ter have repeatedly disclaimed
large measure of responsibility on
this score for the heavy loss of lives,
they have manifested a Willingness to
cooperate with the rail users upon
the problem, and adoption of revised
specifications has emerged from the
agitation. New clauses have been in
serted in the regular form of rail con-
tracts, covering such points as the
manufacturers have hitherto refused
to cOncede. AS outlined in The Iron
Trade Review, these include an en-
tirely new stareInent regarding
shrinkage a new clause covering the
drop test and a new clsuse covering
finishing, particularly in respect to
tightening. In regard to the very
important point as to discard to be
cut from the steel ingot before the
rolling of the rail and, if necessary,
from the rail itself rolled from the
top of the ingot, it is provided that
9 per cent crop shall be taken on
standard rails selling at the present
base price of SIS per ton. A sliding
scale adds 20 cents for each 1 per
cent increase of discard over the 9
per cent basis, which the rail user
may stipulate in his contract These
alterations are expected to make the
rail of more uniform structure and to
render it better able to Withstand the

$4,000 INCREASE
In business of Union Pacific Road at
Junction Citv

Junction City. Kan, Jan. 10.-George
w. Mills, the agent for the Union Pa
cifc, has just completed his annual
statement of the business which has
been transacted by the company
through his office during the year 1907,
and the result shows {. remarkably
healthy increase over hat of tie pre-
ceding year. The to-al business trans
acted for the past year was $685., ,491. So.
Of this amount a little over $4,000 was
for tickets and the balance for freight.
The total business transacted for 1907
is in excess of the business of 1906 by
So, ,810.O6.
The fact that the local business has
increased to the amount of the figures
stated, in spite of the recent financial
depression, is the best evidence that the
city is experiencing steady and
healthy growth. With the coming of
the Union Pacific shops looming up in
the foreground there seems to be no
reason why Junction City should not
look into the future with the utmost
confidence.

A MISTAKE. SAYS WAGGENERl
Passes Mailed to Nebraska Commits

Atchison, Kan, Jan. 10.-The send

P. Waggener said today. This is his
explanation:
1.-THE law of Kansas requires passes
to be issued to members of the board
of railroad commissioners and their
attorneys, together with all other ofn-
GERS and employees of the board. When
the names of such members were fur
nished in my absence in the south, the

Lincoln over the telephone and told 1t
of the mistake, and requested it to re-
turn the passes. It said it would do
so. That is all there is to it. and the

New Specifications Made in Bessemer
Rails

In the announcement of the new
specifications of standard Bessemer
steel rails agreed to by the rail-mak-
ers of the United States and Canada,
there is to be found the result of an
effort to more thoroughly safeguard
railway travel. The public mind of
late has been engrossed with much
comment and discussion following a
record of heavy casualties in railway
operation, and the popular explana-
tion for these disasters, assigned by
the railroads, has been to lay the

A Problem In Numbers.

No one is known to have succeeded
in finding two integral numbers such
that the sum Of their cubes would pro-
duce the cube Of a whole number. The
cubes of the first ten numbers give the
following series: 1-S-27-64-125-216-343-
512-729-1, 200. This series may be pro-
longed indefinitely. The problem would
then be to find two members Of the
series such that their sum is just equal
to another member. Adding 125 and
PIG, we get 341, which is certainly
pretty close to 343. Again, adding PIG
and 512, we obtain 72S which IS with
in a single unit Of 729, another member
of the series. Another example Of be-
ing very close, but not exact, Is that
729 plus 1000 gives 1.729 which Is but
O single unit more than 1,72S, the cube
Of II. 1t will thus be seen that the
first twelve cubes yield two cases
where the approximation is but unit
out of the way. AS the possible cubes
are infinite in number, it may seem
worth while to prosecute the search

NATURE CURES

Medicine Helps, of Course, but Faith Is
Powerful Factor.
There's a truth at the basis Of all
this discussion Of disease and its cure
which, despite the fact that it has been
apparent for generations, Is still too lit
tie understood by people in general.
In fact, appearances would lead to the
belief that it is not appreciated by all
physicians. It is the truth that not
the medicine, but nature, cures the i'll.
The most that medicine can do Is to
place the patient In condition most
favorable for the work Of nature.
Here comes in the value Of this ele-
ment Of faith. It is the best possible
help to nature-the firm belief that
you'll get well. 1t may well take the
place Of many drugs. It may in in
stances displace the need Of the physi-
clan. Even the surgeon can do no
more. He simply cuts away debris,
puts the body in the best trim he
knows how, adjusts merely mechan-
lcal breaks or displacementssand waits
for nature to do the rest The physi-
clan who pours in an inordinate amount
Of drugs thinks he is assisting nature.
AS a matter Of fact, he Is sometimes
impeding her. The best physicians, In
all except extreme cases, use few med
icines, and those as mild as possible

BASEBALL UMPIRES.

Kicking on Their Decisions Is as Old
as the Game.
Much has been said and written
about the habit that ball players have,
and apparently cannot break them
selves Of entirely, Of disputing deci-
sions Of the umpire. The practice dates
back for many years. AS far back as
1860 in an account Of game between
the famous Atlantics Of Brooklyn and
the Excelsiors there appeared the fol-
lowing:
eve hope to see the boys play of dis
putting over the decision Of umpires en-
tirely done away with"
Many years have passed since that
was written, and the players still dis
pute what in some quarters it is ar
gued should be the sacred decisions Of
the judges of play. Nowadays the best
umpires in the game make allowance
for the state of mind a player is in
while engaged in close contest.
The following extract is from a New
York paper printed in 1867:
"Kelly says that Peck's dummy has
created quite an excitement on Ann
street Dressed in full baseball rig.

MEPHISTO'S RING.
A Jewel That Bears Deadly Reputa-
ton In Spain.

A Jewel That Bears Deadly Reputa-
tion In Spain.
1t seems strange to read in these
days Of a ring which is believed to
have an evil influence over its owner
and which is known as "MephistO's
ring"
Yet such a ring exists and until re-
cent years was in possession of the
Spanish royal family. The ring is set
with a very large emerald, in the CEN
ter of which is inserted ruby.
1t is first heard of in the sixteenth
century, since when the kings who
owned it have suffered disasters unlim-
tied, while the whole country has grad
ually sunk from it's former eminent po-
sition
When the late Hispano-American
war broke out the ring was presented
to church The sacred building short
ly after was destroyed by fire.
The next resting place of the ring
was a museum, which was twice
struck by lightning while holding the
Ill omened jewel.
The fatal ring has now, it is said,
been packed in a strong box and Sc
curely buried. 1t remains to be seen
whether this will finally put an end
to it's "mystic" power. - Pearson's

AN AFRICAN RESCUE.
Saved From a Great Army of Ravenous
Driver Ants.

Saved From a Great Army of Ravenous
Driver Ants.
In her "West African Studies" Miss
Kingsley tells this story about the ia
nous "driver" ants: II was in little
village, and out Of a hut came the
owner and his family and all the
household parasites pellmell, leaving
the drivers in possession, but the
mother and father Of the family, when
they recovered from this unwonted
burst Of activity, showed such lively
concern and such unmistakable signs
Of anguish at having left something
behind them in the hut that thought
it must be the baby. In him far cor
ner for floorv shrieked the distracted
parents, and into that hut charged.
"Too true! There in the corner lay
the poor little thing, a mere inert
black mass, with hundreds of cruel
drivers already swarming upon it. To
seize it and give it to the distracted
mother was, as the reporter would say,
the work Of an instant She gave a
cry of joy and dropped 1T instantly
into a water barrel, where her hus-
band held it down with hoe, chuc-

FOUGHT UNDER WATER.
Last of the Spanish Fleet at the Bat
tie of Manila Bay.

Last of the Spanish Fleet at the Bat
tie of Manila Bay.
What was it like, that battle Of Ma
nila Bay, do you ask?
The thunders of heaven would have
been lost in its din. 1t was fierce and
fast, like the rolling of all the drums
in the world or like bolts Of heavy sail
cloth torn into shreds by the wind.
What a picture it would make-that
battle, the last of the Spanish fleet, the
Don Antonio de Ulloa. She fought,
sinking a foot a minute! Gun after
gun went under, and when the last
onset was made only her bow gun re-
NAMED It's crew, waist deep in water,
fought as though victory was crown
ing them. It was theirs to fire the last
gun upon that eventful day, and we
cheered them as they sank.
These are the things men will write
about, but memory alone can paint a
picture so terrible that the moon, that
old night watch of the universe, hid
behind friendly vapors that she might
not see the embers of war as they
glared through the portfolios and spon-
sons of half sunken ships, while ever
and anon exploding magazines would
tear the waters, and flames of yellow
and red 1aunt above all that was left
of Spain's wreckage.

open air, beasts and sunlight, and espe-
cially blessed be this COW; Of her we
sing. Hail, Pauline; number 4S,426-if

of the world! Think of giving 1914
pounds of milk in a single day and also
at a high average Of fat!
I think I could turn and live with ami
mails, they are SO placid and self
contained.
I stand and look at them long and long.
They do not sweat and whine about their
condition.
They do not lie awake in the dark and
weep for their sins.
They do not make me sick discussing 6
their duty to God.
Not one is dissatisfied, not one Is de-
mented with the mania of owning
things.
Not one kneels to another nor to his kind
that lived thousands of years ago.
Not one is respectable or unhappy over
the whole earth.
Would the pen Of Homer were our
own, for we have no taste to celebrate
the feats of admirals and presidents,

fain do Justice to the COW, for she by
her own unaided might can support
