On the Bridge of Great Steamer

John A. Sieicher, In Leslie's.
 A visit to the bridge of a great steam ship is an educational treat for those who are so fortunate as to receive an invita- tion fro mits commander The Vater- land has a commodore-Hans Ruser-and four captains. The commander s voice on the bridge sounds the last word It is the ships unquestioned and uuchallenged law From his commanding point of vantage the captain surveys the sea. Tn the center of the bridge stands tie steers man. The captain patrols the bridge. watches the outlook and sees that the vessel obeys it's compass. He IS not only at the helm to guide, but he is on the bridge to direct. He may look forward, but he knows what is behind him and what is going on beneath. speedom- eter-an ingenious and compact turbine arrangement that drops Into the water from the hull-record the vessels speed on the bridge and constantly tells the dis iance it has run. Another dial reports the revolutions Of the great turbine en- zines that furnish the motor power. As watched it recorded 150 revolutions of the propellers every minute and each of these propelers measures nearly 20 feet in di- ameter and weighs 10000 pounds. The draught of the ship is always recorded on the bridge. Tubes lead from every part of tn evessel to the bridge and puffs of air come at quick intervals so that if the slightest fire breaks out the smoke at once appears to meet the captain s eye. Telephones reach in every direction and speak with loud voice so that the com mander and all his lieutenants can hear.
 While the bulkhead can be closed from below not one of them can be moved without a visible record of It's operations before the officers on the bridge and fin an emergency, they can with one stroke of leved close every bulkhead. If an electric light goes out below. the captain knows it. for little signal on the bridge tells hi moi 1t. A multitude of keys as ia amiliar to the captain as the alphabet puzzles the visitor. but every one has its

SHOWERS HELP THE
 CROPS IN LAWRENCE

Moulton, June 15.-tSpecial.)-Th local showers which have been pretty well all over Lawrence county the past week, the hot sunshine, squares are reported as forming in many places. Here and there are few fields planted late or replanted which are below the average for the season but in general the prospect is good for an excellent cotton crop.
 The corn prospect Is good, too. though much late planting has been necessary because of the long continued drouth. The oat crop. as a rule, is rather short over the county, though where fall planting was done, the results are better. perhaps double the spring sowing.

made possible by the perfect steel rail Will more than offset the higher original cost.
 II was the Pennsylvania management which, some 45 years ago, made the first test in the United States of the efficiency and adaptabilty of the steel rail to American railroad traffic. These tests were made upon a selected stretch or ID miles-of the railroad running westerly from Pittsburg to Cincinnati. J. Edgar Thomson had. while in England, been greatly impressed with the efficiency of the steel rail which the English rail- road companies at that time were begin ming to lay down. Mir. Thomson fore casts the stupendous traffic which would be offered to the Pennsylvania from the midwest consequent upon the rapid rail road construction which was character istic of the first 10 years after the close of the Civil war. He therefore bought a consignment of steel rails sufficient in amount to make a thorough test of the servicability of rails of this kind on the Pennsylvania. The tests were carried on under the eye of the late James D.. Layng and other Pennsylvania executive officers Nothing but admiration for the steel rail was expressed by those who conducted these tests. One improvement in the manner of joining the rails was rec commended. Then the Pennsylvania rail- road ordered a large consignment of steel rails which did not weigh over 80 pounds to the yard.
 Within year or two after these rails were laid the demonstration was perfect that they were adequate for the increas- ing traffic which rapid development of the midwest had brought to the Penn sylvania company. The price was high. l.. {. manufacturers would be speedily able to make high-grade steel rails at a greatly reduced cost.
 The Rails and the Traffic
 About the time the Pennsylvania rail- road was negotiating for is th WE e to equip it's main lines they were be- ginning to have at Chicago. and later at Minneapolis and St. Louis. proof that the rapid development of American agricul- ture would entail speedily the re-equip- ment of railroads so that it would be possible to haul heavy and long trains for long distances-that is to say, from the remoter wheat and corn fields--to pri- mary markets in Chicago Minneapolis. or St. Louis or the Atlantic seaboard.
 Norman B. Ream who was in Chicago when the government report which es- tablished the total wheat crop at not less than 901O0,000 bushels said this morning that a crop of that kind could not have been harvested nor could there have been such great acreage sown to wheat and other grains as the govern ment reports mentioned if it had not been for the equipment of the railroads with steel rails.
 At the time Mir Ream was a member of the Chicago Board of Trade and was occupied largely with the grain business, a time which was coincident with the pe- ried when J. Edgar Thomson was testing the steel rail and was beginning to adopt II for the Pennsylvania, the amount of grain permitted for single shipment from the west to Chicago or to Minneapolis was limited. If the commission houses caused an amount to be shipped by a single train in excess of the weight agreed upon

by the railroad they were compelled tS pay heavy extra charges.
 The reason was that the railroads which as the time were equipped with iror rails, did not deem it wise to haul heavy or long trains loaded with grain ovei their tracks. If the rails did not break
 under the pressure they were speedily worn out.
 Therefore the utilization of steel rails by railroads which penetrated into tht agricultural section was imperative il utilize rails which weigh 80 pounds to the as it could prosper If there were ade- quate transportation facilities.
 The late Abram s. Hewitt. who was fa- miliar both as stateman and a a man.
 ufacturer with the development in the west, said to the writer in the year of phenomenal crop in the early 9os that the steel rail made a crop of that kind possible.
 The steel rail of those early years. how ever, was of considerable lighter weight than the standard rail now utilized The trunk lines which have been of recent years operating very fast trains made up of heavy cars adopted the standard steel rail of 100 pounds a yard. Other railroad lines which do not operate very fast trains have been accustomed to utilize rails which weigh so pounds to the yard.
 The late President Cassett of the Penn sylvania. who foresaw such an immense development of traffic. partly due to the increased industries of the middle west and partly to the vast development of our agricultural interests. intimated in formally to some of hIs railroad friends that he believed the time was not dis tant when the great railroads of the United States-those which were occupied after the harvest season with transport ing grain from the fields to the markets would find it imperative to lay down steel rails weighing at least 120 pounds to the yard.
 The steel rail made possible the great traffic of which Seattle on the Pacific coast is the terminal and with the con tinued development If the northwest 1t is likely that heavier rails will soon be imperative. Apparently the cnly con sideration which the Pennsylvania man. agement now regards as standing in the way of immediate equipment of its main line with 120-pound steel rails is half starved condition of the leading railroads of the United States which makes it diff fiCult to secure needed funds.
