"somethino Else Beautiful"

A little girl named Hilda and her
mother stood one cold winter morn
ing looking out upon the landscape,
in which everything was covered with
an icy armor that sparkled with gilt
tering beauty in the sunshine.
ooh, how beautiful" exclaimed
Hilda.

will be all gone before noon time"
The little girl was quiet for a mo-
ment as she gazed upon the fairylike
scene that lay stretched out before
her. Then she looked up and said
brightly, Never mind, mother;
there'll be something else beautiful to-
morrow"
What a charming thought was ut
tered by that little girl in those
words! What comfort it is to know
that though some beautiful things may
pass away, God will send others just
as beautiful to take their place.-Se-

Dancers of the CITY Streets.

There will be surprise that the
deaths by automobile accidents in
Philadelphia reached the high-water
mark during 1914. The total, so far,
is fixed at SO, which is higher than
in any year since the automobile has
come into general use. On the other
hand, SO persons were killed by troll
ley car accidents, as against IS in
1913. During the year we have had
quite campaign in the interest of
the safety first movement, and it
was fondly expected that there would
be a decrease in fatal accidents all
along the line. That this is not the
case is probably as much the fault of
pedestrians as of the drivers of cars.
In any event the figures for the year
show the need of further education
along the lines of self-protection and

BOY HAS ONE GRAND VOYAGE
Little Trip to End of Boats Chain
Made Deeper impression Than
Trip Round the World.

There was a boy whose father kept
a small newspaper and tobacco shop
and sent him out with the papers
every morning. One morning the boy
stopped when he came to the Old
Canal dock, where he had to deliver
a paper at the office. The dock was
full of barges of rusty scrap iron,
moored close to an old-style barken-
tine
What wouldn't l give to get into
the dockkeeper's boat he thought,
"and go on great voyage to the near
est barge!' The wish was too strong
to be put off. He ran quickly down
the steps, got into the boat, pushed
it out to the length of it's rope, three
or four yards, and then let it drift
slowly back. Each time he did this he
drew deep breath and said: That's
fine; might be in Valp'raso harbor, at
the other end of the world"
Presently the dockman came along
eli there said he, you clear out of
that" The boy had to clear out then
and make off, but the breath of adven-
ture and the taste of the sea were on
him, and one winter night he managed
to run away and hide himself in a
cargo-boat and shipped for the Black
sea.
After that he sailed right out round
the world, and saw all it's wonders
black men, red men, yellow men, the
earthquake at ST. Pierre, the Chinese
fighting at Peking, the sharks in Della
goa bay; and once his ship ran into a
French whaler 500 miles S.S.E. from
Newfoundland and the men had to
take to the boats, and twice he was
wrecked.
Well, at the end of it all he shipped
on a steamer that was dOcked as luck
would have it at the Old Canal dock.
Next day he stood on the wharf steps
and loked at the boat.
''By gum!" he said, II have sailed
round the world and seen sights, but
never had such a grand voyage as that
took to the end of the boat chain and
back when was paper boy.

NOT FOR THE PEDESTRIAN
Warning to Keep Off the Railroad
Tracks is One That Should Be
Kept in Mind.

Only a few years ago railroad tracks
in all parts of the country were used
as convenient highways for pedes-
trians as short cuts to ''the depot"
the mill, the store or the homes of
relatives and friends. That the tracks
were not even then used in safety
hundreds of tragedies have testified,
but the danger today has increased
tenfold. 1t is now a wise man or
woman who fights shy of the use of
the railroad in any other capacity
than it's original one. Double and
quadruple tracks more frequent and
swift trains whose speed makes it un-
safe even to stand by the side of the
tracks when they go by have steadily
intensified danger. Grade crossings
have been replaced by bridges, ties
have been raised from the ground and
filed between with ballast of rough
crushed stone, everything possible has
been done to discourage walking on
the tracks and still the killing of
trespassers on the rail are annually
far in excess of the number killed in
train accidents.
Now comes climax of danger
whose warning must be needed or
there will be a serious increase of
accidents. The electrified railroad, as
the authorities give warning, is a
good place to keep away from. It
cannot be safe for pedestrians. Cur
rent three times strong enough to
kill man passes constantly over it..
It's trains are swifter and more nearly
noiseless. 1t is a highway of death
for any except its legitimate users.
The day when the railroad track was
play place for anybody is far in the
past.

IN COUNTRY OF SNOW |
VETERAN ENGINEER TELLS OF
EXCITING EXPERIENCES
Slide That Overturned Locomotive and
Plow, Causing the Death of Seven
Men-Mud and Rock Slides
as Variation.

Representative of the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers and the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen
and Enginemen held great arbitra-
ton wage convention at Medicine Hat,
Alberta, where they have to extend
the thermometer downward in winter
to register the cold. The testimony
of engineers about their runs, the
snow slides, and unavoidable long
hours has been full of interesting fea-
lures.
Willis J. Armstrong, a passenger en-
gineer on the Canadian Pacific, YER
bally conducted the railroad arbitra-
tors and the crowded court room
through the intricacies of the loop-the-
loop tunnels in the Kicking Horse
canyon country, while w. G. Johnson,
another Canadian Pacific throttle man,
piloted the audience in and out of
Medicine Hat and thence for miles
to the station of Swift Current.
Engineer Armstrong is the pilot
of ten-wheeler on run between
Kamloops and Revelstoke. His most
exciting days, however, were on the
Field-Laggan division, which he ex-
planned had been prolific of snow
slides.
I'm the winter months snow slides
are frequent" related the engineer.
"And for variation in the spring and
fall we used to have mud and rock
slides. During the average season up
there from 80 to As feet of snow falls,
and in the old days besides the obsta-
Gle of drifts we had a four and one-half
per cent grade to negotiate. Then
there was what they call the spiral
tunnel which was good deal like an
underground loop-the-loop that went
around the mountainside, one part Of
the tunnel ascending many hundred
feet perhaps above the lower division.
We frequently were held as long as
seven hours at a time by slide. but
while we were waiting the thermom-
eter would fall As or SO degrees below
zero. In several instances several
Of my men have been killed by these
slides. / remember once slide cam
upon us from the north side and
struck our engine and snow plow,
hurled the engine over and some OF
our men beneath her. Just before that
brakeman was seen running down
the track to us, yelling, Slide! Slide!'
and just as he passed us the snow
came and he was never heard from in
| this country again. The overturned
engine melted the snow, and beneath
her we found six dead bodies. was
buried in the snow myself, and when
they reached me | was seven feet
below the surface and the engineer
was found standing on my legs"

DANGERS OF DOING NOTHING
Every Boy Should Practice SeIf-Criti-
clsm-ldIeness Is One of Hab-
it's Disclosed.

The harm of doing nothing is sell
dom realized. But it means going
backward. Or, if it means floating
along to somewhere, it also means
getting soaked and heavy and finally
sinking out of sight Every boy should
adopt Secretary Redfield's advice to
business men-to practice self-criti-
cism; to find out if anything is the
matter, and then correct it, says Ohio
State Journal.
We suspect if every boy and girl
would undergo little self-examination
they would find idleness was one of
their habits. And they are apt also to
think it is an innocent habit; but it is
not; it is a dangerous habit. Remem-
ber the old saying that the devil al
ways finds something for idle hands to
do, and that something is evil always.
Now, work is not always struggle
with ones hands. 1t does not always
make one perspire and get short of
breath. If person thinks of things
that are true, if he builds up noble
ideals, if he plans enterprises of good
will, if he makes use of his spirit in
forming fine resolutions-this is not
idling.
The test for idleness is very easy.
When one wastes his time he is idle;
when he does not utilize thought and
daed to make his life better he is
idling. Teaching boy to value his
time is the best lesson that can be
given him.

cracks in Railroad Tires.

Thermal cracks in railroad tires are
attributed by the interstate commerce
commission largely to the action Of
the brakes. The tread is suddenly
heated, and the tire, expanding before
the center is affected, causes wide fuc-
tuations in the magnitude of the
shrinkage strains. Momentarily the
tire may be left with very little shrink
age resistance when there is sudden
application of the brakes. Even more
important is the fact that thermal
cracks are formed in the steel in this
manner, and the presence of these is
a menace to the integrity of the tire
They are caused by the rapid cooling
of. the intensely heated metal where
free contraction is resisted.-Scientific

Kills Three-Leqqed Antelope.

"Old Grip" the three-legged ante
ope that has been running over this
part of the country for the past three
months with one of his hind legs shot
entirely from it's body, is dead at
asst, having been killed by Deputy
Sheriff Charles Peterson, who got a
special order over the phone from
Denver to kill the animal that, since
its injury, has become almost house
hold pet for the children. He shot
the antelope on the Camfield ranch
and took the carcass to Greeley, where
it is to be skinned by George Dautch
and the hide mounted and presented
to the Elks' lodge. The killing was
done as an act of mercy to relieve it's
sufferings- -Briggsdale (Colo) Dis

just beneath the surface. AS the
periscope is but six inches in diameter
and rises but 18 inches above the
water, it is almost invisible. The rays
of light enter the opening in the side
of the, tube at the top and are reflected
downward to lens at the bottom,
which focuses them and gathers the
rays into an eye-piece through which
the operator is enabled to see what is

Slipping of Locomotive Wheels.

Attempts to overcome the slipping
difficulty experienced with locomotives
in damp weather have been recently
made in France by directing water
and steam on to the rails. Sand, it
has been shown, generally shortens the
the life of the rails By using water
or steam jets the rails are cleaned A
mere wetting of the rails is shown
to be useless. If, however, water is
applied under pressure, and the rails
thoroughly cleaned, increased adhe-
sion is secured. Special fittings are
suggested for the purpose of using
either live or exhaust steam for feed
ing the water. The fittings should be
carried by the axle of the wheels, and
not by the framing of the engine.

log runner or shoe in the center, an
auxiliary runner, which is adjustable,
and which may be raised out of the
way when coasting down grade. The
smaller runner is dropped only when
the speed declines to the point that
the sled refuses to maintain it's up
right position by reason of it's momen-
tum. The new sled will carry one or
two persons. The operator stands on
the runner and has convenient ham
die to hold and to aid him in guiding
the machine, which is done largely by
swaying the body from one side to the
other. The new style of shedding prom

German Army's Wireless.

Wireless telegraphy plays an impor-
tant part in the German army. The
thoroughness with which the Germans
have adapted the wireless to military
use is but another example of their
marvellous military efficiency. Portable
wireless telegraph outfits have been
developed that are far more compact
than those in use in other armies of
the world. The German field set is
carried in either light automobile or
on motorcycle side car. These short
range outfits will send and receive
over an average distance of thirty-ive
miles.-American Boy.

AID FOR MODERN SUBMARINE
Serve What Is Passing on Surface

The modern submarine is effective
only because those within the vessel
are able to look over the surface of
the sea in all directions, even though
the submarine is beneath the surface
of the water. The periscope makes
this possible and so it deserves to be
called the eye of the submarine. The
periscope is a straight, hollow tube

has spread throughout the professional
community and plenty of indications
have been afforded of bearish sales in

buying was being held out for the same
reason. In quiet way the recess
