NEW BRIDGE QUICKLY PUT UP
Union Pacific Engineers Successful in
What Is Called a Remarkable
Piece of Work.

The old steel bridge of the Union
Pacific railroad over the Missouri riv-
err between Omaha and Council Bluffs,
which had been In service for 80 years,
was recently removed and replaced by
a new steel bridge, which had been
built on false work alongside the old.
The actual operation of removing
the old bridge, which weighed $780,
600 pounds, and putting in place the
new, which weighed 100000 pounds,
required Is minutes, four and half
minutes for the removal of the old and
ten and One-half minutes to replace it
With the new. Five hosting engines,
equipped with block and tackle, were
used. Union Pacific officials said the
work was an unusual engineering feat.
An hour after the new bridge was in
place trains were running over it.

KEEP TRAIN CREW AT WORK
Difficulties of Rairoading in Alaska
Will Be Understood From the
Following Incident.

A correspondent writing from Sc.
ward, Alaska, under date of December
-, states: Last week the train Serv-
iSe over the government railroad was
discontinued for the winter beyond
Mile "a. Beyond the thirty-fourth
mile of track only double-headers have
been used during the past six weeks,
two engines being required to force the
snowplow over the line. The train
crew handling the last train of the sea-
son over the mountain summit to Mile
SO brought back some strange tales
Of the freaks of frost out the line.
At Tunnel No. couple Of icicles sex
feet in diameter barred the way, and
while these distractions were being
removed the engine became frozen TO
the track in the slash. 1t took two
hours to thaw it loose. On the back
trip, between Mile 40 and Mile "a, the
coolest spot in this section Of Alaska,
the trainmen's lanterns became extin-
guished every time they went outside,
the oil congealing so that it could not
enter the wicks. The previous train
got beyond Mile 81, but was intercepted
on the return trip by an immense snow
slide near Spencer glacier and was
put in winter quarters constructed for
the purpose. The train crew returned
to Seward on foot"

HIS STANDING ON THE SHIP
Cook Strenuously Objected to Any
Wrong Idea as to His Position
Aboard the Vessel.

U. G. Hermann manager Of the COrt
theater, is a yachtsman with more than
a rocking chair reputation in the nauti-
cal game.
Last summer he took a cruise with
other lakeside navigators, and at the
last minute they were forced to press
into service cook who had never
stepped onto anything more unstable
than the deck Of lunchroom kitchen.
Once aboard, Pat began to give orders
outside his own domain and insisted
on bossing the crew and even giving
hints on conduct to the yachts guests.
Look here, are you the mater? de-
manded a peeved sailor man one day.
do I look like the mate? l was
hired to cook the mate" rOared the

-@CAN'T RUN PAST SEMAPHORE
If Enuineer Fails or Is Unable to No.
tice Danger Signal Train Is
Stopped Automatically.

Experiments are being conducted by
one of the Eastern railroads with q
safety device which q Rochester in
ventor has evolved for the purpose of
eliminating accidents caused by the
occasional failure of locomotive engi-
neers to observe danger signals. Par
ticularly during heavy storms and
dense fogs, it is extremely difficult for
a pilot to see semaphore. The safe
ty appliance is intended to control the
speed Of the train mechanically, so
that it cannot run into an open switch
or collide with another one if the
signals are properly set. The appli-
ance is installed in locomotive and
consists of an arrangement which per-
mits the steam to be cut off and the
brakes applied, when lever arm, ex-
tended adjacent to one of the rails,
strikes a trip fixed on the track and
regulated either mechanically or cleo.
trically by connection with regular
signal system. Thus, when a tower.
man sets a semaphore to stop an ap'
preaching train, and the engineer OF
the latter fails to see it, the lever arm
of the controlling device hits the trip
and the train is brought. to stop
