BUILDING A RAILROAD.
What 1t Means When che Contractors
Begin Operations.

With the right of way established,
a 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 he
were building n house. and he fur
nishes everything teams. una
chinery, food and material Few peo-
pie realize what this means. A con-
tractor must be very near to 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 in
the building Of this section the CON
tractors had to equip themselves with
a feet of steamboats, at a cost of $500
COO. They had TO build scores OF
camps at from $1,000 to $4,000 a camp.
Each of these centers had to be stock,
ed with provisions. supplies and mate
rails almost before a builder was
brought in. Before these contractors
moved a shovelful Of earth or fred a
single blast they had spent over &c.
o0O,OCO.
Each contractors camp is like a
small city. with its stores. hospital,
scores Of sleeping shacks. Kitchens,
dining rooms. warehouses and barns.-

!iven City In Syria.
Hama, in Syria. says writer in the
Wide World Magazine. is famed for
its huge water wheels, locally known
as uaura. There are four of them,
and they are driven by the river Or.
Ontes. which flows through the town
Each of the wheels bears "A distin-
guished name. and the visitor to the
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 it suggests a pipe or
gan and later brass band practicing.
The wheels are built of a dark ma
hOSany. which gives them at a dis
lance the appearance of iron. The lar
gest of them boasts of diameter of
Seventyfve feet and is declared to be
the biggest water wheel in existence.
The naura are erected on what is
known as the undershOt principle
that is to say. they are driven by the
water striking them at their base.
They serve not only to supply the town
with water but also irrigate the adj
jacent gardens:
The wheels never stop. summer or
winter. and day and night their creak-
ing and groaning are heard. In the
summer months small boys may al
ways be seen bathing in the river in
the neighbOrhoOd of the wheels. and
for small coin they will get in be-

and utensils for canning are import
ant. The room must be clean and
freshly swept TO alleviate as many
germs as possible; the utensils should
be suitable so that the housewife need
not constantly "make-shift," thereby
wasting time, and the jars should be
of the right type.
One OF the most satisfactory of all
jars is the one of glass, top and al,
which. closes with a spring. This
necessitates the use of rubbers. which
by the way, should always be new
when used. They are also wide mouth
ed, so that packing the vegetables is
simple process.
STEAM BATH NECESSARY.
In canning vegetables a steam bath
which may be covered is absolutely
necessary. A steam cooker is an ideal
utensil, good kettle, in which to boil
all vegetables not packed raw in the
jars, and a wide-mouthed funnel, and
large colander for washing are all
With the exception of a few vege-
tables, such as asparagus, green pep
pers and tomatoes, it will scarcely pay
the city housewife to can her,.Teak
tables, unless the brilnssn711t flavor is
sufficient reward for ting ex:ra trouble
involved. But the woman with the
garden is adding gBeatly to the high
cost of her living if she allows the
vegetables to waste simply because
she does no. know how to handle
them
The vegetables must be young when
gathered, for it is impossible to pro-
duce a tender, succulent result when
they are old and tough They should
be gathered early in the day. picked
over, washed and canned at once be-
fore the whitening process, which saps
the flavor, has commenced If it is
necessary to delay, let them remain
in cold water SO that they may be
fresh and crisp when the cooking be-
gins. In canning all vegetables, salt
alone Is necessary adjunct, for 1t
hardens the cell walls and encasing
the chlorophyll or green colorfag mat
ter, therefore allowing the vegetables
to retain their attractive greenness.

Canning vegetables is really not a
difficult task, provided the house
keeper has kept in mind what we have
written several times before on all
canning, and that is absolute surgical
cleanliness and sterilization, which
means the complete elimination of
germ life. Germs causing decay may
be divided into three general classes
molds, yeast and bacteria.
OF the three classes of germs, bac-
terra are the most Yirulent, for they
thrive in all products rich in proteid
such as meats and vegetables like peas
and beans. In so far as we know, all
molds require air in which to multiply,
but many kinds of bacteria can live
when no air is present and will cause
decomposition.
The vegetables which offer the best
medium for bacteria growth are there.
fore those which are hard to can" az
peas, beans and cora. Bacteria are
produced by spores or seeds, as they
may be termed for convenience sake;
anu N4ilAC TIC DtLCbCll Id l4CDloGlNC CO dl Z
easily killed, the spores retain their
vitality for some time even at the boil
ing temperature, and when the mix,
ture cools the multiplication com
mences.
SUCCESS AT STAKE
Upon the determination of these
spores depends the success of vege-
table canning. The best method to
bring this about is the intermittent
method originated by Pasteur.
The jars of vegetables should be
steamed for d certain length Of time
depending upon the variety Of vegc-
table, on three successive days rather
than cooked in one long period. The
first boiling destroys the bacteria, the
second bacteria that may hare devel-
oped from spores in the Interim and
the third boiling is largely precaution-
airy. Besides being a safe method,
this has the added advantage of pro.
ducing vegetables of better color and
more sparkling flavor than is possib.e
to produce by one long cooking. -
