Remarkable Indian BRIDGE.

An interesting bridge, said to have
been built by Indians, is situated
about 200 miles east of Prince Rupert
B. c., near the proposed line of the
Grand Trunk railway.
1t is built of round poles, fastened
together with telegraph wire and
wooden pins, the floor being the only
part where nails are used to any ex-
tent, and no two joints are made
alike, but it seems to do the work
required of it, that is, as a means for
pack trains to cross Buckley river.
Looking at it from a distance, it
seems to be nothing but collection
Of poles and wire stuck together any
way, with no particular reason for lis
not falling; the floor is very uneven,
and the joints of the different mem
bers are made by tapping and binding
them with wire. But by looking at it
closely person can see that the
party who built it had a pretty good
idea of engineering, for the bridge is
an ingenious combination of cantilever
and suspension construction.-Engi
neering News.

Getting at the Date


The Erie Railroad Company has
been collecting data covering the
years of service of all the older en-
ployes. Sam Marquis has been con.
ductor on the Erie, running between
Niles and Lisbon, almost since there
has been railroad down that way.
An official of the Erie went to him
and asked when he first went to
work for the company. Oh, he said,
he couldn't remember. 1t was a long
time ago, and that was as definitely
as he could say.
But you must be able to tell ap-
proXimate1y,' insisted the official.
Isn't there some other date that you
can associate it with?''
Sam still shook his head. mo use
trying to remember" he said.
But the official was persistent.
There must have been some impor-
tant event that happened about that
time" he suggested. Wasn't it the
same year of the big wind or the
close of the war or Grants election or
something's
Sam thought minute. oh" he
said, Frightening up. III tell you

after Bill Larkin was married. l don't
know how long ago it was, but that
was when.

Mr.. Owens looked over his glasses

eyes.
I'm sorry to trouble We, sir" the
man began.
But you're hungry, and can't get
work." Mr.. Owens finished, promptly.
He studied the unshaven face of the
mendicant moment, then went on !:
We'll, my man, I've been in the same
boat myself and l know how sea-sick
it makes a fellow feel. Here you are,'
and quarter dropped into the grimy,
outstretched hand
That's all right. Cut all that out, -
Mr.. Owen interrupted, motioning the
man off, and before the beggar was
half through with his speech of graft
tude his benefactor was deep in an
other letter. The door had been
closed on the vagrant but moment,
however, when Mr.. Owen raised his
eyes and was vaguely conscious that
something which he had seen but a
moment before was missing. Sudden
~ he sprang from his chair, seized his
hat, and rushed precipitately from the
office.
Couldn't get work, Ell? Well, I'll
teach the hobo!" he muttered to him
self, but Wilkey's hearing was acute.
Mr.. Owens looked up and down the
thoroughfare and soon singled out his
man in the moving throng, and the
pursuit began. Down the street the
philanthropist sped like hound that
has caught the scent.
A driver on coal wagon stood up
and tried, from his elevated position,
to pick the man who was hunted. With
one accord men, women and children
stepped out of Owens path and
stopped at the side of the walk to fol-
low him with their eyes. At the cor
ner he collided with a young man who
was so daintily choosing his steps
across damp place in the walk that
he failed to observe the runner.
BEG pardon" exclaimed Mr.. Owens,
as he threw his arm round the fellow
long enough to steady him.
I'm surprised you've the grace to
apologize" answered the indignant
dandy. Pardon, indeed"

shout over his shoulder: Pardon was

New Motor Locomotive Tried,

A motor car operated by gasoline
and designed to supplant the new cleo
trio railroad motors has been given
trial by the Central railroad of New
Jersey and is reported to be a sue.

ing heavy train between Jersey
City and Lakewood has been pro.
nounced complete success, and it is
possible that this railroad, which has
been planning the installation of cleo
trio service, will adopt the newer
gasoline motor method.
The gasoline system consists of a
gas engine with a direct connected
generator, electric transmission and
control, direct electrical connection
between the generator and truck mo-
tors and a storage battery. The car
carries sufficient gasoline to take it
200 miles and consumes about six.

It was a raw, bleak morning in the
ern manager of the New Haven Male
able Company, scorned the comfort of
a closed car. Fresh air" was hobby
Of his, and pedestrianism was an
other. He imposed the walk between
his home and office, a distance of
some two miles, upon himself daily.
His bookkeeper, a slender, pale-faced
youth, was just in the act of re-
ferring to the thermometer as Mr..
Owens entered the office.
What? Cold as usual. Wilkey?
Not steam enough on?" laughed the
manager, shedding his overcoat and
throwing it carelessly over the railing
in front Of his desk. "Wilkey, tell you
what it is-if you'd walk down of
morning, you'd get up some steam OF
your own"
Mr.. Owens was man past the
prime of life. His accent marked him
as down easternrr,' but his manner
led one to believe he had lived long
In the west. He was tall, broad Shout
dered, simple, energetic, whole souled,
and, above all, sympathetic. He treat
ed the members of his office force with
cordial familiarity. He usually ad.
dressed Charley, the office boy, as my
son.
He had only just begun to attack
the batch of letters on his desk when
the office door opened and admitted
a gaunt, shabby individual, who looked
furtively around the room and quick
ly satisfied himself that Mr.. Owens

First Continental Railroad

California built her 6rst railroad
line in 1856, aud was as eager to
reach the Atlantic as the eastern
states were t. get to the Pacific.
There was a universal clamor for a
transcontinental railroad that should
unite the east md west, although not
such a long stretch of years before
the man who had proposed such a gil
gantic undertaking would have stood
an excellent chance of being clapped
into an asylum as dangerous luna
tic.
1t was on July 1, 1862, while the
whole nation was plunged in civil war
and all it's industries in a state of
paralysis, that congress incorporated
the Union Pacific railroad. The
building of this line toward the Pa
cific was looked upon then as one Of
the greatest undertakings the modern
world had witnessed.
Seven years later, when the Union
Pacific formed a junction with the
Central Pacific lils near Ogden, Utah,

For instance, the other day" con-

half-satirical suggestion, Il was start
ing from Boston for New Hampshire.
| hadn't secured a chair seat in ad-
vance, and, it being weekend,
couldn't get one at the North station.
So into the regular coach | went,
somewhat unresignedly. But there
proved to be plenty of room; in fact,
| had whole seat to myself most of
the way. There were all sorts and
conditions of people in the car, though
it seemed as if tired mothers with
groups of children and with cats IN
baskets, predominated; lucky for the
cats that they haven't come under the
ban which restricts dogs to the bag

think that those cats weren't wander
ing around desolate back alleys for
two or three long weeks
Tired mothers and children and
cats don't sound so wildly diverting,"
"Oh, but there was a comfortable
quota of Immediately gowned, yelled
and shirt-Waisted women like our
selves-just the ordinary modern type.
And there were confidential elderly
ladies, who fell into conversation with
their seat-mates and were the chum-
miest of acquaintance by the jour
ney's end. | liked the naturalness Of
it all. Of course, | devoutly hoped
that the big man in shirtsleeves and
with handkerchief tucked under his
chin would pass by my seat-and he

Naturally enough, the crowd in the

as rule it's not an obtrusive crowd

everyday observation car; | like the
perquisiteS of the parlor car-thOse
close wire screens at the windows,
the footstoOls, even those grOtesQue
white paper bags that the porter has
to sell for hat protectors.
After all, the point | am making is
that If it falls to your lot to travel by
the everyday observation car, as you
call it, you can make it diverting
enough to compensate for these crea-
ture comforts, welcome as they are
on warm day." said the first speaker,
luxuriously abandoning herself to the
depths of her chair. Zone of the
sights that went most to my heart"

vacation separation oftentimes which
makes it possible for people to keep

SLEEPING CARS TOO LONG
Excessive Weight Makes Them E&
traVagant and Costly Method of
Transportation.

The most extravagant a-.d costly
is the sleeping car train, which carries
two tons of dead weight for every
passenger moved. The great weight OF
passenger cars is due in no small
measure to the great length to which
these cars have grown in recent
years. The body of a modern sleep
en-" over seventy feet in length, sup.
ported on a truck at each end, may
be regarded structurally as {? bridge
carried on two end piers. And in the
case OF the car, as OF the bridge, the
bending stresses tend to break it in
two, and therefore the weight of ma
terial necessary to resist those stresses
increases in a much more rapid ratio
than the length. Moreover, the COR
centration of weight ON the two trucks
calls for heavy construction in the
trucks themselves.
1t has been proposed that q great
saving in weight would be effected by
reducing the length of the cars and
substituting lighter four-wheeled
trucks for the ponderous six-wheeled
trucks now in use. The roof constcuc-
ton could be considerably ligbtened
by abolishing the end platform and
substituting entrances at the center Of
the cars and Vestibuling the car bodies
directly against one another
But the greatest reduction in
weight if is thouoht would oo,,a cro,,,
the substitution of steel for wood and
the application to the design of the
cars OF those principles of steel con
struction which have rendered the
modern steel bridge such a marvel OF
Hgthtness in proportion to is strength
and the load it can carry. The weight
OF the present railroad cars is the re-
suit OF too much coach builders art
and too little of the bridge engineers.

The dull silence that hung over that
New England dinner table has been
lifted of late, says the Delineator. It
IS gone like the dew in the sunlight
OF the new social influences. The iso.

cause that drove men into the cities.
Now, by telephone and free mail de-
livery, all the warm world currents
are being carried to the country and
are vitalizing the rural community
into life that is rich and abundant
in the variety of its interests. A real
heart hunger has been answered.
