YELLING MUST BE PLENTIFUL
Without Liberal Supply Of Material
1t 10 Impossible to Get the
Proper Effect.

It is poor economy to buy too scant
measure when purchasing face veil
ing. A smartly adjusted veil can
never have a skinny effect, as when
the back of yelling is straining at the
edges of the veil pin, or when there
is not sufficient material left at the
ends to be tucked from view. Wide
yelling and plenty of it must be used
on even small hat. An excellent
idea is to have elastic cording run
through the meshes of the veil at the
top, being so measured as to fit firmly
at the base Of the crown. This meth
cd avoids the pinning Of the veil to
the hat brim, which is never a very
secure way Of fastening it and is diff
f1cult to do If the hat brim is stiff, and
is apt to leave pin marks in any

brakes of sufficient capacity to make
runaway practically impossible.
safely descend the grade, it is not so
with the freight trains with their
heavy cargoes Of coal and old-style
hand brakes, although four extra
brakemen are employed on the down
hiil trip; and runaways are quite
common, but their danger is altogeth-
er eliminated.
There are no bridges or tunnels on
this section, nor any sharp curves,
and IT has, therefore, been possible to
provide what might be termed land
fngs, as in a staircase, on which the
momentum of a descending train is
spent before it continues its down
ward run.
These landings consist of branch
tracks, 1900 feet long, running uphill
at almoset twice the grade of the
main track. onto which a descending
train may be switched, should the en-
gineer lose control over it or con-
slider its speed too great to safely per-
nit continued descent. The points
where these tracks branch out are So
lected at slight curves Of the main
track so that the downgofng train
runs straight onto the safety tracks,
Ia miles apart, and signs along the
road give the distance to the nearest,
so that the engineer has ample time
to decide whether to let his train
take rest" or not. The switch is
normally set to run the train onto the
safety track, and an open track" sig
nal is necessary if the engineer de-
sires to pass the switch.
Ascending trains likewise must sig
nal for open track and it Is need
less to say that both freight and pas
senger engines in going up must have
a helper" engine and sometimes two.
Even so. the uphill trip requires from
| Is to 90 minutes.
Since the installation of these safe
ty tracks only one accident has been
recorded. In that case an extra heavy
| train reached the end Of the safety
track and jumped off with two cars.
! It required two locomotives to haul
the wrecking engine up the steep
grade.-Popular Mechanics.

WAYS or FINDING PARTNERS
Some New and Original Ideas Which
Intending Hostesses May FtUd
of Real Value.

A correspondent kindly tells OF
these ways to find partners:
"One girl had conundrums written
on cards and given to the girls; the
answers to these were handed to the
gentlemen and they were numbered
corresponding with the numbers on
the girls cards; they were told to
find who their partners were. An
other girl had the girls names writ
ten backward on cards and handed
them to the gentlemen and told them
to make out who their partners were.
Another girl had small piece cut out
of the card; the pieces were given to
the girls and the other portions of the
cards were given to the gentlemen
and they were told to look for the
girl who held the card corresponding
with theirs. Another put the girls
names on cards and they were put in
envelopes and sealed and hid in DIFF
ferent places in the parlor"

Willow Switches Given Away.

The small boy whose father has
time to apply the switch should be
ware with little more than his usual
caution. The United States govern
ment is giving away willow switches
The department Of agriculture has
an experiment farm at Arlington, Va.
and some parts of it were found to be
too wet for raising ordinary crops
Therefore the experts set willows out
In the wet places, and there has been
so smart growth that the govern
ment wants to get rid of the willow
switches. 1t offers to give them away
under the guise Of willow cuttings to
make baskets or bottom chairs, but no
smart boy will ever be deceived by
that kind of talk. He may be safe on
ly in the assurance of the government
that only one hundred of the cuttings
will be given to one person.-Worces

A four-story building, all of 1t below

is the centerpiece of a group of mar

up the new Grand Central railroad
terminal in New York city. The build

In this modern tower two men, with
the aid Of electrical charts and cleo

signalmen, direct the movements OF
eight hundred trains a day over the
terminals thirty-two miles of track.
In an emergency, the system under
their control safely could handle a
maximum of two hundred, incoming
and outgoing trains an hour. The
first floor Of the tower, from which the
switches and signals of the suburban
level are operated has 400 levers; the
second floor, where the express train
dlspatchers work, has 362-one man

Instead Of looking out of windows

Keep Locomotive as Relic,

The first locomotive which ran on
the old four-foot S1a gauge line from
Capetown, Transvaal, South Africa, to
Wellington has arrived at the Cape
town central railroad station, where it
is to be placed in prominent position
as relic of the early days in the
railroad history of South Africa. The
engine was built at Leith, Eng, in
1859. 1t has six wheels, the first two
being driving wheels, with inside
cylinders, an unusual thing in South
Africa, where all the present-day en-
gines have outside cylinders. The
driving-wheels are flangeless, and the
engine has buffers similar to those on
English locomotives, in place of the
central draw-bar. now employed in
South Africa

Soda Lake in Africa.

In English East Africa is the rich
est bed of soda in the world. Engi.
neers say that it contains 200,000000
tons. The lake has a surface of more
than so square kilometers. During
the rainy season, which in this local
ity is short, it's surface is covered with
a shallow layer of water. When a
block of soda is taken out, another
forms, and the natives say that this
occurs so quickly that an equal
amount of soda may be distracted for
a number of years from the same
place.-Harper's Weekly.

Concrete for Railroad Ties,

President Hill says that cement will
take the place of wood as ties. He de-
clared recently, that the growing use
of concrete railroad ties would do more
to eliminate train wrecks than any
other factor. Mr.. Hill is an enthusi-
astic cement man and is using the
material on bis railroads to large ex-
tent. He said eventually concrete
would replace the old-fashioned wood
en- tie and that when his present plans
are consumnated his line will have
none but concrete ties.
