Don't Forget the Women.

Almost the last Of those who are
accorded honor for their heroism at
San Francisco are the women, and
especially the trained nurses. 1t is
agreed that no others showed such
GOODNESS, such unflinching courage as
they. No call was awaited. but they
sought for the wounded and walked
without faltering amid scenes that
even strong men could not endure
the sight of and from which they
ran away. The good done by that
band of devoted women is not to be
estimated and 1t is only just begin
ming to be appreciated and put on rec
ord. Due praise has been given Funs-
ton and his aids for their work. The
police and fremen have figured large
ly in the dispatches. The doctors
have not been overlooked. but the
nurses are still awaiting their share
Of the common glory Of fearless and

Wartime "Reminiscences Illustrative

relates Youths Companion.
Mr.. Park was then, as now, vege-
tartan. While he could assimilate ev-
erything connected with his answer to
the call of duty from the stand of pa
triotism, he could not assimilate the
army pork. 1t was plain that if the
government wished to do the square
thing by Park it would have to show
observation-disclosures in the matter Of
rations.
So he took his troubles to President
Lincoln, and explained that in some
respects he was like the children of
Israel after they set out from. Egypt.
He could not forget the leeks and
onions with which he was wont to re-
gale himself back in Indiana county.
Lincoln smiled "You want me TO
turn you out to Craze like Nebuchad-
nezzar?" he asked.

Parks reply. Thereupon. Mr. Lincoln
wrote carelessly on an ordinary sheet

TAKE WATER ON THE RUN.
EnEines Are Supplied on Long Trips
Without Losing Moments
Time.

Now that it has become usual for
trains to run very long distances with
out 4 stop it has been found neces-
5ary to provide some means by which
water may be taken on the way, says
the Great Western Railway Magazine.
When it is remembered that fast
train may use from 25 to SO gallons
of water for every mile run, it will
be- understood that the tender re-
quired to carry water for any con-
siderable distance must be very large.
The provision of sufficient coal is,
fortunately, not such a serious matter
as. roughly speaking, about a pound
and a quarter is sufficient to boil a
gallon of water weighing ten pounds
Taking a trip of $50 miles, which is
approximately the distance from Lon
don to Plymouth, now run without in
termediate stop. the coal burned by
the engine would be nearly four tons.
On the other hand, the weight of wa
ter would be about 80 or 40 tons.
Apart from the impossibility of pro-
viding tenders large enough to ae-
commodate this quantity it would, of
course, be far from economical to haul
SO much unnecessary dead weight.
The idea of water troughs was
originally introduced by Mr.. Rams
bottom, of the London & Northwest
ern railway. The principle is doubt
less familiar to all; the water lies at
rest in long trough, and scoop, at
tached to the tender of the engine and
having sharp edge, cuts off, SO to
speak, the top layer of the water,
which is forced up the inclined pipe
and falls into the tank of the tender.
The advantages of the system are,
that the tenders may be Of reason
able size and weight; that there is
no necessity to stop trains specially to
take water; and that the water can
be taken at points where it is icheap
and good instead of taking whatever
can be obtained at stations of suffi-
cient Importance to justify the train
stopping. Thus, supposing there is
an excellent supply at a distance of
ten miles from an important town,
it is now possible to stop at the town
without taking water and to pick up
good water without stopping at the
point of supply.
The troughs are laid level, and the
rails are inclined at each end of the
troughs. This enables the scoop
hinged on the tender to be lowered
some yards before actually commenc-
ing to pick up. The decline in the
rails lowers the scoop into the water
as the tender runs down it. The
length of this decline is about 60
yards and at the far end of the
troughs a corresponding incline lifts
the scoop out of the water before the
end is reached. It is therefore i'm
possible, unless there are distractions
in the troughs or on the sleepers inn
mediately preceding and following
them, for the scoop to hit anything,
provided its height is properly ad-
iusted

Loopholes In the Law.

British statesmen are again striv-
ing to amend the law so as to permit
persons convicted of crime to appeal
change in the law has long been admit
ted, for although a man against whom
verdict Of hundred pounds has
been found in a civil court may ap-
peal, one who has been convicted OF
murder must submit to the sentence
with no effective appeal save to tho
clemency of the home office. The ex-
perience of a perfectly innocent man
who was twice convicted for crimes OF
which he was not guilty, and of which
he might have been proved to be inno-

has reused the British sense Of Justice
till it has been decided that the law
must be amended. There is no agree
ment yet on the details of the proposed
changes, but it is admitted that the
new should be so framed as not to lead
to delay in the execution of sentence
on the guilty. The London Times re-
marks that Delay in disposing Of
cases Of murder, for example. would
mean in effect the abolition Of capital
punishment. The public would not en-
dure the thought of men lying in
prison many months uncertain OF
their fate" In America, where oppor-
tunities for appeal seem at times to
be almost unlimited, says Youths Com
panion, the public does not concern
itself much when convicted murderers
delay execution for years by resort to
every device for postponement that in
genious lawyers can discover. Abuses
arising from the freedom of appeal are
as great here as those in England aris-
ing from the summary execution of
the sentence of the trial court.

FIRST USE OF AIR BRAKE.
Westinghouse "Kickshaw" on In
itial Trial Rendered Further
Talk Unnecessary.

Persons who should have known bet
ter thought Westinghouse visionary
when they were told that he proposed
to stop train by air. Nobody seemed
inclined to let him try his plan on
real train, but they did not object to
his working a model of it in shop
where he couldn't do any harm, nor in
volve anybody else in expense, writes
Arthur Warren in Success Magazine.
He knew his scheme would work, but
he could not make anyone else believe
it. So he continued to sell his inven-
ton for replacing derailed cars on the
tracks, and to talk about his brake to
any railroad man who was willing to
listen.
We'll, have you ever stopped a
train with this air thing of yours?"
they would ask.
No, he couldn't say that he had done
so. Nobody would let him try 1t even
on train of dump cars.
One day he arrived in Pittsburg,
selling his other invention and talking
about his brake notion to man cen
nected with railroad out there.
That's a great idea of yours said
the man, we will try it on our line!"
So the officials OF this railroad per-
mitted Westinghouse to put his new
''kickshaw'' or one of their trains.
But he had to agree to indemnify the
road for any damage that might be
caused to the train as the result OF
the trials! The train was equipped.
On the designated day the confident
Inventor and a group of skeptical rail-
way men boarded the train on which
the first air brakes were fixed. on
went the train on its trial trip; the
engineer put on full speed, and just
as he had rounded curve he saw
ahead, at grade crossing, and in the
middle OF the track, loaded wagon, a
man and boy, and balky horse.
The engineer moved his little lever,
and the first train that was ever
stopped by air pulled up at a stand
still several feet short of the obstruc-
ton.
Thus, on it's first trial, the Westing-
house air brake saved life and pre-
vented damage to property. Thence
forward talking was unnecessary; all
that had to be done was to make
brakes. The inventor thought of that
clause securing compensation to the
railroad for any damage he might do
to the train, and he laughed. His for
tune dated from that day. He was
then only %.

UNDERsEA COLD STORAGE.
Experiment Of the English Admir-
atty Being Carried On at
Portsmouth.

Important experiments are being
carried out by the naval authorities
at Portsmouth dockyard to ascertain
to what extent the steaming properties
of the Welsh coal used in the British
navy are improved by storage in the
sea-
Eighteen months ago iron crates,
each containing two tons of coal, were
sunk in the big basin, and at the
same time q similar quantity Of coal
was carefully stored in the open air
at the coaling point and sheltered
from the weather beneath tarpaulins.
At intervals Of six months two-toD
samples from each storage have been
taken out and carefully burned, and
the results OF the experiments have
shown conc1usively that by submarine
storage Of coal its calorific value
steadily increases, while by storage in
the open air . decided decrease is
shown.
At the naval coaling stations in the
tropics this decrease In calorific value
is very great. the suns heat drawing
all the light volatile oils out of the
coal. The admiralty, having Satisfied
themselves of the physical and fnan-
cial advantages of the storage OF coal
in the sea, have now directed that
experiments be made to ascertain its
practicability on large scale.
The difflculty is that the submerged
coal has to be dried before use, ia
remove the superficial moisture, which
otherwise in the close confines OF q
warship's bunker would soon set up
spontaneous combustion. The only
method of drying SO far attempted ID
by spreading the coal on iron trays In
the open air, process satisfactory
enough for experimental purposes, but
not feasible for quantities that amount
to thousands Of tons.
