men in the GAINESVILLE yards still tell in
their shanties Of the night the Black
wood bridge went out and Cameron's
stock train got away on the hill, with
the Denver f1ier caught at the foot like
a rat in trap.
Ben Buckley was only big boy
then, braking on freights. l was dis
patching under Alex Campbell on the
West End. Ben was tall, loose joint
ed fellow, but gentle as kitten; legs
as long as pinch bars, yet none too
long running for the Beverly switch
that night. His great chum In those
days was Andy Cameron. Andy was
the youngest engineer on the line. The
first time ever saw them together
Andy, short and chubby as a duck,
was dancing around, half dressed, on
the roof of the bath house, trying to get
away from Ben, who had the fire hose
below. playing on him with two inch
stream Of ice water. They were up to
some sort of prank all the time.
June was usually rush month with
lis. From the coast we caught the new.
crop Japan teas and the fall importa-
tions of China silks. California still
sent her fruits, and Colorado was be-
ginning cattle shipments. From Wy
oming came sheep and from Oregon
steers, and all these not merely in car
loads, but in solid trains. At times we
were swamped. The overland traffic
alone was enough to keep US busy. On
top Of it came great movement of
grain from Nebraska that summer, and
to crown our troubles rate war
sprang up. Every man, woman and
child east of the Mississippi appeared
to have but one object in life-that was
to get to California and to go over our
road. The passenger traffic burdened
our resources to the last degree.

Flies and Trout.

Mr.. Jas. Dobson refers to a trout
being caught at short intervals upon
different patterns Of flies, and there
from draws the not unnatural infer
ence that one fly is as good as another
upon the anglers line. This is no
doubt true enough when trout are
feeding ravenously, but it is as much
beside the mark when the fish are
we'll fed and have become discrim-
mating in what they eat. If any
angler has any doubts upon a trout's
ability as a wide-awake entomologist
let him try the simple experiment of
feeding a few insects to one lying in
a convenient position-as, for in
stance, below a bridge, or under some
large, overhanging tree, where he can
have a good view of the fish without
himself being seen. I am %supposing a
large, well-fed trout of epicurean
tastes, the very sort of fish in fact
which we are all most anxious to
have in our creels, but whose capture
Is no such easy matter. Well, to such
a one let the angler throw a few in
sects of different sorts, one after In
other, and watch the results. He
may, for example, take some bluebot-
ties and wood flies, two very nearly
allied flies, between which probably
five persons out of ten would scarcely
discriminate, but which possess very
different attractions for trout. Let
him flick in three or four wood flies
In succession; they will probably
be taken at once. Then try a COM
mon bluebottle; the trout will prob
ably closely inspect it and refuse to
take it, though he will take the next
wood fly as readily as before. Or
the observer may try a wasp or some
other. insect. If after half an hours
or so sport in this manner he is not
perfectly persuaded as to the trout's
ability to distinguish "sweet cake"
from Drown bread" all I can say is
that he is harder to convince than I
was.-Country Gentleman.

Sea Superstition.

All the old seadogs of League Island
agree that the new battleship Tennes-
see is destined to experience some
misfortune. When the commission
pennant was ~unfurled on the Tennes-
see, instead of floating out in a long,
narrow streamer, it wrapped itself
around the mast, and continued to do
so every time it war unwrapped. The
sailors say that this happens rarely.
but when it does it forebodes evil.
When the ~battleship Missouri, on
which the disastrous turret explosion
occurred, went into commission her
pennant did the same thing.--Phila.

ECcENTRIC1T1Es OF ALUMINIUM.
Highly Combustible When in the
Form of Dust.

80 "a DASSe
A curious characteristic of alum.
mum is attracting an increasing
amount of attention. When reduced
to powder and ignited with a suitable
fuse, it will burn rapidly and with
something like explosive activity. In
so doing it generates great heat. Six
or eight years ago a German named
Goldschmidt showed how that fact
could be used in industry. The YIELDS
Ing of a broken steamship shaft with
out removal from its bearings was
one of the consequences of his dis
covery. A suitable amount of pow
dered aluminium was placed around
the fracture and burned. So great
was the resulting heat that adequate
hammering quickly repaired the
break.
Now ZONES a fresh story illustrat-
ing the same popularity. 1t is told
by an English periodical, Engineer
ing, but the scene is evidently in
France or Germany. At a certain
factory for making articles of alum
mum bronze, it is customary to give
them a polish by grinding. Fine dust
is generated in this manner, and the
dust occasionally takes fire and ex-
plodes. At first it vas thought that
electric sparks caused by friction
served the purpose of a match in
these cases. 1t is now thought prob
able that the sparks are not electric
at all, but result from the dashing Of
the machinery. However this may
be, the important fact is that small
explosions occur when there is alum
mum dust in the air. Apparently
they have never attained destructive
proportions, but experts who have
studied the matter recommend va
rious methods of preventing any ac-
cidents.
These cases occur with dry dust,
and in all of them there is genuine
combustion. That is to say, themetal
combines with oxygen gas, exactly as
coal or wood or oil does when burn
ing. Quite another operation, though,
is now attributed to aluminium dust
when it is moist. 1t is said that the
particles act on water in such a way
as to separate the constituents, and
that the hydrogen thus freed will
sometimes take fire.
One of the men whose experiments
are mentioned by Engineering de-
clares that the decomposition Of
water by aluminium dust begins at
eighty-six degrees Fahrenheit. AS it
does not take place at sixty-eight de-
grees Fahrenheit, iced water is used
for washing the metal. In cases Of
fire, when red hot aluminium is
quenched by water, large flames Of
burning hydrogen, or wen explosions,
are produced. Aluminium bronze, asI
fine dust, contains on the average
2.3 per cent. by weight of MOISTURE
and 1t has been suggested that Ghel
decomposition of this water in the
polishing machines may have been
the cause of the explosions in these
Instances. But the production of hy-
drogen by the decomposition Of the
normal moisture associated with the
metal never exceeds four per cent. of
the theoretical quantity even under
the most favorable conditions, and
this quantity is It dangerous.

U. S. D%ISPENSAT0RY
Describes the Principal ingredients
Contained in Pe-ru-na.

Are we claiming too much for Pc
runa when we claim it to be an effec-
tive remedy for chronic catarrh?
Have we abundant proof that Peruna
is in reality such a catarrh remedy?
Let us see what the United States Dis
pensatory says of the principal in
gradients Of Peruna.
Take, for instance, the ingredient
hydrastis canadensis, or golden seal.
Tho United States Dispensatory says
of this herbal remedy, that 1t is large
ly> employed in the treatment of de-
PRAYED mucous membranes, chronic
rhinitis (nasal catarrh), atomic dys-
pepsia (catarrh of the stomach),
chronic intestinal catarrh, catarrhal
jaundice (catarrh of the liver), and
in diseased mucous membranes of the
pelvic organs. 1t is also recommended
for the treatment of various forms of
diseases peculiar to women.
Another ingredient of Peruna, cory.
dalis formosa, is classed in the United
States Dispensatory as a tonic. So also
is cubebs classed as a stomachic and
as a tonic for the mucous membranes.
Cedron seeds is another Ingredient
of Peruna, an excellent drug that has
been very largely overlooked by the
medical profession for the past fifty
years. The seeds r to be found in
very few drug stores. The United
States Dispensatory say of the action
of Cedron hat it is used as a bitter
tonic and in the treatment of dysen-
terry, and in intermittent diseases as a
substitute for quinjne.
Oil of copaiba, another Ingredient
of Peruna, is classed by the United
States Dis~pensatory as a mild stimu-
liant and diuretic. 1t acts on the stom.
ach and intestinal tract. 1t acts as a
stimulant on the genito-urinary mem.
branes. Useful in chronic cystitis,
chronic dysentery and diarrhea, and
some chronic diseases of the liver and
kidneys.
Send to us for a free book of testi-
monials of what the people think of
Peruna as a catarrh remedy. The
best evidence is the testimony Of
those who have tried it.
