October 6, at full dress rehearsal of
the moving pictures of the Cans

the first time in the East. The films
which depict with remarkable clear
ness the entire course of the historic
battle. justified every claim made
for them by the management, which
will present them for public view to-
morrow evening. The PICTURES set
tie once and for all the disputed foul
which Nelson committed upon hig
colored opponent, for the blow for
which the referee, Siler properly
disqualified him is plainly evident in
the forty-second round Among the
prominent persons easily distinguish.

same rule applies-the COO fes the
hen and chicks cannot be too large:
those used are much too small. There
should be plenty of room within the
coop for the hen to move about, stand
erect. flap her wings and exercise.
usually she must stretch her head
through the Stats TO stretch her neck.
the coop being so narrow and con-
fined that she can scarcely TURF abru,
which is cruelty detrimental 10 the
hen and her brood. Provide plenty OF
floor space and space overhead for the
hen. and both she and the chicks will
do better than will either If housed in
confined Coops.
A box two feet square, or larger,
covered with tar paper. with Stats in
front, Is recommended by the Country
Gentleman and will provide n cheap
ami useful board coop. II the box is
double this size. it will be more use-
full. as it will do for a roosting-place

though of plain construction. the
more creditable will they be to the

man, who procured its printing as u
public document. reports the Philadel.
phia Record. 1t is a list Of collisions
and derailmentS where the employees
had been on duty an excessive number
of hours and a list Of personal injuries
work excessively long.
These are railroad reports and not
the results Of Investigations b. the
commission and they DO not include
personal injuries that had no obvious
connection with the condition OF the
employe. The facts disclosed by this
tabulation are startling.
Eight railroad men were killed and
l3 injured as the result OF accidents
caused by overwOrk. In one case a
man who had been on duty 81 hours
was sent out tagging and went to
sleep on the track. In nine other
cases In this list of personal injuries
men had been at work continuously
for 20 hour or more.
In collisions and derailments due to
lack of sleep or exceptional fatigu =.
80 persons were killed and 147 in.
jured. In one case the man mad been
at work As hours. In nine cases men
had been at work 81 hours or more
one was Az hours at work II an.
other was 3S hours-and in several
other instances men had been at work
more than 90 hours.

COOP FOR HEN AND CHICKENS.
heat about the eggs. A box of good
size, well filed with hay or straw, is
proper; a small box, with little nest
ing material, highly improper.
The barrel nest, so often spoken of
as the most satisfactory, gains its rep
utation largely from its size. When
laid on its side and leveled up with
stone, brick or earth. and filled up
about one-third full of straw, a barrel
provides a g~enerous-sized nesting
place for turkeys or hens. II planted
one-third underground on end, a hoe
cut in one side, and the bottom for a
roof. this provides an ideal nesting
place for either. and being partly I'M
insures a certain protection from
changeable influences. Have the nest
OF straw above the ground level, and
the nest will be dry during the very
wet period.
A barrel cut In two MAKES splendid
nest boxes for inside use during the
most severe weather. Large, commodi-
Gus nests of straw can be built In
these, so that the hen ear nestle down
to the top level of the barrel. yet have
plenty OF nest material under and
about her to help her keep tho eggs
warm by holding the heat about them
and warding off outside influences.
The same nest is splendid for all
kinds of weather; being warm, roomy,
comfortable and airy, it is the ideal
nest for success. We have seen the
nest, hen and - eggs all forced into
a box scarcely large enough for the
men without the other necessary ac-
commandments.

Spiral" Railroad in Africa.

In the construction of the Amabele.
Butterworth railway, in Cape Colony.
unusual difficulties had to be sur.
mounted, and the result is, from an
engineering point of view, one of the
most remarkable railways In exist.
After passing through the Kei hills
the line winds round another hill, and
then, at a lower level. goes under its
own track. This portion OF the rail
way is known as the spiral" At an.
other point the line travels along the
bank of the MangulJ river for two
miles and then doubles back for a
mile and a half, so hat after cover
ing three and a half miles the train
is really only half a mile to the good.
This section 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 entertainments. Some idea of its
extraordinary character may be
formed from the statement that in 10
miles the line falls, or rises, to the ex-
tsat OF 1850 feet. .
