The prediction that the RAILROADS

method Of propulsion as a matter OF
economy. safety, convenience and ne

this statement: THE railroads will
have to spend approximately s5000.-

such an extent that no new trackage

was reached after 4 careful review by
Mr.. Sager of what has been done or

NATURE AS A FAkER.
Sometimes Deceives Even the Trained
Eye Of the Scientist.

On the so-called Table Mounds Of
Iowa are numerous impressions Of
what look exactly like cloven feet. 1t
is not surprising that superstitious
people should attribute them to the
devil, taking his walks abroad, though
as a matter Of fact, they are not foot
prints of any kind whatsoever, but
merely weather-worn impressions left
by a species of mollusk-like animal
known to science as pentamerus.
To the Smithsonian institution not
long ago somebody sent from the Bad
Lands Of Nebraska what purported to
be fossil ham. 1t did In very truth
look like ham, and, to render the
verisimilitude Complete, the bone was
actually sticking out at one end Of It.
Nevertheless, an investigation showed
that the alleged bone was In reality

agglomeration OF stony stun. II,
One day, quite recently, a young
man walked into the Nationaft museum
at Washington and presented to the
apthropologist in charge a. petrified
foot. 1t was received with many
thanks, though recognized at q glance
as a water-worp fragment Of rock
which had accidentally assumed .

The old man sat outside the Cauli-

road. He was fond of conversation.
but the pedestrian who had stopped to
drink mug of ale beneath the shade
of the doors was not happy in his
choice OF subjects.
Conversation languished; the travel

mug refilled. He nodded courteously
to his companion and drank.
You're another Job Brown" said
the old man, irritably, that's wot you
are; another Job. Brown. I've seen
your kind afore."
He shifted farther along the seat,
and, taking up his long clay pipe from
the table, struck match and smoked
the few whiffs which remained.
"Wot l said just now about you be-

the brew. IF Job 'ad been like you
he'd ha' been better man."
The philanthropist bowed.

slowly, filing his pipe.
