DOUBLE TRACK.

There are many theories advanced
as to how railroads can best prevent &C.
cidents like the one east Of Gladstone
this week. Wrecks occur frequently on
all roads. in all parts of the country
where the single track is used, and the
heavier the work, the greater the danger
OF some shocking mishap.
In the wreck of this week the proper
ty loss to the Northern Pacific Is COM
paratively small, probably not exceed
ing $1,000 or 5000, and is OF small mat.
ter; but the loss of a life and the Grip
ping of a man for life is something seri.
Gus. Mistakes Of this kind will
happen. The men get careless and
thereby endanger the lives of them
selves as we'll as those of others. These
things cannot be avoided altogether,
and the only remedy is the double track.
Already the N. P. has double tracked
west nearly to Casselton and another
year will see the work extended to and
past Valley City. 1t IS a big undertake
ing, costing immense sums of money,
but the exigencies of the times demand
that all transcontinental lines like the
Northern Pacific double track their
roads. Within a very few years the
work will be completed on this road as
far as the Missouri river, and the danger
Of collisions will thereby be greatly min
imized.

Beauty of Clouds.

1t is not of first sight easy to say
why people so rarely give more than

label anything in those blue fields, pin
It down on cork or fatten it in Canada

ceaseless ~thaumaturgy which seems

Silt Marks on China.

Hunting for silt marks ON old china
Is often good fun In itself. Almost ev-
cry old piece Of aatware-i. e., plates.
platters, saucers, etc.-shows three lit
tie rough spots more or less clearly
marked on both sides, usually on the
margin. These spots were made in the
firing by the cockspur of stills, the lit
tie tripods used between the plates In
piling them up In the kiln. The three
points where the cockspur touched the
plate caused a defect in the glaze. I'm
fortunately silt marks are not as sure
a guarantee Of authenticity as some
collectors have supposed, for they are
