WARNS AGAINST WASTING AIR
Southern Pacific Railway Company
Cites Attention of Employees
to a Real Expense.
''Don't waste the air"

OOQt waste the air.
This injunction, indicating the pass
Ing Of the last free commodity known
to man, has been added to the conser-
walton program of the Southern Pacific,
says Financial America. The attention
of thousands of workmen in the rail-
road shops at Los Angeles, Sacra-
mento and Oakland is being directed
to the fact that compressed air, used
to drive many machines and tools, rep
resents a real expense. In fact, the
'shigh cost Of air" is giving the COM
pany economists some concern.
G. w. Rear, general bridge inspec-
tor for the company, estimates that
q half-inch leak in compressed-air
tank will offset the work of a 10
horse power engine and the cost of a
horse power varies from less than a
cent to 80 cents per hour, depending
upon the size of the plant, amount of
attendance, etc. Usually the loss is
greater than the money cost, due to
decreased output on account of insult
6cient air supply.
The expression "free as air" has no
relevancy in the Southern Pacific

people of Pennsylvania the new wheat

Cement From Beet SUGAR.

A result of experiments in French
factories is the production of an excel
lent cement as a by-product of beet
sugar refining. The first step in the
production of sugar from beets is boil
ing them. 1t has heretofore been Gus
tomary to throw away as valueless the
scum formed on the caldrons. But it
has now been discovered that this
scum contains large quantities of car
Donate of lime. 1t is estimated that
1000 tons of the carbonates can be
recovered from 10000 tons of beets.
To this quantity of the carbonate LOO
tons Of clay Is added, the resultant
product being a good cement. The
best scum is pumped into large reser-
voirs and allowed to evaporate for a
certain length of time before being
mixed with the clay. 1t is then stirred
or beaten for an hour before being fed
into rotary ovens such as are used in
making Portland cement.-The Argo-

to be busy and see things finished that

Mrs. Red-Breasted Grosbeak agreed,
and thought they would enjoy life a
great deal more by being busy.
Tt would be so tiresome,' Mrs. Gros-
beak told her mate sometime after this,
If we did nothing all day but sing.
Why, we'd have nothing to sing about
after time, no joyous notes to tell
the worldp
"And SO from that day to this, the
Red-Breasted Grosbeak family have
been a great help. They do all they
can to help the farmer destroy the
potato bugs. They eat caterpillars
which would destroy trees, and many
moths, bugs, worms and insects which
would hurt the growing vegetables and
trees bearing fruits.
'They eat cucumber beetles, too, but

RoSE-BREASTED GRoS8EAK.

1.-THE rose-breasted grosbeak,' said
Daddy. lis a very useful bird, and at
the same time an extremely beautiful
bird.
Mr.. Red-Breasted Grosbeak wears
black and white, with Il handsome vest
Of rose color and under his wings he
has the same decoration. Mrs. Gros-
beak IS not so handsome. She wears
brown frock, and looks not unlike her
cousin, Mrs. Sparrow.
"They have some fine relations, too
there are Mr.. and Mrs. Blue GroS-
beak. and there again Mr.. Grosbeak
is very beautiful. He wears a deep
blue suit and his shoulders are trimmed
! with chestnut colored feathers. Mrs.
Grosbeak is of grayiSh brown and gray
ish white, having the top side of the
first color, and the bottom side of the
second color.
"Then there are the Evening Gros-
beak family. Mrs. Evening Grosbeak
is paler than her husband but their col
oring is not so different from each 9th
er as in the other members Of the
Grosbeak family. The Evening Gros-
beaks are of brown and yellow with
touches of very dark brown and white
tipped wings.
"And we mustn't forget the Pine
Grosbeak family. Mr.. Pine Grosbeak
is of q wonderful shade of red, while
Mrs. Grosbeak is of yellow and gray
in her coloring.
1.-THE Pine Grosbeaks are fond of the
winter and are not afraid Of the cold.
in fact they are not afraid Of anything
and they trust people and let them
come close to them. They have low,
warbling voices and whistle in beau
tiful, clear fashion.
The Evening Grosbeaks have very
large bills and eat many seeds, berries
and insects as you may imagine. But
they can sing and whistle, too.
1.-THE Blue Grosbeak family sing, too,
In q nice warbling fashion Of their own,
which is a little like the song Mr.. In
digo Bunting sings, but Mr.. Grosbeak's
is little stronger and louder-a little
more of song. They probably like to
sing songs that are somewhat the same,
as they are both blue birds and so
have the same taste in color and in mu
sic.
"But it is of Mr.. Rose-Breasted Gros-
beak that want to tell you, for he is
not only beautiful, but, as I said he IS
very useful.
"And he can sing, too! Oh, how Mr..

chirps in low, deep and lovely tones

DOGS Nose Damp to Aid Smell.

When your faithful dog pokes his
nose into your hand even your affec-
ton cannot prevent little shiver, be-
cause the nose is so cold. Why Is 1t!
When the body of n dog Is so warm
why should this one spot be different
from all the rest Of him? The coldnesS
of dogs nose is due to the fact that
1t must be kept moist all the time In
order to sharpen his sense of smell.
And, of course, as the moisture Is
evaporating all the time, it keeps his
nose cold. A dog depends great deal
on his powers of smell, especially IN
the wild state. In addition to the
olfactory or smelling nerves inside
dogs nostrils the whole black men,
brane around the nose is very sensl-
tive, but this sensitiveness can only De
retained by moisture. Thus 1t Is that
when dogs nose is dry and warm he
