INVENTED BY A WOMAN.
5eveled Rail Joint That Prevents
the Jolting Of Railway
Cars.

Mrs. 1. ]. Crawford of st. Joseph,
Mo-, has just invented a rail joint that
promises to entirely eliminate a great
annoyance to travellers on railways
and, what is more, reduces the posi-
bility of danger from train wrecking.
The device is called the Crawford
Joint but it might be very aptly
styled the joint without jolt Mrs.
Crawford claims for her invention
that It will overcome the everlasting
clicking and iolting which is one OF
the unpleasant features of travel over
the rails now in use on all lines. II
consists merely in beyeling the ends OF
the rails. Instead of chopping the
rails square at the ends, as is now
done. and fastening them together by
means of plates to a shank, Mrs.
Crawford would have the rails cut OF
obliquely, with a very gradual taper
toward point. and would then place
the tapering ends together, one over
tapping the other, and would hold
them in place by means Of bolts.
The Crawford joint win probably be
six or seven feet in length, long
enough to give space for three or more
ties to support It. This is cheaper
than the old way, since no plates are
necessary.

Boys Of st. Paul, Mimi, Organize
Company for Fun, But Get

OF some boy fremen," a st. Paul
(NIinn.) exchange once had this: Over
in the Sixth ward there is growing up
a company of juvenile fremen that
will know all about fire-fghting by
the time they are old enough, to en-
ter the service. The day of the re-
cent inspection they had made prep
arations to receive the visitors at
engine house No. 6. A pile of brush,
shavings and kindling wood was
stacked up on vacant lot. A bar
rel of water stood close by, and when
the visitors had alighted, the boys
came around the corner with a small
brake engine, drawn by pair Of
dogs, a hose-cart and hook-and-lad-
der truck. The fire had been start
ed, and was under good Roadway when
the youngsters got on the ground.
They laid their hose. coupled on to the
engine, and went to work hard, and
soon had the fire out. They were
highly complimented for their efi-
cheney.

A HOMEMADE NOVELTY.
Funny Little Man Who Will Come to
Life Over Gas Jet or Hot
Air Register.

Have you ever heard Of convection
current7 Il Is the current Of heated
air that is bound to rise from any
heated place or object. To prove the
existence of convection current, take
q gas flame, for instance, or a hot air
grating In a sidewalk.
You may see the hot air simmering
up from the grating, which makes the
objects just beyond it lose the exact
outlines of their shapes and look
wabbly.
First cut out circle of tin; then cut
almost to the center on the dotted
lines, as shown in Fig. /. Bend each
cut section to an angle Of as degrees.
Now secure length of strong, tough
wire that won't bend with heat, and
form with It the angle shown at A
Gig ~. Twist small round loop
eye at the end of the upper horizontal
piece which is marked B, G, and fasten
that wire to the gas pipe, or to wall
If the gas pipe is not convenient.
Run a second lower horizontal wire
at d, q, terminating it in loop just
too small for the vertical wire to slip
through. This loop is to act as a
socket for It to turn in. Now fix the
tin wheel to the top Of the vertical
wire, as shown, after having inserted

RAILROAD IMPROVEMENTS.
In the Western States They Are
Being introduced Very
Rapidly.

That the cost of operation of one
Of the big western limited trains is an
enormous item may be conjectured
from the fact that in the 2,309 mile run
from Lake Michigan to the Pacific
coast these heavy trains must sur
mount an altitude of nearly 1900 feet,
from a height of $50 feet above sea
level at Chicago, the initial point. This
climb, says the Pittsburg Post, may be
realized when it is learned that the
Pennsylvania railroad in crossing the
Alleghanies has to ascent not moro
than 1000 feet from an altitude of 700
feet at Pittsburg, and almost every
one knows what the grade is on the fa-
nous Horseshoe curve. When the trans
continental train reaches Los Angeles
1t has descended TO a bare 266 feet
above the level of the Pacific. Small
wonder 1t is then that the eye of the
connoisseur in mechanics gazes in adj
miration upon the monster locomotives
of the latest Pacific type turned QUE
by the Baldwin shops for the draught
of these heavy trains across the Rock
les and the SieTras; and even the anna
teur in railroading can see from tho
observation car as the train speeds
along that the roadbed is perfect, the
grades and curves as easy as they
could possibly be made, the ballasting
all that could be desired and the loco
motion as even as though the train
were propelled along CLASSY surface
as smooth as that of a tranquil pond.
Yet the 2,309 miles from Chicago to
Los Angeles are covered with an aver
age OF about IS miles to the hour. OF
course this comparison suffers with
the so miles per hour maintained by
| the 18-hour trains of the Pennsylvania
and Lake Shore railroads between
New York and Chicago, but 1t must
be remembered that these roads have
reached the utmost perfection in rail-
road development; that much Of the
| right-of way is occupied by four tracks
and none of it by less than two; that
the distance on which the speed is
maintained is approximately but 900
miles, against the 1900 miles Of trans
continental roadway under discussion,
and of these 1900 miles by this route
only 48S of it is double track.
But they are learning fast how to
! railroad in the west.

pie Of aiding Che American merchan
marine by giving a bounty to ships
constructed in this country and called
under the American flag IS to be roc
ignized. The bill that is likely to be-
come law, 1t having already passed
The senate, does not make any great
draft upon the public funds. In fact for
several years none OF the pr4ssnt
revenues Of the treasury will have 20
be touched, as the subsidy will be fur
nished by an additional tonnage tax
levied upon the vessels. The present
proposition only cOntemplates the
granting Of a bounty or subsidy for
ten years.
The one fact that appealed to con-
gress more than any other in favor
of substituting the American merchant
marine is that Less than ten per cent
OF our foreign commerce Is carried
Under the American flag. The old
homely illustration of merchant
hiring the delivery wagons of COM
peting firm to deliver his goods has
been used with good effect in pressing
the necessity of this country furnish
ing the ships that carry our commerce.
to the world.
This bill has been fought through
for years by Senators Frye of Maine
and Gallinger of New Hampshire, and
to them belongs much of the credit il
it becomes a law. They found it diff
ficult to arouse a sentiment in the
country outside the districts that are
interested in shipbuilding, but by their
| persistent efforts they have finally
convinced the western wheat apd cat
tie grower that It would be to his adj
vantage to ship his products through
out the world under the Ameri an
flag.

RAILWAYS IN SOUTHWEST.
Far More Than Half the Activity
Said to Exist West Of the
Missouri.

During the year 1905 about 5000
miles Of railway has been built in the
United States, of which the south
western states are credited with 1,1O6
miles, OF more than any other group.
Texas is second in the list, with 937
miles, and Louisiana, Of which large
portion is west of the Mississippi riv-
err is third with 243 miles. Missouri,
which was at the head of the list i'll
1904 with 364 miles, is about the mid
die this year, its new construction
standing at 50 miles Nearly half the
new mileage completed is in the states
and territories with which Missouri is
closely in touch. Illinois is sixth, with
1879 miles. Arkansas, Oklahoma and
Mississippi are not far below. New
Mexico and Indian Territory have each
added more than 100 miles to their ag-
gregate.
Far more than half the activity iu

sippi. More construction is going for.
ward in the northwest than for sew
eral years past, a fact due to new en-
terprises reaching toward the Pacific
coast. North Dakota leads all the
states this year, with its 525 miles of
new railway. The six New England
states are down to IS miles, and the
middle Atlantic states to 252 miles. In
the south Atlantic and gulf states the
total is over 1900 miles. Less than
fifth of the railway building of 1905
was in the territory Of the original
colonies. The southwest makes a con-
tinued fine showing, without including
Mexico, where railway development is
at high mark.

Draw his head and body, in one
piece, on a sheet of hard paper Now,
on another sheet, draw his legs and
hips, in the position shown in the pic
ture On third sheet draw one arm,
for Jack needs only one. Place your
drawings on a thin sheet of tin, and
cut around the edges of the paper till
you have the outline of the drawings
reproduced in tin.
Now lay Jacks tin body on a block
Of wood, and join his tin legs to It 80
that the edges overlap. Drive nail
through both pieces of tin at this
point, and join the pieces together by
passing a wire through the nail-hole
and then twisting the ends together be-
hind Jacks back. Put on his arm in
the same manner, and in the same way
fasten his feet to the horizontal wire.
Next connect Jacks outstretched arm
by a wire loop with the point of the
angle of the vertical wire.

&c most of the offers of presents the
gifts of some southern friends have
been accepted gratefully and apprecia-
lively by Uncle Joe" Down in North
Carolina, where he was born, there is
an old lady who never saw him, but
who has watched his public career
and believes that he has brought hon
or to his native state, although he left
it when but a chill.
This old lady has not forgotten the
frontier art of spinning yarn and
weaving cloth. Last fall she wove
with her own hands, on an old-fash-
toned loom, a web of homespun cloth
that is a marvel of fine texture and
workmanship. She sent to Speaker
Cannon enough of the cloth to make
him suit Of clothes. He had his
tailor manufacture the garments, and
all winter he has proudly worn that
dark gray suit of hOmespun while pre-
siding over the house. 1t is a becom-
ing suit and has excited the admira-
ton of all his friends.
Another North Carolina lady knit
the speaker a pair of white wool socks,
such as kept our ancestors feet warm
when deer skin moccasins were more
plentiful than fine leather shoes. Still
another gift came from the same state
in the shape of pair of knit suspend
ers or "galluses" as they were known
in Uncle Joe's" boyhood He has put
these away in his cabinet to preserve
for his grandchildren, so they may
know what sort Of clothing was worn
