feathers in a house bring bad luck to

Gossip Of RaiIwaymen

confined solely to clubmen and literary
fellows. as some people fondly believe.
for I have seen instances Of 1t in some
of the most uncultured.
Il particularly recall one man who
was the quickest witted shovel digger
ever knew, and 1 have had consider
able experience with these gentlemen
in the course of my engineering career.
He was before a judge for some
petty offense, and had all the marks Of
laboring man, but he had learned
that his honor had a weakness for
sailors and was ready ever to condone
their faults.
"'what is your nameY asked the
judge.

What is your occupation?
g. I am sailor, your honor"
"A saiIor?' said the judge in q sur
prised tone.
Yes. sir: sailor

sea in your life. Now, tell me the
truth he added in a severe tone.

One of the heaviest items OF expense
in the operation and maintenance of
trains and track to a railroad with
mountain divisions is the wear and tear
on the track and on the fanges Of the
wheels of locomotives. This question
long has troubled railroad managers,
and was considered seriously by ]. II.
Young, general superintendent Of the
northern district of the Southern Pa
cific, with the result that he has in
vented device for the protection Of
both the wheels and the rails.
Young began first TO experiment with
his invention when he was on the Den
yer and Rio Grande railroad, but has
perfected his method since. and now
every locomotive between Sacramento
and Sparks and over the Siskiyou and
the Tehachapi mountains is furnished
with his patent. 1t is designated a
flange lubricator. and the president Of
the Pennsylvania and those OF other
lines with mountain divisions have
written to E. E. Calvin. vice president
and general manager of the Southern
Pacific, for information on the subject.
Young's invention consists of small
galvanized iron cup. soldered to a base
that contains a needle valve for regu-
lating the flow of oil from the cup to
the fange. This device, simple as il
may SeSils Will save the southern IA
cific many thousands of dollars a year
and soon will come into general use on
all the railroads in the country.
Southern Pacific officials announce
that work on the electricizing Of the
suburban lines in Alameda and to Four

work has been concluded, including the

is likely that within one year Alameda
will have the best electric lines in the
state.
On January 1 the Great Northern
power plant, which will furnish power
