Screws Hold Ties Best.

Railroads of the world are con.
fronted with the problem of the tie
supply, and many plans for prolong-
ing the life Of the tie or finding some
substitute are being investigated.
At least partial solution seems to
be in the use of screws, instead of
spikes, in laying track. When these
are made use Of in laying new track,
the life of the tie Is greatly pro-
longed, and apparently useless ties
may be made to do renewed service.
The part of the tie which gives way
in use is that Immediately under the
tracks, where the slight movement of
the rail cuts into the fibers OF the
wood, and where the spikes holding
the rails in place enter the tie. The
wood may be sound at all other points
but, because of its weakness where 1t
is desired to drive the spikes, it Is
necessary to throw the log away.

Scientific Wrecks,

The German government has taken
possession of short strip of track
near Berlin and Is planning to execute
unique series of railroad accidents"
made to order. Every variety of mis-
placed switch will be tesed, every
possible defect in wheels, axles and
car equipment will be tried out, and
the grand finale is to be an immense
head-on collision of locomotives. These
spectacular exhibitions are not planned
by the government as a national
amusement. They are for the pur-
pose Of scientific experiment, so that
the engineers and railway experts may
study ways and means to prevent &C
cidents of all kinds in the future.
Railroad disasters have occurred
with alarming frequency in the Ger
man empire. 1t Is estimated that
the German railways lose 81, $50, 900 an
nually through damages. After the
causes and effects of each variety Of
wreck have been noted 1t will be the
task Of the government officials to de-
wise safeguards.

BELIEVES IN HORSE RACING.

Bloomington, Ind.-Rev. w. r. Will
laims, of this city, was not afraid to
boldly advocate his sentiments when
the matter of horse racing at the coun-
ty fair was under discussion. He be-
lieves In racing.
Mr.. Williams is not man who seeks
notoriety, but when worldly matter
comes to his attention he speaks his
convictions. He prepared the follow
ing statement for the Journal:
There are two objections raised
against horse racing. Cruelty to the
horse and gambling. do not consider
racing cruel, nor any more task than
driving or working the horse extra
time for pleasure or money. God
gave man dominion over the animal
kingdom. Man can lawfully use any
animal for his profit or pleasure.

Little material goes to waste In

said Gus Kissinger, of Ludington,
Mich, at the Plankinton house. Years
ago tremendous loss was incurred In
the saving Of logs, but in many OF
the Michigan sawmills. including
those at Ludington and Manistee, slabs
and sawdust are now OF value.
1.-The dust once collected in srch
quantities as to be hindrance to
work In the mills. II occupied much
space on the surrounding grounds.
The slabs were piled In all directions.
They were free to anyone who would
be accommodating enough to haul
them away by the wagon load.
AFTER the sawmills had run for
many years salt was discovered and
wells were bored. Now some OF the
largest salt blocks In the world are
along the western coast OF Michigan,
and the fuel used In running their ma
chinery comes from the sawmills. In
most cases the owners of the large
sawmills became the owners of the

the mountain will have disappeared.
This is the famods Erzbprg, about
80 miles southwest of Vienna In the
Austrian duchy of Syria. 1t is in the
center OF the great iron mining region
of Austria and around 1t smoke many
blast furnaces, all of them fed by the
ore which this mountain supplies, for
the Erzberg is mass of solid iron ore
more than 5000 feet in height The
ore is extremely rich and yields from
30 to 45 per cent. of pure iron.
There are few similar masses of
iron ore In the world, but not many.
Near the City of Durango, ~ Mexico,
is small mountain of ore and near
the east coast Of Queensland Is small
island In the Duke group that is all
iron ore, and 1t is estimated that 1t
will yield total OF 2,250,0c0 tons.
Miners are cutting the ore out of
the Erzberg at the rate of 100000
pounds year. and 1t Is estimated that
at this rate 1t will take them 1000
years longer to dig the mountain en-

Although the founder of Christian
ity declared that 1t was no sin to
pluck an ear of corn on the Sabbath.
the Connecticut blue laws make it a
crime to shoot a snake on Sunday
or to sell or to buy an antidote for a
snake bite. Peter Zarcone, of Dan
bury. was bitten by an adder as he
was passing through swamp and
he shot and killed the reptile. But
he was caught by the police and

SAVED TRAIN FROM WRECK.
Engineers PremonltIon Of Danger
Averted Disaster.

But for locomotive engineers pre-.
monition OF impending danger.
frightful wreck would have undoubt-
eddy occurred ON the Chicago & North
western road. according TO informa-
ton from Negaunee, Mich. One man
was killed as 1t was, but the fact that
many other persons had an extremely
close call from similar fate was not
brought out in the meager reports of
the fatality.
A freight train had taken a siding
near Pensaukee in order to permit
the passage of a passenger train. due
in a few minutes. 1t was found, how
ever, that the siding was not long
enough to permit the train to clear
the main line, and the head brakeman
was sent to flag the passenger in or
der that when it arrived the two trains
could saw" by each other.
The fiagman had not been gone long
when the engineer of the freight train
was seized with dread of an accident,
and to ease his mind second brake
man was sent after the first. The
second fiagman had gone only few
hundred feet from the engine when M
met the passenger coming along at full
speed. He was successful in stopping
1t, and climbing on the locomotive he
inquired why the train had not stopped
for the flag of his brother brakeman.
He was informed that the train had
not been tagged, nor had the brake
man been seen.
The passenger train was backed up,
and search was made for the first
brakeman. He was soon found, a
corpse, lying beside the track From
an examination made of the remains,
1t was surmised that he lay down for
rest and had almost Immediately
fallen asleep on the track, where he
was caught by the oncoming passen-
GER scooped up on the pilot and
thrown to one side. Death must have
been instantaneous, as there was
large hole In the head.
The premonition of impending peril
which had come over the engineer OF
the freight train proved to have been
merciful source of warning, for
disastrous collision was averted. The
length Of the freight train made 1t
necessary for part of 1t to remain
standing on the main line, and into
these cars the passenger train would
have crashed.
