ORIGIN OF SPECIAL CARS.
We discover first that these
special cars owed their existence,
| not to the railroads, but to pro-
l gressive and energetic shippers
SWho needed to use them-the
fruit men, the beef men, the coal
men, the oil men. In short, the
railroad shirked its duty as a
eommon carrier and allowed the
ownership of such special vehi-
tes of industry to remain in the
hnds of private individuals.
nd that was the time and the
by of planting the seed which

ALL. FOND OF PEANUTS.
Delicacy Relished by All Animals
Even the Hippopotamus Devours
Them with Pleasure.

"The peanut is a delicacy relished by
all creatures" said a New York animal
lover. 81 have come to this conclusion
after having offered 1t to every animal
In the Central Park zoo, and having 1t
refused by none.
"Oh, know it isn't allowed; but I'm
not one of those individuals who offer
animals indiscriminate numbers of
hard-boiled eggs, frankfurters, cheese
sandwiches and cigar stumps. It's for
that sort OF nuisance the rule about
feeding is made. A single peanut can't
ruin the digestion of camel-or of
any other creature, for that matter,
and l never visit the zoo without a
bag or two of those legumes to dis
tribute.
Eyes, the camel is fond of them
very; and SO are the peacocks. The
hippopotamus obligingly opens his
mouth to let me toss one in, cut the
mouth is SO large and the peanut SO
small that l doubt II he can quite de-
eide whether he likes it or not.
"The kangaroo pokes his funny,
horse-like head out to me. munches the
peanut with relish, and then begs for
more. The elephant, deer. ostrich, and
even the lion. are all lovers of the pea

find.
In the first place. the starchy part
OF the wheat and barley goes through
various processes of cooking, to per-
fectly change the starch into Dextrose
or Post Sugar, in which state it is
ready to be easily absorbed by the

FIGHTING sALToN SEA.
Southern Pacific Making Frantic Ef-
forts to Save Tracks.

Salton, Cal-Confronted with final
washout within the next six weeks by
the rapidly-advancing waters Of the
Salton sea, the Southern Pacific COM
pany is now making every effort pos
sible to turn the Colorado river back
into its old channel, which leads into
the Gulf of California.
Forty miles of the company's trans
continental line is affected.
Large gangs with teams and graders
have been sent to Pilot Knob, a few
miles this side of Yuma. and the con-
struction of a nine-mile spur track
branching from the main line at Pilot
Knob, leading down through Mexico
and ending at the famous intake, has
been commenced This track will be
used for the transportation of material
required to dam the food at the in
take.
: The work of checking the flow at
the intake, where the Colorado river
is rushing from its old channel into the
Salton sink, has been handicapped by
its isolation from the railroad. Ma
chinery and material needed to con-
struct the dam and headgates had to
be hauled nine miles by wagon, or
floated down the Colorado from Yuma.
1t is proposed to run trainlOads of
rock from the quarries near Pilot Knob
and dump them into the intake, thus
constructing the dam which is in
tended to check the flow of the river
into the Salton sea and turn it back
into the gulf. The opening to be
closed is over 400 feet wide and dam
OF mile in length will be necessary.
With these transportation facilities,
those in charge of the work feel con-
fident that they will be able to avoid
another move of the Southern Pacific's
tracks The time. however, is short
to accomplish this feat.
