TO MOVE DEPOT INTACT.
Officials Plan to Garry New Wisconsin
Central Station at Superior Two
Miles from Present Site.

/ SUPERIOR, Wis, Feb. 10.-[Spe-
cial. THE Wisconsin Central depot,
which was recently completed here at
cost of about $4,000, may be picked
up and moved bodily a distance of near
ly two miles, to the edge of the resi-
dence district OF Central park and be
used as the passenger station for both
the Central and the 500 roads. If
moved the 500 will probably move it.
Contractors have been consulted in re-
gard to the feasibility Of the matter and
have been asked to make an estimate
of what it would cost. They state that
the proposition is not an impossible one
and that it would be a great deal cheaper
to do this than to tear it down and move
it. The depot is a brick and stone
structure one story high To move it
it would have to be raised and put on
stringers and rollers. The walls would
be propped and bound together 50 that
they would not crack.

quently become fixed and the usual
method has been to tap the stopper with
a wooden block or the application of heat
to the neck, or a combination of both.
Results are poor in certain cases and
often result in the fracture of the neck.
The inverse process may be used to
advantage. In other words freeze the
stopper, thus causing contraction of
the stopper from the neck The bottles
which l used for experiment had failed
to open under the heating and tapping,
and were bad cases of fixed shoppers.
The bottles held sodium carbonate that
had formed sodium silicate, an excel
lent cement, and so were firmly fixed.
They were inverted in a mixture of
crushed ice and calcium chloride, taking
care that the freezing solution did not
touch the lips OF the bottles. 4
After standing twenty minutes each
stopper was removed without the slight
est exertion. This is the neatest and
safest way to remove shoppers from
brOmine bottles and other corrosive
