FOR FUTURE RAILROAD TIES
termine Which Wood viii Give
Most Satisfaction.

There are a vast number Of seed.
lings planted for the purpose of ulti.
mately being made into railroad ties
that have never been tried for the pur-
pose to which 1t Is intended to put
these trees when they reach maturity,
but which might prove even superior
for that purpose to the trees that have
already been selected. These seed
lings are being grown for the purpose
of providing railroads with a variety
of trees so that experiments can be
made in the future to determine which
particular tree is actually the best for
furnishing the all important rail on the
company's way.
1t will be 40 years or so before the
trees that now are in a Seeding state
will have attained a growth sufficient
to justify the forestry department in
cutting them down for railroad ties.
The plan Is to nurse the seedlings
along at the forestry reservation until
they are sufficiently big to permit
transportation. They will then be
taken up and replanted In some of the
many vacant lands owned by the rail.
roads.
The seedlings will be planted six
feet apart and will then have to take
their chance of surviving. The foster.
ing care of the forester can not follow
them further. AS they will be plant
ed on ground belonging to the railroad
on which no one will have a right to
trespass, it is probable that most of
the trees will reach maturity and will
eventually fulfill their destiny, becom.

The railroad companies possess i'm.

FORTY YEARS ON LOCOMOTIVE
LIoyd Clarke, Recently Dead, HAD
Reeord Any RaiiroaSer Might
BE Proud OF.

LLOYD Clarke, SO years old, > Pres
ident's engineer" for years a memoer
of the Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
sineers. died in the Memorial hospital
at Long Branch, n. j. of kidney as
Z ease after a long illness. A trip TO
/ Europe last summer failed 70 restore
his health. He entered the railroad
service at nine years of age as a
water boy on the Erie, and lost MS
hearing at 10 while a fireman on the
! Pacific railroad IN a cloudburst IN the
Sierras. About this time he met
Thomas A. Edison, then a railroad
! ~teIegrapher, and also deaf, and they
| shared the same blanket on at least
one occasion.
Before he attained his majority
Clarke was promoted to a locomotive
runner through an oversight OF the
general superintendent after he had
been fireman on the first double-head-
er that ever crossed the Rockies. One
of his first assignments as an engineer
was to carry the Boston board Of
trade over the Truckee division in a
Pullman special. He made a friend
also Of Coils P. Huntington, president
of the road, who on many occasions
shared his footboard. When hired as
an engineer by John Taylor Johnson,
late president of the Jersey Central
railroad, over many older hands, he
ran the first train from Lcng Branch
to New York, with President Grant on
board, June %, 1875. In later life he
was sem out or new engines desig-
mated for speed to show to those who
came after him the possibilities of
each machine.
But it was not in speed that En-
gineer Clarke took most pride, but in
his mastery OF the Westinghouse air
brake. During his last days it was
computed that he had been a passen-
ger engineer 40 years, had run more
than 10000 900 miles over the open
road and had killed a passenger.
He only had n wreck, a collision at
Sea Grit in 1903. There were few pas
sengers on the train. Clarke saved
himself by jumping at the last mo-
ment, but received a scar on the head
from flying wreckage. Investigation
showed that he was not to blame.

THE SENATE AND WOMAN.
Upper House Set Against Giving Her
the Ballot.

the Ballot.
This is true talk. Some days ago
I made a pact with the ladies of this
land of liberty to search out senate
sentiment touching woman and tho
ballot. I did my best. Also in the
more important particular TO which
my hunting was addressed, I failed.
1t was part OF my plan, the part Of
consequence, indeed, to identify to
woman what statesmen of our upper
house were most o~bdurately set
against granting her the ballot, and all
to the end that she might surely know
where and how to plant the javelins.
or rather hatpins, Of her argument to
secure q best result
It was IN that element or fdentInca-
ton my efforts went ashore. Not one
OF those togaed, hoary ~recTeants,
while bold enough to voice an atti-
tude inimical to woman, owned what
honest courage was needed to let me
use his name.
In n sense, perhaps, this skulking

Basil explained in a few brief
words.
"Oh, I know youI name quite well,

hearer perceived the eagerness which
suddenly animated the words. And,

Basil hurried downstairs, and was
assisted into a cab by the valet.
He was in a sort of dream while
the hanson rolled down st. James
street and into the mall. Nor did he
perceive anything Of the gorgeous
panorama of London's nucleus of pal
aces until the cab drove in under a
great archway, and the feet Of the
horses echoed upon the macadam OF
enclosed court yard, with a foun-
tain in the center, surrounded by an
immense quadrangle of buildings.
