The cumbersome repairs. such as turning down worn drive wheels and replacing boilers. go to the shops, where latbes. cranes and forges are to be bad. But all the minor troubles are remedied at the “stables.” and the fore- man of the roundhouse is responsible for the condition of the engines. He is To do this a stream of oil is fed an- tomatically upon the tire and allowed to burn as it runs down. The result is that the whole rim is soon a circle of flame. This is kept up for.a long time, and the tire. being heated taster than the wheel itself on account of the prox- lmlty of the fire. expands until the thin pieces of sheet iron can be inserted be- tween the wheel and the tire. When the tire has again become cold it contracts and clutches the wheel hard and fast. One of the most. interesting of all the repairs that are made in the round- house is the tightening of the tires on the drive wheels. Each wheel is sur- rounded with a heavy steel tire. These occasionally work loose. and it be comes necessary that they be tightened without sending the locomotive to the shops. An engine seldom comes to the house that does not need repairs of some sort. The delicate mechanism is con- stantly becoming broken. and uncens- [ng attention is required. Throughout this Vwork' keen watch is kept for any signs of broken parts, and any found are repaired. The hundred or more dues are cleaned by steam pressure. I The engine is now turned over to the f roundhouse crew, who go to work on it iat once. The attention that a locomo‘ tive receives on arrival at the round« house is about the same that one would expect to see bestowed upon a race horse. Wipers go over every inch of the surface carefully, removing all dust and oil. Others drop into the pit beneath the machine and wipe the run- ning gear. The headlight is carefully cared for and the brass polished. In fact, the whole machine is put in first class shape in every way. The turntable itself consists of a pit walled with stone, across which is a bridge free at the ends, but balanced at the center on a spindle. Rails are laid across this, as it it were a part of the roadbed. * I J 1' The roundhouse itself is a most unin- .viting place, with its soot begrimed ' walls and smoky interior. These build- ings are all constructed on the same general lines, low, one story structures, generally built of brick and semicircu- lar in shape. The center of the circle is the center of the turntable. Ar- ranged along the inner side of the building is a line of doors, each exactly like its neighbor. Under each runs a track of standard gauge, giving the whole an appearance not unlike a spider’s web, the center of which is the turntable. are cleaned and dumped altogether. The next thing is to stable the great iron horse. ed. Then a few puffs~ bring the fire box above the ash pit, where the fires ed, cars freed from all filth and dirt, seats cleaned, water tanks cared for nnd the lighting apparatus put in order. The locomotive, after leaving the cars, proceeds at once to the round- house, where the ponderous machine also receives a proper overhauling. First of all, the tanks are filled with water and the fuel supply is replenish- To any man all this is interesting. but how many are there in all the vast crowd that enter the city daily at the great terminals who can tell oflhand what becomes of the train when once the cars are emptied of the passengers? . To be sure, they have seen the cars on i a siding out in the yard. They know perhaps that a roundhouse is a place where engines are kept when not in actual use. But beyond this the ideas of the ordinary man are a bit hazy. As soon as the passengers have left a train that has Just come in from a long dusty run it is backed out into the yard, and the cars are set oi! on a side track. Men go upon them at once 1 and begin to put them in readiness for the next trip. The windows are wash- as the train has come to a stop at-some way station; seen him walk slowly about the ponderous machine, feeling or each bearing with his free hand as he filled the cups with oil; seen him per- haps tap a valve gently with a wrench ‘ or examine critically some ill working ‘ air pump.

The mental discipline which may be derived from the practice of stenogâ€" raphy is permanent. Speed may be lost, word signs may slip away, but the power of concentrating the atten- tion persists. Nor is the increased pow- er of analysis confined to the analysis of spoken words. It is brought into play in ail kinds of mental work. Pos- sibly the truth may be that only per- sons with minds naturally analytic can become expert stenographers and that the faculty is a cause rather than an effect of such proficiency. However that may be, the man who has a mind of that sort can select a topic at ran- dom. analyze it rapidly into its natural ’suhdivisions and make a speech or write an essay on it while the other men would be groping around for an introduction. The value of this sort of discipline to a lawyer or preacher or writer is obvious. Mathematics is the only study that can be compared to a scientific system of shorthand for the development of analytical powers.â€"â€" The World Today. 5 7 v v-â€"‘â€"' The tools that do this kill great trees for nothing but a campfire. There is no sense in that wretched practice. A .fire for camp cooking should be built in the open, and nothing is easier. A bare rock is the best place, and if you‘ are to cook by it put up a barrier of loose stones just extensive enough to make a fire as large as a kitchen stove would hold, put a flat stone over these walls, and you will have all you want. You can fry bacon and your ‘ corn cakes and boil your coffee on that [stone This is as good for winter as {or summer. And if you want a hot old campfire clear a place or all com- bustibles and begin small, gradually adding a stick or two, and the heat beneath will soon grow so strong that you can keep it up for as many hours as you please. But be sure that you let it get down to the ashes before you leave. Nobody knows what may hap- pen after you leave a blazing fire. How to Make a Campfire.
