The Camas Prairie railroad
company is making a titanic ef-
fort 10 keep the prairie line clear
Of the drifting snow that has been
swept in great clouds since Mon
day morning Al 4 o'clock. The
trains were operated practically
on schedule time yesterday and
two snow plows are kept in
continuous operation between
Grangeville and Reubens TO keep
the cuts from filling. II WIS stat
ed last evening that the train will
be brought from Grangeville on
schedule time this morning unless
such conditions develop an 20 rem
der Ineffective the equipment now
ia use.
II is not the fault OF the rail-
road company that a Russell snow
pl0w is not now available for
clearing the prairie line Of driftcd
snow. Such q plow was ordered
early last Year and should have
been delivered early in the fall,
but even the orders Of she wail-
road companies have been delayed
because Of the rush on war FWuni-
tions and the last report received
was that the big plow was 70 be.
shipped last Saturday. The Rus
sell plow is the machine success
fully used By the railroad com
panies in clearing the snow from
the lines IN the Dakotas and Il Isl
stated the conditions on the prai-
rics are very similar 10 the Dako-
ias. The plow win be kept al
Reubens and will be available for
immediate use as trouble on the
prairie line develops. The plow
is guaranteed to throw snow clear
Of the right-of-way when travel
ing nc 20 miles an hour.
The new Snow on the prairie
ranges from four to seven inches
and heavy snowfall was report
ed last evening. The high wind
developed early yesterday morn
ing and continued through the
day. The two plows now in use
were ordered out early IN the
morning and have been kept in
continuous operation between
Reubens and Grangevillc. This
has enabled the company 10 keep
the line open but the construction
Of the pillow is not such as to en-
tirely clear the cuts and a con-
tinuafion Of the high wind might
result in trouble.

Many William Shakespeare.

There have been many William
Shakespeare In the past. Among the
burials In the registers Of st. Clement
Danes, In the Strand, there is the en-
try, "Jane Shackspeer, daughter Of
Willm., 8 Aug, 1909" Warwickshire
records show, among other things, that
William Shakespeare paid IS. to the
Lay Subsidy, Walton super Olde;" an
other w. S. priced the goods Of "Rob-
ert Shakesper Of Wro1aI" on March 10,
1868; another, a shoemaker Of Coyen-
try, made his will March Is, 1866;
still another William Shakespeare,
gentleman" had "his daughter Su-
sauna" (singularly enough baptized on
March IA, 1896, and yet again another
W. S., shoemaker Of Warwick, fell
into the Avon and was drowned.
These are a mere fraction Of the full

Outside the House.

How many beautiful homes on which
money has been spent lavishly to make
them complete are marred by some de-
feet In the landscape work. A few
hours motor trip through the suburbs
of almost any city In the country will
reveal many such cases. The most fire.
Quent jar the trained eye receives is
from the poorly laid out walks and
driveways in which badly arranged
curves are used or walks made to curve
around an oval grass plot placed in the
center for no other reason than to
make pedestrians take time to circle
about that particular grass plot Post
men, messenger boys and others take
q short cut, and soon a path In the
proper direction is worn across the sod
When curve Is used in a walk or
driveway there should be a reason for
It II there is no other reason plant
one; place tree or two or shrubs In a
position so the curve will seem neces-
sary. People then will keep on the
walk, and the plan will seem reason
able.-New York Sun.

A Story of LonefeIIow.

In Longfellow's journal, in which he
chronicled daily things that came un-
der his observation, he notes that upon
a certain occasion he attended a
church where the minister took as bis
subject Progress" He was very fat
tered when the latter quoted about
half Of the psalm of Life" After re-
peating the verses the minister said,
81 could never read that poem without
feeling the inspiration with which it
was written" To this incident Long
fellow adds: But 1 had the conceit
taken out Of me on the evening of that
day, when 1 happened to meet lady
at Prescott's and in our conversation
she referred to the sermon in the
morning and added, He quoted some
beautiful verses, but nobody knew
whence came the quotations.

a Wonderful AboriuinaI CITY,

Near Laguna, N. NJ, may be seen
Acoma, the 'sky city," claimed to be
the most wonderful aboriginal city in
the world. 1t stands on an isolated
rock eminence 400 feet in height. The
city embraces three rows Of houses
over a thousand feet In length, rising
up In terraces four and five stories.
One is amazed when he stops to con-
slider that the material for these build
ings were transported long distances
and up the cliffs upon the heads and
backs of these human burden bearers.
Their graveyard consumed forty years
in building by reason Of the necessity
Of bringing earth from the plain below,
and their church must have cost the
labor Of many generations, for its walls
are sixty feet high and ten feet thick,
and it has timbers forty feet long and
fourteen inches sQuare.-Exchange.

Making q Magnet.

The simplest way Of magnetizing a
bar Of steel is that known as "single
touch" The bar to be magnetized Is
laid on the table, and the pole Of a
powerful magnet is rubbed from ten to
twenty times along its length, always
in the same direction. If the north pole
Of the magnet is employed the end of
the bar first touched will also become
a north pole, while the opposite end, at
which the magnet is lifted before re-
turning, will be q south pole.
There are other and more complicat-
ed methods, known as divided touch"
and double touch" in which two and
even four magnets are employed.
A steel bar can also be magnetized
by placing it within coil Of insulated
wire, through which a galvanic current
is circulating. The magnetism induced
in this way, however, is weak COM
pared with that which can be procured
If the same strength Of current is en-
ployed through the Intervention Of an
electromagnetic.

Falling Up o.. of q Balloon.

II a man falls out Of rising aero
plane or balloon he will not go toward
the earth, but win continue rising into
the air for an appreciate time If
the air machine were stopped In its
ascent at the time 1t could catch the
man as he came down. If the airship
were ascending at the rate Of thirty
two feet a second the man would rise
sixteen feet before beginning to fall
toward the earth. Thus, by reducing
the speed Of its ascent, the vessel
might keep by the side Of the man and
rescue him. The reason why the man
rises In the same a the reason Tor q
bullets rising when shot from Q gun
into the air-both the man and the
bullet are given Q velocity upward, and

A Father Vaughan Story.

Father Bernard Vaughan, the famous
English Jesuit preacher, says what he
means and means what he says and
Is never afraid Of directing his criti-
cisms even against the most powerful
sections Of society, especially the idle
rich.
An amusing reference was once made
to the fiery methods Of denunciation
he employs when in the pulpit. He
had been preaching In Rome and had,
as usual, dealt out plain truths about
everybody with his accustomed force.
One Of the cardinals remarked that
he preached like an Italian. "Yes,"
said another dignitary, "but he Is an
Italian. He was born on Vesuvius,
and we only sent him to England to
cooL"-London Globe.
