Jack showed her his sketches one after

her eyes fixed on his face; but she said

Regarding Them.
One of the questions FROM CORE
spondents that comes to this office
with persistent reiteratien is that of
the possibility of one or the other of
the pair of wheels on a railroad axle.
IN passing around the curve, slipping
on the rail over which it is rolling.
while the other wheel does not slip
Oh its rail, says the Scientific Ameri-
can. Although we have frequently ex-
planned how this condition Is possible.
the question is one that evidently
continues to puzzle great many
people-in which respect it is first
cousin to that other much-de-
bated fact, that the portion of
the periphery OF rolling cart.
wheel that is near the ground is NOV
Ing more slowly with relation to the
earth than is the rest of the periphery.
In the case of the two wheels on any
axle of railroad or trolley car that
Is passing around a curve it is evident
that in given length, say 100 feet of
the curve, measured on a line lying
centrally between the two rails, the
inner rail will be shorter than the
outer rail, and this for the reason that
1t Is struck to a radius that is about
four and three-quarters feet shorter.
Now, when n pair of wheels passes
around the curve It follows that be-
cause of the difference In length of
the two rails, either the inner wheel
must slip backward on the inner rail
or the outer wheel slip forward on the
outer rail, for the two wheels. being
fixed on the same axle, move at the
same peripheral speed over different
lengths of rail in the same time.
1t is probable that the excessive
wear OF the rails on curves is due
chiefly to the slipping OF the wheels.
Not long ago some remarkable facts
on rail wear on curves were brought
out in the course Of a paper read be-
fore the New England Street Railway
Club by the roadmaster Of the Boston
elevated road. The road is exceeding
ly crooked, over 40 per cent Of the line
consisting OF curves, many of which
are very sharp. There are eighteen Of
less than 100fOot radius and sixteen
others with a radius of less than 100
feet. ON the sharpest curve. which is
of only S2-foOt radius and where II ia
claimed that the traffic Is heavier than
that on any other steam or heavy ciee-
tric railroad, the life of ordinary steel
rails averages only forty-four days, the
head Of the rail wearing dewn from
0G0 to OFT of an inch in that time
The great Inconvenience caused by the
constantly recurring repairs led the
company to experiment with hardened
steel rails and when some nickel steel
rails were put in on the curves the
wear was reduced to 053 Of an inch
in 2o4 days. A manganese steel rail
is now being used with good results
and the wear of these ia only about 20
per cent as rapid as that or the nickel
steel rail and about per cent as rapid
as that of the carbon steel rails.

Valuable Collection from England
Loaned to Public Library.
A small collection of coronation rel
les, representing costumes and robes
worn at different English coronations
by the royalty and the principal at
tendants, was loaned to the public
museum recently, says the Kansas
City Journal. The cloth samples are
the property of Hutton II. Haley and
were sent to him by his grandmother,
Mrs. Haley, OF London, Eng, who
was In touch with many of the tail
ors of London, and who was placed In
position to make the collection
which Is probably the only one Of its
kind extant
The most treasured piece of cleth Is
a strip taken from the coronation robe
worn by James II. in 1882, refined and
worn by Queen Victoria at her corona
ton In 1888, and later remodeled for
the royal Inauguration of Edward
VII. in 1902. The cloth Is of Hcn
lustrous red and was actually part
Of the robe until it was remOdeied for
Edward VII.
The collection also includes a piece
Of the beautiful ermine and gold
trimmed robe worn by the Princess
Victoria at her fathers coronation In
1902. There were sixty yards OF gold
BRAID costing S2,1OO, and forty yards
of ermine of an almost equivalent val
ne The cloak WAS upon a purple
background and lined with white
satin.
Carmine and white samples Of the
official robes worn by the bishops at
the coronation, viii e and wiue-eol-
ored satin, corresponding to that in
tho robes worn by the knights OF the
Path, and a blue and carmine COM
bination clipped from the unfinished
official garb of the Prime Minister,
Lord Rosebery, who was one Of the
central figures at King Edwards cor
GRAFTON, are also among the relics.

place of Abraham Lincoln is to be pre-
served thru all time as possession of
the people. of the United States.
The little farm in Kentucky where
the matchless American-' the strong
handed, clear-headed and 'great-hearted
Lincoln3'-lived when boy, was sold
recently under the auctioneer g ham
mer. The auctioneer stood on the steps
Of the courthouse at Hodgenville, few
miles from the farm. He was sur
rounded by small crowd, composed
largely of curious village folk and farm
ers. But in the crowd were several men
bent on obtaining possession of the his
toric ground The motives Of three of
the principal bidders were unknown.
Cabin Held for Ransom. ...
Already the humble cabin in which
was born the president who guided the
union ship thru It's most terrible storm
had been carted away and used as a
feature of travelling show, and is now
held intact in a cellar In Stamford,
Conn, for ransom. The acres had been
impoverished by careless tillage. The
spring where little Abe had often
stopped to drink in the heat of the day
: had been reduced to mudpuddle in
which pigs wallowed.
But the beautiful sentiment Of tho
place where the great soul was born
had not been obliterated, and in the
crowd there was one man who intended
to acquire the property for lofty pur-
pose. That man, representing Robert
j. Collier, was the successful bidder.
: He paid SO, 900 for the farm as it
stands. Now Mr.. Collier has organized
the Lincoln Farm association, with a

and women as members, to care for il
