THAT the trend of the time is toward
the electrificatiOn of all steam railroads
is evidenced by the announcement that
definite plans have been completed and
contracts signed for the operation of
113 miles of the Chicago, Milwaukee &
ST. Paul Railway by electric power.
The turbulent rivers of Idaho and Mon
tana are to be yoked to powerful tur-
bine water wheels and huge electrical
generators. The electrical power gen.
Grated in this way will be transmitted
for long distance across country to the
railroad where it will take the place of
steam in hauling passenger and freight
trains over the mountains. The ST.
Paul's project proposes the electrical
ton of its Puget Sound line between
Harlowton, Mont, and Avery, Idaho,
distance of 440 miles. This takes in
that portion of the line penetrating the
Rockies, the Big Belts and the Bitter
Root Mountains The first installation
Of 113 miles will be between Three
Forks and Deer Lodge, Mont, and men
are now at work erecting poles along
this stretch. 1t is expected that the
entire project will be completed by 1918.
All this work involves the expenditure
of approximately $13, 900, 900, and the
electrical construction work will pro-
coed at the rate of about So, 900, 900 an
nually. This program foreshadows the
electrification of the entire road from
Harlowton to the Pacific coast, main
line distance in the aggregate Of $50
miles.

John Bull.


"John Bull" a popular epithet for
an Englishman, as personification of
what is supposed to be the English
type, is derived from a prose political
satire by DR.. John Arbuthnot, who
used the name in his History of John
Bull" Q712, reprinted complete in
"Pope's Miscellanies" in 1928. The
subject of that history is the Spanish
succession during the reigns of Queen
Anne and Louis XIV" Queen Anne is
Mrs. Bull
John Bulls mother" is the church
of England, and "John Bulls sister
Peg is the Scotch nation, represented
as in love with Jack Calvin. The de-
scription Of Bull is so close to the
familiar figure in the pages OF Punch
that q sentence or two may be quoted:
Bull in the main was an honest and
plain dealing fellow, choleric, bold and
Of a very inconsistent temper. He
dreaded not old Lewis NOuis XIV,
either at back sword, single falchion
or cudgel play, but then he was very
apt to quarrel with his best friends,
especially if they pretended to govern
him. If you f1attered him you might
lead him as a child"

PoouIar Poverty,

Katie, aged seven. was the only child
of Mr.. and Mrs. Jones. One day. when
the new minister called Katie, upon
her own invitation, went into the par
lor to entertain him until her mother
came down stairs. AS she approached
the parlor door, Mrs. Jones heard the
minister ask Katie how many children
her mother had, and was very much
surprised to hear her little daughter
reply six"
Her mother wisely made no comment
upon the startling reply of the child,
but sent her out to play, and when the
minister's visit was over she asked
Katie why she had told him that her
mother had six children, and was more
dumfounded than ever when Katie
said, Because, 1 did not want the
strange gentleman to know that you
were so poor that you didn't have but
one child" National Monthly.

Swine In Old London.

We hear much today of the dangers
of the London streets, but the inhab-
itants are spared some OF the perils OF
an earlier age. The calendar of coro-
ners' rolls for the city tells how the
many swine wandering about the
streets were once London's greatest
nuisances. In 1922 an inquest was held
on a child who was attacked in her
cradle by a pig which had wandered
in through the open door OF her par
ents' shop. And little earlier letters
patent were issued to an infant who
lost an ear from the same cause. The
letters certified the cause Of the acct
dent, lest later on the uncharitable
should say that the ear had been cut
off in the pillory by the knife of the
Iaw.-London Spectator.

An Efficiency Recipe.

. Be earnest. but be calm. no matter
what happens. A man may learn to
treble his days work by Systematically
shutting out all feeling during office
hours. What fatigues and annoys us
is not our work, but the mental fric-
ton, nervous strain, muscular tension.
emotional wear and tear which we al
low to accompany our work. y real
man is always a machine while on the
job, never a machine at any other time.
Recipe for efficiency: Be a plodder by
day and a poet by night. Do your
planning, your dreaming, your resOlv-
ing, when silence and solitude open the
mind for great thoughts and purposes;
then appear to the world just as an or
binary business man, with nothing
unique about you to rouse the neigh
bors' suspicions.-New York Independ-
ent.

SPEAKING of the large amount of leg
islation which has been directed against
all successful investment of capital,
ex-President William H. Taft, in an
address delivered recently at the found
alton day exercises of the Indiana uni
versity at Bloomington, said: "The
close and absolute supervision over the
management of railroads and the re-
striction upon the rates that are charg-
ed kby them in interstate commerce
within states, together with the in
crease or maintenance of wages through
the power of the trades unions, have
ground the railroads between the upper
ard neither millstones and prevented
fair return upon their capital. We are
all in the same boat. The prosperity
of each class is largely dependent upon
the prosperity of all. We must grant
increased rates to the railroads when
the conditions require it, and grant
them quickly. Their prosperity is i'm
pOrtant to the prosperity Of the cOun-
try. We should repeal the full crew
bills that impose upon the railroad
companies the burden of employing I'M
necessary labor, an exaction due to the
undue and unjust influence exercised
by the trade unions over legielation. I"

Do LIGHTNING rods protect? This IS
a question we are asked more frequent
ly than any other. From experience
and investigation we answer emphat-
ically in the affirmative, providing the
rods are of good moterial, properly in
stalled, and grounded to permanent
moisture. This is also the conviction
of all other fire marshals, of scientists,
and insurance men. The state fire
marshal reports that during the last
fiscal year we had reported to us 451
lightning fires in unrodded buildings,
with a loss of 1886, 485, and 10 such
fires in rodded buildings, with loss of
$40, 435. In most of these 10 cases the
lack of protection could be traced to
defective installation, especially insult
ficient grounding.

neved of the agonies caused by weak,
