Smallest Grade in the World.
From the Washington Times.

Regarded by engineers as a marvel OF
construction is the Spokane, Portland and
Seattle railway. 423 miles, the most direct
line between Spokane and Portland, which
Will be completed January /, 1909.
The road, built Jointly by the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific systems, Is
the most expensive In America, the cost
of much of 1t ranging from $3.50, 600 to $780,
coo a mile.
Twenty-Five miles OF track remains to be
laid before Spokane and Pasco, and this
work Will be completed in two weeks. Be-
sides this, there are two bridges a mile
apart near Devils canyon. One of LOO
feet in length and 220 feet high, while the
other Is 1850 feet long and l60 feet above
the ground In the center.
The line will permit OF longer trains be-
ing hauled over it than on any other road
in the country. The most severe grade is
4-10 of / per cent, and between Cheney,
Spokane county, and Portland, the line is
down grade. There are no sharp curva-
lures, the greatest being three degrees,
and. as a result, one locomotive can pull
from Spokane to Portland as many cars
as It can start on level ground. This is
expected to set new records for heavy
loading.
The road has been built without regard
to expense, the purpose being TO make IL
permanent and safe. An idea of this may
be gained when it Is known that 20 miles
of line between Pasco and Kahlotus, south
OF here, cost $5,Oo0,0oS, or $4,000 O a mile,
while a mile OF road along the bluffs over
hanging Snake river involved an expendi-
ture OF $500 900. To survey and build this
part of the line, which follows the Column
bia river. men were suspended over the
cliffs with ropes; but while there were
many narrow escapes, not a life was lost.

Luncheon or Lunch.

FROM the INtW IOih TlCEulu,
Miss Ellen Terry tells US that Alfred
Tennyson taught her TO say luncheon
instead of lunch" The former Is in
fact. preferred by English writer's, not
only as a noun, but ever as a verb. Thus
Disraeli speaks of ladies 'luncheoning on
Perigord pie In America. however,
though luncheon is considered moro ele-
giant than lunch In describing the meal, 1t
is less rarely used, while the verb Ito
luncheon would sound like i~ntolerable
affection to most Of VS.. There is a story
that the question once came up I'm the
household of Mr.. William Dean Howeils.
He himself stood up for lunch, as noun.
and verb. Mrs. Howells declared for lun-
cheon. An appeal to the Century diction-
airy war made. {.

pruus by Local Application.

since Professor Leduc OF Nantes. read
his paper at the annual meeting of the
British Medical association In 1907, on
ionic medication, a great deal of work has
been lone on this subject In England. Pro-
fessor Leduc proved the efficacy of this
method of local application OF drugs by
a striking experiment. He soaked a pad
of lint in s%trychnine solution and strapped
It to the ear OF a rabbit. He then passed
a current through the wet pad and the
rabbits ear, with the consequence that a
rapidly fatal result occurred from strych-
nine poisoning. Ionic medication or cata-
phoresis has now been applied to the
treatment OF various conditions-skin af-
fections. warts, ringworm, sclatica n
rheumatism. The treatment of rodent ul-
Ger by zinc ions has been very successful.
Among the cases already reported may
be mentioned a case of rodent ulcer in the
University College hospital. which was
treated by zinc ionization In the follow
Ing manner: The ulcer, which was about
the size OF a t~hreepenny piece and Sit
pated on the chin of an elderly man, was
thoroughly treated with a solution of
sulphate OF zinc, then covered with lint
soaked In a similar solution and a posi-
tive zinc electrode applied TO the lint. A
moderate current was then passed
through the lint and ulcer for some ten
minutes, as a result OF which the malig-
nant ulcer rapidly healed. Copper ioniza-
ton has been tried with success in the
treatment of ringworm. S~alicylate of
sodium and iodine have been used in this
way for sciatica.

Live Without Water.

No one can travel the hills and plains
of southern California very long without
discovering hat rabbits. quails, sqirrels
and any number of reptiles and insects
live at great distances from any visible
water.

the lizard, the toad and some other rep
tiles can live without water, as also

The DYING Maori Race.

The Maoris OF New Zealand, who have
often been called the finest aboriginal
race in the world. are rapidly passing
away. The causes are described in a
book just published by the New Zealand
institute and written by Archdeacon
Walsh. The whole story may be summed
up In the statement that though Euro
pean civilization has brought to the ma
tives many advantages it really acts upon
them like an insidious poison and saps
the very essence of their life.
Several reasons are given for the belief
that when the whites first saw New Zea.
land the Maoris numbered several hun.
dred thousand. The latest census showed
that A, 721 of them were living.
The Marois were once a healthy, Wig
orous and prolific race. but the dying
remnant OF today is a people of lowered
physique and declining birth rate. Arch
deacon Walsh says that nothing can save
them. and that at he present death rate
a comparatively short time will witness
their extinction.

NO MEDICINE,

lint a Change OF Food Gave Relief.
Many persons are learning that
drugs are not the thing to rebuild
worn-out nerves, but proper food Is
required.
There is a certain element In the
cereals, wheat, barley, etc, which Is
grown there by nature for food to
brain and nerve tissue. This il tho
phosphate Of potash, of which Grape
Nuts food contains a large proportion.
In making this food all the food ele-
ments In the two cereals, wheat and
barley, are retained. That Is why so
many heretofore nervous and rundown
people find In Grape Nuts a true nerve
and brain food.
II can say that Grape-Nlts food has
done much for me as a nerve renewer,
writes a Wis. bride:

Huae Lens on Mountain Top.

The huge 2~,00o-pound lens for the Car
negie Solar observatory is at last on top
OF Mount Wilson after one of the most
tedious and nerve-racking tasks of the
kind ever undertaken. The first stage of
the undertaking, which was the feat of
TRANSPORTING the immense casting from a
little village near Paris, to Pasadena, was
concluded three years age. when the task
was turned over to an expert optician TO
ba ground and polished into a state of
perfection.
After three years OF incessant grinding
and polishing, which ended In August, the
finished lens was turned over to the chief
astronomer OF the observatory, and the
third and fnai stage OF the undertaking
was entered into. This was to lift the
dead weight OF q ton, which the touch of
a band might mar, to the height of a mile
up a steep, rough mountain side. MIN
gled with the anticipation which scien-
tidc men felt at the outset of the triumph
ant ascension was a feeling Of anxiety
lest the ponderous, yet delicate problem
should sam. There were innumerabta
chances that disaster would overtake the
expedition. III the lens had been broken
or cracked. or had the slightest accident
caused a flaw to appear upon its surface,
though microscopically minute. the UNI
dertaking would have been a failure.
Such a failure would not nave been meas
ured In dollars alone; indeed, the money
cost would be classed as trivial, compared
with the all-important element OF time. as

Quired to replace It.

From the Atlantic Monthly

From the Atlantic Monthly.
The birth rate in the United States
fn the days of its Anglo Saxon youth
was one of the highest In the world.
The best of authority races the be-
ginning OF its decline to the first APP
pearance, about 1850, OF immigration
on a large scale. Our great philosopher,
benjamin Franklin. estimated six chill
dren to a normal American family In
his day. The average at the present
time is slightly above two. For 1900
IL is calculated that there are only
about three-fourth as many children
to potential mothers I'm America as
there were 40 years ago. Were the
old rate OF the middle OF the century
sustained, there would be $4,000 mor
births yearly I'm the state of Massachu-
sets thar nov occur. In the course OF
q century the proportion of our entire
population consisting OF children under
the age OF 10 has fallen from one-third
TO one-quarter. This for the whole
United States Is equivalent to the loss
OF about 100000 children.

American. is to place 1t close to the body,
fitting it somewhat upward so as to get as
much or the sky in the picture as posi-
BILE, and swinging the body from side TO
side. The time and angle OF the swing
can be regulated with a little practice so
as to be fairly accurate. With the utmost
care. however, the element OF luck enters
into the work 10 a considerable degree, and
the game Is one of patience and persever-

a process for preserving milk by remov-

addition Of a small quantity OF ferrous
carbonate. The process is based on the
fact tina freshly precipitated ferrous ear

Il Climbs the Air.

The latest aerial flyer is the invention
of j. f.. Shearer. Of San Francisco. IL is
the result of several years of study, and
was suggested by witnessing a parachute
drop made by Captain Baldwin In that
city. The machine is constructed TO per-
form an operation just the reverse of a
parachute. AS Mr.. Shearer says, IF a
man at the end of a long rope attached to
a parachute could climb the rope fast
enough. he would, temporarily, ascend
while the parachute was dropping" The
parachute form OF propeller was adopted,
and In practice Is very simple. Vt Is prac-
ticaliy a case of threading water in the
air. except that the treading Is sufficiently
rapid and continuous as TO cause the ma
chine and it's operator to ascend.
