penn.ylv.n,. or...hopper Story

THE Grasshopper Level on the
Pennsylvania railroad is within four
miles of Lancaster. and derived its
name from this circumstance: The
grasshoppers one season were so nu-
merous as to destroy the crops, and
1t is said the fence rails were worn
smooth by the insects crossing from
one side to the other in searching for
green pastures. While that may seem
incredible. an examination of the
grasshopper's hind legs will corrobor-
ate the probability OF the story's cor
rectness. During that season the pests
were 80 thick on the rails in the vicin-
ity mentioned that the engines with
their trains were stalled. so that to
make any progress it became neces-
sary to have men precede the trains
and pour sand on the tracks This
suggested carrying the sand in boxes.
and next putting the boxes astride Of
the locomotive. and then adding rods
which were placed under the control
of engineers and firemen.

Presiding Elder G. A. Lenhon Of the
Macoos district, says the Macon Herald.
tells this, story Of the late Bishop w.
w. Duncan Of the Methodist Episcopal
church:
When Bishop Duncan FIRST went to
TNxas to preside at . state conferences
hAre hAs1as suffering severely with
M fever. He was of . nervous dis
Nsition and referred to his malady
With such frequency that 1t became .
bit tiresome to the preachers. A
brother got up to make . report ana
in the course Of 1t he used the term
grass widow"
Grass widow" cried the bishop.
I've heard that expression used half
q dozen times since I've been here. I
never heard 1t before. VIII you please
tell me, sir, what grass widow Isl"
The offending brother looked as calm
and rs serious NJ an undertaken dur
ing the storm Of laughter which the
bishops speech had developed. When
things quieted down he said. very
gently:
"A grass widow. bishop. is woman
whose husband has died with hay
fever!"

The railroad plays its part In all
the wide activities OF western life,
writes Ray Stannard Baker in the
Century. You will find 1t vital pow
err in politics, often sinister. often cor
ruptins. always commanding. Here
is an especially bright newspaper
which supports with sober logic the
pretensions Of the road. Delve deep,
and you will find the money of the
road working in the editorial till.
Here Is a struggling church; the road
has not only furnished the land for
the new building. but its money has
purchased the cabinet organ and the
big Bible. This street carnival glitters
more brightly because the road has
been amiable: this water power has
been developed because the road took
part of the stock; this library has
more books because the first vice
president has been interested. And
so. mingling good and evil. the road
pursues its commanding purposes

FOLLOWING THE ENGLISH IDEA
First Notable Example Of Regard ~
the Appearance Of Things.

In this country the FIRST notable OK
ample OF regard for the appearance OF
things along the line was furnished by
a great railway company in the middle
states Here the English idea was
followed. In keeping with the excep-
tionally thorough organization OF the
company's service, the manifest aim
in these improvements was to have
everything along the line present what
along the seaboard is known as
"shipshape" appearance-that il. to
bear a neat, trim. and well'groomed
look, as on ship, where the decks
are kept Immediately holystoned. the
woodwork freshly scraped or painted.
the brasses polished. the ropes coiled.
cts. Such conditions on shipboard
are marks of discipline, good repair,
and general efficiency. So on rail-
way. where in similar ways attention
is given to good appearance. public
confidence In safe and competent
management is promoted. Therefore.
Just as the good mechanic takes care
to make his joint swell fitting and his
lines good, 80 on this model railway
the incest attention was given to
thoroughly well.Ordered appearance OF
all the work about and near the tracks.
For instance. the crossties are square
ly cut at an exactly uniform distance
from the rails, on the roadbed the bal
last is bordered by clean and regular
lines, the yards are kept scrupulously
clean and clear of all rubbish. and
about the stations and other buildings
the turf is nicely maintained. In this
case. however. until recently little at
tention has ever been given to really
artistic character; the way-stations,
as a rule, are not architectural: in the
way of adornment some sparse flower
beds represent good intention rather
than achievement.
Two diverse methods are exempli-
fed in our forms of railway embellish-
ment. One Is governed by the prin-
ciple that ornament should be devel-
oped from the character of the thing
ornamented; that while general prin-
ciples may be laid down for guidance.
their application must be modified ac-
cording to the circumstances attend
ing each particular problem. What
would be admirable in one place might
prove wholly out of keeping. and cor
respondingly bad. in another. The
second method has found a wider &C.
ceptance. This proceeds with the as
sumption that ornament consists in
something pretty. something decora-
tive: that applying this prettiness to
things makes them beautiful.
The former method was adopted for
the first railway line in the United
States where comprehensive attempt
at artistic treatment was made. The
results have been so beautiful. so
wholly admirable. and withal SO truly
economical In maintenance, that 1t
seems remarkable that the example
has not been more widely followed
