kota and Vicinity.

Ethan.-To run down and kill a wolf
with his racing automobile vas the
feat performed by Joseph f. Neu-
heuse, a prominent resident of Hutch
tnson county, who lives some miles
south of Ethan. He was travelling
over a highway near the Missouri
river In the darkness of the early eve
ming, when he noticed a wolf Looping
along the road in front of the car.
The wolf was discovered just as the
car came swiftly around a curve The
headlight appeared to daze the ami
NAL. which, instead of making its
way to one side of the road, continued
trotting along directly ahead of the
car. Taking this as a challenge for
a test of speed the driver of the auto
opened out his machine and gradually
~overhauled the wolf. Soon the front
of the automobile touched the bushy
tail Of the animal, and after a final
burst of speed the automobile again
steadily approached the wolf, which
at last disappeared under the car.
Stopping his automobile the driver dis
covered that the wolf was just gasp
ing its last, the back of the animal
having been broken when the car ran
upon it.
Neuheuse brought the carcass to
town as evidence of his prowess as a
driver of a racing car, and will have
the skin mounted.

tendents-Special Equipment.

The utility of the wireless tele-
graph in directing the movements of
ships at sea, in communication to
and from ships and in calling for help
in emergencies has been strikingly
demonstrated, but it remained for IN
enterprising American railroad to ap-
ply wireless communication to and
from moving trains. says the Scien-
titic American. A test has just been
made successfully on an eastern rail-
road on a regular express train run
ming between New York city and Buff
falo, though only a partial test in the
experiments thus far conducted. has
shown immense possibilities Of safety
and time saving by insuring that trains
will always be in communication at
any speed and at any distar &c from
stations, regardless of Zine breaks"
from winter billiards or frc.n wash
outs, fog which obscures 81 snals and
other extraordinary conditions.
In the ordinary wireless telegraph
system messages are sent and re-
ceived between stations equipped with
%antennae or "aerias" supported On
high towers. The road has stations of
this kind at Scranton, Pa, and Bling
hamton, N. Y, with a working radius
Of about 800 miles. But, Of course, 1t
is out of the question to place any
structure such as an ordinary aerial
on q railroad train which has to pass
through tunnels and under bridges,
and a prominent feature of these tests
is the use Of a highly special aerial for
the train installation. Some very re-
cent experiments. notably those con
Quoted on November 81 and %, have
demonstrated that wireless communi-
cation can be maintained to and from
a train equipped with a very low ae-
rial, viz, a quadrangle Of wire sup
ported at a height OF only Is
inches above the roof Of the car. The
distance between Scranton and Bing-
hamton is about IS miles, and in the
experiments just made it was found
possible to maintain communication
from a train running at IS miles per
hour, part Of the time, direct from the
train to the fixed station away from
which the train vas speeding; and
when the train had proceeded to a
point too far away for its short aerial
to force signals through to this first
station direct, the signals were de-
livered to the station by being pick.
ed up at the second station and relay
ed back. At no time during the tests
was the train out Of communication
with both stations in this way.

Railroad Problem In Court.

When is a locomotive tender not a
tender and when does it become a
plain car? Should the locomotive end
Of the tender be considered a car,
just as the far end has been SO con-
sidered. or Is the entire tender a ten
der only? These are interesting ques-
tons that have been brought to the
United States Supreme court for de-
cision.
The courts already have held that
the far end OF the tender is a car
within the meaning OF the safety appli-
ance act, requiring the use Of automat.
ic couplers EeLween cars, and between
cars and e ;omotives. Upon the de-
cision IN the present case depends
whether Mrs. Mary G. Pennell, widow
OF Jay A. Pennell, will recover from
the Phila delphia & Reading Railway
company for his death.

RECORD BELONGS TO BOSTON
Busiest Railroad Terminal IN the
Country 10 the South Station,
Located There.

The busiest railroad terminal in this
country is the South station OF Boston.
Mass, which handles more trains, pas
sengers, baggage and mail a day than
any other station. The largest rail
road station In this country in point
of size is the recently complete Grand
Central terminal in New York city.
These two stations are at the terminal
of the New York New Haven & Hart
ford railroad, which railroad shares
the former station with the Boston &
Albany railroad, and the latter with
the New York Central railroad. The
total number of passengers in and
out Of the South station from July
1912, to June. 1913, exceeded TWEEN
ty-eight million; the number In and
out OF the Grand Central exceeded
twenty-five million. Almost twice as
many trains are handled each day at
the South station as at the Grand
Central, but the number Of cars a
train is greater at the latter. In spite
OF this tremendous traffic, the passen-
ger facilities of the Grand Central are
far from taxed; although at the pres
emit time about 81 900 persons use
It daily, when completed the station
will have capacity to handle seventy
thousand an hour. Twenty-one tracks
have still to be completed at this sta
ton, whereas at the South station In
Boston all the tracks are now In use.

ban loop tracks, whose operation must

and the officials of the college.

ington says:
"Of course the trip will be a sort OF
a recreation for the boys, but aside
from that it will be an educational af.
fair to the last degree. Through the
courtesy of the faculty of the stat.
college we have been assured every
assistance possible. Soils and crops
will be studied right out on the expert.
mental fields. There some OF the ex-
periments of the utmost Importance
to the state are being carried on and
the boys will learn the results from
actually seeing what is going on. We
will study live stock and dairying by
using some Of the best types of these
different animals found in the state
as object lessons. We will also study
horticulture and fruit growing, also
horses, sheep and swine using the col.
lege herd and flocks as text.
During one of the days that the
boys are in camp an automobile train
will be run from Codington county to
Brookings and all people who have
cars will be invited to join. Lectures
and demonstrations will be given and
the college thrown open for inspection.
Auto wner should count in joining
the tour, for they will find the college
a pleasant place to visit. An attempt
will be made by the B. F. A. to meet
most II not all of the expenses of the
boys camp. One boy from each school
outside the city of Watertown will be
selected for the trip. Scholarship and
industry will form the basis of selec.
ton"
