Enujneer Who Makes Time.

"They do not run trains SO fast in
England, because the engineers know
too much about their engines said
an engineer who has run an engine in
that country. in England a man has
to be q competent machinist before
he is allowed to run.
They say that the man who knows
all about how an engine is put togeth-
er, knows how delicate some OF its
parts are, knows how many dozen and
one things there are liable to break
at any minute, hasn't the nerve to
run n of them 80 or 80 miles an
hour.
The best engineers are the ones
who don't know too much about their
engine-just know enough to locate
a pounding in a cylinder box or how to
unlock her on one side ii she breaks
a driving rod or something that way.
That's q theory at any rate, and I
believe it's pretty nearly right"

Capturing an Engine.

One Of the finest stories in the his
tory OF the railroad centers round a
runaway engine on the Stockton and
Darlington line.
The engine was observed by the
driver of another and more powerful
one. Seeing the fugitive speeding in
the direction Of Darlington, he UNI
coupled his W engine. crossed the
points and set out in pursuit on the
same line. 1t was a long chase. but
the pursuer, driven at top speed, grad
ually overhauled the runaway.
At last 1t came e enough for
the driver to crawl to the front Of his
engine and drop a stout chain owe the
tender hook of the other. He re-
turned to his foot-plate, shut off the
steam and screwed down his brake.
This steadied the n in front and so
retarded It's pace that the driver was
able now to creep from his own en-
CINE on to the runaway, put on the
brake and bring it to a ~standstfll al
most in the crowded Darlington sta
tion.-London Standard.

His Dream Of Buried Wealth.

For a week past Thomas Wade a
prosperous farmer in Tuckahoe dis.
trict, Henrico county, dreamed each
night OF a buried box bullying with
gold in ingots and ancient coins. The
spot where this treasure was secreted
was indicated u%nvaryingly In his
dreams by an old stump. which he
recognized as being on his farm.
Yesterday, with the assistance of
Constable l. H. Henley, he went to
the place indicated In his dream, and
after digging for, several hours his
shovel struck the traditional "hard
metallic substance"
Believing his dream of wealth re.
allied Wade tainted from emotion,
but the constable nursed him back
to consciousness and then the box
was unearthed and examined. It con
tanned three big copper cents Of an.
cient date and four fishhooks.

ITCHING HUMOR ON BOY
Disease Spread All Over Body
Cured in 4 Days BY Cuticura.

"One day We noticed that our little
boy was all broken out with itching
sores. We first noticed it on his little
hands. His hands were not as bad
then, and we didn't think anything
serious would result. But the next day
we heard of the Cuticura Remedies
being so good for itching sores. BY
this time the disease had spread all
over his body, and his hands were
nothing but a solid mass of this itch
ing disease. ! purchased a box of CUT
cura Soap and one box Of Cuticura
Ointment, and that night l took the
Cuticura Soap and lukewarm waite
and washed him well. Then I dried
him and took the Cuticura Ointment
and anointed him with it. I did this
every evening and in four nights he
was entirely cured. Mrs. Frank Don

BEAUTY SPOTS ALONG LINES.
PhIox and Hydrangeas for Stations
Blue Grass for Right Of Way.

One OF the good things for which
people have to thank the railroads is
the progress they are making in beau
tifying their right of way.
1t is the practice of the Pennsyl-
vania, as Moody's Magazine points out,
to surround it's passenger stations with
little parks with terraces and grace
fully curving paths and roadways. To
care for these station parks Is part
of the duty of the maintenance OF way
department, just as it is to keep the
rails and ties in good order. Flowers
and shrubbery are planted in artistic
plots and gardeners keep them fresh
and flourisfing.
At a station on the Long Island rail-
road, which is a subsidiary of the
Pennsylvania, 600 trees and shrubs be-
sides beds OF phlox and hydrangeas
were set out this year. For another
station on the Long Island 425 shrubs
and II trees have been ordered of the
so-called p%erennials and evergreens.
In the open country, too, far from
towns, the Pennsylvania has adopted
the policy Of making it's right of way
pleasant to look at. Slopes of un-
slightly rock or dirt are transformed
into green terraces.
Henceforth the standard roadbe6,
when the tracks are in a cut, will in
clude the sodded slopes. Blue grass
used for sodding will prevent the
erosion which has given engineers SO
much trouble in times past. In help
ing to solve the drainage problem the
grass is eve more useful than it is
ornamental.

China is the land of paradox. It Is
an absolute, despotic monarchy, it is
also a very democratic country, with
it's self-made men, it's powerful public
opinion, and a states rights question
of it's own.
1t is n of the most corrupt of ma,
tons, declares Samuel Merwin in Sue.
cess; on the other hand, the standard
OF personal and commercial honesty is
probably higher in China than in an,
other country in the world.
Woman in China is made to serve:
her status is SO low that it would be
a ~discourtesy even to ask a man if he
has a daughter, yet the ablest ruler
China has had in many centuries is a
woman.
1t is a land where the women wear
socks and trousers, and the men wear
stockings and robes; where a man
shakes his own hand. not yours:
where white, nor black, is a sign of
mourning; where the compass points
south, not north; where books are
read backward, not forward; where
names and titles are put in reverse
order, as In our Observation-Disclosures
Roosevelt would be Roosevelt Theo-
dore in China, Uncle Sam would be
Sam Uncle: where fractions are writ
ten upside down, as So, not SIS:
where a bride walls bitterly at her
wedding, and a man laughs when he
tells you OF his mothers death.

MADE PROBLEM FOR ENGINEERS.
Puzziing Situation in Construction Of
IN Hudson River Tunnel.

1t Is seldom that a great engineering
; WORK involving untried problems of q
complicated and serious character has
Deen carried through so quietly as
was the final successful construction
OF the Hudso river tunnel, saws the
scientific American. One of the en-.
gineers has recently described some
. very puzzling situations which arose
IN with the various blow.
outs mat occurred from time to time.
one OF n most troublesome OF these
occurred while the tunnel was being
driven across the reef of rock which
was encountere near the Manhattan
shore. AS the tunnel reached the
easterly end of the reef the roof an.
preached so near to the head of the
river that the clay became practically
MUD. and caused a great deal of
trouble by entering the pockets of the
shield and preventing the men from
passing underneath the projecting
apron in front of the shield to drill
out the rock. In the endeavor to stiffen
the everything bed of clay scowload af-
ter scowload of material was dumped
into the river. In spite of the artif-
cial bed thus formed the clay was still
SO fluid that it could not be held back
by the air pressure.
1t was at this crisis that the re-
sourcefulness which is a distinguish
ing characteristic of every successful
engineer was brought into play. 1t
was decided to stiffen the clay by d.
fectlng sufficient heat against the ex-
posed material in front of the shield
to actually turn it into brick, and so
give 1t sufficient rigidity to stand up
in place. To this end a series of blow
out flames, fed by Two tanks of kero.
sene, were directed against the ex-
posed material, until it had been SO
thoroughly baked that it was able to
hold its position until the men had
drilled out the reef ready for blast
ing. The turning of the clay into brick
took about eight hours, and during this
streams of water we're directed
on the shield to prevent it from be-
ing injured by the fierce heat of the
blowpipes.
