CINDERS KEEP THEM WARM.

ina Conducted by Penn Road.

Beaver Falls. pa.-The Pennsylvania
Railroad company has been making a
fill of the Beaver river between New
Brighton and Rochester with the inten-
ton OF changing its main line between
the two points to eliminate long
curve. The fill requires hundreds of
carloads of cinders. which are loaded
into the cars while red hot. When I'M
loaded they retain the heat for days.
This has made the place winter re-
sort for hObOes. At all hours the en-
tire embankment a mile or more in
length, sWarms with a heterogeneous
crowd of old and young men, who eat,
drink, make merry and sleep.
On the hot cinders the tramps make
coffee and cook the fruits of fOraging
parties When sleepy they scoop out a
bed in the warm ashes and after care
fully removing the clinkers burrow
down in the yielding mass and sleep in
comparative comfort on the coolest
nights. with only their heads visible

WHEAT 1000 YEARS OLD.
Came From Ruins In Egypt, but Is
Kept In Texas.

Dallas, Tex.-When the late John
CardWell Of Austin was United States
consul at Cairo, Egypt, he sent to his
old friend. Colonel T. ?. Holland of
Dallas, small quantity Of wheat that
he had taken from the tomb Of one of
the ancient kings in newly explored
ruins upon the banks Of the Nile.
This wheat was known to be more
than 1900 years old. The glass con-
tainer which holds the grain is her
meticaIly sealed. To all outward ap-
pearances the wheat is just as sound
as the day it was flayed from the head
in the long ago, when the earth was in
habiteI by civilization that is now
forgotten. The grains are plump and
large.
81 have been told that the grains
would probably terminate if planted,
but | have never tried any of them"
Colonel Holland said.
