WORK OF THE RAILROADS.
They Knit the North and South To-
qether After the War.

The southern railroads, more than
brotherhood. knitted the north and
south together after the war, accord
ing to Leslie's Weekly. The rail
roads gave prosperity to the south by
encouraging immigration and bringing
in people to help do the upbuilding
Memphis 20 years ago had popula-
ton of $4,000. To-day it has 100000.
The railroads did it.
A few years ago hundreds of places
in Louisiana, like Crowley, for exam
pie, were only prairie land. The South
ern Pacific built station at Crowley.
and to-day that place boasts 1000 per-
sons. Other railroads did the same
thing for a hundred other thriving
places in the southern states. The
Southern railroad went into the waste
places of the south and caused towns
to spring up. The Seaboard Air line
went into country of blasted hopes
and built up new industries and with
them new courage.
To region of penury the Atlantic
Coast line brought plenty-by putting
cash into circulation where no cash
had been before. The Southern rail
road gave the exact service necessary
for the healthy development of the
states through which it runs. 1t not
only created new industries, but itself
became the chief customer for the
products of the new mills.

Police Dogs a Success.

The value of the trained dogs which
the Northwestern railroad company
of England has recently supplied to
their policemen patroling the Hull
docks was illustrated early on Satur
day morning when three shopbreakers
were arrested through the instrument
tally of one of these animals.
A policeman saw a man running
away from refreshment room, and
the runaway failing to stop when called
upon the policeman released the dog
from the leash. The animal pounced
on the man, threw him and held him
prisoner until the constable came up
Two other men were arrested in the
shop and the three later in the day
were committed to the quarter sessions
for trial.
The dogs are of Airedale breed and
have been trained after the manner of
those at Client.

ROBINS NEST on ENGINE.
Birds Select Queer Home, But Have
Stuck to It.

D., L. & W.'engine No. 941 makes
short trips from Gladstone to Summit,
N. j., and chiefly late at night or early
in the morning. SO that she is laid up
in rural roundhouse in Gladstone
during the day. For convenience the
engineer and fireman who run her
have erected scaffolding around her
tender to enable them to carry more
coal. In the scaffolding at the rear
corner a pair of robins have built
their nest and ride on the trips from
Gladstone to Summit and back in Sc
curity if not in peace
They appeared there in July first,
about a moth after mating season
began, and proceeded at once with
the building of their nest, working
all day until the engine drew out
about five O'Clock to make it's evening
trip to Summit. Then they flew up
in tree over the engine house, and
seemed to lament their lost labor. But
the next morning the engine was in its
place, and the birds began to build
again, and SO 1t went on for several
days, when the nest was completed
and on successive days eggs appeared
there, and on July Is the female be-
took herself to it with the obvious in
tention of rearing a brood. On that
night she accompanied the engine to
Summit and the next morning as well,
sitting tight on her nest at the water
ing station and apparently unafraid
on the turntable which reverses the
engine at the end of its run. There she
has remained ever since. The male
bird flies up in the oak when the en-
CINE is away, and on its return goes
to the nest and feeds his mate. The
theory is that the birds were driven
from some partly established home
early in the season and that their Sc
lection of a nesting place finally was
made without the customary discrim
ination.-New York Press.

BAFFLED BY SAND
GERMAN ENGINEERS HAVE HARD
PROBLEM.
Immense Drifts Seemingly Beyond
Control Overwheim Railroad in
Afriea-May Force construc-
ton Of Huge Steel Tunnel.

The Germans are in dilemma over
the railroad they are building in their
colony of Southwest Africa to connect
Luderitz bay on the Atlantic with Beth
AMEN. more than 100 miles inland
They have not yet discovered how to
circumvent the moving sand dunes
that have covered the track many feet
deep only about Is miles from the
coast
Moving dunes are a common desert
phenomenon. They are found in the
Colorado desert, in the Sahara and in
the Cobb wastes of Asia. Their action
is like the waves of the sea- The sand
piles up into long high ridges, grad
ually topples over on the leeward side
and thus the whole sand wave slowly
moves along and is soon replaced by
those that are following behind it.
The moving sand hills near Luderitz
bay extend over an area only about
five miles wide. The problem before
the Germans is how to extend the
track across this narrow belt and keep
it in working order. These long ridges
Of sand are formed and moved by per-
sistent southwest winds during half
the year, and the railroad business
will be paralyZed unless some means
is found of overcoming them.
Several ways have been suggested
for meeting the difficulty. Months were
spent in building high walls of sand
bags and stone so as to break the line
of advance of these sand hills in the
hope that way might be kept clear
for the roadbed. The hope was in vain.
The advancing hills, 80 to so feet in
height, are not retarded for moment
by such puny distractions. They
simply move up to the opposing wall,
shower sand upon it from their tops,
bury it out of sight and move over the
other side to pursue their way.
1t has been proposed to excavate
the sand that has filled one of the
narrow valleys extending across the
belt, build an unbreakable roof over
this depression and thus maintain a
| permanent roadway. Objections have
been raised to this plan and it has
| not yet been tested.
Another scheme is to use the SIX
months when there is little or no wind
| to fertilize the land crossed by the
dunes with manure from the native
| cattle kraals and plant all sorts OF
| desert shrubs and sow the seeds OF
desert grasses in the hope to fix the
sandy surface SO completely that
dunes cannot form on it. The success
of this plan is regarded as highly prob
lematical and it will probably be left as
last resort if all other measures fail
| Another plan which is meeting Witt
much favor among engineers is tt
| construct across the belt large stee
tunnel Trains would enter the tun
mel just before they reach the dune
region and emerge from it after pass
| ing all the distractions The SAND
| night pile up above the tunnel as il
pleases. but the running of trains
| would not be affected.
