' Blowing Glass.

IN various factories window glass
is being blown by machinery
through the agency of compressed
air Into an iron ring which rests
on an iron casting is poured a quan-
tlty Of molten glass. The blowing
head, which connects with an air
pipe. is then attached to the ring
After the glass has been allowed 10
cool somewhat the blowing head and
ring are lifted from the casting plate.
The plastic glass sagS through the
ring in cup shape and is then blown
into cylindrical form. When the CYL
inder has cooled its ends are cut off
and it is slit lengthWise into a plane
sheet Of glass by means of heating
and mechanical treatment
The process has many advantages
and has been found specially suir&!
for the production of fiat obiecA
large objects and wide-mouthed yes
sells. as, for instance. bath tubs. mill
troughs, wash tubs and acid tanks
1t can also be used in the produc-
tion of cracked, marbled and. other
varieties of sheet glass of fancy de-
sign. The glass is said to be of re-
markably good quality. Its thickne 81,
is uniform, its surface even ann
bles. These factors are made possi-
bic by the method OF mechanical
blowing.

Direct From Heat.
TO obtain electr

TO obtain electricity direct from
heat is a dream that is likely at
some time to he realized. AT present
there are numerous methods OF OBJ
tanning electricity direct from heat.
but the power obtainable is very M
mute. However. a method has been
devised which employs two insulated
carbon rods heated in an electric fur
mace or oxy-acetylene flame, in a new
way. The two carbons are kept sepa-
rated at one end but the other ends
are connected through current
measuring instrument. When one of
the carbons is suddenly displaced
a current of several amperes will
flow. BY displacing one of the car
bons periodically an alternating cur
rent can be generated.
When a slight voltage is appliedNto
the carbons the current increases to
more than ten amperes at about 456
degrees Fahrenheit.
These experiments are interesting,
inasmuch as such a result would
hardly be expected at aImoSphe1 1c
pressure. The same thing has been
noticed before on much smaller
scale, but in a high vacuum. Such
seemingly insignificant discoveries
often mark the beginning of Won
derful developments

Moving a Live" Rail.

A N unusual problem confronted an
= engineer for a northwestern rail-
way system when he was required to
move a large section of third or con-
tact rail without interrupting traffic.
The railway is a double-track line
and the third rail for each track had
not originally been laid between the
tracks; but when some changes were
made in the roadbed it became desir-
able to transfer about two thousand
feet of tho contact rail across the
track so that both sets of third rails
would be side by side and between
the tracks.
A gang of seventeen men did the
work. Each man was equipped with
the ordinary large rubber gauntlets
used in dangerous electric work, and
wooden levers were employed for di-
rect contact, a wooden tie nine feet
in length being forced under the
third rail every fifteen feet The men
were placed at intervals of ten feet
and with their combined strength
thus concentrated on a given section
gradually forced over the great
length of metal. The rails were
wired at the ends with flexible in
sulated cable, which maintained the
circuit, Tho work of making the
transfer took thirty minutes

list of waiting applicants. "See you

shoulder.
HANNAH never saw her again. Two
days later Hannah Tune. daugh-
ter Of the late Rutger c. Tune of
the Massachusetts Tunes, was on her
way to San Querto. N. NJ, with Har-
vey Santa Fe railroad pass in her
handbag. She was enjoying herself
immensely, though the ride was hot,
dusty and seemingly endless.
With her Santa Fe pass was an
Identification card emitting her to
meals free Of charge at all stops
where meals were regularly schedul-
ed. At these stations along the way
passengers were notified they would
have half an hour for what was call
ed Refreshments"
Her first meal in the dining room
at Hutchinson, Kan, had been of
immense interest to her, favored with
almost hysterical amusement. A
sengers were fed here in half an
hour. The meal marched as in
evitably, as irresistibly as death it
self. Each table seated eight. The
first course lay smoking before you
as you seated yourself With that
scant half-hour swapping at their
heels the passengers settled grimly,
determinedly to this business Of con-
suming their dollars worth. 1t was
a huge meal, hot. savory, appetizing.
No sounds but the clink of cutlery
against china, the low voices of the
mattresses murmuring d chant of
"Teacoffeemilk? Teacoffeemlk? Tea
coffeemilk?"
Controlling. soothing this strange
company, unconviviaI, walked the
Harvey hotel manager, bland, watch
full. weaving in and out among the
tables, hands behind his back. And
as he walked he intoned "Pas-sen-
gers on number nine have thirty

Der nine still have fifteen minutes for

like a horde of Iocusts leaving a
devastated dining room.
Hannah decided she would eat in
the lunchroom, where ham and eggs

ulously before you the next: where
hung the secret of coffee: where you

butter chips and glasses Of ice water

Hannah became less and less Tune;
more and more the daughter of her
plain. Democratic, high-spirited
mother.
This trip had all the flavor of a
stolen holiday, for the truth of it is
that at the last moment she had
lacked the courage to write to her
twin, Il am going west to be a
Harvey hired girl" Instead she had
given Hilda to understand that her
mission at San Querto was to teach
school. Hannah had been in San
Querto almost ten days before her
twins reply reached her.

Hannah had been a very little girl
when her mother, with that look of
high pride and honest indignation,
had delivered herself of that speech.
But it came back to her now, as
did the sneer on her fathers face.

PY the end of the month Hannah
- had >learned to keep her head
under a fire OF orders volleyed at her
like hail.
She learned that San Querto itself
though an important Santa F'e rail-
road division point, was an ugly lit
tie Mexican town, squatting fiat On
the mesa, it's new houses staring and
unlovely, it's old town, where the
Mexicans lived, squalid and unpic-
turesque. Yet there was the western

were the Spanish peaks They were,

stretched the sage green mesa, for
miles. Not even a hillock. Then sud
denly, rising out of this fat plateau
and soaring straight up to snow
doomed the twin purple Spanish peaks
against the sunset sky. The tears
had come to Hannah's eyes. She felt
as if she had come home.
Now she learned TO look at them

to wash and iron her own shirtwaists.

And she learned to watch for the
entrance of Dan Yard. Dan Yard was
substitute brakeman on branch line
freight train running into San Querto
four nights a week.
She had first seen him in the second
week of her coming to San Querto
She was working nights that week.
1t was against rules for Harvey girls
to carry on social conversation with
lunch counter patrons. A greeting,
yes. An amiable word or two. That
was all. Yet Hannah noticed a little
Intangible change come over the two
girls on duty with her that night as

A mo- ment later shot startled the other oe- cupants Of the building, and upon in vestigation it was found that Anderson had killed himself by putting a bullet through his head. He had not been feeling well for some time. He was a coal expert, and discovered most of the coal deposits which have been worked along the north end of the Alaska rail- road.
