading on this plant.
1T grows in large patches some four
or six inches in height above the
ground. and forms a thick mat vary
ing in breadth from the size of the
top of mans hat to many feet. 1t
is in the center of one of these
patches that the female antelope pre-
pares a place of safety for her young.
The thorns of this cactus, while very
poisonous and terribly painful to
every other animal, for some reason
are almost harmless to the antelope.
The cactus may, lacerate ner legs,
making them bleed freely, but neither
the stickers nor their poison remain;
while other animals seldom bleed,
but retain the poisonous stickers in
their wounds until they become malig-
nant sores, causing excessive swell
ing of the limbs and very great and
long-continued suffering.
7 When the antelope has selected her
patch of cactus, backing away few
feet. she will make running jump,
bounding high in the air and alighting
in the middle of the patch, with all
four feet close together, the hoofs
pointing downward. Then, springi1g
out again and repeating this operation
until she has chopped the roots of the
cactus plant to pieces. she loosens
and clears space large enough fer
standing room. She then will enlarge
it by paving and digging with ner
sharp hoofs. Here she gives birth
to her young in undisturbed security.
knowing that she can leave them in
comparative safety during the day
and return to them at night to give
suck Should it be in locality where
eagles abound however, the mother
does not venture far away, as the
soaring eagle often swoops down on
the young, taking them away if she
is not there to do battle for their
lives.-From H. H. Crosss How the
Antelope Protects Its Young in the
Century.
