CARS HAVE FIREPRooF FLOOR
English Builders Satisfied With Re-
suits Of Experiments and Are Co.
ing Ahead.

For some time past attention has
been given in railroad circles to the
question OF freprooing coaches, and
such coaches are now a feature Of up
to-date practice. says London Tit-Bits.
At Swindon experiments were first
made on two or three coaches. after
which it was decided to extend the
principle to practically all new
coaches; consequently the coaches
now under construction at Swindon
have fireproof floors.
The base Of the floors is formed OF
sheets Of galvanized corrugated steel,
riveted together and secured to the
lowest member of the side framing of
the coach. On the top of this are fast.
ened expanded metal sheets, and on.
the bed thus formed the %flreprOof floor
ing is laid to an average depth OF one
inch. When dry, the material forms a
hard, fire-resisting substance through
which it will be impossible for flames
to penetrate.
As a further precaution against fire,
says the Great Northern Railway
Magazine, the coaches are cased with
galvanized steel sheets at the sides
and ends screwed on to the wooden
framing.

Steam Locomotives Increasing.

The annual report of the public serv-

Of New York shows that the number
Of locomotives owned by the railroads
which operate wholly, or in part, in
the state of New York, increased rs
per cent. in the five years from 1907
to 1912.
The average tractive effort increased
III per cent, and in 1912 was 10000
pounds. In the same report an analy-
sis is given of the causes OF engine
failures and it is shown that hot bear
ings are responsible for 12.5 per cent.
low steam for Is per cent, steam leaks
for 1873 per cent, broken machinery
for 1875 per cent, miscellaneous, such
as loose nuts, bolts, tires. wheels, burst
air hose, etc, for the remaining 33.1
per cent.
The report states that there have
been no boiler explosions within the
state in the five years during which
the commission has supervised this
work. Notwithstanding the fact that
there are over 5000 locomotives con
stantly in use within the state.-Cur

SUGGESTION or A vETERlNAR-

OTHER ITEMS OF INTEREST
FROM tbs Capitol City. the Various
State Institutions and From
Many Different Parts Of

Hrookings.-The following z
ions regarding hog cholera were made
by DIR. G. c. Lipp, veterinarian South
Dakota State college, here:
Numerous requests are received
from time to time by the veterinary
department Of State college for sug-
sestlons on the prevention and con-
troll Of hog cholera. 1t is invariably
advised that the hogs be vaccinated il

TO vaccinate the hogs and thereby
bring the disease under control.
In addition to vaccination, the yards
and houses should be kept clean, light
and airy. Spray the pens with a strong
disinfectant solution, using a force
pump it n is available; if not, a
s%pr,aKling can will answer. Use plen-
~ of disinfectant and get it into all
the cracks and corners A coat OF
whitewash, containing 5 per cent of
carbolic acid, applied to the walls Of
the hog houses and pens, as we'll as to
the fences, will HEP materially. Air
slaked lime sprinkled about the yards
and houses will help ome Scald the
sWill pals and troughs at frequent in
tervals. Give the hogs carbolic acid,
a tablespoonful in each pail of swill.
1t is important that all cas-
should be burned or buried as near the
place where they died as possible.
Burning is better than burying. Also
burn all the straw and litter il the
houses where hogs die from cholera.
These measures are not offered as
cures. but as safeguards against pos
s.ble losses.
Some farmers deliberately. but UNI
knowingly, infect their own herds. In
districts where cholera has never ap-
pearec beforehand there are many
such in this state, where farmers have
never seen hogs with cholera-one
farmer visits a neighbor TO observe
the symptoms Of the disease. He goes
about the nog yards and houses. get
ting his shoes laden with germs. and
then goes into his own herd looking
for symptoms OF the disease. BY this
method he actually carries the cause
OF cholera from his neighbours herd
into his own. The wise farmer never
visits his neighbor'a herd and never
for fear that cholera may be intro
ducad.

FOR SAFETY ON LINE
PRECAUTIONS IN EUROPE ARE
MOST THOROUGH.
English Newspaper Accords Them
High Praise, Though Il 10 Doubt
fui Whether American Meth
DDS Are Not Superior.

The fact that there was an made
quate supply of tools and implements
which could be used for the rescue OF
passengers from the wrecked coaches
in the recent terrible disaster at Ais
gill calls attention to the excellent
emergency methods adopted on rail
roads abroad, say the London Daily
Mail.
In Canada and the United States the
law insists that every coach on long
distance expresses must contain an
AK, saw. Neutrality-suspicious., and a sup
ply of bandages; and it would be the
duty OF the conductor on a train in
the event Of an accident to issue to
passengers tools and extinguishers.
In France it is stipulated by the
railway law of 1916 that each train
shall carry the most necessary tools"
in Ease OF accidents, but the best
equipped trains in this respect are the
German corridor expresses from Ber-
lin to Cologne. Many OF these car
riages not only contain a glaze lock-
er in which an ak rope, saw, and 9TH
Or articles for use in emergency are
kept, but there are also exhibited in
structions for opening the windows in
cas- of an accident.
In Prussia strict precautions are
taken that every carriage is supplied
with a fire-extinguisher, while a
Ratchet and saw hang in a glass-front-
ed case in the corridor. In the slow
trains, however, these appliances are
only carried in the baggage cars. The
large windows which are a feature OF
the carriages of most Continental
railways were introduced in Prussia
largely in order to make it easy for
the passengers to escape.
Furthermore, a supply Of torches Is
carried in the luggage car for use in
case Of the failure of the light. while
1t is a rule on the Prussian railroads
that il a train halts for % than
eight minutes an additional warning
is provided to drivers OF following
trains.
The terrible smash which occurred
between W excursion trains three
years ago about fifteen miles from
Melbourne. when forty-seven people
were killed and hundreds injured. in
much the same circumstances as those
involved in the disaster at Aisgill. led
to the state government directing that
every train. whether passenger or
freight. should cary IN the cabCasa
the means to save and suceour in the
event of a mishap. Today every train
in Victoria is fitted with a case hung
in the caboose, in which there is 4
serviceable saw, ak, a small crowbar,
and one or two other tools, as well as
collapsible ambulance stretchers. a
complete supply of bandages, and 9TH
er medical appliances.

Officials Find Voters Obstinate.

Sioux Falls.-The county commits
sioners of Minnehaha county recently
adopted a motion to the effect that
they would pay a sliding scale of
compensation to all city or township
clerks who would secure the register
ing of 80 per cent OF the voters in
their jurisdiction. 1t is feared that
the plan adopted by the commission
ers will be given a setback by a sit
uation which cOnfrunts James Rid
dington, city clerk Of Dell Rapids, and
which may also exist elsewhere. City
Clerk Riddington in a letter to the
county auditor states that he will
make no effort whatever to secure the
registering Of voters in his city. He
gives as a reaso that the only way he
could receive al compensation for his
services would be by securing the
names OF 80 per cent Of the voters of
the city. He points out that to accom-
plish this is an impossibility, as al
ready more than so per cent of the
voters OF Dell Rapids have fatty re-
fused to register. Whether city and
township clerks in other sections have
a similar condition confronting them
has not yet been reported. Just why
voters should refuse to register is a
mystery, as they cannot participate in
the coming party primaries unless
they register.

AFRAID or BANKS.
So Stickney Couple Hid Money
Out $1,15O.

Stickney .-Their lack of faith in
banks has up t date cost Mr.. and
Mrs. A. Scott. residing on a Aurora
county farm. the sum of s1,15O in cash.
They made a practice Of keeping large
sums OF money in the house instead
OF trusting it to a bank.
OF the sum lost, $3.50 was stolen
from their home, while the remaining
5000 was burned in a fire that de-
stroyed their dwelling house some
months ago. The loss of the $3.50 has
just been discovered. The discovery
of the loss came about when they de-
cided to pay a note which had just
become due. The money had been Sc
creted in an ACCORDION box, which
served as a crude safety deposit box.
When they went to the place where
the money had been hidden they
found it gone.
lei the members of the family
remembered that about a week ago.
they found their house had been ran
sacked. All that could be missed at
the time was all the fresh bread and
a quantity OF butter, which had been
in a cupboard. They never thought
to inspect the hiding place Of the
$3.50, as they believed the house had
been entered during their absence by
tramps, whose sole purpose was to
secure something to eat.
The loss was reported to the au-
thorities. but thus far no the slight
est trace Of the thief or thieves can
be found. There is a possibility that
the money was taken by someone
living i'll the ne%ighborhood, who was
familiar with their practice Of using
their home as a bank, and that the
butter and bread were taken to divert
suspicion from the real reason why
the house was ransacked.
