DARING Railway Buildinu.

The work of constructing n railroad
to the summit of Mount Blanc has
been begun with enthusiasm and the
engineers in charge of the undertak
ing will push the construction with al,
possible speed The line will be built
like the Junefrau line in the Bernese
Oberland, Switzerland. 1t will have
a total length of nineteen kilometers
eleven and four-frths miles, and will
1t is hoped. be completed within five
or six years. The carriages will be
heated and lighted by electricity. and
the train will be composed of an elec
trical engine and two saloon cars
made to accommodate about eighty
people. A special arrangement of the
windows will permit all travellers in
discriminatory TO enjoy the scenery
Three kinds of powerful brakes, indie
pendent of each other, will be attach
ed to the cars, thus rendering all ac
cidents impossible. The telephone
will be established along the line anG
will connect any point thereof with
the head stations.

Million Bushels of Wheat Wasted

100000 freight cars. These last dg-

for 100000 tons on their books.
I'm spite of these great orders, and

sharks teeth to give cutting edge
to their wooden knives and swords
The mouth Of the shark contains three
hundred teeth, arranged in FIVE rows
all closely lying upon each other, ey,
cept the outer row, and so constructed
that as the tooth is broken or lost
another takes its place The teeth
are not only pointed and keen.edsed
but are finely and regularly serrated
so that the cutting power is greatly
increased. Indeed, so great faculty
have these teeth for wounding that
the implements and weapons upon
which they are used have to be han

Islanders make many strange articles
of sharks teeth.

Man of MANY Promises.

Abdul Hamid, the Sultan of Turkey,
always expresses the greatest aston
ishment when told that reforms have
not been carried out, and declares that
it is the fault of his ministers and
other subordinates who have neglect
ed to obey his orders He then prom
ises that there will be no further de-

and modification that anyone should
suspect him Of insincerity. Nothing
happens. The ambassadors go again

How Auto Speed Has Increased.

The great object sought by this
rapid development of the motor has
been attained in a sensational degree.
The increase during the past ten years
would be almost incredible weer there
not figures to prove it. In 1895 the
Paris-Bordeaux road race was won by
a 31a-horse power automobile witt an
average speed of 10 miles an hour. In
1897 the winning automobile, and s.
horse power machine, covered the $50
miles of the ParisAmsterdam race
at 2S miles an hour. In 1899 the
Paris-BordeauX race was won by 70
horse power automobile going at so
miles an hour. In 1901 the Paris-Bor-
deaux race was won by a 644-horse
power machine with an average hour
ly speer of 80 miles an hour-the same
course that was covered six years be
fore at Is miles an hour. The in
crease in speed since that time, though
great, has been more gradual. The
winning car in the Vanderbilt Cup
race the most important held in Amer
lea, averaged slightly less than GO
miles an hour for the 2S3 miles; 1t
was of S0-horse power, but in the
same race there we're cars of 100
horse power and one of 130.-Amer-

for such a deposit True, but the

the latter collect more dust than a
steamer. On a recent voyage of q

ed ninety-seven days-twenty-fou
barrels of dust were swept from the
decks! The captain was a man OF
scientific tastes and made careful OBJ
servations, but could not solve the
mystery. Some, no doubt, comes from
the wear and tear on the sails and
rigging, but that accounts for only a
small portion. To add to the mys
terry, bits of cork, wood and vegetable
fiber are frequently found in this sea
dust. Where does it come from?"

Moro Steam Engines Used Now Than
Ever Before.

The use of the steam engine is in
creasing faster to-day than ever before.
Many mammoth industrial plants are
exclusively engaged in building steam
boilers and engines, and it is the proud
boast of one of these, the Atlas Engine
Works, of indianapolis, that it aver
ages complete boiler and engine outfit
of fifty horsepower every thirty min
utes of the working day.
When the visitor to their plant has
gone through two or three of their
great warehouses, and emerges upon
boiler yard of twenty acres, he won
ders where upon earth use can be
found for all the boilers and engines.
But, il he will watch the loading
process, he will see some ten or twelve
trainloads per day go out, labeled for
destinations all over the world, and
will gain some notion of the magnitude
of the worlds work. Then. when he is
told that this one concern, leviathan of
the trade though it is, does not produce
ten per cent. of the worlds output of
steam boilers and engines, he will be-
gin to realize how vast is the produc-
tion and consumption Of steam power
throughout the world.
The product of this one plant which
builds every type and size of horizontal
steam engine, affords an interesting
study Of mechanical evolution. The
balanced slide-valvc. the shaft gov
ernor, the rotating, or Corlss valves,
self-oiling devices, compound cylinders
and direct connected shafts are only
the more visible improvements. The
built-up connecting rod, the removable
bearings, improved piston construction,
stronger and lighter designs Of bed,
more intelligent designing of all recip-
rocating parts, better selection OF ma
terials and more accurate workman
ship throughout are some of the things
that differentiate the engine of to-day
from that of half n century ago.
The changes in boiler construction
have not been so numerous. but they
have been quite rs marked. In the out
put of this one concern can be found
every size and type Of boiler. from the
little horizontal tubular of fifteen
horsepower, to the new Atlas water
tube, which purilics its own water,
superheats its own steam and gives the
highest efficiency yet accomplished in
boiler construction.
