TRESPASSERS ON THE TRACKS

In "a years 100000 trespassers on

Watched.-Minneapolis Journal.
The Bee has frequently called at
tent1on to the enormity of the tres
passer problem and the evident wide
spread ignorance regarding it-either
ignorance or Indifference, we are not
sure which. Something is to be said
on both sides of the question: it may
De admitted, perhaps, that more thor
ough policing or patrolling of railroad

ing. The person who unlawfully trav-
erses the right-of-way to an extent as
sumes the risk.

and six others seriously injured on one

to July has been brought to our at

WITH TRAGEDY IN HIS MIND
Husband Dashed Home in Response
to Telephone Call to Find His
Worst Fears Were Groundless.

Smithson said thunderstorm al
ways reminded him of this absurd In
cident in his early married life. He
said 1t happened when their first baby
was only two months old, so he might
be pardoned if his solicitude exceeded
his sober judgment. He was at his
office one afternoon when a terrific
thunderstorm broke which crashed
enough to frighten anyone, so when
the phone rang and his wife's voice
tremendously asked: George, dear,
can you come home right away?" he
said, yes" quickly, nor paused to
question, but frantic with misgivings,
grabbed his hat and almost ran
through town to his home.
Arriving all breathless, he found his
wife awaiting him on the porch, her
face the very picture of distress.
Rushing up to her he said anxious
ly: why, darling, what's the mat
ter?"
Much to his surprise came this re-
ply: ooh, George, dear, We have

FACE FULL OF PIMPLES

4240 So. California Ave., Chicago, ILL.,
About a year ago my face was full
Of pimples and red spots. To sleep
one night without itching was almost
impossible. Some Of the pimples
would get big and red and If touched
them they would pain, while others
would get white heads on them and
when they broke open some matter
came out. They would burn and itch
and scratched them so that some
times they would break and bleed.
That always caused them to be worse.
Il bought all kinds of salves and
creams and found out that they did
me no good. / noticed the Cuticura
Soap and Ointment advertisement and

An aerial passenger galloway is
soon to be Luilt across the whirlpool
at Niagara falls to enable visitors to
get close view Of that marvel of ma
ture and to experience the thrills con-
nected with such view without incur
ring any danger. The system, which
is described with illustrations In the
Popular Mechanics magazine, is sim

Sebastian, Spain, for spanning a
chasm between two mountain resorts,
and to the one that climbs the first
stage OF the Wetterhorn in Switzer-
land. The whirlpool is situated in
Canadian territory, about six miles
below Niagara falls. The galloway is
to be about seventeen feet long, with
the cables stretched at an elevation Of
about two hundred and fifty feet above
the whirlpool. The car. which has
already been built in Spain, has ca

PURPOSE IN NARROW GAUGE
Russian Government CIInes to 1t az a
Measure Of National
Protection.

There are several railroad gauges
or widths between the two rails of the
track in Europe, but in the United
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 twenty or thirty years ago. In
Europe the bulk of the mileage is the
standard four-foot eight and one-half-
inch gauges. There are, however, some
other gauges, especially the meter
gauge in France, Belgium, Italy, Spain
and Portugal
The most important exceptions are
In Spain and Portugal, where they
have nearly ten thousand miles of the
hve-foot six-inch gage, and in Russia
and Finland, where there are 10000
miles of the five-foot gauge. This three
and one-half inches difference from the
standard was adopted by the Russian
government to avoid dangers of in
vasion. The only connection between
France and Spain is at Irun, on the
Biscayan coast, but the Pyrenees are
now being pierced at more than one
place, and a question of conforming
the gauge Of Spain and Portugal to
that Of the bulk of Europe has arisen

Electricity Cheaper Than Steam.

In the case of one 440-mile division
of railroad, according to a speaker
quoted in the Electrical World. cleo
trio operation offers an estimated saw
ing of % per cent over the cost of
steam. Where direct current is en-
ployed for electrification a large por-
ton of the installation investment is
paratus, and q smaller proportion in
locomotives. On the other hand where
alternating current is employed the
stationary equipment is less compli-
Gated and less expensive than the di-
rect-current station apparatus, but the
locomotive electrical equipment be-
comes more elaborate.

EARTH's MOST LONELY SPOTS
Islands Where Communication With
the Great World 10 at Rare In
tervas-Tristan da Cunha.

Though scientific progress has made
1t possible to do a double journey be-
tween England and America in a fort
night, there remain many islands with
which it takes years to communicate.
Off the Scottish coast are the
groups of islands known as the He
brides, Orkneys and Shetlands. OF
these the most isolated island is ST.
Kilda, some three miles long and two
miles broad. The inhabitants lead
lives of great loneliness, for it takes
a month to get to the next island,
and the sea often makes any COM
munication with St. Kilda impossible
for months.
The group of eight Phoenix islands
in the Pacific has total population of
only 158, while another little bit of
the British empire is Tanning island.
This is a landing place for the Pacific
submarine cable, and usually there
are about one hundred people IN the
place.
The loneliest Of all parts of British
territory is the Island of Tristan Da
Cunha in the South Atlantic, which
is also the smallest inhabited island
in the empire 1t is 1900 miles from
land, has a population of "a Scottish
Americans, and the inhabitants get
news of the outer world usually once
every two years.

MAKES FOR EFFICIENCY
SYSTEM OF EASTERN RAILROAD
A PRONOUNCED SUCCESS.
Prizes, Honor Rolls and Other Marks
of Recognition of Good Work Have
Been Instltuted-"Order Of
the Red Spot"

To encourage loyalty among the
employees and to inspire them to see
and live UP to their opportunities, the
Erie railroad has installed system OF
prizes, honor rolls and other marks OF
recognition, and this system has ap-
parently resulted in a revolutionary
improvement in discipline and etfl-
cheney, according to Popular Mechan-
les. One of the most pronounced
marks of recognition is membership
in the Order of the Red Spot, to which
only locomotive engineers are eligible,
and for which the requirements are
general efficiency in the handling OF
the locomotive. An engineer who has
made record emitting him to mem
bership Is allowed to have a red spot
painted on the front of his locomotive
as a background for the disk carrying
the engine number. AS further rec
ognitiOn of men having the longest
record of competent service one eng1-
neer on each division Is allowed to
have his name painted in gold letters
on the cab Of his locomotive. The
honor roll, designed for the benefit OF
all classes of employees, Is a system of
credit marks given for special acts of
diligence and observation, as, for ex-
ample, the discovery Of a broken rail.
These credits do not determine the
advancement Of the recipient, but have
weight when any charges are made
against him. Substantial rewards In
money are given for efficiency in main
tanning track. The railroad is divided
into three grand divisions, and these
are subdivided, each subdivision being
in charge of supervisor. At the end
Of each working season an inspection
car goes over the entire system, TAX
ing record of the physical condition
of the track, and this, combined with
the cost of maintenance, determines
the award Of prizes. On each grand
division prizes are awarded to the two
supervisors making the best record,
while smaller prizes are awarded to
two section foremen on each of the
subdivisions.

A Good Shot.

A San Franciscan, who had been
hunting in the vicinity of Lake Tahoe
without bagging any game, came upon
a mountaineer who was feeding a
Gagged wildcat he had caught the day
before.
How much will you take for that
beast?" he asked.
The captor said SIS, and the money
was paid over.
Now said the Nimrod, cite one
end OF a strong cord to that tree and
another to the cats neck, and then
open the door of the cage"
This was finally accomplished and
the fierce animal stood straining at its
tether.
The sportsman, who was watching
the exercises from the interior of the
cabin, leveled his rife across the win
dow sill, took careful aim and blazed
away. The wildcat gave a joyful yell
and disappeared in the forest. The
bullet had cut the rope.

sALIDA-GUNNIsoN HIGHWAY.
Road Over Cochetopa Pass to Open
New State Highway.

Denver.-Constructi work on the
new link in the Salida-Gunnison high
way leading over Cochetopa Pass is
nearing completion, reports the road
engineer of the forest service upon his
return to Denver headquarters. The
road crew at work on strip eight and
a half miles in length over the pass
is making excellent progress, and with
favorable weather conditions should
finish the road before winter sets in.
This new link, covering distance of
sixteen miles, is a cooperative pro-
ject between Saguache county and the
forest service, each party sharing
equally the cost of construction. Work
was begun last year, at which time
three miles was put through, outside
OF the boundary of the Cochetopa for
est by the county commissioners, and
four and half miles was built inside
the forest under the supervision of the
forest officers.
According to the road engineer, this
strip is double track roadbed and fol-
lows a. natural water grade, on a
southern exposure, through the forest
thus eliminating any need for large
bridges. The average maximum grade
is but six per cent, Of which there is
not more than three miles in the ag-
gregate. the remaining portion of the
road consisting of easy grades. By
reason of the low elevation, absence Of
steep grades, and the open country
through which it passes, it is expected
that the Cochetopa Pass road will
form one of the best and most trav-
eled state highways across the conti-
mental divide.

Metallic Tapes on Third-RaiI Lines

Surveyors on railroads operated by
third rail should use metallic tapes
with discretion or avoid their use en-
tirely. While danger Of contact with
the third rail is imminent, the more
frequent accidents seem to arise from
leaving such tapes between the rails
while trains pass over. These tapes
are often picked up by the armatures
of the motors, particularly where
gearless motors are used, with result
ing damage to property.-Electric
