HAD THE PROOF RIGHT THERE
Railroad Mans Assertion as to Dam
gers of That Section Of Track
Obviously True.

A number of San, Francisco persons
on a Southern Pacific train were be-
Ing whirled through the mountains
toward Santa Cruz when thrilling in
cident of the great forest fire that
had ragged for a week in Zayante
canyon occurred.
1T is strange what startling things
have happened along this section of
the road" railroad man was telling
fair passenger as they viewed the
blackened, ash-strewn district that ex-
tended as far as the eye could reach
from the train. at was just at this
curve that locomotive and its crew
were sent hurtling down into that
deep canyon when a section of the
undermined roadbed gave way. No.
no lives were lost but"
The narrative was interrupted by
the grinding of wheels as the engi-
neer applied the emergency brakes.
Passengers who had been standing up
sat down as the train suddenly
stopped, and those who had been
seated stood up.
The cause of the sudden stop soon
became apparent. An immense red
wood tree that had been partly burned
throurh near the ground had fallen
squarely across the tracks. The vigi-
lance of the engineer had prevented
a terrible disaster.
f'Yes," admitted the fair passenger.
strange things do certainly happen
on this line

NEAR DISASTER IN TUNNEL
Presence of Mind of Spanish Brake
man All That AVerted Terrible
Catastrophe.

A strange story was brought to Cor
una by a train which arrived there
recently, says a Madrid (Spain) dis
patch. The train entered the Oural
tunnel, but gradually slackened speed,
until it stopped, and then began to
run backwards. The brakeman, Pablo
Garcia, was surprised that the train
did not stop, although he promptly ap-
piled the brakes. He then proceeded
towards the locomotive and found the
driver and ~stoker both unconscious,
having fallen victims to the dense sui
phuric fumes within the tunnel.
1t was a critical moment, because
the passengers were beginning to feel
the same symptoms of asphyxia, and
terrible catastrophe was feared. Gar
cha then mounted the locomotive and
finding that there was sufficient steam
pressure managed to get the train in
motion, while the driver and fireman
were transferred to a carriage and at
tended to.
They were left at the next sta
ton, Monforte, without having recov-
cred consciousness. The tunnel in
question is nearly two miles, long

PREPARE EGGS FOR MARKET
Several Excellent Little Hints That
VIII Tend Greatly to Increase
Profits From Poultry.

Provide clean, dry hay or straw or
a suitable material for the nests. re-
new the material frequently and al
ways when it becomes wet and soiled.
Collect eggs every day shortly be-
fore noon, or preferably at noon and
at dusk. 1t is especially advisable
when hens are broody to collect
twice daily.
On no account should eggs which
have been found by chance in nests
in the open during harvest time or
any other time be mixed with those
intended for market. Any such eggs
which are not fit for consumption
should be thrown out.
Any dirt on the egg when it is
collected should be removed by means
of a dry cloth, or IL that method fails
slightly dampened, but not wet
cloth, should be used. Do not wash
hen eggs nor put them in water, nor
use any chemical to remove the dirt.
Eggs should always be kept dry.
Contact with wet material or ex-
posture to moisture causes them to
go bad quickly; therefore, eggs when
taken to market should be protected
from the wet by suitable coverings.
Keep eggs in cool, dry place away
from Objectionable odors.
Reserve the small eggs for home
and market the best and largest.
Put clean, dry hay in the basket or
box used for packing eggs for mar
ket and pack carefully.

South African Railroads.

Those who may have taken notice
from year TO year of the progress of
the great Dominion of Canada and
have failed to keep an eye on South
Africa may note with some surprise
that the latter, with an area of less
than a half million square miles, has
a third as much mileage in railroads
as the former, with more than seven
times that area. They no longer do
much trekfng by OK power in the
union of South Africa The throttle
and the piston have taken the place
of the sjambok and disselboom in
that land Of gold. diamonds, wool, os-
tr1ch feathers and a score more items
Of important exports, including, in the
fast year reported upon, SITE, 900, 900
of gold, s41, 100000 in diamonds, $780,
900, 900 in wool, $4,000 in feathers,
$6,0O0,0 900 in hides and skins-a coun-
try that exports annually twice as
much in values as it imports. The
railroads are important down there
and the triumph of syndicalism in the
general strike which the government
recently nipped in the bud would have
been a serious Setback for industry
and commerce, apart from the danger
Gus possibility of black uprising.

CHILEAN Sail Railway.

A remarkable railway is that be-
tween Antofagasta and Orouro in
Chile. An engineer in charge of some
important government coast improve
ments took advantage of the trade
winds which prevail in these regions.
Finding that during several hours in
the morning and evening there was a
stiff breeze blowing he had a large
number of fair sized box cars built
which not only accommodated the
men coming and going from work, but
also proved amply sufficient to trans
port the material needed for construc-
t1on of the works. Each car Is pro
vided with a good sized sail-there is
no other propelling force. The speed
Is regulated by the manipulation of
brakes and to prevent accidents large
buffers are provided. On account of
its cheapness and practical worth the
idea OF sail railways has become pop
ular and a number are now being In
stalled between many small towns,
along the coast where the trade winds
blow with clocklike regularity. The
average speed attained by these
strange craft is about thirty to forty
miles an hour.

sudanese Railroads,

There are now 1900 miles of rail-
road in the Sudan. Through the com-
pIetion OF the line from Wadi Ralfa
in the north through the desert to
Khartum, distance Of $50 miles, and
the establishment of comfortable ex-
press steamers on the Nile between
Shellal on the southern boundary of
Egypt and Wadi Halfa it Is now posi-
BILE to make the journey from London
to Khartum In nine and one-half to
ten days. Khartum, with a popula-
ton of 10000, is the center Of both
the official and commercial life of the
Sudan, containing the palace of the
governor-general, the residences of
many high officials, and the central
administrative buildings The city is
laid out on modern lines, with broad
avenues and streets, and has electric
lights and a good water system. Su-
dan is the chief source of the worlds
supply of two important products,
gum arabic and ivory. Formerly the
ivory gathered in the far South was
shipped through British East Africa,
but the development of the Sudan has
turned the trade to the North.

The veterans munched their sand
witches calmly, and calmly drank their

marked to bystander with wink:
"A queer thing about old soldiers

During the first year the amateur

which were confined in coops, were
languishing at the point of death. The
novelist went over his hen literature
to locate the cause of his trouble, but
to no avail. Finally he called upon a

ton: What do you suppose is the
matter with those chickens?" well,

AMBULANCE ON RAILS
CAR BUILT IN PHILADELPHIA FOR
BRAZILIAN CITY.
Designed for Quick Transportation of
Patients to and From Hospitals
Perfect Disinfecting Chamber
Part of Equipment.

The ambulance shown in the illus
tration Is the first of its kind ever
built and was designed and made by a
well known firm of car builders in
Philadelphia for a company in Bahia,
Brazil. The car is designed for the
transportation of patients to and from
the outlying hospitals about the city
that cannot be easily reached by other
means.
There are five divisions, including
first the nurses rooms, adjoining which
may be seen the two compartments
for the patients. In the center of the
car a small area has been converted
into fumigation room. This room is
feet 115s inches long and extends
the full width of the car, /. e., eight
feet, as do the other compartments.
The disinfecting room is Theoretically
sealed from other portions of the car
with the exception of a small hole in
each transverse wall, through which
the fumigation process takes place.
The hospital compartments accom-
modate two iron beds each, which are
equipped with rubber tired rollers,
springs and the regular mattresses.
These beds can be pulled out upon an
extension of the car floor formed by
the lowering Of one side of the car.
When the compartments are closed
light is secured through two double
paneled wire glass windows, one over
each bed. Air is admitted through a
small ventilating hole placed under
meath each bed
The nurses rooms, one of which ad-
joins each hospital compartment, are
furnished with metal medicine chests
and revolving chairs and have small
door opening into the room holding
the beds
Every precaution has been taken to
prevent infection on the part of the
crew, a steel bulkhead with no open
ings of any kind separating their COM
partment from other portions of the
car and even the ordinary signal bells
with cords have been dispensed with,
electric bells with push buttons taking
their place-Popular Electricity

MARX FOR SOLDIERS, GRAVES
United States Government Provides
Iombstones Free and Pays
Freight to Destination.

The United States government has
provided 100000 markers for the
graves of soldiers. From two marble
quarries, one at Lee, Mass, and one
at Rutland, VT. all these tombstones
have been taken. Lee has furnished
100000 markers in the last 35 years
and is turning out gravestones at the
rate of 10000 a year.
Each marker Is three feet long, one
root wide and four inches thick and
weighs zoo pounds. Just under the
rounded top is outlined an inlaid
shield and within this is cut the name,
age, company. rank and regiment of
the soldiers, sailor or marine whose
grave it is to mark.
The stones are shipped usually by
the carload to certain distributing
points named by the war department.
For the New England states Boston
Is the distributing place, New York
for the middle states, Chicago for the
middle west, while Denver, San Fran
cisco, Atlanta and Houston, Tex, are
other points of shipment.
Washington has received the great
est number of these markers. Thou
sands have been set up in Arlington
and other government cemeteries.
Not only does the government fur
nish the tombstone free, but 1t pays
the freight to it's destination. All that
has to be done when the stone has
been delivered is to have it carried to
the grave from the freight Office and
set up. Many Grand Army posts look
after this.
Hundreds of stones have been sup
piled to mark the graves of women
nurses who served in the Civil war
Nearly all the applications come in
the names of privates or sailors.
Occasionally there is found the name
of line officer and there have been
occasions when the grave Of a staff
officer has been marked. Two gener-
ais and perhaps half dozen colonies
are buried in cemeteries of the United
States and have over their grave the
small white stones provided by the
government.

President Wilson has by pro-

October 4, as a day for offering
prayers for peace in Europe. At
the commencement of the war
Emperor William of Germany
asked that his people pray for
the success of the German army
and the Car of Russea asked
that his people pray for the suc-
cess of Russian arms. With no
intention of belittling the efficacy
of prayer, suppose that the be-
ligerents should pray on October
4th for a continuance of the
struggle until their respective
sides had won a glorious victory.
what would the Almighty do
with such a confusion of peti-
tions?
