European Railroad GAUGES.

From the engineering Record.
There are several railway gauges
or widths between the two rails of
the track-in Europe, but in the Uni
ted States and Canada 1t Is possible for
a, truck to travel from Prince Rupert
to New Orleans, and from Quebec to
San Francisco without hindrance. This
was accomplished at great expense
some 20 or 30 years ago. In Europe the
bulk OF the mileage Is the standard 4
foot, s1k-inch gauge. There are. how
ever. some other gauges, especially the
meter gauge In France. Belgium, italy,
Spain and Portugal. Tho most Inn
lportant exceptions are In Spain and
Portugal. where they have nearly TO-
900 miles OF the 5-foot, 6-inch gauge,
and In Russian anId Finland. where
there are 10000 miles Of the 5-foot
gauge. This S3Aa-inch difference from
the standard was adopted by the Rus
sian government TO avoid the dangers
OF invasion. The only connection be-
tween France and Spain Is at Irun. on
Biscayan coast. but the Pyrenees
are now being pierced 1t more than

SOME PEOPLE GET ON
NERVES OF A WATCH
From Pierson.s Weeklx,

One OF the troubles Of watchmakers
Is the man who gets on his watch's
nerves. There are lots of customers on
whom a good watch Is wasted. A good
second hand watch that has kept per-
feet time for other people will, with
certain other people. go irregularly
when It Is not standing still. It IS
watches are greatly Influenced by their
owners.
Nobody knows the reasons, but two
explanations. have been offered. One
Is that watches are sensitive to per-
sonal magnetism, the natural electric
ity that human beings contain in vary
ing quantities.
The other is that a, watch may be
disturbed by the vibrations set up by
a footstep which is heavier than the
ordinary. The man who puts his heels
down heavily usually needs to set the
regulator towards ''slow" to keep it
from gaining.
One of the mysterious sides of the
subject is that watches seldom keep
good time on people OF nervous, excit-
able temperaments.

Our Inadequate Agriculture.

Robert w. Bruere in Harper's Magazine
Economists tell us that the cause Of
high prices is to be found in the alb
normal increase Of the worlds gold
supply. in the "brigandage of the mid
dlemen." in the growth of luxury. the
aggression of labor. and all manner of
disturbance In the Industrial world.
But there is yet another explanation
which has not received the consider
alton its reasonableness demands, In
great agricultural states like Illinois
and Iowa less land is under cultivation
today than IA years ago; many i'm
portant counties in states lika Ohio are
producing less food than they did be-
fore h civil war. During the last
census period population in the United
States increased 81 per cent, but agri-
cultural production increased 10 per
cent only. To meet an increase OF 81
per cen in h number of mouths to

NEEDLE DEFlES SCIENCE.
= Fugitive Bits of Steel in the
Body Enigma for Doctors.
From the Kansas City Star.
DON'T step on a needle

Don't step on a needlei
A needle point in the human body
is almost as hard to find as a needle
in q haystack." Every surgeon knows
that so we'll that he would almost rath-
er be called upon to make a major sur
glcal operation than to go cutting and
around among the intricate
muscles and bones Of the hand and
foot in search Of the fine point of a
cambria needle.
In the large hospitals scarcely a day
passes without an operation to remove
a needle point n the chances are
about even as to whether the tiny point
of steel will be found or not.
The first thing done is to make an
&-ray picture Of the hand or foot.
This shows he needle point imbedded
in the flesh. But even with this as a
guide where to cut the most skilled
surgeon may not succeed in finding the
needle.
Last week M Of the best
In Kansas City spent an hour and a
half searching for a needle point in
the palm of a woman's hand, and, al
though the N-ray photograph showed
following morning he resumed the
search, with h patient under an an
aesthetic, for a half hour and Their
gave up the attempt.
Where a needle point is not found it
hardly ever makes serious trouble. II
bitches its way along in the flesh with
every movement Of the muscles, caus-
ing considerable soreness, until it
reaches a place beside a Done or in a
muscle where it can rest with freedom
from muscle movement. and then it's
presence is seldom felt n it will lie
there through q lifetime. Or 1t NAV
work it's way to the skin, where it will
u a pimple. and may be drawn out
with the fingers.
The best thing to do if you get a
broken off needle point into you is to
go straightway to a good surgeon and
have him operate for It's removal, even
If he does tell you that it's an even
break whether or not he finds it.

Is Germany Facing Starvation?
From the Chicago Herald.

The apparent attitude of the German
government toward it's Belgian captives,
we hear that they are forbidden to leave
the country. is extremely difficult to UNI
derstand. Under such circumstances as
the appear to be in II has been
the custom of the besieged military force
to turn out the noncomhattants and to
endeavor to throw the burden of feeding
them upo the enemy. There has been no
intirnation that the allies would drive the
Belgians back If the Germans drove them
out or permitted them to depart.
The reported refusal to permit the Bel
also sounds strange. It appears
to reveal conditions approaching actual
distress IN Germany whose existence has
been most ~strenuously denied by the Ger
man press. When communities refuse
even to sell food to other communities
only q few miles away the situation looks
as II the former saw near at hand for
themselves the hunger which the latter
are facing.
