reached its limit in growth with n
line of railroad. We may ak en-
Enthusiastically of inducing canning
factories and small manufacturers to
locate here, but these people are go
ing where there are railroads, as
transportation lines are a very neces-
sary adjunct to their business.
Would it not be we'll for the Com
mercial Club of Brookings to take up
this very important matter of rail
roads? First of all, Brookings needs
a north and south road, and We must
have it if the city is to grow and
prosper as it should. The territory
directly north and south of Brookings
is among the richest and most dense
Nv populated in the state, and it would
seem that if the matter was properly
placed before the railroads they would
be quick to see the opportunity. The
Commercial Club Of BYookings by %
operating with the Sioux Falls club
and business organizations in the 9th
er towns interested should be able to
at least bring the matter to the seri-
Gus attention of the different roads.
The survey and partly constructed
grade of the old Drookings and Sioux
Falls road could no doubt be utilized
for the new line. The Commercial
Club Of Brookings has done much for
the city in its short existence, but
We believe that it has its greatest OPP
portunity before it.
The Sioux Falls Press in the edi-
torial mentioned says in part: "This
is now the big problem that confronts
the Commercial club-to take these
things up with the railroad builders.
The richest part of South Dakota,
where the population is the most
dense. where crops are always GER
tain, and where live stock is grown
and fattened for the markets, is ask
ing for a better connection with Sioux
Falls. AS it is now it requires a day
and night TO reach territory not one
hundred and fifty miles away. One
hundred miles of road would make
that connection and the road thai
will build it will have fifteen miles
of rich territory on either side tC
draw from. In other words such {
line would pass through a section o
rich and productive country we'll set
tied and thirty miles in width Add
tional train service would make i
possible to reach other territory with
in a few hours time which now, 70,
lack of sufficient service, can not b.
reached during a days time. = y
Additional railroad building will
have to come. South Dakota is grow
ing and all her towns and cities ar
growing and Sioux Falls seems Ger
tain to double her population within
ready to offer inducements to build
ers of i%nterurban systems and the.
are the revenue getters which TAX
from the revenues of both passenge
and freight of the steam roads. !
should be manifest to the railroad
that these additional lines and other
must come and if the gaps are NO
filed by them the interurbans wi.
come along for the business"

A German medical journal draws at
tention to a possible factor In the
spread of infectious conditions of the
mouth, nose and pharynx that is insult
fciently recognized In many house
holds. II points out that common ia
BILE utensils, such as forks, spoons and
glasses, which come into contact with
the mouth. are usually washed all to-
gether, often with little care, and dried
on the same cloth. This gives great
opportunity for the distribution Of IN
fective agencies. For this reason par
dcular care should be exercised in fam
flies where any member may be SUI
fering from an infectious disease to
sterilize the table utensils used In boil
ing water. People who complain Of
catching cold" in many instances are
merely catching infection from little
understood and easily preventable
sources. The infectious germ is so
minute that the eye does not detect
its presence. It is necessary, there
fore, to keep up a constant effort for
the destruction of hurtful germs and
germ carriers by introducing as far
as possible the precautionary practices
of sanitary science into domestic use.

Tungsten and Its Uses.

The mineral tungsten the name
meaning heavy stone) has been known
for many years, but only comparative
ly recently has 1t become of economic
Importance. Its most important use,
according to the United States geolog-
zeal survey, and the one which makes
tungsten mining on an extensive scale
possible is an alloy for tool steel.
Lathes using tools made from tungsten
steel may be speeded up until the chips
leaving the tool are SO hot that they
turn blue, an operation which would
ruin the temper Of high carbon steel.
1t is stated that about Ave times as
much can be done with Iathes built
for such speed and work as can be
done by the same lathes with carbon
steel tools. From 16 to 20 per cent of
tungsten is ordinarily used In lathe
tools. The melting point Of tungsten
is exceedingly high-5,576 degrees h.
Tungsten also has an important use In
making incandescent electric lamps,
crucfbles for electric furnaces and va
rious other articles

strsnuth Of an Indian Beetle.

One day native servant brought me
A longicorn beetle which he was carry

carrying a stone weighing nearly half
pound. But how the feelers could
stand the strain (the beetle was carried
in this fashion for about forty yardsl

could not encompass cannot conceive
The length Of the beetle was "a inch

weighed ~ ounces, measured 81 by

shostlna win 4 Revolver.

Very few people, even accomplished
shots, know how a revolver ought to
be handled.
Troops are taught In aiming never
to look OF the weapon at all, but to
keep their eyes on the object to be
struck. In quick firing, and especially
in shooting from horseback, much bet
ter results are obtainable In this way.
A man throwing a stone does not
look at his hand; neither does billiard
player sight along his cue The same
rules apply to the use Of short weapons.
Men have been trained to shoot excel
lently at a mark when they could not
see their pistol sights at all.
Pieces Of pasteboard were fastened
Just in front of the cylinders, which
effectually prevented the men from
using their foresights and greatly in
creased the rapidity Of their fire.
Nearly any one can sight a pistol
correctly, the inaccuracy Of the aim
being due to the trembling Of the hands
before the trigger is pressed. By hid
ing the sight the temptation to hold
too long is removed and the first aim,
generally the most accurate, is pre-
served.-Pearson's
