Blazing forests represent worse waste
of the country's timber resources than
reckless numbering, because there is not
even a small economic benefit, but on the
contrary a heavy economic loss, when
ever a timbered tract is swept by flames.
The number of forest fires would be very
the disposition of the slashings. Now
nothing is done with them but to leave W.
them on the ground to dry up and be-
come inflammable as finder, speaking
destruction whenever they are ignited, as
they often and almost inevitably are. 1t
those stories of the immense posi-
bilities in the distillation of ethyl alec
hol from wood are true, why don't the
patentees hurry up and get their pro
cess into operation? Then the slashings
might become an industrial factor that
would in many ways increase the com
fort as we'll as reduce the cost of living.
With cheap alcohol there would be a
revolution in small power machinery as
well as in heating, lighting and cooking.
The gasoline manufacturers, might not
like it. 1t would compete with gas to a
certain extent. But it would be boon
to the public.

British engineers are now preparing
plans for carferry service from Dover to
Calais, and between other ports on the
English channel from which passengers
and freight are transferred from Eng
land to France, and vice versa, by
steamer, thus entailing double handling
of freight with corresponding addition to
cost of freighting There is no reason
at all for fear that such ferry service
will not prove successful. The carferries
of the Great Lakes have longer courses
and rougher water TO contend with at
times, and they have been remarkably
successful. However, the plan of the
British engineers embraces the transfer
of passenger trains, which will bring into
consideration new problems. Carferries
can be made large and fast, but they
must have ample width, and width gen
orally increases the tendency to roll.
Therefore the Gualms of the channel
passage would remain for passengers de-
spite their occupation of vehicles for
transit on land.

New Orleans has made bid for the

the honor of commemorating the open

at the same speed and apply the brakes in
the same manner, and you can't stop IN
the same distance. Engineers would like 10
stop at each station at precisely the same
spot that they did the day before. Do
they ever do it? No, son, they don't, be-
cause il can't be done.
THE stopping of a train depends on con-
ditions just as | said before Engineers
who have travelled over particular road
for years can't do ii. Sometimes the COndi-
tions wary 10 such an extent that the train
is run past the station Everybody has
seen that done. And then the engineer
says things under his breath and backs up
his train to let the passengers on and TO
take on baggage. Sonny. engineers never
know within yards where their trains will
stop.
Freight trains are more uncertain than
passengers This Is so because IL doesn't
matter as much. An application of ten
pounds of air may produce no brsking at
all, due II the wear of the system, and, on
the other hand. fifteen pounds might put
OH more brake than the engineer wanted.
he may throw on a small quantity OF air
and. without expecting il, the emergency
brakes get into action result When
the brakes are already on the engineer
may release them little, and by so dOing
release them entirely, so that the train
leaps forward. So, you See, you can't al
ways tell what the brakes are going to do.
You wouldn't suppose that the tenn
perature of the rails would make any dr.
ference about brakes, would you? It's
fact. A rule of thumb is that :rain will
brake twice as quickly IN the winter as in
the summer The wheels stick 70 the rails
more when they cold The scientific
folk tell you that the cohesion is greater
And another thing: The oil on the rail
when it is warm is more slippery. All the
