OF all machines that serve us, not

equaled the locomotive in working out,
endlessly, change after change for the

yet our swiftest engines today-the
"camel backs"-are already a type as
good as doomed. In seeking power,
invention has pushed invention till in
these tandem-built Mallets, you see
the frame not only long, but jointed,
for ease on curves; you see steam not
only made with utmost saving of fuel,
but also baked above it's natural heat.
This superheated steam you see ap-
piled in huge cylinders, twice, first on
high pressure, then on low. You see

push coal toward him or even to feed
it into the frebox. You see an en-

'N0vEL USE OF TANK CAR
Stationed on Incline to Supply Water
to Engines Employed in Line
Construction Work.

During the construction of an cleo.
tric-transportation line between Mont
real and CRANKY, Que, a rather ingen-
ious water tank was improvised to
serve the steam locomotives which
were temporarily in use. A spur was
made by laying track to the top of a
short incline, erected with trestle tim
bers, at one side of the main line. A
tank car was run onto this and it's
wheels blocked. An old steam shovel,
which lacked its crane and dipper, was
also pushed onto the spur and con-
nected by pipes with both the tank and
a pump that was installed at a nearby
brook. In this way water was pumped
to the container as needed. A large
pipe provided with a manual valve
served to convey water from the reser.
voir. Engines needing water were
driven alongside the tank and filed

Fish and Game Laws.


NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Titcomb
has mailed to the holders of fishing
and hunting licenses of last year
a circular letter explaining the fish
and game laws, and especially the
conditions in the game laws about
which there seems to be more or
less misunderstanding He makes
an appeal for cooperation and urges
the closing of small tributary
streams which contain trout that do
not ordinarily attain legal size I'M
til they have dropped down into the
larger waters. The present law au-
thorizes the commissioner to close
such streams, but it cannot be done
without the written consent of the
owners. Short term closing Of
streams has not been found advan-
tageous. The commissioner closes
his circular by stating that any per-
sons desiring to be kept on the mall
Ing list use the postal card which he
enclosed for their present address.
1t is his intention send a copy
of the biennial report, now in course
Of preparation, to every person who

STUDENTS IN PULLMAN JOBS
Company Goes to College Conductors
for Help During the Vaca-
ton Season.

Many persons going to the White
mountains this summer, or to Allan
tic City, or points in New England,
had their tickets inspected and
punched by young men who, after Sep
TENDER 10, will be found in Yale, Har-
ward, Princeton and the University of
Pennsylvania. About 70 students from
these institutions were employed to
act as Pullman conductors on the
great eastern lines, where the annual
travel from the cities in the hot sea-
son is especially heavy.
This is the first time in 16 years
that the company has gone to col
leges for help. The move, it is ex-
planned, is not due to scarcity of APP
plicants, but to the fact that under
graduates are peculiarly fitted for
summer employment and can return to
their books when the rush Is over. A
representative of the company visited
Princeton to engage students. The
other universities have their own
employment agencies through which
applications were received. The rs
began work the first of June and will
receive SIT month.
"There is always a demand for ex-
ira conductors during June, July, Au-
gust and up to the middle of Septem-
ber," an official explained, according
to the New York Tribune. "Many con-
ductors who work in the South in the
winter are brought North each season.
but there are not enough of them to
meet the demand. BY engaging stu
dents who want to earn money during
the vacation season the company will
escape having large number of men
on its hands after the summer travel
is over. Most of the students who
have been engaged reported at New
York city, Philadelphia and Boston,
which are known as the summer Of
fees. There is very little travel in
the summer, comparatively speaking,
in the middle West, and there was no
need to employ students there. Stu
dents from colleges and universities
were employed as conductors 16 years
ago, bat this was the first time since
that the experiment has been renewed"

New Railroads for Mexico.

Eight corps of civil engineers are
now in the field in Mexico preparing
for the extension and building of rail
roads by the government, according to
an announcement made by department
Of communication. Work is now beins
actively pushed on an extension line
from Lo De Mena, Durango, to Con
ception Del Orc, connecting with the
line running south from Saltillo, t.
open rich mining country. The engi
neers are now surveying for five-milt
tunnel through the mountains in the
Mazapil district.
A new line is being built southeast
from Saltillo to Orteaga, which will
tap rich agricultural districts. About
ID miles Of this line has been com
pleted.

From Weekly News Letter.)
Fruit for use in pies or salads or
as stewed fruit can be put up or
canned without the use of any sugar
at all, according to the canning spe-
cialists of the United States depart
ment of agriculture. They, therefore,
advise those who, because of the high
price of sugar, have been thinking of
reducing the amount of fruit they put
up, to can as much of their surplus as
possible by the use of boiling water
when sugar sirup is beyond their
means. Any fruit, they say, may be
successfully sterilized and retained in
the pack by simply adding boiling wa
ter instead Of the hot strip. The use
of sugar, Of course, is desirable in
the canning of all kinds of fruits and
makes a better and ready sweetened
product. Moreover, most Of the fruits
when canned in water alone do not
retain their natural flavor, texture, and
color as we'll as fruit put up in strip.
Fruit canned without sugar to be used
for sauces or desserts must be sweet
ened.
Can the product the same day 1t is
picked. Gull, stem, or seed, and clean
the fruit by placing it in strainer
and pouring water over it until it is
clean. Pack the product thoroughly
10 glass jars or tin cans until they are
full; use the handle of a tablespoon,
ing purposes. Pour over the fruit
boiling water from a kettle, place rub
bers and caps in position, partially
seal if using glass jars, seal complete
~ if using tin cans. Place the con-
ta!ners in a sterilizing vat, such as
wash boiler with false bottom, or
other receptacle iIaprovised for the
purpose. If using a hOt-water bath
outfit, process for 80 minutes; count
time after the water has reached the
boiling point; the water must cover
the highest jar in the container. After
stPriliZing remove packs, seal glass
jars, wrap In paper to prevent bleach
ing, and store in a dry, cool place.
If you are canning in tin cans it will
improve the product to plunge the cans
quickly into cold water Immediately
after sterilization. When using steam
pressure Gamer instead Of the hot
water bath, steriIize for ten minutes
with five pounds of steam pressure.
Never allow the pressure to go over
ten pounds.
