To Replace Steam.

That the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company will "loosen up" and
spend five million dollars in damn
ing the Juniata river, cutting away
mountain, and building a power
plant for the electrification of the
system at a point near Lewistown,
is partly confirmed by practical
railroad men who admit that with
in the next six years such thing
as steam locomotive will not BE-
seen on the Pennsylvania railro ID
i'll this state. Tests were made in
the vicinity of Wilkes. Barre & few
days ago with the Lehigh Valleys
Strang gas electric motor car, whi III
is propelled by electricity and gaso-
line, the electric motor being the
forward part of the car. The rest
of the car is used for seating of
passengers, while the rear end con
tains an observation platform. It
is claimed that this car in its test
on the Lehigh Valley road averag-
ed fifty-seven miles an hour, and
that even this speed can be ex
ceeded.

Red Cross Christmas Stamp and its
Meaning.

What does the Red Cross Christ
mas stamp mean
1t means that you are asked to
spend one cent more on every
Christmas present that you
send. 1t means that this tiny frac-
ton of money, multiplied by thou
sands, will yield a noble sum for
maintenance of great work-open
air day camps for the cure of tub
erculosis.
1t means that you extend the cir
Gle of your friendship until it en-
braces the friendless, and that your
good will reach beyond the few
whom you love to the many whom
you are hidden to love.
1t means that the spirit of Christ
mas stirs in the heart of Christen-
dom, and that you res pond to this
spirit by linking your Christmas
gifts with the cause of the poor and
the i'll, with the work Of wisdom
and of mercy.

author of Return, THE Crap

Mrs. Cooke has evolved a plot as
original as it is fantastic, 1t deals
with the doings of young profess

fluid which, when injected into The

animal, enables that BODY to float

and the quarantine OF injected herds
and premises until danger shall
have disappeared or, second, in the
method now being practiced in
Pennsylvania, consisting of the de-
s,ruction of infected herds and the
complete eradication, with the
greatest attainable promptness, of
all known centers of infection.
The method of control by quaran-
tine has been practiced successfully
i'll number of instances. On the
other hand, attempts to control
foot and mouth disease by this
method have often failed. It is
exceedingly difficult to quarantine
effectually against Aphthous fever,
and to attempt to do 50 is to take
great and unwarranted risks. 1t
is necessary that such a quarantine
shall be exceedingly rigid, that it
shall be faithfully observed to the
minutest particular, and that it
shall be of long duration. Other.
wise, it is not effective, or sufficient
to prevent the spread of disease.
AS loug as premises are under quar-
antine on account of foot and
mouth disease there can be no feel
ing of security in the neighborhood,
or even i'll distant places, on ac-
count of the remarkable facility !
with which this disease spreads.
For these reasons, and as a result
of considerable successful exper-
fence i'll the use of the stamping |
out" method for the control of foot |
and mouth disease, there has devel-
oped, in recent years, a strong
sentiment in favor of the applica-
tion of the second method when !
the distribution of the disease is
such as to denote that it may be |
controlled and eradi.
Gated by this means. The stamp
ing-out" method was applied with |
complete success and at small cost, !
in proportion to the value of the
work, in New England in 1eo2-3. |
If foot and mouth disease has
been permitted TO become very
prevalent in a community. then it |
is not possible to eradicate it by !
the stamping out method, and the |
very long, troublesome and, in !
many respects. painful and oppres-
sive method of controlling the dis
case by quarantine must be practic-
ed. This means that the work
would drag on and quarantine re-
would have to be contin- !
ued for years. The successful ap-
plication of the stamping out meth
cd, even at very large cost, is by |
far to be preferred.
If the diseased herds are prompt
ly slaughtered and the contaminat-
ed premises disinfected, quarantine
regulations may be of relatively |
short duration. On the other hand,
if the infected herds are held under
quarantine for recovery, the pre-
misses they occupy are dangerous
and may be source from which |
the disease may spread for as long
as six months, or perhaps longer,
after the recovery Of the diseased |
