Electric Frejuhtvards.

One of the most difficult problems
In connection with railway electrif-
cation is the electric operation OF
switching yards for freight service.
Where the third rail system OF opera
ton is employed. it will be conceded.
probably, that operation of a freight
yard by electric power is out Of the
question. The work of yard men is
dangerous enough at the present
time: and If we we're to add to pres
ent dangers the necessity of keeping
clear OF a labyrinth of highly charged
third rails, extending all over the
labyrinth Of tracks, it may we'll be ex-
pected that the result in casualties
would shortly result in a public out
cry and consequent legislation COM
polling the abandonment of the sys-

as is now in use On some lines.
1T becomes possible to equip a
freightvard for electric operation by
a network of electric con-
duetors overhead. This has now been
done for the New Haven railway at
It's Harlem river terminal in the
part of New York city. This
terminal covers an area Of two hun
or three hundred acres. and it's

Railroad Cats Long Life.

Tiger the remarkable cat of the
Great Eastern Railway company's
freight shed at Peterborough. Eng
land, which is reputed to be about
tw~enty-seven years old. is peacefully
ending a life crowded with rat ex-
termination and other happy Incl
dents. Few cats live much beyond
fourteen or fifteen years. During her
long life Tiger has killed thousands
Of rats. She is a light tabby. and
came to the sheds for refuge during
a fire at a timber yard close by over
twenty-six years 90, having been
driven from her home in a timber
stack by the flames. Tiger has al
ways been wild. and has obtained her
own food. consisting almost entirely
OF rats, OF which she would kill as
many as fourteen and fifteen in one
pight. Her custom was to bring all
the rats alive to one Of the men en-
ployed in the shreds, and would not
eat one until she received permission.

invading army is to cut railroad lines
In the enemy's country, and this is
exactly what was done by a countless
army of caterpillars that invaded the
Long Island railroads right Of way,
between Amagansett and Montauk.
The fatalities among the invaders
were appalling; billions Of them were
squashed; but for two weeks the
dead and the dying. their number
constantly increased by willing hordes
from the ranks of the living, succeed
ed in smashing train schedules.
There were battles daily between
the big, powerful engines of the road
and the tiny caterpillars, the former
aided by skirmish lines of trainmen
armed with brooms, shovels, and pals
Of sand, the latter aided by nothing
but their ability to climb up on the
track and grease 1t with their
squashed bodies.
If these two opposing forces-the
big locomotives and the tiny cater
pillars-had been left to fight It out
between themselves, it Is a grave
question but what history would have
had a different story to inscribe upon
her tablets.

Full Crew Law Upheld.

The supreme court Of Pennsylvania
affirmed a lower court upholding the
constitutionality of the Full Crew
Law"
The Pennsylvania railroad, which
sought to restrain the state railroad
commission from enforcing the law,
asserted 1t would increase the roads
expenses nearly one-half million dol
lars annually without providing addi-
tlonal safeguards for the travelling
public.
The law Is similar to those OF Ar
kansas and Indiana, which have been
passed upon by the United States Su-
preme court. 1t requires an extra
brakeman on all passenger trains Of
more than three carr and al freight

the field of action with solution Of
sulfocide and nicotine shot from hand
spray pumps.
Day after day Fullerton and his
hand-car batteries raked the battle
field with their spray pumps, and day
after day c~aterpillars and yet more
caterpillars inundated themselves be-
fore any and every Long Island train
that ju~ggernauted hat way.
Then Fullerton bethought himself
Of the method by which medieval
castles were defended. He ran a six
inch moat along both sides Of the in
vaded stretch Of track and flooded it
with crude oil. Then did history re-
peat herself and tell over again the
story Of the French cuirassiers and
the sunken road at Waterloo, rank
after rank of caterpillars dashed into
this moat of Fullerton's, but not a
caterpillar reached its other side.
The Long Island railroad had won
the war of the caterpillars.
But though vanquished. they had
established a record. Bugs and worms
before this have crippled railroads,
but never before has any army, either
bug or worm, succeeded in continuing
its campaign for SO long a time.

HONOR IS NOT sTEPHENsON'S
Fifteen Years Before He Built thu
Rocket, William Hedley Had Pro
duced Practical Locomotive.

There is cause for wonder at the
failure Of the industrial world to COM
memorate fittingly the centenary OF
the locomotive steam engine. 1t ia,
Of course, still less than a hundred
years since the building Of Stephen
sons Rocket, and there are many who
think Of 1t as the first LOCOMOTIVES; but
It was not, nor was Stephenson the
original inventor OF steam traction on
railways. Doubtless his genius we'll
deserves the fame which it has won,
as does that Of Fulton and Morse; yet
it can scarcely be disputed that all
three of those illustrious b~enefactors
OF the race did their great works In
the successful adaptation and combina-
ton of elements which had previously
been discovered and employed by 9TH
erS.
The germ of the locomotive was first
displayed by Trevithick, at the end Of
the eighteenth century, but he lacked
the genius or the persistence to bring
1t to perfection. 1t was left to William
Hedley, chief engineer Of the historic,
Wylam colliery. neal Newcastle-on-
Tyne, assisted by his colleague, Tim
othy Hackworth, to produce in June,
1913, a practical locomotive steam en-
CINE for use on the colliery railroad.
This epoch-making machine, which
was named Putting Billy and which is
still preserved in the South kenslng-
ton museum, worked satisfactorily and
was the prototype of many others
which We're widely used for fifteen
years, until in 1929 the Liverpool and
Manchester Railroad encour-
aged Stephenson 10 devise and build
the Rocket.
1t is doubtless true mat it was Ste
phenson who gave the impulse TO the
marvellous development of the locomo-
tive which has since occurred. 1t is
equally true that il was Hediey's great
invention which gave the ms iration
and the impulse to Stephenson. The
Newcastle engineers achievement OF
just a century ago may therefore be
regarded as the beginning of what
must rank among the three or four
most valuable and influential me-
.ehanical inventions in the history Of
the world.

formless, huddled where they had
fallen, were the bodies OF dead and
dying, smitten ponies and half-naked
men. He drew a deep breath through
clinched teeth. endeavoring to distin-

The interior OF the coach was black.
and soundless, except for some ones
swift, excited breathing. AS he ex-
tended his cramped legs to the floor
he touched a motionless body. Not
until then had he realized the posi-
bilfty of death also within. He felt
downward with one hand. his nerves
suddenly %throbbing, and his finger
touched a cold face-the Mexican. 1t
must have been that last volley, for
he could distinctly recall the sharp
bark of Gonzales revolver e,tween
his own shots.

ly. 1T was a squarer death than he
deserved. He was a game little cock
Then he thought Of Moylan, won

could perceive now a distant star
showing clear through the ragged
opening jabbed In the back of the
coach. but no outline OF the suffers
burly shoulders.
"Moylan!" he called, hardly above a
whisper. What is the trouble? Have
you been hit, MANI"
There was no answer, no responding
sound, and he stood up, reaching kind
" over across the seat. Then he
knew. and felt a shudder run through
him from head to foot. Bent double

with hands still gripping his hot rife,
the man hung, limp and lifeless. Al

in Spanish, and then-the smoke blew
aside and they saw the field; the dead
and dying ponies, three motionless
bodies huddled on the grass. a few
dismounted stragglers racing on foot
for the river bank, and a squad Of rid
ers circling Ssycnd the trail. Hamlin
swept the mingled sweat and blood
out OF his eyes, smiled grimly, and
glanced back into the coach, instinct
lively slipping fresh cartridges into his
hot rifle.

quietly, all trace Of excitement van

piled Moylan, complainingly. and try
