Up a starf.h Ladder.

Fishermen say that star6shes are
gregarious; that you might find on the
bottom an acre covered 80 thick with
them that you couldn't walk without
stepping on them, but not find another
starfish for hundreds Of acres around.
This characteristic gregnriousness the
starfishes In captivity at the aquarium

you may see another curious thing
there-namely, green crabs climbing

green crab Is not one Of the swim

1t has to walk or climb, and SO on the

PASSENGER TRAINS COLLIDE
The Sioux City Passenger Crashed In

A bad accident happened at II
O'Clock Wednesday on the Milwau-
kee road a mile or so out of Sioux
City, where one passenger train
crashed into the rear Of another.
The Mitchell and Canton train
leave a short time apart on going out
of Sioux City. The Canton train took
it's departure and after a certain
length of time had elapsed the Mitch
ell train left the station. Going on
the supposition that the line was
clear when the Mitchell train rounded
a curve at Bruigher's Bridge Engin-
e Myers vas confronted with
another train occupying the track,
For some reason the Canton train
had not made the progress and was
moving slowly across the bridge. En-
gineer Myers could not stop his train
in time to avoid the collision that was
imminent. His engine crashed into
the ear of the sleeping car derailing
it with several coaches.
Engineer Myers and VanHousen
were both badly injured and so were
several passengers on the trains. The
sleeping car and two coaches on the
Canton train were badly smashed
up. No lives were lost as a result OF

PACIFIC COAST EXTENSION
Milwaukee Company Uses Water
Power to Generate Electricity In
Building Its Road.

Building Its Road.
Never before in the history of rail-
roads was a great building project
carried out SO quietly as the Pacific
coast extension of the st. Paul road.
In this great undertaking, which
means Sc much to the Pacific North
west, more than $500, 900, 900 is be-
ing expended with as little fuss as an
ordinary business enterprise which
would make in spending a few thous-
and dollars. The st. Paul road is not
coming into a country that needs the
aid Of the promoter or the land agent.
In timber alone there is almost a
competency for the new line, for
the st. Paul management has been
given assurance that not fewer than
$4,000 carloads will be given it the
first year after the work has been
completed.
One of the wonderful facts regard
ing the construction Of this new
trans-continental line, which will
stretch from Chicago and the Twin
Cities by the way Of Butte, Monta-
ma, to Seattle, and Tacoma, Wash
ington, is the thoroughness with
which it is being constructed. 1t is
not generally known, for example,
that over the 500 miles of mountain
stretches electricity is to be used as
the motive power, and the engines
will be 200-ton electric motors.
Down the sides Of the Bitter Root
mountains are pouring a sufficient
number of streams to furnish album
dant power for all of the electric
motors which the st. Paul will need
to handle its trains over the noun
tain division. These streams are to
be harnessed at the cost of millions.
The boldness of the conception and
the unobtrusive way in which the
work is being executed challenge adj
miration. Through the Businesses of
the Bitter Root range a tunnel
$3.50 feet long is being construct
ed by electrical power and through
it will be operated trains hauled by
motors. One end of this tunnel will
open in the state of Montana and
the other will land the traveller in
Idaho, and its grade will not exceed
.02 of l per cent.
In general the work on the west
end of the road between Butte and
Seattle is nearly finished on some
of the divisions, but the long tun-
nels and the heavy fills will take
some time to complete. Rails are
now laid in five different sections,
but the track is not continuous for
more than 100 miles. On the Seat
tle-Tacoma line the track has been
finished from Black River junction
to Summer, Wash. East of Seattle
the road is completed for a distance
Of seventy-fve miles. and work over
the Snoqualmie Pass of the Cascades
is being rapidly pushed. On one
division there at least sixty fills to
be made of an average depth of seven
ty feet, and the road between Black
river and the tunnel will cost prob
ably $4,000 a mile.
Through the st. Paul Pass, in the
Bitter Root mountains, work is fur
Their along; the grading is completed
and the bridges are built. In Seattle
the terminal work is scarcely be-
gun. In view of the fact, however,
that the greater part of the extension
has been during a time of financial
depression, the work in general is
a marvel in the annals of railway

MAKING Caricstures.

The way in which some artists can
distort features without making them
unrecognizable is certainly very re-
markable. Thomas Mast possessed
this faculty to an extraordinary de-
gree. and he had very peculiar way
of adding new faces TO his mental
photograph gallery. When fresh
subject would arise IN politics. for III

When he took his departure be would

sketch on a card and would usual!
find that his memory was deficient as
TO some detail. He would then return.
ostensibly for the cane, and another
look at the victim would enable him
10 perfect his sketch. After that he
had the man forever. When Joe KEEP

Gail Hamnron was right when she
said that II there were never to be
any railways on this continent IL
would have been an impertinence Tor
Columbus to have discovered 1t. only
by the railways could its magnificent
distances be bridged. Equally correct
was Charles Carroll of Carrollton, the
last survivor Of the signers Of the Dec
laration of Independence, when, on
throwing up the first shovelful or
earth for the first railway Of the Unit
ed States which was intended to carry
passengers and freight, the Baltimore
and Ohio, he exclaime q Il consider
this event second only 10 that OF the
adoption of the Declaration Of indie
pendence, If second even to that"
That was in 1898 But England was
far ahead of us in railway building in
the beginning. Even Russia got bet
ter start than we did. At the outset
we imported not only our locomotives
and cars, bat also the rails on whlch
they were run and the men to run
them. However, John Stevens, Peter
