A well known local auto enthusiast,

excess of it.

he cannot command a view of the
road ahead the autoist must stop no,

autumn and white in winter.

THE PoIsoNs IN COAL GAS
Many Arc Known, But There Is Ono
Constituent That Is a Puzzle
to Scientists.

The poisonous properties Of coal gas
are generally attributed to Its content
OF carbonic oxide. especially as no
other substance of known poisonous
properties has been found in it. and
patients suffering from coal gas poison.
ing show the symptoms associated
with the inhalation of carbonic oxide.
including the peculiar bright red color
of the blood. From experiments made
by DR.. Won Vahlen, at Halle. it seems
probable that we must revise this
view, for on making experiments with
frogs. animals particularly resistant to
carbonfc oxide, it was found that they
were poisoned far more rapidly by coal
gas than by the corresponding amount
of the oxide. Other experiments with
dogs showed that the poisonous effect
of coal gas was twice or three times
as great as that OF the carbonic oxide
it contained. Evidently there is some
other constituent of coal gas which is
poisonous, though what it is cannot
yet be stated. Merely removing the
carbonic oxide from coal gas will not
suffice to render it poisonous

An Awkward Passenger.

nasty experience the other day. Part
of the luggage under his charge from
Aberdeen to Manchester was Hima-
layan bear, en- route for Bostock's
jungle in tho Lancashire city. Yearn.
ing for company en- route, Bruin
broke out of his cage. The guard
hastily summoned the animals keep
err, who by firing blank cartridges in
the face of the bear managed to make
it retire to it's cage, where it was Sc
cured. At Forfar carpenters were
employed to box up Bruin in his spe-
cial compartment. On the way to
Manchester, however. the animal
again broke down the barricade and
on arrival there was found to be
again loose. After some difficulty he
was safely housed in an iron cage
and taken to his own home.

After thorough test of two new
electric locomotives for service on
the New York terminal division, the
Pennsylvania has ordered the West
inghouse people to proceed with the
construction of so of them. The new
engines will be built in the form of
a double locomotive or two in one.
Each machine will have a motor with
1000 horsepower capacity, or total
in the double machine of 1000 horse
power. The new machines will be
equal to three of the steam locomo-
tives of the largest freight type and

The legislation Of the thirteenth

abounds in bills concerning the unem'

several laws were passed against
"idlers"-most Of them such because
they could get nothing to do. In the

during Henry's reign more than To.ooo

and 81 miles to the eastward. Five
minutes is the time required II the
wreck happens in the day time. If the
accident happens at night the use OF
the telephone gets every member OF
the crew out of bed, in which case it
requires about Is minutes to get the
crew together and the engine hitched
onto the seven-car train. The wreck
ing aggregation located at Utica is typ
zeal of the wrecking outfits of the rail-
road.
When two trains run into each 9TH
er and mess things up and hurt some
body, the wrecking crews first bust
ness is to care for the wounded. In
Utica the Central has the names Of
four physicians on it's list and when
the wrecking crew hears that some
one is hurt one Of these doctors is no.
titled. If the wreck is a large one,
not only are all four doctors taken
obtained. The wrecKing train is also
supplied with first aid to the injured
outfits.
The wrecking train consists of seven
cars, the steam crane, the idler, over
which the boom hangs, with cabin in
the other end in which ride the crane
engineer and the rigger, dining and
sleeping car combined, in which the
crew eats and sleeps, tool car, a
blocking car, which carries the blocks
used in blocking up cars, and two cars
loaded with trucks which may be
placed under the cars when wheels or
axles have been twisted.
An ordinary wrecking crew consists
Of the wrecking master, crane engi-
neer, rigger and eight wreckers. The
assistant train master accompanies the
crew to learn how the wreck happened
and to attend to other matters. When
the wreck is large one the size of
the crew is increased.
The steam crane constantly keeps
steam up ready for business and the
fire is never drawn without the pre-
mission of the superintendent. When
the wrecking crew learns of wreck
the first available engine is hooked to
the seven cars and no time is wasted
In arriving at the scene Of action.
The first thing the steam crane does
is to hoist the debris off the track.
Just as soon as one of the tracks has
been opened the wrecking master re-
ports to the superintendent and gives
him an estimate of the length of time
1t will require to open the other tracks.
The wrecking master is in full COM
pand of the wreck. One of the wreck
ers acts as clerk and takes note of
every bit of damage done, for it will
be his business to make detailed re-
port of what happened in the mixup.
If the nature of the wreck indicates
the cause, he will report that, also.
The crane has lift rating of 60
tons, which is sufficient to hoist
freight car bodily upon track. When
it tackles passenger car it can lift
one end at time. Whenever the crew
goes to the electrified West Shore rail-
road the members wear rubber boots
and rubber gloves as extra precau-
tions, although the current is sup
posed to be turned off from the third
rail after wreck has happened.
