Railways in the West are preparing
to build immense snowsheds of con-
crete this summer, wherever there is
any possibility of a repetition of the
recent disastrous snowslides on lines
in the West, when trains were swept
from their tracks, killing scores of
passengers said Henry Gruber, an en-
gineer of the Northern Pacific Railway,
according to the Washington Post.
THE Northern Pacific has many dan
gerous passes in the Cascade and
Rocky mountains, where snowslides
are a constant menace in winter to
the passenger traffic. There are many
similar danger spots along the line of
the Canadian Pacific. At most of these
places the railways have long wooden
snowsheds, but these have not proved
effective in preventing accidents. In
many cases avalanches and immense
snowslides have swept these structures
completely away, though they were
built of the most massive timbers that
could be obtained.
The roads have learned that wooden
structures won't do, SO this summer
all these snowsheds are to be replaced
with great concrete structures, which
WIN be built so strong and enduring
that even a cyclone would not be able
to bulge them. People in the East
who have never seen one of the snow
storms of the Rocky mountains have
no idea of the immense mass of snow
that covers everything, and they can
not conceive of the violence of an av,
alanche."

Saved old Lady,s Hair.

My mother used to have a very bad
humor on her head which the doctors
called an eczema, and for 1t had two
different doctors. Her head was very
sore and her hair nearly all fell out
in spite of what they both did One
day her niece came in and they were
speaking of how her hair was falling
out and the doctors did it no good.
She says, Aunt, why doat you try
Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Oint-
ment?' Mother did and they helped
her. In six months time the itching,
burning and scaling OF her head was
over and her hair began growing. To
day she feels much in debt to Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment for the fine
head of hair she has for an old lady
of seventy-four
My own case was an eczema in my
feet. AS soon as the cold weather
came my feet would itch and burn and
then they would crack open and bleed.
Then / thought l would fee to my
mothers friends. Cuticura Soap and
Cuticura Ointment l did for four or
i've winters, and now my feet are as
smooth as any ones. Ellsworth Dun

ORIGIN OF METEoR1c DUST.
nombardment of Shooting Stars
Never Ending shower.

Bombardment of Shooting Stars-A
Never Ending Shower.
Meteoric dust particles are infinitely
finer than grains of sand. They have
an interesting origin. Meteors or shoot
ing stars have been bombarding the
world from the beginning at rate
estimated at many thousands an hour,
of which, however, an average of only
FIVE or six are visible to the naked
eye in that time.
Owing to our protecting envelope of
air, few of these missiles reach us. In
weight meteors vary from a few
ounces to many pounds. Occasionally
one is of sufficient dimensions to sur
vive the passage of sc to 100 miles
through am atmosphere increasing in
density as the earth is approached.
The speed at which they enter the
atmosphere, calculated at not less than
thirty-five miles second, generates
such intense heat by friction that the
iron, of which the meteor principally
consists is Immediately reduced to an
incandescent vapor. which Is the lu-
minous train so frequently seen in the
heavens on clear night. The vapor
rapidly cools and condenses in the
form of these minute particles, which
assume the spherical form as does shot
during its fall from the top of the
tower
Finally the little spheres are scat
tered by the winds and currents in the
upper air and gradually descend in
their millions as an invisible, never
ending shower. The perfect condition
in which these meteors are found is
due to the presence of certain non-eor-
rosive elements. foT by analysis to
be present in the metal of meteors
which have come to earth.-Chicago

TOO MUCH SMALLPOX.
A Public Scandal That Pest Should
Be so Prevalent.

A Public Scandal That Pest Should
Be so Prevalent.
The prevalence of smallpox In this
country has been for some time the
subject of critical comment on the part
of physicians, and medical publica-
lions have devoted a great deal of
space to its discussion. The number
of cases of smallpox reported to the
surgeon general of the public health
and marine hospital service during
1908 by the local and State health off
GERS of the various States was 35,174
In Minnesota 1901 cases occurred, Civ
ing a case rate per 100000 population
of 1897. In Kansas there were 3,45S
cases, with a case rate per 100000
Of 2,096, and Montana had 7S2 cases
and case rate per 100000 popula-
tion of 2,339.
The record is by no means accurate,
owing to the difficulty in obtaining pre-
else information. Competent authori-
ties such as John w. Trask, of the
United States public health and ma
rine hospital service, estimate that in
1908 there were probably more than
10000 cases of smallpox.
Smallpox was eradicated from the
German army by systematic vaccina-
ton 1t may be said. and with a con-
siderable degree Of truth, that means
possible in an army are not available
in an ordinary community. But small
pox has been eradicated, to all lntents
and purposes, from some Of our States.
Perhaps the most convincing argument
in recent times in favor of vaccination
has been supplied in the Philippines.
The director of health in the Philip
pines, in his annual report for the ifs
cal year 1907, says:
fDuring the year there has bean un-
questionably less smallpox in the Phil
ippines than has been the case for a
great many years previous. In the
Provinces of Cavite, Batangas, Cebu,
Bataan, La Union, Rial and La La
guna. where heretofore there have been
more than 5000 deaths annually from
this one cause alone, it is most salts
factory to report that since the COM
pletion of the vaccination in the afore-
said provinces, more than a year ago,
not single death from smallpox has
been reported"
