Scarcity of Cars.

Chicago, Oct. 21.-Railroad official,
here complained today of the lack Of
cars to handle the business from the
northwest, chiefly on account Of the heavy
grain movement They say the rail
roads are more worried about being able
to handle their business than they are
about any financial depression. All
classes of freight are heavy and railroad
officials have all they can do and more.
There are sgns of an easier monetary

manently moist. Great pains were
therefore taken to extend the cable
down to the permanent water table
To do this a crowbar was used tC
start the holes, which were deepeneC
by an auger two inches in diameter
welded on the end of half-inct
square iron rod, up and down which
the handle slipped held in place BY
a thumb-screw at the right height fol-
boring. The hole was filled about the
cable with fine sand, pail of water
| causing it to pack.
These grounds were made at dag
onally opposite corners and also in the
centers of long barns. The illustra
ton also shows how this upright
grounding cable was fastened to the
! horizontal cable extending along the
ridge pole. Here again tees were
used, properly drilled and tapped fol
| the needed screws to hold the upright
tight and to form the electric connec
ton. These upright cables are made
to go as nearly vertical as possible
by boring a suitable hole through the
roof and not carrying them out ovel
the caves.

continuous from the wet earth to the
ridge pole of the building, the attach
ment of the points being the sole
joints in the whole system.
For the rods on the barns at the
Michigan Agricultural college, half
inch, seven-strand, double-g galvanized
cable was used, costing about three
cents per lineal foot. For smaller
buildings, such as the usual farm
house, three-eighths-inch cable would
be large enough and would be much
easier to handle. The cable was fast
ened to the barn by three-inch staples,
"a to 80 inches apart, and without
glass or other insulation.
The points were made of half-inch
round iron rods. They were SO inches
long when not on cupolas. When on
cupolas the rods extend 80 inches
above the tops of these cupolas. The
upper ends of the points are sharp
ened, the taper being about three in
ches and the point finished with a
coarse file Threads are cut at the
lower ends of the 36-inch points.
The illustration shows meth
cd of making splice, using a

Child Life in France.

Modern France is the stronghold of
the family system. See French
family at dinner in restaurant, or
for that matter at home. You will
never see a gayer, livelier function.
There is such frank and unassumed
sense of community about the whole
thing. The boys adore their mother,
the girls their father, the parents take
such whole hearted delight IN their
children and the children are so happy
and respectful. 1t is sight or which
every Frenchman may be proud OF.
Then, again, French parents love to
play the part of lesser Providence to
their children. Nowhere in the world
are so many or such varied toys for
children made and sold as in Paris.
The stranger is often astonlshed at
the fact that no child ever crosses his
path who does not bear something
novel something ingenious IN the
shape of plaything.
