Thousands of Messages Held Up

Temporary repairs were started imme-
diately after fire had died out, to restore
emergency communication with the prin-
cipal English cities. America and the
continent. but the damage to the instru-
ments and wires was SO great that some
days will elapse before work on a normal
scale can be resumed.
Branch offices about the town have
thousands or messages for places in this
country and on the continent and others
are still accommodating. The only com
mumcat.on with the outer world for three
hours was by telephone to Paris. Tele-
phone lines are in great demand tonight
by the newspapers.

WHY COWS STOOD IN WATER
Artistic Limitations Responsible for
Characteristic Attitude of the
Humble Bovine.

In north of England town there
was shiftless man who would never
accept gifts outright. although he was
always depending on charity, says al
Priddy in his book, Through the
MIL" relates the Youths Companion
He painted landscapes, and my aunt,
when beneyolently inclined, would
hire him to decorate our walls with
rural scenes, highly colored in glaring
tints, as if nature had turned color
blind. There were cows in every
scene, and Aunt Mile noticed that all
the COWS were up to their knees in
water. Not one stood on the vivid
green hills.
"Jorvey." she remarked TO the old
man, why do you always put the cows
in the water?"
Its this way, Mrs. Brindin," the old
artist responded. you see. ma'am,

Railroad Saves Beautiful Trees

Some of the so-called soulless cor porations are not so soulless after all. At least that opinion is held by resi- dents of Sharpsville and in favor of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad
 The Baltimore & Ohio company went to the trouble to purchase ex- tra land for tracks and station in order to allow two beautiful speci- mems of silver leaf maple trees. each nearly 75 feet high, to keep on grow 'ng on the right of way when by chopping them down many hundreds of dollars could have been saved
 When the engineers ran their trades into the town the plans called or the tracks to be laid over the round now occupied by the pair of stately trees Then some of the big officials inspected the route and dis covered the trees. Incidentally a few overs of the trees in Sharpsvile went 0 the magnates with Railroad man. pare that tree" The plea was heed ad and the engineers had to run new ines and make plans for curved "ack in order that the trees might ,tand rndisturbed.-Sha Core

 Warming to his subject, Dr Brough arred his points 70 hi; hearers forcibly by the use of boauti- ful quotati5ns and selections from the Worlds History, in which his ad- dress abounded. In synopsis his address Dr. Brough stated that the indef nite shines fo1@h ill the finite, first because man is tile in- terpretor of nature, second religi n is the interpreter of man; thirl Christ anity is The interpreter of F. ligion; fourth, God is the interpreter of religion. He said the good ileas of all religious teach ngs-of Con : fucius, of Mohammedism, of Brahar- ism--were all embodied i'll the teach. inss of God and Jesus Christ the Savior.
 Again Dr. Trough urged the work of Christions to change from the pew religion to the do religion. The work of sitting in a pew before the paste , is not what Christianity needs t is the do religion that will help hu manity and the world. He said Amor ica leads in everything else, wnv should she not lead .n Christianity It was up to the Baracas and the church people to do this and relieve *he evil conditions of the country today.

STILL ARE BEHIND AMERICA
Though They Have Made improve nents, English Lines Do Not Yet
 Rank With Ours.

The past year has been a remark. able one in the annals of our railways for new developments in engines Nearly all our big railway companies have been building new types of en. zines and perfecting the old types.
 The chief feature is that cons.dera- ble strides have been made in the adoption of superheating. which in the case Of several of the great lines now appears to have passed the experi- mental stage.
 Among the most powerful engines that are now being built are the 4E4-2 express passenger locomotives Of the Northeastern railway, the Great Centrals 2-8-0 locomotives for min. eral traffic, and the London and North. western 4-4-0 express passenger en- zines, the first of which was called "Coronation.''
 The most notable improvement thai mas been made in passenger coaches are the new flfty-six bogie coaches on the Great Central which are made of vanished teak with the match board ing style of sides instead of the usual panelling, the numerals being in raised metals. Mention should also be made of the new begie observation car built by the London and Northwestern rail- way to run between Llandudno and the Blaenau Festiniog.
 Nearly every American train has its observation car with it's wide windows, and it is strange that there are not more of this type on English railways. Another feature of American railways the typewriter and the handy library of reference books and novels-is still lacking on most of our English rail- ways.-Manchester Guardian.
