which will carry the road through the mountains and up on the inland pla teau. 1t will then follow mainly the water parting between the Congo and Zambesi river systems, a le-el region offering few engineering problems and not a single important river to cross.
 This large enterprise is eloquent testimony to the faith of it's projectors in the great value of the Katanga mining region. This faith based uron the results Of seven years of investi- Cation which Robert Williams and hi? force of mining engineers have given 10 this region. In an interview the other day Mr. Williams said that they had found a zone rich in copper e; tending almost 200 miles northwest and southeast nearly to the frontier of RhOdesia.
 They had marked about 100 loca- tions on this line which promised re- markedly rich returns and his com pany intended to begin operations on 2 large scale as sOon as the railroad should supply :he essential transports ton. He had not found the gold pros poets promising, but the amount of iron is enormous and coal has just been discovered, though it is too early to say how important it will be in the development of Katanga.
 This company, however, does not hold nearly all the mining preserves of that region and a pretty race is now in DrOg"esS to see WhC will be tbe first to reach them. The Cape to Cairo railroad hopes to tap southern Katanga in a year or two and the Congo State has 5000 men building the line around the last rapids that impede steam transportation from the Congo mouth to this territory The Tanganyika concessions will, however. have the shortest route from the sea to the mining districts.

industries by spending home money outside the jurisdiction. In Parlia- ment the question was asked.
 In the reply France learned incl dentaily that the new locomotives were of the type that draws the Allan tic City Express at the rate of nearly 70 miles an hour over a 60-mile run. That such a sDIrt, however, is done in America only on specially prepared high-spevd tracks and with a loading gauge that permits the use of heavy rolling s,cc6 was detail not over much dWeIt on.
 One of the first ro7ults was a catas- trophe that permanently sickened two French lires-the Orleans and the Midi--Cf excessive velocities. Within a year after the adoption of American type locomotives, the Sud-Express be- tween Bayonne ard Dax la 31-mile spurU was averaging 57 miles per hour, and the G7-mile Morceux- Bor- deauX break was negotiated at never less than 6 miles per hour!
 It was besween Eayonne and Dax that the Historic accident occurred. The Sud express simply dashed off one | of the rCa,, 5 abrupt curves at a tan gent. No satisfactory explanation has ever been assigned: bat l have heard that the rcadbed had been undermined by water from spring that suddenly trickled through the rocks at one side. At any rate, the Sud express now does Paris-Rayonne at an inclusive average of 50 miles per hour.
 That the other French companies lost no time in profiting by the exam pie to improve their ballasting and substitute heavier rails is certain; but even on the most famous trunk line l stretches there remain the numerous l curves, grade crossings and facing l points that would send an American l engineer promptly into nervous pros | tratiOn.

The body of a dead American has made the swiftest railway run of the whole world.

Others say it was the body of a man--"an American mil lionaire; I never heard his name be- fore" It may be; there are many such The French railway people will tell nothing To admit the facts would be confession that the French laws . mile per hour limit had been broken fiagrantIy by a special train in long spurts over the most important roadbed of France.

 But is it not an awful picture lmpassive corpse alone in it's car, crashing onward, faster, faster, to make the connection that will give it peace in it's own hallowed home soil?
 The peculiar incident has very much struck the Pa~isians, and all the more so as it illustrates the terrific speeds French railways are attaining, writes Sterling HeiHg in the New York Press. It was a special funeral train of two cars, quitting Paris a few minutes ahead of the train de luxe tacultatiff' of the MediterraneanCa-

 The corpse did it in just two hours and a half. or 150 minutes - making the sust aimed break of 1S5 miles at the average of 73 miles; and when the first wonder of it passes the ques- ton arises: How have French rail tional speeds over their curving and otherwise inferior roadbeds?
 It is a creditable American story. because if in the last five years the French lines. first one then another, have broken all the proudest English records, it has been due purely and simply to the adoption of American type locomotives.
 Somewhere around 1S99-1900 two of the French state lines tOund them selves in the predicament of being re- fused locomotives by all the French makers. Arrogantly sure of the home business, they had refused to enlarge their plants or to work overtime. They told their customers to wait.
 Now, the French government is, after all, not to be tn. ned down in this style. Nor is the Orleans railway. So, before the Creusots knew what was going to strike them, both the State and the Orleans lines had bought a number of high-speed American built locomotives. A small row was raised-at the spectacle of govern ment discriminating against it's own

Useful Table Heaters.

Table heaters are useful in keeping food hot when it must come from considerable distance. Many hotels use them, but they are also a great convenience in private houses that have basement kitchens. The heaters frame on top of which sets a nickel tray large enough to hold an ordinary sized meat plate or one or two smaller dishes. Underneath is an alcohol lamp. The heaters are low, of orna- mental designs.
