The Recreation of Travel

A hard-working business
man on a two-hourtripby a
finely-equipped train, said:
at is a positive pleasure to

feel a sense of freedom and
mental holiday, which ! can
find nowhere else. For the
time being | am like a boy
out of school, and there is
an added zeSt to the short
recess from business cares
in the comfortable sur
roundings and the, con-
stantly changing scenes"
In the comfort and ease
that the best type of rail-
road cars furnish today a
great many people find that
a railroad trip is a distinct
recreation. 1t differs from
life in a hotel only in the
abSenceof the palm garden
and the orchestra, but has
the added charm of pleas
ant motion with the con-
sta9tly changing panorama
of natural scenery.
1t is a fact that "change
and rest" is needful at
times and one in search of
it will find the first sense
Of it on a well-appointed
railroad train. The
"change" is instantaneous
and continuous, the crest"
is provided in the comforts
and convenienceS of a linn
tied train.
Nothing has done so
much in later years to raise
the standard of railroad
travel from a dread to a
pleasure as the high grade
of equipment, with CORE
spending gappointmentSand
the safeguarding of paSsen-
gers by every means that
skill and capital can devise.
From the time when the
Pennsylvania Railroad in
troduced the first limited
train in 1881 to the present
day progress in the line of
making travelattractivean and
popular has never faltered,
Ask the traveller of forty
years ago to compare the
present methods with those
of the past and you will
appreciate how fortunate
it is to live and enjoy travel
in these days.

ARMY STYLES NEW TO HER
conscientious Laundress Meant Well,
but Her First Efforts Utterly
Failed to Please.

At the army post new laundry had
been installed and the management
was specially anxious to please and
advised that mending would be in
cluded in the work.
The major was equally willing to be
pleased and sent, among other things,
suit of duck as first installment.
The army officers washable coats
have buttons, but these are not sewed
on. Instead, small eyelets are worked
in the coat and the shanks of the regu-
lation buttons are pushed through
these holes, being held in place by
brass rings on the other side. Before
being laundered these buttons and
rings are removed, to be put in place
again after the wash. When the
majors coat was returned from the
new laundry the eyelets had been
carfully sewed up and bright brass
button had been sewed firmly over
each. Also the seams of the majors
riding breeches, which open from just
above the knees to just below, to ad-
nit of adjustment over the knees, had
been sewed up so tightly that it took
the majors wife half a day to rip
them. The earnest and conscientious
laundress thereupon received a course
of special instruction pertaining to
the requirements of the U. S. A.

FINE LINEN 5000 YEARS OLD
Fruits of the Looms of Ancient Times
Have Defied the Passing of the
Centuries.

In one of the apartments at Univer
sity college, London, Professor Find
ers Petrie has placed on exhibition
some remarkably interesting antiqui-
ties unearthed at Tarkhan, Heliopolis
and Memphis under the auspices of
the British School of Archaeology in
Egypt.
The great cemetery Of Tarkhan,
which occupied a mile of desert 40
miles south of Cairo and which dates
from the earliest historic age until the
race of the pyramid builders, has
proved to be exceedingly prolific in
antiquities.
What has struck Professor Petrie is
the extraordinary preservation of the
woodwork and clothing unearthed from
these places of interment of long
ago.
A great sheet Of linen which is
placed on exhibition is as fresh and
as firm as when cut from the original
length-and it is some 5000 years old
So, likewise, with the woodwork
which, in but few instances, shows
signs of decay. Here are boxes that
serve their purpose as funeral caskets
built of planks Of acacia and shittim
wood, and as firm and secure as when
lowered into the bosom of the earth In
dim antiquity.

How Hot Is Lava?

To ascertain the temperature OF
lava as it is emitted from a volcano
has baffed many scientists. The
Roman academy has just published
the results of the investigations made
by Giovanni Platania during the erup
tion Of Etna last year.
The, eruption began September 1C
and the scientist was unable to ap
proach the mountain for ten days
when one crater was still in action
He camped as near as he could to
this crater, close to stream of lava
flowing about yard a second.
Using the new telescope pyro
meter" he got temperatures for the
surface Of the lava flow of all the
way from 1,040 to 1,420 degrees.
A second series of observations
taken at a distance of dozen feet
gave figures as high as 1900 degrees
The estimates are that the incan
descent lava, as it comes directly
from the crater, has a temperature
not less than 2,200 degrees.

Milk Saved the Auto.

A farmer named Richter, of Mill
wood, in Westchester county, N. Y,
sacrificed a load of milk the other
day to save a new touring car, in
which two women were riding, from
being destroyed by fire. The engine
of the car began to spit flames. Final
ly it took fire. The occupants then
abandoned it for fear the gasoline
tank might explode. Richter came
driving along with several cans OF
milk. With him was his eighteen
year-old son. He alighted from the
wagon, and seizing a ten-quart can
filled with milk threw the contents
over the flames. The floor Of the car
was afire and burning briskly. He
saw he would have to waste several
more cans of milk to save the auto
Come, hand me those cans quickly
he said to his son. He emptied them
over the auto as fast as he could. The
flames were checked, but not until
nearly one hundred and fifty quarts
of milk had been sacrificed. The
owner of the car asked him what the
milk was worth. Richter fixed his
loss at seven dollars, but the lady
gave him twenty-five dollars, saying
You deserve all this, if not more.
