For Fire Prevention.

The State Fire Marshal gives the
following pointers as worthy OF
thought especially during Fire Pre-
vention Week:
Don't use make-shifts of proper
fuses in your electrical circuits; the
fuse is the safety-valve of the system
Don't leave electric Hatirons or
other heating devices turned on while
attending to something else.
Don't use gasoline or other volatile
liquids to remove spots from clothing
or for other materials.
Don't throw your lighted matches or
smoking material where they can pos
sibly cause FIRE.
Don't smoke in bed; perhaps those
guilty CT this practice are too green
to burn, but the beds are not.
Don't let children play with matches
or bonfres.
Don't fail to have your defective
chimneys and Aues mended.
Don't forget to have the SCOT remov.
ed from your smoke-pipe; if not
cleaned, the pipe may overhead and
start fire when you operate the fur.
mace.
Don't neglect to protect walls, CELL
ings and partitions from the over
heating of stoves, furnaces and pipes
Don't put hot ashes into wooden
boxes or barrels.
Don't fill oil lamps or stoves by
open-hame light.
Don't let rubbish accumulate.
Don't fail to keep a bucket of water
and bucket Of sand in convenient
place for use in case of fire; they may
save the lives of YOUR family as they
have those of others.

How Far Can a Locomotive Jump,


Look over a locomotive as il stands
pufnng IN train shed. and you regard
Its Impressive bulk with a certain de-
gree OF awe. You cannot imagine this
huge steel monster jumping at all. You
would say that it couldn't Jump.
Imagine its solid supporting track re-
moved, and YOU would predict that
gravity would claim its own. regardless
OF the speed at which il might be
travelling.
Stand close to the track as the same
locomotive rushes past ut 90 miles an
hour, and you get another. and quite
diherent impreSsion-that of irresisti-
bic force, propelled at a speed which
would hurl it across a sheer open space
IKE shell fired from a powerful gun.
And then you change your opinion.
les, YOU conclude, that, vast though
ITS weight and clumsy its proportions,
II might leap across a measurable span
with rather fiat traiec. DRY.

photograph of locor tive taken Just
after it had leaped ross a 2s-foot

The locomotive hli been at the head

ahead, and TIL locor i've reached the
opposite side of the lnnel and alight-
ed right side up and unchanged. The
tender fell into the opening, and cars
piled up in heap between the two
abutments.
An engineer in the maintenance
of-way department of a midwest rail-
way told me the following story, which
| afterward verified, for it was difficult
to believe.
A small stone culvert was to be re-
placed by an iron pipe. There was a
sufficient interval between regular
trains to complete the work. Red
flags were posted at the prescribed dis
tances in both directions. A gang of
workmen eXcavated the small fill over
the culvert and removed the stone.
AT this stage of the work, Is feet Of
the steel rails only spanned the OPEN
ing. From them the crossties hung
by the spikes. Underneath the ties,
for a height of some feet, there was
nothing but air.
There came the distant rumble Of
an approaching train. 1t was "spec-
ial," and the red flag having blown
over, it came rushing on at full speed.
One and all, the workmen dropped
their tools and ran headlong into the
open field. The foreman ran, too,
not venturing to look back, and ex-
pecting every second to hear the SEEM
ingly inevitable crash.
Finally, at safe distance, he turn
ed to look.
The special was fast disappearing
from sight. 1t had crossed Is feet of
unsupported rails and continued on its
way!
Not only had the locomotive jumped
the space, but, to the amazement OF
all, three cars behind it had safely ne
potiated the hazardous crossing.
