LINK FROM EAST TO WEST
Historic Occasion When Great Trans- continental Railroad Lines Were
 Formally Connected.

The ground for the railroad through to the Pacific coast was broken at Sac ramento, Cal, and Omaha, Neb., Jan uary 8, 1863. Then began the race between the Union Pacific and the Central Pacific to cover the greatest mileage of construction. The rails of the two lines met at PromontOry point. 1,O85 4-5 miles from Omaha and 69O miles east of Sacramento. Gov. Leland Stanford, in behalf of the Gen. tral Pacific, now known as the South ern Pacific, drove the last spike con meeting the roads, using a silver mal- let. Telegraph wires were so attach cd as to announce the blows as they fell. Two hundred and twenty guns were fired from the batteries at San Francisco on receipt of the signals.
 The golden spike was made of 23 $2O gold pieces and was worth $460. On it was engraved, ''The last spike; may God continue the unity of the country as these railroads unite the two great oceans of the world"
 In those days many of the engines were wood-burning and only three or four cords of wood could be carried on the engine tender. It took three days and nights to travel on the train from Salt Lake to the Missouri river. Now the trip is made in >86 hours.

WELL EQUIPPED By NATURE
Simple Explanation of Remarkable
Sense of Hearing That Is Pos
sessed by the Owl.

IT is held by naturalists that In
order to capture its prey the owl
must depend even more upon its sense
of hearing than upon its sense of
sight. The tufts of feathers that dis
tinguish the Short-eared and the long
cared owls are, of course, no more
ears than they are horns. The true
ear of the owl Is a most remarkable
organ.
The facial disk of feathers that
gives the owl its characteristic ap-
pearance serves as a kind of sound
ing-board or ear-trumpet TO concen-
trate the slightest sounds and TO trans.
NIT them TO the orifice of the true
ear. concealed in the small feathers
behind the eye. Even in the barn
owl. which possesses the least COM
plicated arrangement of this kind. the
orifice of the ear is covered by a re-
markable flap of the skin, while in the
ether species there are striking diff
ferences in the size and shape of this

Water in Wood.

All wood contains more or less wa
ter; even the drieSt wood known con-
tains two or three pounds of water TO
every 100 pounds of weight. Absolute
~ dry wood is unknown. for the heat
needed to obtain 1t would dissolve the
wood and convert 1t into gas and
charcoal.
A Swiss authority on the character
istics of wood believes that a suffi-
GENTLY powerful and perfect micro
scope would show that the ultimate
wood cell Is composed of crystals like
grains of sugar or salt and that thin
films of water hold the crystals apart.
yet bind them into q mass.
A good microscope shows the wood
cell and reveals its spiral bandages
and its openings and cavities. but no
instrument yet made reveals the ulti-
mate crystals that, as paany believe.
do exist and that would explain why
water cannot be expelled from wood
without destroying the wood itself
