How Our Cities Have Grown,

A metropolis grows up in two ways.
At first 1t expands legitimately, adding
furlong to furlong of growth. Then
1t leaps forward and seizes a large
area overnight by act of legislature or
parliament, sweeping into its net a
score of villages and settlements. Then
it proceeds to consolidate its position,
as General Joffre might say, by filling
up the intervening spaces. In Euro
pean cities they have an inner ring,
which Is the old city, and an outer
ring. which may be anything. New
York, Chicago, Boston, Seattle, have
their inner rings, which are the legiti-
mate city, and the outer ring, which
came by the get-big-quick method. New
York succumbed to the promoters
fever in 1898. In that year the city
absorbed large areas of virgin soil,
and a chain of independent villages,
some of them nearly as old as Manhat-
tan itself. From the Sound to the At
lantlc they stretch across the backbone
Of Long island and the lower har-
Dor of Staten island, where the local
tradition, in spite of municipal ferries
and promised tunnels, has remained at
its strongest.
Such frenzied expansion is the rea-
son why the traveller in the nearer sub
urbs of a great city will often come
across a city line which is no longer
the city line. AS you neal the old city
line from the heart of population, the
solid blocks of apartments and flats
thin out. There follow stretches of
waste land, market gardens, cemete-
ries. 1t is across this zone between the
old and the new city lines that the
transit railways throw their surface
lines and elevated extensions" and
close behind them are the builders,
crlss-crossing the raw acres with their
long lines of "frame" and brick.-uar-

Railroad Building in Russia.

Russia has beaten all records in
railroad construction. She has built a
great double-track, broad-gauge line
from Alexandrovsk, an ice-free port on
her northern coast, down to Petrograd,
and completed it within six months. 1t
Is 1920 miles long and 10000 men,
mostly %convicts, were employed upon
1t.
The Great Siberian railroad, 1921
miles long, was built in eight years.
The line stretches across wild plains
and forests and over great mountain
ranges in Il climate where for five
months in the year the soil Is frozen
as hard as granite. 1t cost $140,000,-
600 and since the date of it's compile
ton another $22,OOO,OOO has been spent
in improving the line.

NEEDS NO FIREBOx'
LOCOMOTIVE THAT is RUN ON
BORROWED STEAM.
Plant on Factory Site Supplies Motive
Power, and 1t Is Stored in the En-
CINE Tank Until Gradually
Exhausted.

The locomotive illustrated consists
of a large, round-ended tank with
a false end at the front and fitted
with only such apparatus as is re-
quired for the control OF the steam to
the cylinders. The latter, all the driv-
ing mechanism and the outside lag
ging to prevent heat radiation are eX-
actly like those OF an ordinary loco
motive.
Three crOsswise perforated battle
plates are fitted in the tank. These
serve to prevent the water from surg
ing from one end to the other and to
prevent the locomotive from rocking.
In operation, the tank is first filed
about half full of water. This enters
through ii valve at the front and passes
into and out of a long perforated pipe
extending the full length of the tank
near the bottom. Then live steam from
the power plant on the factory site is
admitted to the tank through the same
pipe as was the water. By the time
the pressure between the boiler and
the tank is equalized, generally at $50
pounds, the water level in the tank
will be raised considerably and the
temperature of the water will be near
ly equal to that of the steam by which
it is charged, about $40 degrees Fahren-
heit.
The steam is then drawn off through
a throttle-valve in a dome in the tank
top and led through a pipe to a re-
ducing-valve in the false front end of
the tank. This valve reduces the pres
sure of the steam to between 60 and
65 pounds per square inch before it
is led to the cylinders. These are eS-
peCially large in diameter so that the
piston area is such that the locomotive
can be moved when the steam is ut a
pressure of four pounds. The exhaust
steam is carried out through Il pipe in
the stack as shown.
AS the steam is used, the pressure
in the tank becomes less and less, al
lowing the water to evapOrate gradual
ly and maintain u steam supply until
it has been depleted to the point where
it is no longer sufficiently effective

OF FIGS FOR
A CH|LDS BOWELS
II is cruel to force nauseating,
harsh physic into a
sick child.

Look back at your childhood days.
Remember the dose mother insisted
on-castor oil, calomel, cathartics.
How you hated them, how you fought
against taking them.
With our children it's different.
Mothers who cling to the old form of
physic simply don't realize what they
do. The children's revolt is well-found-
ed. Their tender little "insides" are
injured by them.
II your child's stomach, liver and
bowels need cleansing, give only deli
cious California Syrup of Figs" It's
action is positive, but gentle. Millions
Of mothers keep this harmless fruit
laxative" handy; they know children
love to take it; that it never fails to
clean the liver and bowels and sweet
en- the stomach, and that a teaspoonful
given today saves a sick child tomor-
row.
Ask at the store for a 50-cent bottle
OF California Syrup of Figs" which
has full directions for babies, children
Of all ages and for grown-ups plainly
on each bottle. Adv.

Our Friend, the Cow.

Since the COW is the most economi-
cal producer of human food of all OF
our domestic animals, and as she can
live and produce milk on n ration com
posed entirely Of roughage, she will be
the animal that will be resorted to In
order to convert half Of the energy of
our COMMON crops, which is otherwise
unavailable, into human food. Anoth-
er reason why the COW Is here to stay,
and will always be of vital importance
in sustaining human life, Is that ba-
bies and invalids cannot be nourished
m cornmeal mush alone. For these
reasons, ven after the time comes
that there is an actual struggle for hui
man food, the dairy COW will still be
a vital and abiding factor in a system
Of permanent agriculture, if we are to
retain a high degree Of civilization.

STATE NEWS
WANTS BOARD TO RUN STATE
Governor Graham Recommends Re.
organization of Governmental Ma.
chinery.

,Montpelier.-A reorganization of
the State governmental machinery.
whereby a board of State control
would replace many present officials
and commissions, was recommended
by Governor Horace F. Graham in his
inaugural address to the legislature.
This board, in which he would have
central executive authority invested
would be made up of the governor,
commissioner of agriculture, State
forester, director of State institu-
lions, purchasing agents and State
engineer, with the secretary of civil
and military affairs as secretary Of
the board.
The governor said that this board
should make up a budget for State
expenditures. Appointments by the
governor, under this plan, would be
submitted to the board of control for
approval except those Of public SER
vice commission, tax commissioner
and bank commissioner.
Governor Graham recommended an
increase in the State educational ap-
preparation from 100000 to 1925 900,
and a like amount for highways. He
urged that the superior court be
abolished, its duties to be given over
to a supreme court of nine justices.
He recommended the establishment
of a State board of probation and a
State detention farm, an industrial
accident board and board Of factory
inspection.

One of Gov. Gates Last Acts.

Montpelier.-One of the last official
acts of Gov. Charles w Gates has
been taken in connection with the
telephone suits which grew out of the
investigation originated by Allen M.
Fletcher as governor a few years ago.
The cases have been in the court for
some time, the telephone companies
having obtained an injunction against
the putting of the orders Of the pub
lie service commission into effect.
The cases were pending in both the
State and federal courts.
The investigation of the telephone
companies and the subsequent orders
Issued by the commission created a
sensation in the state. Under the
decision Of the governor and the ar
rangement with the companies in
volved, the cases are remanded to the
public service commission. The mat
ter now standing exactly as it did
before the original orders had been
issued. In other words, the affair
starts denovo and following the hear
ing the commission can issue orders,
there being a reason to believe that
this time litigation will not follow.
