USING CONCRETE
TELEGRAPH POLES
Pennsylvania R. R. Finds
Them Much More Service
able Than Wooden Ones

~ aantinuance Of the declared policy OF
tbe Pennsylvania Railroad system to pro-
vide against timber scarcity, the lines
west Of Pittsburg have just completed and
placed in experimental service line OF con-
crete telegraph poles through New Brigh-
ton. Pa. Its construction followed a series
Of elaborate experiments which have been
conducted during the past two years.
owing TO the fact that wooden poles are
constantly becoming more expensive and
more difficult to obtain the Pennsylvania,
IN 1906. began to test the value OF concrete
as a substitute for wood. Fifty-three REIN
forced concrete poles were set up in the
line along the Pittsburg. Fort Wayne and
Chicago railway. near Naples, Ind. A year
later they were giving entire satisfaction
and showed no evidences Of decay.
According to experiments made so far
Il Is thought that a concrete telegraph
pole win last for many generations. there
by doing away with the freqeunt changes
necessary with wooden poles. Much im-
poriance Is also attached TO the increased
strength OF the new poles, which hold the
strain Of the line, even on curves, with
out any braces
The poles at New Brighton are OF grace
ful proportions. being about 30 feet long.

6 inches at the top. Their general appear

Of the uniformity in size. shape and color.

WHEN YOU WEEP.
The Way That Tears Act Upon tn
Human Organism.

The Way That Tears Act Upon tho
Human Organism.
Professor Wnynbaum, NJ D., of
Paris publishes some queer facts re-
gardmg the nature and purpose Of
tears. coming to the conclusion that
tears act upon the human organism
"like chloroform. ether or alcohol"
when a human being gives way to
sorrow" says Dr. Waynbaum, "the
blood pressure I'm the brain decreases.
The tear helps in this process, which
benumbs the brain for the time being,
causing passiveness Of the soul al
most approaching Indifference.
"Tears are blood, changing color by.
their passage through the lachrymal
glands. One can drown his sorrow In
tears as one can benumb his senses
by the use Of alcohol or drugs. When
a person cries the facial muscles CON
tract and the appearance Of the face
changes. which action facilitates the
white blood letting, driving the blood
particles into the lachrymal gland,
from which they issue in the shape OF
tears.
"Children whose nervous system is
particularly tender derive great ben
eft from crying occasionally. The act
Of crying relieves their brains. The
same may be said with respect to wo-
men,"
The professor likewise explains why
laughter sometimes produces tears.
but the explanation is too technical
for reproduction.
