TESTING A FREIGHT CAR.
Shower Baths Are Used For Detectin!
\ saku PooSsS <. 4

Shower Baths Are Used For Detecting
Lsaky Roofs. -
Shower baths for freight cars? Ger
tainly. Treating the cars to good
bath every now and then is the method
which railroads have devised to pre-
vent having to pay for freight dam
aged while in transit by water leaking
through the car roofs.
To detect IL leak in the roof of a
freight car before it has caused any
damage to the goods inside Is no easy
matter. Previous to the introduction
of the shower baths for cars railroads
frequently had to pay heavy bills for
damage caused by roofs which were
supposedly in the best of condition.
To overcome this difficulty on several
large railroad systems every car Is
given at regular intervals Il severe test
for leaks by means of shower baths.
The bathing apparatus Is rugged over
track along which the car is run at
slow speed. Enormous volumes of wa
ter are poured upon the car and with
such force that water will find Its way
inside If there is any fault in the roof,
sheathing or ends.
As soon as the car energies from the
bath inspectors examine it carefully
and mark with chalk any signs OF
leaks.
A car thus marked is sent to the
shop to be made waterproof. Before II
Is sent out to resume its work it is sub
jected to second shower bath to de
termine whether the repairs hive been
satisfactorily matle.-Ncw York Ameri

The Aurora Borealis.

Many people believe that the aurora
borcalis is a phenomenon peculiar to
modern times. But this is not true.
The ancients used to call it chasmata,
bolides and TRADES. names which eX-
pressed the different colors of the
lights. The scarlet aurora was looked
upon by the superstitiOus barbarians
AS an omen of direful slaughter; so it
is not unusual for descriptions of
bloody battles to contain illusions to

CHRISTMAS DREAMS.

~oME tiny elves one Christmas

And started forth to peddie them adown

Oh, you would never, never guess how
queerIy these dreams sold. .-'~
Why, nearly all the younger folk bought

gentle little thing, ..-
Invested in a dream about an awful pi
rate king. $50 :''
A maid who thought her pretty name
old fashioned and absurd
Bought dreams. of names the longest
and the queerest ever heard,
And, strange to say, lad who owned
all sorts of costly toys
Bought dreams of selling papers with
! the raggedest of boys.
And then a dream of summer and a
barefoot boy at play >'.-.. .
Was bought up, very quickly by gen.
tIeman quite gray ..-u. .~:,
And one old lady, smiling through the
grief she tried to hide,
Bought bright and tender visions of a
