EASILY SEEN BY ENGINEER
Illuminated Semaphore Signals Tried
and Approved by German
Railroads

Illuminated semaphore signals,
equally efficient by day as well as by
night, have been proposed many
times and have been the subject of
several patents. The idea has been
tried in this country, says the Engi-
neering News, and a signal of this
class has been in use for about two
and half years in the classification
yard OF the Prussian state railways
at Tempelhof, near Berlin. It is said
that it has given good results in ordi-
nary weather and also during fogs,
and that the operating costs are
small
The signal has long blade or arm
p1voted at the middle and bent to
parabolic curve. The blade consists
OF a long narrow mirror, while a
smaller mirror curved in the opposite
direction gives the back or reverse
indication. In each case, a lamp
placed in the focus of the parabola
furnishes the illumination. A plat
form at the top of the signal mast
serves for maintenance of mirror and
lamp. The large mirror has focal
length of four feet, and other dimen-
sions found to be the best by expert
ment. The rejecting face is coated
with aluminum-bronze paint but the
surface is not polished, as a diffusing
action is thought best. A small para
bolic reflector behind the lense serves
to throw all the light upon the signal
arm.
The signal is lighted with acety-
lene gas, fed from steel tank at the
foot of the mast, but any other form
of lighting could be used.

TALES TOLD OF ULSTERMEN
Bull Worthy of Any One From the
County of Cork-"Canny" About
Marriage Fees.

The fisherman is not incapable of
a bull, says the British WeC[ly. 1t
was an Ulster marquis who endeared
himself to his tenantry by the memor-
able bull uttered in his speech at an
agricultural dinner: Il wish my farm
ers would use iron plows, because
they last forever, and will afterwards
sell as old iron"
1t was an FISHERMAN who at a
funeral observed the awkward work
of an unaccustomed hand, and ex-
claimed as he seized a shovel: 81
wasn't seven years counting a sex
tons daughter without learning to
sod a grave"
No matter how large the brides for
tune, the fisherman generally grum-
bled over the marriage fee.
Wouldn't half a crown timpt ye?"
asked bridegroom of the officiating
minister when the clerk demanded the
usual five shillings.

WITH ROUGH TIMBER
EXAMPLE OF EXCELLENT RAIL
ROAD CONSTRUCTION WORK.
Estimates Show That Cost Was About
Half of What 1t Would Have Been
if Dressed Lumber Had
Been Used.

An example of the extent to which
rough timber can sometimes be used
in the construction OF railroad spurs
or temporary lines is given in the re-
Gently completed extension OF the
Ruskin-Stave Falls in British Column
bia. About 100000 feet board measure
of hewed and rough timber were USED
in crib and trestle work on this ex-
tension, which is $500 feet long and
cost about $4,000
The line follows along very steep
side hill in loose, sliding earth ana
required a large amount of retaining
wall construction. The heavy timber
growth was, therefore, utilized to good
advantage, and cribs and trestles were
built from cedar timber cut on the
right of way or adjacent thereto. The
cribs were built up as the grading
and sleeper slopes it was found con-
yenient to terrace them in one or
more sections.
Several trestles were required at
ravine crossings, and in order to give
greater stability to these structures,
timber crib foundations were built
wherever the footings came on sloplng
ground. The road is OF standard gauge
and was built on uniform grade OF
5 per cent. compensated, with maxi
mum curvature of Is degrees.
The timber on one trestle totals
$4,000 feet board measure. Including
engineering supervision, the structure
cost S9T5.75. The amount of timber
used in this trestle, IL bought from the
mill as dimension lumber at the regu-
lar rate of $40 per 1000 feet board
measure would have come to Sl,lSO,
while probable addition cost of $3.50
for erecting would have brought the
total up to about twice the amount
actually expended on the structure.
The timber crib in another place
contains 41,000 feet board measure,
and cost in place 1910, or about $24
per 1000 feet board measure. This
cost is considered somewhat higher
than the average on the work, due to
the very soft earth encountered at
this point.
In making a fill near the lower end
of the line rough timber trestle 500
feet in length, with an average height
OF 2S feet and a maximum height of
80 feet, was built at cost of 81 per
foot, including ties and Sc pound rails.
This structure was only used until
the fill was graded for permanent
roadbed and it's heaviest loading was
a 12-ton dinkey engine with three g.
ton Coaded) dump cars.

WRAP 'EM PROPERLY.
Postmaster Rigby Gives Christmas In
structions to Topekans.

If the privilege could be obtained
for putting a bundle wrapping coun-
ter inside or near the entrance to the
postoff1ce. some enterprising person
might derive a real revenue from that
source in the next week or two by
wrapping parcels which are refused
admission to the mails because they
are not securely bound up for transit.
This year, as usual, the postofflce
folks are worried by the number
Of improperly wrapped packages.
Would-be lenders are prone to take a
chance with their consignments by
fastening them in thin paper with
weak cord and the clerks at the win
to refuse to accept dozens Of packages
daily. There is no provision at the
postoffice for re-wrapping. Hence the
neglected business opportunity.
There's never any suitable string
or paper around the average house."
declared Postmaster w. O. Rigby to-
day. People come in with a Christ
mas present; done up in single wrap
pings of newspaper and tied with cot
ton twine that wopldpst hold a minute
after 1t got under pressure in the mail
sacks. We simply refuse to take
them. We could do a nice little bust
ness on the side in wrapping bundles
over, but it's out of our line"
Many stores make a speciality Of
wrapping parcels for the mails. But
many other parcels are prepared at
home in the haphazard fashion de-
scribed by the postmaster.

Democrats Of Kansas House
Must Take Chilly Seats.
Old Established Custom Throws
Them From Sun.
TOAST THEIR feet IN SENATE
North Pole Blasts Won't Touch
Upper House Members.
One of Unique Features Of Leg
islative Sessions.

Democratic members of the house
who two years ago sat on the warm
side OF the hall. will next month move
back to the north side and act as
wind shield for the Republican MEM
bers who carry most OF the legislative
responsibility for the coming session.
1t is the old established custom still
in force and operation-the majority
sits in the rays Of the winter sunshine
while the minority members shiver and
listen to their teeth chatter when they
try to talk in opposition to an admin
istration bill.
For the first time in a good many
years the Democratic house members
were permitted to sit on the south side
of the house during the 1913 session.
The same thing happened in the senate.
That made a new record. Never be-
fore had the Democrats been able to
control both branches of the state leg
islature at one and the same time and
to receive messages from a Democratic
governor. So they showed their appre-
citation by moving their seats to the
south side of the hall near the heat
pipes And at the sar q time they
pushed the Republicans as near the
north pole as the walls OF the state
house would permit.
But this winter the Democrats are
going back-in the house. For years
they have suffered from chilblains and
frost bites while the Republicans trans
acted all the business. They had &C.
customed themselves to wearing fur
gloves and heavy coats while waiting
for the consideration Of some special
bill. Long years Of practice and endur-
ance had hardened them.
So when the Republicans went to
the north side Of the hall in 1913.
their suffering was doubly intense,
while the joy OF the Democrats was
doubly keen. Then the Democrats
lost the recent election. the Repubn-
cans piled up a majority Of three and
are safely in control Of the lower
branch of the state law making body.
That majority of three means more
than the ability OF the Republican ad
ministration to rush its measures
through the house. 1t means that the
Sc Republican members will sit in the
warmth and toast their feet near the
heat pipes. They can browse in the
warm rays of winter sunshine that f1l-
ter through the unwashed windows of
Representative hall and they can
smoke good cigars and keep warm.
But there is no such JOY for the DEM
ocrats. They must act human bar
ometers while striving at the same
time to honestly do three dollars
worth Of legislating each day.
Over in the senate the Democrats
will retain control of the south side
OF the hall. The senate members of
two years ago were elected for a term
of four years and in the senate the
Democrats have a safe majority q
one-and all the warm seats.

The electric company controlled by
the Helm interests of Kansas City, is
now operating cars between Bonner
Springs and Kansas City has
completed survey from Bon

on the line from Lawrence to Topeka
may also start next year.
Under the organization plan, the road
is capitalized at $4,000 q mile.
1t is claimed by officials of the in

corporation really calls for the oper-
alton of an electric line from Salina
to Kansas City. This plan. it is claim
