RAILROAD DOESN'T
RUN WHEN IT'S DRY
"Kushequa Route" Thirty-five
Miles Long, Has Unique
Time Table.

KANE. Pa, May 7.--One of the
most unique time tables issued by
any railroad in the United States
has Just come from the printers and
Is now in effect. The table was is
sued by the "Kushequa Route" the
little mountain railroad belonging to
Elisha X. Kane. prohibitionist and
philosopher.
The "Kushequa Route" railroad is
the only connection the town. of
Smethport, county seat OF Mexican
county, has with the outside world.
Smethport Is town of probably
close to 5000 inhabitants way back
mo where" about thirty-hve miles
from Bradford.
The 'Kushequa Route" isn't much
of a railroad as railroads go, but
it's better than nothing, the people
of Smethport will tell you. 1t zig
gags down the mountainside from
Smethport to Mt. Jewett. Pa. 1t
crosses the Buffalo. Rochester and
Pittsburgh Railroad at Backus, Pa.
Backus is a place where the Balti-
more, Reading and Philadelphia
flyers give one wild whoop and stop
on signals for passengers on the
'Kushequa Route" IL there are any.
But to go back to that timetable.
1t has all the dignity and looks like
those. issued by fullgrown railroads.
II has the usual announcements. 1t
has one unusual one. Across the top
is the wording: Time table No. Al.

mo trains east Of Kushequa on
dry days"
Is what might be characterized as a
aIu hA ~
dry days" in the time table Of his
railroad has nothing to do with the
Volstead act.
The "Kushequa Route passes
through a large stretch OF woods
from one end of the line to the other.
Every year up in the mountainsides
there are many forest fires, some dar-
gerous and costly.
The equipment of the "Kushequa
Route" local Is not modern and IL has
not been equipped with any OF those
dog -goned" new tangled spark pre-
venters. On the contrary, the little
train coiling up the mountainsides
gives quite a correct imitation OF n
Mississippi river steamboat in n hot
race with Pittsburgh blast furnace
in full eruption. or the Denver and
| Rio Grande trying to haul hefty
Pullman train, up Soldiers summit,
Naturally the sparks fly high, wide
and wild. Therefore no person nlong
the "Kushequa Route" criticizes the
railroad company's endeayor to pre-
vent forest fires, but the suspension
OF train service out OF fear Of start
ing these forest fires is-a brand-new
one. even to the natives-'of that L.
cality, and the action of the railroad
has attracted much attention.
Sometimes a fiue blows out while
the little train is crawling up TIC
mountain. In such cases the passen-
| gers sit in the coaches or wander
through the woods in quest of wild
| flowers until the damage is repaired
At other times the fuel supply gives
out and passengers and crew get ou'
and gather firewood. a.

Efficient Housekeeping
By LAURA A. HERMAN.

The good housekeeper becomes an | astute judge of textiles. For. her ! business of managing the home em- l braces the purchasing of clothing, draperies, bedding, table linen. and other textiles necessary to furnish ! ings or wardrobe. Surely she must not, through ignorance, buy poor grades of cotton, linen. wool and silk perhaps paying as much for them as for higher grades.
 During this month and part Of next, I shall publish one articles a week on textiles Today l will deal with cottons-
 How Is the Housekeeper to Know a Good Grade of Cotton? There are several tests A cheap grade of cot ton is frequently made to appear heavier by the addition of mixtures called sizing.' Starches. deXtrin, glue, gums, china clay and other in- lgredients constitute this sizing, which adds a large percentage to the weight of a cheap, thin, loSely-wOVen cotton. Manifestations of this kind give the cloth a good finish, filling up the spaces between the threads, but ethe wearing quality is very poor. One test to determine the quality of cot tons of this sort. is to train the thumb and finger to feel the harshi- ness which sizing gives cotton. Another test is to rumple a little of rit and see if cha1ky-white specks of
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1921-09-12

sizing come off on the fingers. (Ask for a sample of the goods, to do this.) Still another test is to hold a sample up to the light and tear it quickly; if a small cloud of starch or sizing can be seen. the quality is poor. Again, touching a sample by the tongue will often result in a starchy taste. And still another cot ton test is to wash or thoroughly boil a sample in soda and water, then compare the dried and ironed sam
 pie with the bolt of unlaundered cloth.
 In giving these tests do not mean to be misunderstood as saying that cheap grades of cotton should never be purchased; there are many and excellent uses for the cheaper grades
 of cotton-only the houSekeeper should know enough about cottons to
 avoid the mistake of paying a high
 price for a grade that is not really worth the money. Upon the house. running the home at the least ex- pense. She cannot do this unless she
 becomes a judge of the supplies she must purchase.

The cost to the manufacturer of produc- | ing a high grade of mercerized cot | ton, is about three times that of pro- | ducing unmercerized cotton; conse- 1 quently if a price is offered at a very | low figure it is well to test it fer | true mercerization before you buy it. | Ask for a sample and take it home and launder it.

WELCOME THE NEW RADIANCE
Eskimos Rejoice Over the Advent of
the Electric Light in Land of
Midnight Sun.

The midnight sun has outlived its
usefulness. Up in the dark cold re-
gions of the northland, where the
natives formerly were content to grope
around in the darkness, twenty to
twenty-five hours daily during the
months of November, December and
January, today the aurora borealis is
not whit more wonderful to the
Eskimos and their youngsters than the
welcome radiance of electric light. 1t
will be many year before the public
utility companies invade the realm Of
the totem pole, the glacier and the
igloo; but In the meantime, the farm
plant, that contrivance of storage bat
teries and the like, which has been
supplying the farmers of the rural
West and Canada with power and light
during recent years, has begun to
make its appearance.
One of the pioneer lighting outfits of
the arctic area was installed recently
at the Kodiak Baptist mission on Ko-
diak island, just to the south of Cook
Inlet, Alaska. The apparatus is now
giving twenty-four hours of real light
each day to the hundreds of Aleutian
children who are taught and cared for
at the home and industrial school Of

Mission society.

Recent signaling development is be-
lieved to make it possible for ply
stefan on shore to listen to the heart
beats of his patient In mid-ocean. The
special apparatus evolved at the sig
nal corps laboratory in Washington
takes up the faint sounds by "heart
transmitter," amplifies them thou
sands Of times. and makes them au-
dible over a long distance The trans
mitter, resting over the heart by It's
own weight, reproduces in an air
chamber the various vibrations set up
by the blood as 1t passes through the
different valves OF the heart. From
this tie vibrations are transmitted
over the wire to an simplifying appara-
tus Of standard signal corps vacuum
tubes such as are used in wireless
telephony and telegraphy, and the
sounds are projected by a special re-
ceiver from a large horn. The diff
Guilty of transmitting sounds so feeble
is overcome by using a high-freqnency
carrier wave or line radio. This car
rier wave is an electric current, which
is deforrned or broken up by the heart
sounds, and the changes taken along
the telephone wire to the receiver re-
produce accurately the origlhSi
sounds.
