Passing by the hospital, an attend

chase. Before long he got a chance
for a shot, which hit the wolf badly,
and following this up with another,
the beast was slain. Its presence
in such circumstances Is accounted
for by the theory that the beast had
been hunting over night away from
his haunts. and after eating to satie-

Decrease in Earnings Of the
Santa Fe Explained.
W. B. Jansen Makasa Statement
About Them.
PROPERTY IMPROVED.
Cost for Bstterments Charged
to Operating Expenses.
Other Items OF Interest to
Railway People.

In explaining the decrease In the
earnings of the Atchison, Topeka &
Santa F'e Railway company for Febru-
airy, w. B. Jansen. the fourth vice
president of the company, has this to
say:
"Our decrease for February is more
than accounted for by the operating
charges attached to Improvement work
While the agitation against railroads
has brought about a generally bad
condition, and while we have found it
necessary to suspend some new rail-
road construction we had planned, we
still think that conditions now pre-
vailing are more or less temporary and
that in the long run the people of the
country will not see injustice done to
the railroads. .6 r,
"Our needs for additional facilities
for the proper handling of business
are heavy, and we have authori
large expenditures for improvements
and betterments. These improve
mentS carry a charge of more than
$1,000,0 900 in operating account. Such
a charge for February was approxi-
mately 100000. and such charges
will continue unless we find it neces-
Sary to put a stop to much work we
have planned. ~r
In our maintenance of equipment
charges for the month was sum ap-
proximatIng 100000, representing the
cost of strengthening, and thus in
creaSfng, the carrying capacity of our
lighter weight box cars and coal cars.
These two items account for the de-
crease in net earnings, and this de-
crease, when taken in the light of the
constant increase we have been show
ing in our net earnings, is not serious.
Operating conditions have been diff
hcult because of the steadily increas-
ing business offered. and as result of
more or less congestion the cost of
handling the business has been high.
But these operating conditions are i'm
proving, and there is no reason to be-
lieve that there will be any great
shrinkage in the business we have
been handling"

RAISE FOR THE ENGINEMEN.
Western Roads Increase Their Pay
Considerably.

Chicago, April 9.@The agreement
between thirty-one railroads west of
Chicago and the Brotherhood of Loco
motive F,iremen and Engineers was
signed yesterday. The pay of flremen
on all classes of engines is to be in
creased rs cents per day of ten hours
or less, 100 miles orsless over the rate
of pay in effect on January L, 1907. No
change is made in computing time,j and
the advance is not to apply TO men
working on a basis of l. u miles per
hour. rge- - lfls1a
The rate of fremen in first class
yards is to be SIPS per day of ten
hours overtime pro rata In all other
yards the rate is to be $2.15
The minimum rate. for firemen in
the passenger service on engines hav-
ing cylinders under 8 inches in diam
eter is to be $2,25 per day of 100 miles
or less, and $3.50 on engines having
Is inch cylinders or over. An increase
of 1 cents per day of Zoe miles or less
is given to firemen on engines carrying
a rate of $3.50 or more.
In addition to the increase of pay
the firemen are to be relieved of all
work in the cleaning of engines. The
increase granted to the f1remen is esti-
mated to be about in the same ratio
as that recently granted to the conduc-
tors and trainmen.

NOT TO HOLD DRUGGIST.
Chanute Man Who Sold Wood Alcohol
Not to Be Prosecuted.

Chanute. Kan, April 9.-The
chances are that no criminal prosecu-
ton will be brought against Chase
Brown, the Chanute druggist, who
sold to Dave Campbell, of near
Leanna, the wood alcohol which re-
suited in the latter's death. County
Attorney Peterson would not say posi-
lively today whether or not there
would be prosecution, but it is learned
from an authoritative source that
there will be none, and that the case
will be dropped so far as taking any
Official notice of the matter is con-
cerned. 1t is said that there is some
possibility, however, that the widow
of Mr.. Campbell will or1ng a damage
suit against the Chanute druggist who
sold the alcohol to her husband.
1t is said that the testimony before
the coroner's jury disclosed the fact
that the evidence in the case was not
such as to warrant the holding of the
Chanute druggist on criminal
charge. for the reason that the wood
alcohol was sold to Campbell as such,
and that he understood that he was
buying wood alcohol when he made
the purchase.

DEAD WATER STOPS SHIPS.
Vessel Itself Shown to Create a Line
of SubaqueOus Waves.

One of the most curious marine
phenomenon known to seamen is thai
| called by sailors dead water" which
without any visible cause makes a YES
| SCI lose her speed and refuse to answer
| her helm. The sailors only definite
| knowledge of it's origin is that it ex-
| lists solely where there is a surface OF
| fresh water resting upon the salt wa
| tiers of the sea.
Several explanations have been ad-
yanced by the captains of ships of the
effect of dead water, the commonest
of which is that the two water layers
move in different directions. The true
explanation, however, recently offered
by the Swedish navigators and verified
by mathematical calculation and direct
experiments, is that in addition to the
resistance waves" at the surface the
vessel creates a second line of subaque-
Gus waves between the two strata of
water.
The experiment carried out to de-
monstrate the truth of this theory was
an exceedingly pretty one. A large
plate glass tank was first mounted on
a wooden frame. The tank was then
filled to a certain depth with salt wa
ter and a layer of fresh water was
carefully poured on to the surface so
that two separate water layers were
obtained.
The salt water was blackened with
LIQUID Chinese ink before the water
layers were prepared and in this way
,
visible. A boat model was then towed
along the tank and a silhouette of the
waves produced was obtained by plac-
ing a white screen at a short distance
behind the tank. The waves were also
photographed by flashlight and the
results also showed conclusively that
waves actually were set up at, the
boundary line between the two liquids.
Further experiments were made to
verify the sudden loss of speed due to
dead water. The boat model was drawn
across the tank and the towing string
suddenly slackened when the boat was
about halfway across. In cases where
the tank contained salt water only the
boat stopped gradually, moving some
boat lengths after the towing string
had been slackened. When the tank
contained a layer Of fresh water rest
ing on salt water. on the other hand,
the boat slackened speed quite sud
denly and moved only very short dis
lance.
These experiments carried out on a
small scale, prove conclusively that the
difficulties encountered within a dead
water zone are really due to the re-
sistance experienced by the vessel in
generating invisible waves at the fresh
water salt water boundary, although in
some particular cases the influence of
undercurrents must also doubtless be
taken into account.-Chicag Chron-
icle.
