GRADE CROSSING
ELIMINATION IS
PROGRESSING
Sewer in Connection with Big
Project Is About Com
pleted, Engineer Says
WASHINGTON ST. WORK
Foundation for Bridge at that
Point Has Been Finished
by Snare Co.
WASHINGTON ST. WORK
Railroad grade crossing elimina-

Railroad grade crossing elimina-
ton work is progressing rapidly.
The most important work done in
connection with the elimination to
date has been the installation of the
trunk line sewer, which according to
City Engineer Louis P. Booz, Jr.,
today, has about been completed.
The entire sewer has been placed
and connected and sewerage Is now
following the course of the sewer to
the outlet beyond the pier or bulk
head line in the Raritan river. To
install this sewer in order to elimin-
ate the street sewers leading under
the railroad tracks the city appro-
priated $560.000 under a special act
of the state legislature.
Frederick Snare, Inc, the con-
tracing firm to which the railroad
company awarded the building OF
the foundation for the steel spar
which will carry traffic over the
railroad tracks in Washington street
has completed the building of the
foundation on the east side of the
track from Park avenue west for
the viaduct. 1t Is estimated at this
time that at least four months will
be required to complete the work on
this structure. The contract for the
steel span for this bridge will be
awarded shortly it is believed.
Work is progressing rapidly on the
temporary bridge at the Central sta
ton, which will carry traffic over the
railroad tracks while the elimination
work is underway. 1t Is anticipated
that the bridge will be ready for
xryif IN nf
month. Graham & McKeon, local
contractors, have begun the fill nee
essary for the approach leading to
the bridge on both the west and east
sides of the track. The dirt for the
approach is being obtained from the
vacant lot west of the railroad,
which has to be cut away in order
to form the approach from the South
street side. The bridge will accom-
modate traffic which is now using
Smith and Market streets, as the
grade crossings now used in these
streets will be closed to the public
while the elimination work is under
way.
Alderman Thomas Patten said to.
day that no new site has been OBJ.
tanned as yet for the farmers market
although several are being consid
cred. He said the railroad company
has informed the aldermen that thir
ty days notice will be given the city
for the vacating of the railroad prop
erty now used for the market q.
soon as the railroad desires to extent
grade crossing elimination in tha
section.
AS the necessary temporary work
in connection with the elimination
Is completed. work on the actua
elimination will be started. It Is no.
! probable that any excavating will bt
done until after the traffic now usinf
the Market and Smith street grade
crossings has been diverted over the
temporary bridge now in course Of
completion.

Collie Certainly Was
Clever Though Crooked

The dog story the other day seems
to have attracted considerable atten-
ton, says writer in the Montreal
Herald, for In this mornings mail i
received the following from an &C
quaintance:
"A friend Of mine Is a butcher, who
some time ago noticed big collie
come into the shop, wag its tail and
drop a letter at his feet. The meat
man opened the note and discovered
that it was an order, signed by the
collie's master, for piece of sausage.
The dog was given the meat, and the
amount chalked up on the masters
account. This occurred several times,
and finally the butcher ceased to un-
fold the notes, knowing what they
contained.
1.-THE dog continued his visits more
or less frequently, and when the ac-
count went in there was kick from
Its owner. There was something like
ten pounds Of sausages charged to
the animal Its master said he had
only given q dozen or so orders to the
dog He happened to be in the shop
the next day when his dog came in
and dropped the usual piece of pa
per. Then 1t was found that Nero,
noticing that the butcher didn't read
the order, had been picking up stray
pieces of paper, folding them, and
taking them to the shop, thereby as
suaging his sausage hunger"

Part Vitamins Play
in Human OrRan;sus

In writing Of the fate Of vitamins Ia
the body, the editor of the Journal Of
the American Medical Association says
1t has been discovered that they are
stored up In the liver. The conclusion
that vitamins are highly essential to
the welfare Of the living organism, he
says, as so many recent investigations
seem to indicate beyond peradventure,
Is based on the observation Of nutri-
tive failure and the appearance Of so
called deficiency diseases when some
Of the food factors referred to are
missing from the diet.
1T may almost be regarded as cor
ollary," he continues, that, under con-
ditions of deficit In Mountaineering
products, the body itself will become
impoverished In these physioiogically
potent factors. For several types Of
vitamlns evidence is now available
that this is actually the case. II has
been found by Steenbock. Sell and
Nelson that the liver Is an important
center of fat-soluble vitamIn storage,
varying In its content of this sub
stance with the ration fed. When the
diet Of the animal becomes poor In
vitamin A, however, the liver becomes
correspondingly depleted. The depie-
ton Of the same organ In vitamin B
when the animal Is deprived Of an
adequate supply Of this factor has
been demonstrated by Osborne ar1
Mendell."

Captive Orang-Utan
ShoUed Intelligence

= An prang-utan named Dohong,
which was brought to the New York
zoo from Borneo some years ago, as
tonished us by his intelligence, w. Red
Blair writes in the American Maya
zine. A gas pipe four feet long and
two inches in diameter was wired to
the bars at the front Of his cage. The
pipe itself could not be tilted or moved.
Inside this pipe-in the very middle
a piece of banana was placed. Do
hong, who was very fond Of bananas,
tried to get it. First he attempted to
reach it with his hands, then his feet,
and failed. He tried to loosen the
pipe, but he couldn't do that. He was
very much disturbed over his inability
to get at that banana, and sat down
to think it over. But no happy solu-
ton came to him-for the simple rea-
son that, under the circumstances,
there wasn't any.
Finally, without Dohong's knowl-
edge, a stick two feet long with hook
In the end of it was concealed In the
straw of his cage Then Dohong was
put back in the cage and we waited.
In the course of 15 minutes Dohong
accidentally came across the hooked
stick. 1t didn't mean anything to him
on the instant, but presently he was
struck by a bright idea. He inserted
the hooked end of the stick into the
pipe, and, lol out came the banana on
the hookl After that, when banana
was put inside the pipe, Dohong
wasted no time trying to reach it with
his hands, but began looking at once
for the hooked stick.
This seemed to me to indicate q
high order of intelligence.

That Dropped Aspirafe

In Latin and the languages. such
as French, derived from 1t, the ''h"
is not pronounced, It's omission being
due to slightly different threat for
nation In different races. For centu-
ries after the Norman conquest Latin
and Norman French were the official
tongues of England, and the aspirate,
therefore, was never sounded. With
the gradual rise of English as a ma
tional language, the "h" came into
fashion, though even today one may
occasionally find an old-fashioned cler-
gyman who clings to the ancient ira
dition and speaks with conservative
correctness of an tumble man." In
the main, however, the dropping Of
the "h" was left to the less-educated
classes, particularly those In London.
which, as the court and official center,
had, of course, been more affected by
the French Transportation than the
more truly English north country

This locomotive ran trials at Red

inventor.
One night Murdoch went out with
his locomotive to an avenue leading
to the church about a mile from ths
town. The engine started of and
the inventor went after It Soon dis
tant shouts Of terror were heard.
When he came up to his machine he
found the vicar In great fear Of the

At this time Murdoch was In the
employ of the firm of Boulton & Watt,
and when they heard of the expert
ments they feared that Murdoch's en-
ergies might be distracted from the
business Of stationary engines. They
persuaded him to drop the project and
he never took up the subject again

China Wood Oil From Nuts

Tung or China wood oil is an i'm
portant raw material In the manufac-
ture of varnishes, wall paints and
enamels, and is largely used by the
llnoleum and printing ink industries.
1t is nearly colorless, quick drying,
elastic, and very tough. The oil is
pressed from nut that grows on
tung trees of two species which are
hardy, deciduous, and about 20 feet
high.
In China 1t Is used chiefly to pre-
serve the thousands of boats that ply
the waterways of that country.
For transport, the oil is put in bas-
kets lined with 16 thicknesses of var
nished paper. each holding about $50
pounds of oil. These baskets are
brought to small city or market place

High and Lou Lands

The maximum difference between
the high land and the low in the Unit
ed States proper is 14,477 feet. Ac-
cording 10 the official figures, Mount
Whitney. the highest point, Is 14,501
feet above sea level, while Death val
ley. the lowest point, Is 275 feet below
sen level. These two points, which
are both In California, are less than
go miles apart. The difference be-
tween them seems small, however,
when compared with the difference be-
tween the highest and lowest point in
Asia. Mount Everest rises 29,002 feet
above sea level, whereas the shores
of the Dead sea are 1920 feet below
it-a difference of Il, 292 feet.
