road authorities at Pittsburgh to place

it at his own expense and to guarantee

last money he owned, $50 bill. he
handed to the engineer, Daniel Tate,
just as the train, with a number of
railroad officials aboard, pulled out of
the station. Three minutes later a
most fortunate event occurred.
About half mile from the station
was Il grade crossing unprotected by
gates. AS luck would have it, team
ster with heavily loaded wagon was
crossing the track at this point just
as the first train ever equipped with
an airbralle came rushing down upon
him at thirty miles an hour. There
was no time to pull back, and the
teamster in fright belabored the horses
with his whip. The horses plunged
and reared and the wagon. its wheels
catching the rails, fell over with the
driver underneath. i

Romance Of the Airbrake Just 50 Years Old

tady, N. Y, he had been working for
some time on an idea for a train brake
that could be operated from the loco
motive instead of the old scheme of
whistling signal for the several train
men TO get busy with the hand brakes
on the individual cars
In the old days the lapse Of time be-
tween the "down brakes" whistle and
the clamping of the brake shoes on the
wheels was responsible for many ser-
GUS accidents. Wcstinghouse's original
idea was merely to save this time by
having the engineer work all the brakes
at once, rather than the idea Of apply
ing additional power, and thus per-
mitting the use of larger and heavier
cars. But the great passenger and
freight cars Of to-day would not be
possible witt. the old system Of hand
brakes.
Young Westinghouse first planned to
operate the train-lcngth brake BY steam
from the engine, but discovered that in
warm weather the steam would be con
densed before rcacfnG the hindmost

Brilliant Future

Some day the cafe proprietors Of
these United States are going to cast
off the false restraint which has hith-
erto shackled them and then they will
serve bowl of soup with chorus girl
pirouetting on its rim. Blackface
comedians will come hidden behind cof-
fee pots and the refined male dancing
expert will be served with lighted can
dies. l confidently predict that San
Francisco will take the initiative in
this.
The per cent of alcohol in the drinks
that may be had in San Francisco is
limited only by common practice. A
very conventional unassisted double
play in San Francisco is from beer, 4
per cent-to whiskey--4S per cent-to
rum, 64 per cent. This double play
is universal where things are wet. So,
why should l explain it?
Los Angeles grew tired of waiting
for San Francisco to go dry and since
it was unbearable that they should
think alike on any given subject Los
Angeles went dry itself. San Fran
cisco may play the swashbuckling
youth with its cap sunk low over its
left eye; it may have its rum at 64
per cent and its whisilcy at 46-as for
Los Angeles it is II per cent and glori-
ously proud or ashamed of it.
Even to get that II per cent it is
necessary for a man to take a sand
wich-say 10 per cent sandwich
and, in consequence, public drinking in
Los Angeles is confined largely to the
park fountains and sanitary cups. 1t

stance of its service, but they will
never forget that night they started
out to see Barbary Coast and trippcl
into Caesars.
So few nights ago, when the San
Franciscan said we would look in on
Caesars, even though Caesar had been
laid pretty low by Brutus and Cassius
and the rest of the civic pursts, I for
one was wary. But it was only dusk,
soft light was still trapping the rest
less waves of lower San Francisco Bay
and everything was in favor of our ar
irving at Caesars on our feet. Which
we did without difficulty.
A waiter woke up, looked at us re-
proachfully and said: "No music till 9.

they are not staged for an audience

were moments when the honor Of the

that some one should push Chinaman

worth while. So we didn't push any

gave 1t A twist. With a grind and a
shrek the brake shoes gripped the car
wheels and the train stopped few
feet from the terrified driver, who had
given himself up for lost.
Some of the passengers had been
thrown from their seats by the sudden
stop, but they forgot their bruises in
their delight at the saving of human
lie and the dramatic demonstration
OF the effectiveness of the airbrake.
1t was suggested that the train return
to the station, since further proof was
unnecessary, but the majority voted to
continue on to 'Steubenville, and dur
ing the round trip the wonderful pos
slbilities of the airbrake were fully
shown.

NIFTY years ago the first
u airbrahe patent ever issued was
& handed TO George Westing
house. Behind that simple announce
ment lies romantic story of struggle
and achievement which reads almost
like fiction. The average passenger in
the fast train flying along at fifty or
sixty miles an hour rarely stops to
think that not only is he safcguardcd
TO wonderful extent by the silent,
unseen airbrake, but that except for it
railroad men would not dream Of run
ming their trains at such a rate Of
speed. Without the assurance that the
trains could be stopped so quickly they
would not have the courage to run

Is dryer to the eye than Los Angeles

Spring Street all is quiet.
In 1901 Los Angeles was a red
liquor country. The boys liked it
straight and red To be sure they had
beer and light wines then, but they
never had much standing. Besides, it
took a strong bartender to lift 10
cents worth of light wine in southern
California.
