Washington, Feb. 4.-Asiatic exclu.

Mako Good Examlnatlon.

In searching FOR trouble of any kind,
the motorist generally examines the
face Of his valves. either inlet or ex-
haust, and II they are found to At
tight and to be apparently in good
order his examination seldom goes
further. But 1t is very possible that
the cause of the trouble may be the
valve spindles and guides. OF course,
every motorist realizes that tho mix
ture is the all important matter as
regards the carburetor. The proper
lions OF vapor and air may easily be
upset, II from wear the valve stems
are reduced or the space between the
guides become enlarged, as a small
amount Of air at this point is enough
to destroy the proper proportions of
the mixture. When this occurs the
action OF the throttle Is rendered un-
even. One minute the engine speeds
up and the next It drags heavily. 1t
Is advisable. therefore to give more
than a cursory glance at the valves,
when one is having trouble with the
accelerator.

Wireless for Railroads.

Apart from its emergency value, a
demonstration that the wireless tele-
graph can be depended upon for un.
failing communications between run.
ming trains and fixed stations and be-
tween the trains themselves may mean
a revolution in the operation of trains
comparable to that which followed the
introduction OF the ordinary wire tele-
graph for this purpose. When rail.
roads can install reliably tuned equip
ment whereby dispatchers and train
conductors are able to keep in direct
touch regardless Of stops, It becomes
possible to save no inconsiderable
mount Of time in routine train opera.

stances to the time saved by regrad-
ings, cut-offs and other improvements
on the right Of way that require such
large appropriation of capital.

When the Rail Was New.

Those were great days for the
wood cutters down in Virginia" said
a veteran, speaking of the early days
or r~ailroading. The pine we used
was landed by boat at the Pennsy's
wharf In Tacony, and enough was
stacked to last through a winter. 1t
was a regular mountain of wood.
In those days the mechanic who
could get a job on a railroad was re-
garded as fixed for life. Conductors
$65 a month and so did enei-
neers. Ffremen and brakemen re-
ceiVed $40. Mechanics at their trades
were well paid If they earned rs
cents or 81 a day. But the wartime
prices affected wages, and by 1866
conductors and engineers were get
ting from $75 to 500 a month and
brakemen and firemen found their
pay up to $40.
There was a good deal OF drink.
Ing then among the trainmen; but the
really heavy drinking was done by
the passengers. 1t used to seem to
me that no man could go to New
York without a bottle In his pocket.
But n rule they observed-they did
their drinking In the smoker. It was
a pretty tough citizen who would get
full In the coaches used by women,
and 1t was u custom when one of
that breed did turn up to take him
back to the smoker"

Keep Crank Case Clean.

Because all of the oil contained in
the crank case Of ar engine Ia not used
up before a new supply must be put in,
the novice is apt to fail to appreciate
the need OF purging the case and re-
newlng the entire oil supply from time
to time. This Is absolutely necessary,
however, because the residue left aft
er much oil has been used Is largely
devoid Of its former lubricating prop
critics. and contains a large proportion
OF carbon and some. water. ADDING
fresh oil to this merely diIutes it, as
it were, and furnishes q deceptive re-
suit In the matter of quality. The eff.
feet Is much the came as though Door
grade OF lubricant were employed.
Hence 1t is absolutely essential that
the oil be drawn on entirely at regular
intervals, thrown away and a new sup
ply Of fresh oil being put In In Its
stead.

TO USE ELECTRIC POWER
Norwegian Government PLANNING Biz
Scheme In Connection With
lite Railroads.

In Norway the government pro
poses to carry out quite an extensive
scheme for applying electric traction
to the railroads. According to an
official report as to hydraulic re.
sources, the state already owns
enough water power to serve for
nearly all the railroads in the south
and west OF the country. However,
as it is intended to go into the matter
on as large a scale as possible, the
government is seeking to purchase as
many falls as possible in order to
obtain the needed amount of power.
A great outlay OF capital will be need
ed to carry out the extensive railroad
project. Among the principal rail-
roads are seven lines, including two
rom Chrtstiania to the Swedish from
tier, and others from that city 10
Gjoevik and Drammen. For the high.
tension power lines from the turbine
stations to railroads, including also
the s~ubstations, the outlay is $4,000
DOC. Notwithstanding the consider
able cost OF adopting electricity for
the railroads. it is expected to secure
economy in operating these
lines. Parliament lately decided to
begin the first work on the Chris
tlanla-Drammen railroad line. Nor
way Is 30 rich In hydraulic
that there Is little excuse for the en-
ployment Of any other power.-Scien.

Damage Suits Bun HIah.

A railroad with a high record for ac-
cidents must suffer not only in damage
suits, but in business, and II extra
fast schedules increase the risk of ac-
cident, either because Of the condition
OF he track o. of the cars, they
should be abandoned. It has been
found possible abroad, especially in
England, to reduce the number Of &C
cidents and the loss of life in them,
while maintaining fast, or at least SUI.
iciently fast, travel. 1t will not do to
sacrifice human life to the desire or
within Of a few men who want to make
a thousand miles distance in 20 hours.
Safety must come first, and we are
glad to see that this doctrine is being
preached and practiced on southern
roads.
