although l have had some close
calls from might have been serious
wrecks, my only accident came in
the winter of 1873 while l was driv-
ing a freight" said Walter A.
Gowen of Biddeford, in discussing the
other day some of his experiences,
Mr.. Gowen in his experience of over
half a century earned the rating as
one of the best engineers on the
Boston & Maine Railroad. Continued
Mr.. Gowen:
Il had train W. "a loaded cars
hauled by two engines. was at Days
siding between Biddeford and West
kennebunk on the Eastern division
when the train broke apart, the two
locomotives being followed down
grade rapidly by the loaded cars.
The cars came to a stop at the bot
tom and l proceeded to West kenne-
bunk where 1 told the telegraph
operator and the night Waterman to
hold freight e. until l had had a
chance to go back and get the cars.
For some reason the train headed
east didn't stop but came on and
collided with my train soon after l
had started back to West Kenne-
Dullh Will II. Iele was lS1 &c
snowstorm which made it impossible
to see more than a few feet ahead
and before l was fully aware of what
was happening thes accident had
strewn the cars all over the road
bed. Three trainmen were killed in
the collision and how l ever escaped
serious, if not fatal injury, is a mys
terry to me.
Once while l was on the Flying
Yankee l had the distinction of car
rying the distinguished James G..
Blaine's delegates to Boston. On this
trip made record run, covering the
distance in two hours and &c min
utes,"

GREAT AFRICAN DESERT
\ NO LONGER A MYSTERY
Automobile Trips and Flight by
Daring Airmen Reveal Much
Hitherto Unknown.

Correspondents of The Star and the Chcas,
Daily News.
ALGIERS, January 15.-Automo-
bile trips from Algiers to the River
Niger and Lake Tchad and the flights
of daring airmen are serving to make
the African desert less a mystery
than 1t has been. Possibly only a
few years will pass before the Sahara
becomes a popular resort to which
travellers anxious to escape the noise
and hustle of modern cities will re-
tire for rest in the quiet cases How
ever that may be, the fact is that
there are more outside visitors to the
desert now than ordinarily in the
past. Prominent among them are
scientists who live among the Saba
ran tribes, studying their language
and customs In an endeavor to learn
from whom they are descended and
what their ancestors were like.
Meanwhile modern caravans, that is
to say, caravans of motor cars, are
making the desert more and more
known. Recently a mission" which
left Colomb-Bechar with cater
pillar" cars, reached Lake Tchad
The firm that sent the mission is
organizing regular weekly service
from Paris to Tim buktu. The jour
ney from Colomb- Bechar will require
about seven days. A mission that
included Marshal Franchet d'Esperey
and left Colomb Bschar with several
auto cars arrived at
Bourem. on the Niger. eight days
later and went on its way down to
kotonu, in Dahomey. And. by the
way, all the Sahara has just been
travelled over for the first time by
lady. Mime. Delinguette. who accom-
panied her husband. a captain in the
French army, who Joined his military
post at Finder. The French air min
istry Is planning a regular aerial
service to connect the Mediterranean
Sea with the Niger Thus the Sahara
no longer protected by its vast sand
expanse, is to become the trait
d'union" between North Africa and
the black country.

NEW YORK CURB MARKET

129%. 1t is known that strong bank
ing interests are sponsoring the
market for the stock and are taking
this opportunity to work for higher
prices
Weakness persisted in Freed Else
mann. the price dropping below 19
for the first time. Selling appeared
to be the result of liquidation by tired
holders in view of the failure of
directors to do anything regarding
dividends.
Hazeltine Corporation continued
strong, in anticipation of highly ia
vorable annual report, due next week.
The oils as a group attracted little
attention, but special buying in the
low priced Columbian Syndicate car
ried the price up almost point on a
heavy turnover. The public utilities
moved irregularly, but were for the
most part higher. Electric Bond
and Share was bid up points at one
time, but others of the group were
only fractionally higher.

SMOKELESS POWDER MAY
BE STORED UNDER WATER
,rrespondence of the Associated Press.

correspondence OF the Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, January Is
Experiments conducted by the Army
have demonstrated that smokeless
powder may be stored under water
in cold mountain lakes without
deterioration, 1t was announced here
recently at headquarters of the
9Th Corps Area.
This, 1t was said, probably will pro-
vide method Of storing large guam
titles of powder without danger OF
fire or explosion. The constant low
temperature maintained under the
water retards the decomposition OF
the powder which normally would
take place If 1t were stored In maga-
zines and thus is expected actually
to increase its life by probably 10
years.
Powder which has been in storage
for several years under water" said
the statement, "can be given SIM
pie drying treatment and fred in the
gun for which 1t was originally de-
signed without appreciable variation
in velocity and pressure. These con-
ditions are maintained with little diff
ference whether the powder is stored
in sea water. or fresh water.
Z Three types of powder have been
used in the underwater storage ex-
pertinent. Powder for 75-mm, 1855
nm and 12-inch guns was placed IN
specially prepared boxes provided
with numerous openings to allow
free circulation Of water, and i'm
mersed in the lake to depth Of
about feet. For purposes of
comparison an equal amount of each
kind OF powder was stored In a mag
azine. At the end of six months
samples taken from the lakeawere
found to have undergone no appreci-
able change. either in stability or
ballistic qualities"

NEW YORK, February 20.-The
movement of prices on the curb ex-
change today was precisely the same
as that Of Thursday, namely, that in

Foremost among these was Engi-

in spectacular fashion and established
new high record well above any
previous quotations. 1t had closed at

fore the upward movement subsidized

such sharp advances as have oc-
Cured during the past week. The

favorable reports concerning develop
ments at the property.
