along the route for twelve miles
from here to Berea.
The bug managed to fall into the
whistle of the engine. For an hour
the whistle blew-blew demoniacal
screeches, falsetto screams, drawing
excited crowds to the track. 1t was

swallows and martins, the great en-

Soldiers Warm Meals.

Timed meats for the Russian troops
are prepared by process which en-.
ables the contents of each tin to be
served hot without fire. This boon
is secured by having the ordinary tins
filed with food "jacketed" in patent
tins. The patent tin contains water:
together with chemical mixture, by
means of which the water can be
raised to boiling point in ten minutes
or a quarter of an hour. All that is
necessary to do when it is desired to
heat the food is to puncture the top Of
the patent tin, the chemical mixture
being thereby forced into the water,
which soon begins to boil.
