SELF-STYLED NAPOLEON
EXPELLED FROM HOME
Man Who Claims He Is Descendant
of Little Corporal Loses
Domains Near Paris.

By United Press.
Paris, April 27.-Louis Napoleon Eu-
gene Maximilian Laurent Mason. grand
son of Napoleon l.. according to his own
story, has just been ignominiously ex-
PEELED from his domain near Colombes. a
suburb of Paris. The proprietors of the
ground occupied by the self-siyled scion
of the Man of Destiny claimed it in the
courts and their righ, was upheld.
The expulsion was shock to the in
habitants of the little village who had
never doubted the historic accuracy of
MassOn's tale. He even bore a certain
resemblance to the Little Corporal. al
though sixty years of age. According
to his story. when Napoleon was fleeing
from Waterloo he stopped to change
horses at post s:ation in Clethy. in the
department of Pas-de- Calais. The man.

leaving behind his wife. a young Span

and when he continued his pourney to
Paris she accompanied him. Historians
are silent regarding this love episode.
but Mason was firm in his assertions
THAI his mother was the daughter of
the Spanish beauty and the fallen dicta-
tor of Europe. Whatever may be the fact,
it is certain that Mason received his
preientious Christian names in due form
at the time Of his baptism.
With impressive dignity, Masson-Bon-
apate watched the destruction of his
chateau-built of lumber and rusty sheet
iron-and listened TO the edict of the
court expelling him. One hand behind
his back, the other stuck between the
first and second buttons of his ancient
frockcoat. he was perfect model of Ma
poleOn on the Bellerophon going into
exile. Il forbid you to touch my ar
chives," he roared at the court officials
experimenting the execution of the de-
cree. He gathered up what he called
his archives, consisting Of hundreds of
documents and plans relating to inven.
tions, and strobe away to erect a new
castle in the neighborhood. muttering
something about the return from Elba.

Mrs. Hughes. who was farmer s

this lamb became snOw-white and was

Defects in Tracks and Roadbeds
Cause Spread Rails and Wrecks

Heavy rains may also cause spread
rails on a curved track. Because Of
rains or floods. the roadbed may be wash
ed away beneath the outer rail causing
it to sink below its proper level. The
train, then, is Overbalanced, and its
weight, instead Of bearing equally on
both rails. is thrown mainly on the outer
rail. Under these circumstances, even
if the train is running at limited speed.
undue outward tension is exerted on the
outer rail, causing it to spread.
HEAT EXPANDS RAILS
Spreading rails are caused on either
straight or curved track by insufficient
expansion space. Because of heat and
pressure rails expand. Accordingly.
when a track is laid. the sections Of rail
are not put down with end against end.
but a small expansion space is left be-
tween each section. II. for some reason.
three is no expansion space, the rail in
expanding tends to bow out in a slight
curve. and the wheels will drop on to
the ties inside the track.
The rocking motion. too. Of an engine
causes spread rails. Have yon ever stood
on a track and watched an engine ap-
proach, rocking from side to side until
YOU thought it surely must topple over?
Such motion is chiefly the result Of CON-
plex conditions in the structure of an
engine. If. then. tracks are not carefully
inspected and repaired, the rocking Of
the engines from side to side will even
iualIy work the spikes loose. d And loose
spikes readily allow the rails to spread.
As the back part of an engine is the
heaviest par. the front rocks more than
the back. Running the engine backward.
however. tends to exert a greater and
more direct force in working the spikes
lcose. In some states the running of
an engine backward under certain con-
diiions is prohibited by law.
Poor readbeds. the lack of proper track
inspection and neglect of track repairs
are the unnecessary causes OF many ac-
cidenis resulting from spread rails.
The Columbia evening Missourian., 1922-05-01

what caused her to leave the track!'
breathlessly asks spectator running up
/ to the brakeman.
j 'Spread rails" curtly answers the
/ trainman.
Each year. hundreds of railroad ac-
cidents, more or less serious, are the re-
suit Of spread rails. Why? What causes
rails to spread?
Everyone is familiar with the shape
of the Trail commonly used in track
construction. These rails are laid just
far enough apart SO that the flange of
either wheel rests against the inside
shoulder of either track. The adjust.
ment of parts ia not unlike that which
secures a teapot lid. The flange on the
lid prevents it from slipping off to
either side and in like manner the
wheel flange prevents the wheel from
running off the track TO either side.
As YOU know. however, if the lid of
the teapot is too small it will fall in
side. In the same way, then, whenever
the rails become spread apart the wheels
jump down on the ties. Whether or not
the accident will be serious one is
a matter of conjecture.
CENTRIFUGAL FORCE ONE CAUSE
Spread rails on a curved track may
be caused by undue. centrifugal force.
Centrifugal force is the power that tends
to throw you outward and off your bal
ance when you ride on a merry-go-round.
1t tends to throw outward, from its given
course. anything that moves in a circu-
lar path When a circular stretch OF
track is laid, the outside rail is raised
TO higher level than the inside rail.
This difference I'M level is calculated to
counteract the centrifugal force. A linn
lied speed is then sci for the curve.
because an increased speed will increase
the centrifugal force.
Consequently. if train is over-speed-
ed around a curve, undue tension is eX-
eried on the outside rail, the spikes are
pulled loose. the other rail spreads out
ward. and the train is derailed.

properly manipulated. Music is produc.
ed with the feet and not the hands. To
add to the handicaps of the piano, there
is the victrola, which does not even need
peddling.
These are wonderful inventions, but
they can never take the place of the
piano, for the piano is the parents right

which SO inculcates industry, persever-
ance. exactness and moral stamina.
True, the same jazz which emanates so
readily and so regularly from the ma

be produced by the piano. But before

faithful practice on those simpler and
