With Russian Territory-Bridge
Is Mile Long.

A bridge nearly a mile long is being
built by the Russian and Swedish gov
ernments e the River Tornea, which
separates Sweden and Finland at the
apex Of the Gulf of Bothnia. The
Swedish government Is doing the ac-
tual work, having better access to ma
terial. BY this bridge the railway sys-
TENS Of the two countries will be unit
ed, and one may then be able to travel
from Stockholm to Vlalivostok with
out alighting from the railway coach.
Already an elevated cable communi-
cation over the Tornea is nearing COM
pletion. 1t Is intended to carry mails
and parcels, Of which enormous guam
titles pass through the towns of Tor

OLD FREIGHT CARS
Found That Apparently Worthless
Bodies Are Valuable.
ONE ROAD TO UTILIZE Them
Usable Portions Are Cut Up and
Made Into Siding or Roofing for
Other Cars and for Many
Other Purposes.
by r. P. CRAWFORD. in The scienti
hc American.)

fBy r, P. CRAWFORD, in The Scienti-
fc American.)
Whenever q railroad found q few
old, WORKOUT freight ears standing on
its sidings, it was the custom to sum
mon the steam derrick. haul the cars
out to an isolated spot, lift the bodies
off the trucks and east them to one
side Of the track. They were then set
on fire and later the metal parts were
picked up among the ashes. That was
Il quick and easy wa Of getting rid Of
them. There are many roads that still
follow this plan; but at least n has
found that these old, apparently worth
less car bodies are worth money and
has set out to utilize them.
Dismantle Each Car.
SO whenever q car is found to be no
onger capable of efficient service 1t IS
sidetracked at n of the division
points and there awaits the workmen's
pleasure. Each car is carefully dis
mantled. Pains are taken that the
wooden siding and roofing are dam
aged as little as possible. The disable
portions of the cars are then cut up
and made into siding or roofing for
other cars, running boards for the tops
of closed cars, or the coal doors that
are used to held coal in q box car In
case the outer door is opened. Thou
sands of the latter are now made at a
cost Of q few cents apiece or only a
fraction Of what was formerly paid for
th,r, Torpnp nncfc orn Ca1ya god and
used in other cars. Even crooked bolts
are Strengthened in a special machine
and used again. The trucks from many
of the smaller freight cars are en-
ployed on stock cars. And finally, frag-
ments Of wood in such condition that
they are good for no specific purpose
find a use as kindling wood in starting
locomotive fires. Even wrecked ears
that formerly were burned are now sal
vaged in the same way.
Save Thousands Of Dollars.
It has been found that thousands of
dollars may be saved every year in this
manner even often charging the job
with the time spent in tearing down
the cars. Some idea of the tremendous
number that would ordinarily have
been burned may be judged from the
fact that 400 such condemned cars ac-
cumulated in the yards at Lincoln.
Neb., at one time last year. With the
growth in size of freight carr in recent
years every road has found hundreds
OF the cars Of former days on its
hands. While all railroads have en-
deavored to save the metal parts, the
conservation OF the wood waste repre-
sents another step in the final sorting
over and saving of every bit Of second

Service, at Least at
This Time.

Washington, July 21.-The draft for
the national army is completed. The
great task of determining the order in
which the registrants should be called
up for examination IA begun at 8 AS
O'Clock Friday morning when No. 2JS
was drawn, and was kept up continu-
ously until early Saturday morning,
when the last number came cut Of the
bowl. In all 10000 numbers were
drawn, but 1t Is not likely that men
holding numbers drawn after the first
1000 will be summoned before the
boards for service in the first army.
According to the officials in charge,
the first 1000 numbers drawn repre-
scented more than q million men.
The draft was invested with all the
dignity and solemnity becoming so i'm
portant an event, and was witnessed
by a distinguished company. The first
eight numbers were drawn respective
~ by Secretary of War Baker, Senator
Chamberlain of the senate military
committee, Congressman Dent Of the
CNS hiAAAtdi NoljlItllllcc, ScIlulOI
Warren and Representative Kahn,
ranking minority members Of the sen
ate and house military committees:
Maj. Gen. Tasker II. Bliss, acting
chief Of staff of the army; Maj. Gen.
Enoch Crowder, provost marshal of
the army and Major General Mccain,
adjutant general Of the army. After
the first eight numbers had been drawn
the regular tellers took hold. and
worked through until the long task
was completed.
In only a small number of the larg-
est districts will the numbers above a
few thousand affect registrants. OF
the 4,557 registration districts
throughout the country the largest has
something over 10000 numbers, while
the smallest has only about 1S5, and
the average Is about 5000. AS the
drawing proceeded, 157 numbers were
withdrawn before one low enough to
affect the smallest district came out.
1t was 12G, placing 1867 men number
ed 126 on their local lists as 18th in
order Of liability.
The following list shows the num-
bers In the order in which they were
drawn. The first number in each case
represents the order in which the Sec
ond, or red-ink registry, number was
taken from the bowl. Four numbers
are given in each line, beginning with
the first number, which was drawn by
Secretary Baker.
