Railroad Man Describes Queer Things, but Cannot Attempt to Explain Them--Does the Edge do Around the Axle? "The wheel that turns under the lo­ comotive or the car has a Ions and queer history." says a writer In 'the Railroad Man's M a g a z i n e , b u t the mystery is still with us, and whirls its hundred ques­ tion marks before our eyes every minute of the day. Of course ev­ ery one believes at the edge of he wheel goes around the axle. But does it? Take the end of any spoke near the tire, or any part of tha tire, and on a still, windless night fasten a candle to it; then back off till nothing can be seen but the candle flame. "Let the wheel revolve slowly, free from the ground. The candle flame makes a circle of fire all right, and goes around the axle. Now lower the candle until it rests on the ground and start ahead. The flames sudden­ ly stops going in a circle and begins to make a wavy line, first high and then low. It goes around nothing at all. "Men with clear minds can perform the experiment satisfactorily by tying a handkerchief around the tire in day­ light, but to do this takes a keen mathematical imagination, because the eye is confused by other moving ob­ jects and is not able to see the hand­ kerchief free from these other In­ fluences. At night the candle flames alone can be seen, so that is perhaps the best time to try the matter out Tie a torch to a locomotive driver and then send the engine slowly back and forth while the observer is off some' hundred feet distant in the dark. The torch does not move in a circle. "Now we will say that a man bas just 'performed this experiment. He has f een with his own eyes that the tcrch does not go around anything at all. but that It simply goes ahead somewhat like a flying machine rising and failing to the wind, coming to a dead stop at its lowest point and go­ ing twice a& fast as the engine when at its highest point. Well and good. "Without touching anything on the first engine, just board a second en­ gine and ride back and forth and watch that torch, or candle flame. This time it goes around the axle. Leave the second engine and stand still on the ground and the flames at once begins the wavy lines. Why is it? No one knows. "The fact that the bottom of an engine wheel always stands still is more easy to learn than the fact that the top of the wheel moves just twice as fast aa the train, but this can be proved easily with a piece of board. "Take a piece of board, say ten feet long, and lay one end on top of the wheel. Now move the engine for­ ward two feet and you will find that the board has gone ahead four feet, just twice as far as the engine. Lay down the board and tie two pieces of string to the wheel, one at the top and the other at the bottom, where It rests on the ground. Now run your engine forward two feet and see what happens. The bottom string has moved forward too, but not nearly as far as has the top piece of string, al- t.hOUjh 111© gtjdS wnrg AVAn nt thfl start." Took His Train Through. During a strike in the coal regions a Hocking Valley coal train was stop­ ped by the strikers about a quarter of a mile from a wooden bridge. The leader of the strikers told the engi­ neer that he must not pull that train through, and the engineer declared that he would. "Come down, Jim!" cried one of the strikers. "We know you too well to harm you. We have a keg of powder on that bridge, and when the boys see you coming, they are going to .light the fuse." "All right." replied the engineer, grimly. "I've promised to pull this train through, and through she goes." With these words he opened the throttle and the train dashed on. The strikers saw the train coming and lit the fuse. On and over the bridge the train went; as the last car cleared the structure bang! went the powder, and the bridge was blown to splinters. The fuse was a quarter-inch too long. British Locomotives. Although the British locomotives, limited as they are by the narrower clearances of tunnels, bridges, etc., have never reached the size of loco­ motives in America, there has been a steady growth in dimensions, and some of the latest engines are ex­ tremely powerful. Thus 10 of the At­ lantic type, built for the East Coast Scottish express use, have a total heating surface of 3.456 square feet, and a grate area of 27 square feet. The barrel of the boiler is 6 feet 6 Inches in diameter and 15 feet 10 % inches in length. The tank has a ca­ pacity of 4,125 gallons of water and 5 tons of coal. The total weight of th» engine alone is nearly 90 tone. Omelettes or Brlles. Senator Martine of New Jersey--the •tanner senator," as it is his pride to be called--was relating in Washing­ ton memories of his farm life. "What quaint minds," he said, "have those New Jersey colored folk who work New Jersey farms! I remember an old uncle who once paused in a job of potato hoeing to sing in my ears the praise of chickens. " 'Chickens,' he said, 'is so accom- modatin'. Dey's so accommodatin', guh. Yo' can eat 'em befo' dey's bawn, an' yo' can eat 'em aft&h dey's dead.'" RECORD AS RAILROAD BUILDER boh Juan Whlttemore Retires at the Age of 81 After Most Re­ markable Career. Unquestionably one of the most re­ markable careers in the history -of American railroading that has fur­ nished so many illustrious examples of brilliant or faithful work is that qf Don Juan Whlttemore, who recently retired as chief engineer of the Chi­ cago, Milwaukee 'and St. Paul rail­ road. Mr. Whlttemore is 81 years of age, he has been building railroads for a little over sixty-three years, and has held the office of chief engineer for the St. Paul system continuously for forty-seven years, or virtually throughout the entire existence of the company. Mr. Whlttemore not only enjoys the distinction of having built and locat­ ed railroads all over the United States and a part of Canada and Cuba while most of the present big transportation systems of the coun­ try were still undreamed of, but he has himself supervised the construc­ tion and reconstruction during nearly half a century of one of the biggest of them all, from almoBt nothing to some 9,000 miles. In fact, the crowning achievement of his life, undertaken at the age of 77, many years after the time of re­ tirement for most men, was the super­ vision in many of the most essential features of the construction of a new railroad reaching half way across the continent This is the Pacific coast extension of the St. Paul system, known since its completion during the last year as the Chicago, Milwau­ kee & Puget Sound railroad, extend­ ing for 1,500 miles west of the Mis­ souri river to Tacoma and Seattle. SAVED BY LIGHTNING FLASH Train With Two Hundred PaMengers Kept From Destruction by Narrow Margin. The engineer of a train that runs between Buffalo and Rochester had a thrilling experience on a recent trip. The train had a clear track, as was supposed, and was running at a high rate of speed. The night was as dark as pitch, and the rain beat unceasing­ ly against the car windows. The headlight was of little use, and the engineer could see but a few yards in advance. Suddenly a flash of light­ ning, followed by a terrific peal of thunder, lit up the track a half-mile ahead, and the engineer saw some­ thing that sent the blood from bis cheeks. A* hundred yards ahead four freight cars were standing on the track. Grasping the reverse lever, he pulled it back to the last notch and shouted to the fireman to put on the air brakes. The great engine creaked and groaned, while the fireman and engineer stood looking In each other's faces, with the cold perspiration on their foreheads. Then the engine tottered and stopped with a shock so sudden that the passengers in the coaches were thrown from their seats, the chandeliers swung from the ceil­ ing and two of them fell to the floor. After the excitement had subsided the engineer and conductor Investigat­ ed the situation and found the pilot of the engine shoved a foot beneath the caboose of the freight train ahead. The flash of lightning was all that saved the lives of two hundred passengers. RARE WOODS FOR ITS TIES Panama Railroad Will Be Laid on Lig­ num Vitae and Other Most Costly Varieties. The Panama Railroad will lay Its tracks over the rarest and most valu­ able cabinet woods. The road Is now being relocated incidental to the con­ struction of the canal over part of the eld line and it has bcCuuic u«c«s- sary to replace the old soft wood. Bight thousand hardwood ties have Just been received at Colon from Co­ lombia. Most of these ties are hewn from Guaicum, or lignum vitae, but there are also many of polvillo, cor- teza and balsamo. T^iese hard woods should last in­ definitely even in the tropical climate of the Isthmus, but they can be laid and railed only by the use of special machinery which bore3 holes for the screw bolts and chisels out faces to form the rail seats. Train Stopped by Caterpillars. Black caterpillars so thoroughly "greased the track" for a short South­ ern Pacific train near here that the engine came to a dead stop three times. The engine was drawing only one coach up the heavy grade be­ tween here and Sisson. When about a mile north of McCloud the first hold-up was made by the caterpillars. The engineer was forced to turn on the sand to make the wheels grip the track. Immediately upon the sand being shut off there was another stop. This was repeated again, so the man at the throttle kept the sand running until he had passed the caterpillar belt.--McCloud Correspondence, sfon Francisco Chronicle. Time Given by Wireless. Two French naval officers have de­ vised a scheme which they are work­ ing, under the auspices of the. govern­ ment. by which they claim to be able to supply all chronometers at sea with the exact time at noon, 8 p. m. and midnight, by means of wireless mes­ sages from the Eiffel tower. By its means the longitude of any vessel can be computed almost instantaneously, and in foggy weather (especially in places where there are Irregular cur­ rents) the advantage will be enor­ mous. Living and Learning. "Why, Tommy, Tommy," walled a startled mother, soothing her young son's battle wounds, after a fight with a larger warrior, "you should have known enough not to fight that huge Smith boy." "Well, mother," phil­ osophized the lad, gamely, "I don't know that I have made such a big mistake after all. Dad says we must live and learn, and I'm still alive and I've learned that 1 duTt lick Jimmy Smith." MACHINE SHELLS CORN Ears Fed Into Hoppe. and Kernels Are Separated Automatically-- Lightens Farmisrs' Burdens. Another device to lighten the farm­ er's labors has been invented by a Nebraska man. This is a machine for shelling corn, and, with it, one man can do the work of a dozen or more by simply feeding the ears into a hopper and turning a Handle. Inside the body of the machine is a series of scrapers between which the cobs pass and these scrapers are so con­ trolled that they will engage ears of Machine Shells Corn. any size. As the kernels are sep­ arated from the cobs they drop Into a chute below the mechanism and are carried into bags waiting at the mouth of the chute. The cobs are ejected from the other side of the machine. Ab can readily be under­ stood, this machine will save a great deal of labor, as the old method of shelling corn by hand was a tedious one at best, and was no gentle opera­ tion even for that type of citizen who has come to be known as "horny- handod." TIMF. FOR HARVESTING OATS Crop Should Be Cut When Grain Is St'll in the Dough 8tate--Haul in Before Heavy Rain. Oats should be cut when the grain is in the dough stage. If cut when the grain is in the milk the grain will be light in weight, and if cut when full ripe there will be a loss of grain in handling, 6ays a Vriter In the Balti­ more American. We endeavor to cut when the milk is out of the grain. The crop is cut with self-binder, mak­ ing small sheaves. Twelve sheaves are set to a shock, and as soon as the straw is cured and the grain hard and dry we haul in as quickly as possible. The crop should be hauled In before a heavy rain, as it is almost impossible to dry the bundles if the straw is once thoroughly wet. It is a hard task to take down the shocks, open out the bundles and spread out the sheaves to dry. Owing to the soft straw and chafT around the grain the moisture dries out slowly, even when the weather Is hot and dry. Grain and labor are saved by getting the crop under cover before showers. After the sheaves are hauled in the field should be raked. These Takings cut fine and mixed with a little mill- feed make an excellent Burfmer feed for the horses. As soon as the oats are under cover the field should be cut over with the two-horse sulky cul­ tivator or the 6teel disk. Run the cul­ tivator both ways. This early work­ ing brings the wild seeds to the sur­ face; it also prevents the soil rrom crusting over. STACK HAY IN LARGE FIELDS Modern Machine Shown Herewith Fa­ cilitates Work Considerably- Labor of 8lx Men. On many western farms hay is stacked in large quantities, and the work is done by help hired by the day. Consequently it Is necessary to push the stacking as fast as possible. The modern stacker shown in the cut with the sweep rake facilitates Western Way of Stacking Hay. this work a great deal, says the Farm and Home. The hay is picked up by the sweep rake in bunch> s of about 1,000 pounds and delivered onto tht stacker. The horse attached to the stacker pulls this onto the pile. Six men can put up hay at the rate of 2f< tons per day with an apparatus such as this, using two sweep rakes, an ordinary rake and one mower. Care of the Lawn. If the season happens to be* a dry one don't mow the lawn oftener than once a week. Frequent clipping causes rapid evaporation of moisture from the soil. Allow the clippings to remain In a dry season. They help to shade the soil and act as a mulch. To do good work with your lawn mower keep I. well-oiled and sharpen it frequently. Keep Tools Handy. By keeping the rake, hoe and long handled shovel at hand one can clean out the droppings from t£e poultry house every morning In just a few moments, and thus guard against the accumulation of filth for the lice and mite pests to harbor in.* For Good Silage. Oats and peas make good silage when there is enough of the crop to make sufficient weight in the silo, or when the crop is run into the lower half of the silo and corn put In on toy to weight down the whole. GRASS OF GREAT IMPORTANCE Great Problem ef Maintaining Fertili­ ty of 8ot1'for Future Crops 8o!ved in One Way. (By W. R. GARDNER.) In attempting to farm without grasses the farmer is lifting without a lever; he is pulling a load with.UM weight on the hind wheels; he Is out- ting with a dull ax. With grass as a basis grains, fruits, vegetables and meat, all the triumphs of farming are possible. The first thing that I would advise all those who contemplate buying a farm to look into, would be its capacity- to i grow clover and other nutritions j grasses and learn what means would j be available for fertilizing such mead­ ows. The grass can be converted Into milk and products into beef, pork or mutton atad returned to the land in the form of manure for the grain crojfS or you' may sell the hay by the ton according to the facts of your particu­ lar locality. I would not advise any one ttt think of buying a farm that did not have at least 20 acres of grass land that would produce at l?ast two tons of hay per acre under favorable condi­ tions. The greatest thrift and profit made by farmers off their farms in ten of the leading agricultural states that I have visited during the past two years have been made by those who make dairying and the growing of live stock their chief reliance. The great question of keeping up the fertility of the soil for future crops can be solved in only one way and that Is by the growing of more clovers and grasses and feeding more live stock and returning all of the manure thus made to the fields. , WHY BE WEAK* , W suffer backache, headache* fllsxiness, weariness, urinary Irregu­ larities and other troubles that arise from disordered, kidneys when re- fs FO isear at hand?

GAS ENGINE FOR FARM WORK Large Wheels of Carriage Make It Easily Managed, Even on Rough Ground--Shown in Africa. At the recent agricultural exposi­ tion in Tunis, Africa, the makers of the Onome motor for aeroplanes ex­ hibited a six-horsepower motor de­ signed for use on the farm, which, while not presenting any novel fea­ tures of motor construction, attracted Gag Engine for Farm Work. much attention on account of its unique mounting which closely resem­ bles a gun carriage, says Popular Mechanics. The large wheels of this carriage make it easily managed even ott! rough ground, and two men can transport it from place to place. The motor is made for gasoline or oil consumption. STORE POTATOES IN WINTER Kansaa Man Gives His Method of Pre­ paring snd Keeping Tubers During Cold Weather. (Bv B. F. MILLER. Kansas.* My way of keeping potatoes during the winter is to select a high piece of ground that will drain Itself well, then I put a lot of hay on the ground and put the potatoes on the hay, piling them up nicely. I then cover with hay or straw as thick as I think best, then put a light layer of dirt on the hay. and as the season gets colder, I put on more dirt To keep potatoes in the spring for summer use, put them in a dark room and give them plenty of air, sprinkling some air-slacked lime over them. Also keep all sprouts off of them, and you will have potatoes until you can raise new ones. The Time to Cut Alfalfa. The time to cut alfalfa hay Is go* erned entirely by the appearance oi the little sprouts at the base of the plant, and not at all by the flowers. Whenever these sprouts appear, it is time to cut the hay. This should be done for the sake of the plants, even though it Is not pos­ sible to save the cutting In good shape. The subsequent crops b« better for It. Location of Silos. Silos should be located where they will be convenient to feed from. This is of great importance. When stock is kept in basement barns the silo should be on a level with the stable floor or lower. Caution should be ob­ served In locating the silo away from the milking-room, as the milk will be- oome tainted If exposed to s strong odor of ensilage at milking time. A full silo makes a fat pocket book. The manure spreader is a profit collector. The lead pencil is the most valuable tool on the farm. Poorly shocked grain is a shocking display of poor farming. You need a silo because with It you can make more money. Manure and disking will renovate the worn out pasture or meadow. Careful feeding is necessary to the economical use of the oat bin. Corn is just right for the silo when it is a little too hard for roasting ears. The most successful growers of al­ falfa recommend sowing the seed spring. Fall rye will make good spring pas­ ture at a time when pasture will be greatly needed. If you watch the thistles carefully ar.d do not let thfem go to seed for two or three years you will rejoice-in their absence. A one inch pipe from the tank on the windmill to the house and another to the bam with 50 feet of garden hose attached to each is a great deal cheaper than a fire. HU«BY QUICK TO SEE POINT Most Married Men Will Understand Just Why That Particular Hat Was So Becoming. Mrs. Jones came downstairs one evening, after dinner, and displayed herself to her husband, embellished with the result of her all-day skirmish­ ing in the milliners' shops. "John." she asked, "how do you like this hat on me?" "Oh, I don't know," he answered. "Have you bought It?" "No, not exactly. I brought it home on approval. I intend to take either this or another one, which is five dol­ lars more than this, but I thought--" "Say, Florence," he Interrupted, "that's the most becoming hat I ever saw you have on.

HANDS WOULD CRACK OPEN "About two months ago my hands started to crack open and bleed, the skin would scale off, and the good flesh would burn and Itch dreadfully. When my hands first started to get sore, there were small blisters like wa­ ter blisters which formed. They itched dreadfully, it just seemed as though I could tear the skin all off. I would scratch them and the skin would peel off, and the flesh would be all red and crack open and bleed. It wor­ ried me very much, as I bad never had anything the matter with my skin. I was so afraid I would have to give up my employment. "My doctor said he didn't th^nk it would amount to anything. But it kept getting worse. One day I saw a piece lu od« of the papers about a lady who had the same trouble with her hands. She had used Cuticura Soap and Oint­ ment and was cured. I decided to try them, and my hands were all healed before I had used one cake of Cuti­ cura Ointment.
