BUILDING A RAILROAD.
What II Means When the Contractors
Begin Operations.

With the right of way established
great army Of men enter into the
field The company does not build its
own road. 1t is turned over to contrac.
tors and is usually let in sections OF
from 200 to 300 miles.
The contractor must live up to Ger.
tain specifications, just as though be
were building a house, and he fur.
nishes everything-men, teams. ma.
chinery, food and material. Few peo-
pie realize what this means. A con-
tractor must be very near to a king.
For instance, there is the Hazelton
section in the mountains. 1t is less
than 200 miles in length. Before a
single shovel or pick was engaged
the building OF this section the ~
tractors had TO equip themselves with
a feet OF steamboats, at cost OF $780,.
600 They had to build scores OF
camps at from $1,000 to $4,000 a camp.
Each of these centers had 10 be stock.
I'd with provisions, supplies and mate
rails almost before builder was
brought in. Before these contractors
moved n shovelful OF earth or fired a
single blast they had spent over So
100000.
Each contractors camp IL like a
small city. with its stores, hospital,
scores of sleeping shaeks, kitchens,
dining rooms. warehouses and barns.-

,nEY NEVER SEE SP0oKS.
That 10 One Consolation That Color
Blind Persons Have.

Are you afraid of the dark? There
isn't chance Of you seeing ghost If
you are color blind. which may furnish
you ray OF comfort for the beauties
of landscape and floral decorations you
may have missed during your lifetime
DR.. August hummer, head of the
physical institute Of the University OF
Breslau, in Germany, is authority for
this.
DIR. hummer explains the phenome-
non in this way:
1.-The normal eye has an arrangement
of tiny rods and cones in the retlna.
The rods perceive light and the cones
color. When person with normal
eye tries to see In a half dark place
the cones, which are useless, interfere
with the effective action OF the rods,
and consequently the confusion creates
the effect OF apparitions that come and
go and change their shapes.
1.-THE color blind person lacks the
cones, and his rods act With extraordi-
nary efficiency in the dark. The color
blind person sees clear. permanent
outline OF things as long as there is the
least amount of light present. That
means that he never sees ghosts

Shocking Accident at New York

Injuries.
MANY PASSENGERS HURT

New York, July THE Palisades
Amusement Park was damned last
evening with the regular Sunday
summer night crowd, and the little
cars of the roller coaster were max
ing their whirling rounds and dips
on the elevated tracks in the center
of the park overlooking the Hudson
river, when at 1890 o'clock there
was sudden crash, and the sound
of grinding and splintering wood
mingled with the cries of injured
persons Every one ran forward, to
find that at point on the roller
coaster known as the second dip
turn in the track very close to the
ground-there had been a rear-end
collision between two cars.
The car in front kept its balance,
and the sixteen passengers who
were riding in it escaped without
harm. But from the second car sew
eral persons were thrown, and
among these the surgeons called to
the park from Union Hill and North
Hudson found some so seriously in
jured that they had to be hurried to
the hospitals.
OF those carried to the hospitals,
one man had both legs cut off, a
girl had leg broken, and several
were suffering from internal in
juries. Some were unconscious and
their names could not be learned.

FROZEN COAL MINES.
The Way The, Manage to Reach Their
Fue In Holland.

II was not until 1888, when Poetsch
invented the freezing method" that
Hollands coal fields became OF any
practical value.
Where coal is encountered immedi-
ately under the solid rock there is a
stratum OF drift sand that contains
great quantities Of water. This con-
dition of things made II practically
impossible 60 build the shafts. The
freezing method. however, has sue
cessfully solved the problem, and Hol-
land now has a fourishing mining in
dustry.
On the spot where the shaft is to be
dug from twenty-five TO thirty borings
are made down through the drift sand

larger in diameter than the projected
shaft. Pipes are then sunk into these
bore holes. and through these Is circu-
lated by powerful freezing machines a
chemical solution cooled down to be

In this way the drift sand containing
the water IL frozen as hard as a rock

THE BALKANS
Bulqars and Serbs Are Fighting
To The Death
LOSSES ON BOTH SIDES HEAVY
About 100000 Men Engaged and
Casualties of 10 Days May
Reach $4,000.

Belgrade, July 6.-The Servian
government has addressed a note to
Bulgaria, formally breaking off dip
lomatic relations and announcing the
recall of the minister at Sofia.
The Servian troops have victori-
ously entered Kotchana. A semi-of-
fetal statement, however. describing
the military position after five days
fighting, makes for the first time
the admission that the Seryian arms
have not been so uniformly success
full as was previously represented
But the claim is made that SerVla
has prevented Bulgaria from execut-
ing her political plan of gaining by
a surprise attack possession of Mace
donia territories which she wished to
occupy pending arbitration. The
statement says that the Servians
were taken by surprise and had to
concentrate their forces, but succeed
ed in repelling the Bulgarian adj
vance. Little by little the Servian
army assumed the offensive, and the
DOSltlOl now Is lildl Tic soSi 'iohS
have forced the Bulgarian right wing
back over the river Bregalintza,
whittier they retreated in disorder.
Describing the five days opera
lions in the south, between Vardar
and Krivolak, it says that after hold
ing a greatly superior force in check
the Servians were obliged to retire.
Thus Krivolak fell into the hands OF
the Bulgarians. 1t contends, howev-
err, that his Bulgarian success was in
significant as compared with the
Servian successes against the Bull
garian right wing.
Another semiofficial communica-
tion says that last weeks battles
were the longest, the bloodiest and
the hardest fought of all the battles
in the Balkan war. The Servians had
$4,000 killed and wounded, the Bull
garians 10000 The Bulgarian loses
were increased by the bad organiza-
ton OF their Red Cross service and
lack of communications and trans
ports Their wounded were left on
the battlefield; the dead were unburi-

The Russian Frontier.

One feature in which the Russian
frontier differs from others is the COM
plete ignorance OF those living near the
border Of what lies beyond.
A correspondent of the Autocar says
that he called at the Automobile club

nation. THE members received me
most kindly and did all they could to
help. but explained that they never
crossed the frontier and had no first
hand knowledge. The German customs
officer. living for ten years within
yards OF Russia, spoke no word Of Rus
sian. and the Russians beyond the
chain spoke no German.

Bennington lost and won in the
weekend baseball games. On Satur-

Huckleberry bunch went down be-

Rutland was the visiting team and
the Marble City outfit was over

IL to 3.
In only two innings of theSaturday
game was the Bennington team able
to bunch hits upon McRobbie, who
was in the box for North Adams.
In the opening period Carroll's single
and Carolans double were good for
run. In the fourth Edgars triple,
Madden's single, a pass and error
put three Bennington runners across
the plate. Conley's double and an
error were responsible for Benning-
tons final score in the fifth.
North Adams began to bat Mad

the ball to center field for three
bases with two runners on the sacks
and came home on Days sacrifice

three singles. Madden also issued a
free ticket in this period and the
net result was four runs for the
visitors. Another ticketed North
Adams batter made the circuit on
a sacrifice and Conley's boot in the
sixth and pair of singles with the
assistance of Edgar's wild heave
were good for another run in the
seventh. The score:

Each of the wheels bears distin-

city is made aware Of their presence
long before he sees them by the creak-
ing and grooming noise which greets
his ear. At first 1t suggests pipe or
gan and later brass band practicing.
The wheels are built of dark ma
hogany, which gives them at dis

seventy-five feet and is declared to be
the biggest water wheel In existence.
The naura are erected on what Is
