BURLINGTON U
All Through Trains to Be Electric
Lighted.

In the history Of American rall
reading no such extensive and costly
Improvements of coach lighting has
ever been attempted up TO this time
as that which will be made effective
by the Burlington Route the first of
June.
On that date all of its through
trains will be electric lighted from
locomotive headlight to observation
platform. The most efficient electric
lighting system yet devised has been
adapted, namely, the dynamo system.
With this system there is installed
in the baggage car of each train a
%high-power dynamo which supplies
the current for the entire train. Or
dinarily, when the dynamo car is de
tached, there is a distinct dimming
of the lights, but under the dynamo
system not only is enough current
generated 10 light the train when it
is in motion or standing still, but
enough surplus current is stored in
each individual car to brilliantly light
it for several hours without any dir
Get current from the dynamo. This
In itself is a big improvement over
other systems Of car lighting.
With this great Improvement, the
Burlington Route, which already is
u|nexcelled in its equipment, dining
car service, regularity with which its
trains run ION time" and complete
block signal equipment will have pas
senger service as nearly perfect in
all details as it is possible to make it.

Mrs. Stevenson's grandson. Austin
Strong. When Mr.. Strong was a little
chap Mr.. Stevenson liked to sit
propped up In bed to watch him at
play in the next And often 1t
happened that the bigger boy of the
two would make suggestions for the
make-believe games and insist that
they be carried on. too. One day Aus
tin had arranged some chairs in a row,
playing that they were ships, and he,
standing on the front was the cap
tain. For a long time he proudly
walked the deck of his vessel, en-
countered pirates and w%eathered all
kinds of storms until he felt the floor
positively heave under his feet. Mr..
stevenson looked on in perfect ST.
Hence, but complete absorption, no
doubt playing the whole thing much
the harder of the two. Finally Austin
got tired of his vessel, climbed off his
chair and began walking across the
room to some object which had at.
itracted his interest. This was too
much for his uncle. Still deep In the
game, Mr.. Stevenson rose in his sick
bed and shouted ~excitedly at the re-
calcitrant sea captain: Swim, d

the middle of the room he has a large
pool In which half a dozen frogs swim
all day, and in another corner of the
room he has a small tree planted in
earth brought in for that purpose.
Running between the pool and the
tree the boy has a miniature electric

age toy railroad. Friends of the boys
father who view the room are sur
