ChiIian 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-
tion of the works. Each car is pro-
vided with 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
it's cheapness and practical worth the
idea of sail railways has become pop
ular and 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.

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
cia then mounted the locomotive and
finding that there was fficient steam
pressure managed to get the train in
motion, while the driver and fireman
were transferred to carriage and at
tended to. sg
They were left at the next sta
ton, Monforte, without having recov-
cred consciousness. The tunnel in
question is nearly two miles long.

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
third as much mileage in railroads
as the former, with more than seven
times that area. They no longer do
much treking 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-
trich feathers and score more items
of important exports, including, in the
last year reported upon, SITS 100000
of gold, Sal, 100000 in diamonds, $2O.-
100000 in wool, $4,000, 900 in feathers,
$6,000,000 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.

Sudanese Railroads.


There are now 1900 miles of rail
road in the Sudan. Through the COM
pletion 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 possi-
BILE to make the journey from London
to Khartum in nine and one-half to
ten days Khartum, with 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.

Uric Acid is Slow Poison

Unseen in its approach, hard to de-
tect in its early stages, and cruelty
painful in its later forms, uric acid
poisoning is a disease too often fatal.
Bright's disease is one of the final
stages of uric acid poisoning. 1t kills
in our country every year more men
and women than any other ailment
except two-consumption and pneu-
monia. Bright's disease and uric acid
poisoning usually start in some kidney
weakness that would not be hard to
cure, if discovered early, so it is well
to know the early signs of kidney dis
ease and uric poisoning.
When uric acid is formed too fast
and the kidneys are weakened by a
cold, or fever, by overwork, or by over
indulgences, the acid collects, the blood
gets impure and heavy, there is head
ache, dizziness, heart palpitation, and
a dull, heavy-headed, drowsy feeling
with disturbances of the urine.
Real torture begins when the uric
acid forms into gravel or stone in the
kidney, or crystallizes into jagged bits
in the muscles, joints or on the nerve
tubings. Then follow the awful pains
of neuralgia, rheumatism, gout, sciat-
lea, neuritis, lumbago or kidney collie.

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

The ambulance shown in the illus
tration is the first of it's kind ever
built and was designed and made by
we'll known firm of car builders in
Philadelphia for 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 small area has been converted
into a fumigation room. This room is
2 feet 115s inches long and extends
the full width of the car, i. e., eight
feet, as do the other compartments.
The disinfecting room is hermetically
sealed from other portions of the car
with the exception of 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, 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.

HAD THE PROOF RIGHT THERE
Railroad Mans Assertion as to Dan
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
a 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
through near the ground had fallen
squarely across the tracks. The vigi-
lance of the engineer had prevented
a terrible disaster.
Yes admitted the fair passenger,
strange things do certainly happen
on this line"

CLEVER WIFE
Knew How to Keep Peace in Family.

IT is quite significant, the number of
persons who get we'll of alarming
heart trouble when they let up on cof-
fee and use Postum as the beverage at
meals
There is nothing surprising about 1t,
however, because the harmful alkaloid
-caffeine-in coffee is not present in
Postum, which is made of clean, hard
wheat.
1.-TWO years ago l was having so
much trouble with my heart" writes
a lady in Washington, that at times
felt quite alarmed. My husband took
me to a specialist to have my heart
examined
"The doctor said he could find no
organic trouble but said my heart was
irritable from something l had been
accustomed to-. and asked me to try
and remember what disagreed with
me.
"I remembered that coffee always
soured on my stomach and caused me
trouble from palpitation of the heart.
So l stopped coffee and began to use
Postum. l have had no further
trouble since.
"a neighbor of ours, an old man,
was 81 1IIlIdUI0 lIOu OIIuhluS COn6S
that his wife wanted him to drink
Postum. This made him very angry,
but his wife secured some Postum and
made it carefully according to direc-
tions
"He drank the Postum and did not
know the difference, and is still using
it to his lasting benefit He tells his
wife that the coffee is better than it
used to be, so she smiles with him and
keeps peace in the. family by serving
Postum instead of coffee"
Name given by the Postum Co.,
Battle Creek, Mich.
Postum now comes in two forms:
Regular Postum = must be well
boiled. 15c and Csc packages.
Instant Postum-is a soluble pow
der. A teaspoonful dissolves quickly
in a cup Of hot water and, with cream
and sugar, makes a delicious beverage
instantly. 30c and SOC tins.

about the same.

Now the steel Box Car.

Steel box cars are coming into use
the Engineering News announces, as
companions to the steel hopper and
gondola car and the steel passenger
car First came the steel underframe
construction, then bodies and super
structures of steel. An eastern rail-
road has already over 1000 of the all
steel box cars. Apparently the prob
lem of increased weight of freight
trains is not great, although the heavy
all-steeI passenger cars offer peculiar
difficulties because of speeding trains,
