To Give up Coal as Fuel

In the course of report to his gov ernment. J. L. Nunn. British consu. at Vera Cruz, Mexico. says: Formerl, the Mexican railroads consumed iron, 120,000 to 10000 tons of patent fuel drawn from Cardiff and district. bu. during the latter half of 1908 the. converted 50 per cent. of their en zines to oil burners and so satisfac. tory and economical has the result been that it is only a matter of the erection of the necessary storag. tanks for the use of coal as fuel t,, be given up altogether.

LEAVES MINDS IN A WHIRL
Strange Effect That a Wreck Has on Even the Most Experienced
 RaiIroaders.

A wreck sometimes upsets the most irOn-nerved. Once the wreckmaster, on his arrival. noticed a bareheaded man in overalls, covered with coal dust and blood. sitting beside his en. zine with tears running down his face. He recognized him as the en gineer who had been hauled out few minutes before from under the mass of twisted, battered steel, that once had been locomotive. Singularly enough, beyond few cuts and bruises he was unhurt He was crying be cause he could not find his cap that he had bought new that day and begged the wreck-master to help him hunt for it.
 A passenger conductor of train that was derailed and had plunged down an embankment crawled out of the confusion and rendered cool and efficient help during the half hour be. fore the wreck-train arrived. A little later the wreck-master chanced to look around and saw the conductor standing beside him holding match box to his ear and shaking it. Pres. ently he put it back in his pocket, but took it out again in a moment and repeated his action.
 Whats the matter with you?" asked the wreck-master.
 My watch has stopped. can't get it to going, and l don't know what time it is" answered the conductor, still listening to his matchsafe.
 The wreckmaster took the conduc. tor by the shoulders and shook him roughly. Then he came to."-Thad. deus s. Dayton, in Harper's Weekly

previous QlSdSleT occurred, says the Kansas City Times. And the list of beliefs runs on almost without end.
 Life spent in the engine cab tends to develop the abnormal and imagina- tive in a man. A constant tension of the nervous system enforced by rigid attention to duty. prolonged absence of speech made necessary by the deafening roar of steam and grind ing of brakes, the endless monotony of the track unwinding like a pair of ribbons broken now and then by sharp curve and around which may turk an unforeseen peril; all this counts in mans mental training.
 The number 13 is the most ancient of railroad superstitions. Trainmen often refuse to take out a train of 13 cars. But the thirteenth day of the month holds no terror for them un- less connected with another 13; strangely enough Friday, the thir- teenth, is the same as any other day. But to take out engine 513 on the thirteenth of the month is suicidal
 Some men bear the terrible record that brands them as hoodoos. They may be good. jolly fellows, and rail- roaders will cheerfully meet them anywhere except on a train or on an engine. Here their past records prove them lightning conductors of disaster. The most widely known of these un- fortunates of superstition is an engin- ger on the Chicago & Alton. MT.

 Perhaps the most widely known tan gible hoodoo west of the Mississippi river is an engine. Every few months a headline says:
 No. S47 Kills Another"
 This engine belongs to the Wabash and more than 9 men have been killed either in it's cab or in coaches which it pulled mechanic in the repair shop told me that in repairs and damage suits it had cost the com pany enough to buy two engines of like make, and he said it earnestly and had computed the cost with effort.

The scheme failed and now the man killer" as its homicidal nickname stands. runs regularly be. tween Moberly and Kansas City.
