Denver, Colo., Jan. 18.—The state senate today ratified the amendment to the federal constitution providing for the direct election of United Sate senators. The amendment re- quires the approval of the legislatures | | of thirty-eight states. Five have al- ready approved it. Dust Laying In England. A The highway departmer: of the city of Leeds, England, has recently treat- ed portions of a macadam roadway with granular calcium chloride to combat the dust. Solutions of the lat- ter had previously been tried at greater cost and without such satis- factory results. The road is first well pwept and two applications of the chloride are made on succeeding eve- ings of about one-half pound per pnrd. Well Answered. When he once asked a London plass of girls, added Dr. Macnamara, what they would say if he told them he saw the sun rise in the west, he pot the reply that it was impossible. “But,” he persevered, “supposing I ptill declared I had seen the sun rise In the west?” “Well” one of the girls at length replied, “I should think you must have got up rather Jate.” Rellc of Spanish Armada. An anchor of the Spanish armada period, recovered from the Wallett, a well-known “swatchway,” three miles pit Clacton, England, has been pre- ented to Colchester (Essex) Museum. For generations this anchor has been &0 enemy to the trawls of local fisher- men, but at length one of the flukes became worn partially away, and the last trawl that struck it thus lift- vd it from the ground. False Cables to Exchange. Unknown persons, presumably mem- bers of the bear party in stocks, have recently been taking advantage of the unsettlement caused by the Balkan war to send misleading cables to this city. These messages,” which have been unsigned, have been received by representatives of foreign houses who are stationed at the arbitrage rail of the New York stock exchange. One cable dispatch, which came to sev. pral of these brokers on Friday, just pefore a serious break in prices oc urred, read: “Markets better be. cause Bulgarla refuses to treat di ectly with Turkey.” It was belleved by some of those who got this mes- age that the purpose of the anony- mous sender was to induce them to Euy stocks here in the expectation of isposing of them at a profit in the ondon market. ollowed the “tip.” No one, however, 8ixty Cents Wine Sucoess. Mrs, Alice Ray found tha cost of iving had olimbed beyond the reach iof her husband's salary and she look- d around for some means of bridg- Fflg the gap. With a capital of exactly 60 cents she opened a ocandy shop, fusing her own parlor window as & show winder and buying candy with fglittering “prizes” that attracted the fchildren. When the first 60 cents' [worth of candy was sold she reinvest. d the money. After awhile she be. {gan making her own candy and added cakes and ples to her stock.

In France bread is being made without fiour in & machine that trans- orms the wheat directly into dough. 'he wheat 18 prepared by & thorough washing, after which operation about R pine of tepid water to a pound of grain 18 added, the whole mixture being allowed to stand some six hours when the grains of wheat have swol- len to twice their usual size. The mixture is then treated with yeast and salt and poured into the machine Where simultaneously the envelop and the body of the grain is crushed, making a homogeneous mixture form- Ing a smooth paste. Longest Lived Animal, TUndoubtedly the longest lived an- imal on earth is the whale, its span of existence being estimated by Cu- vier at one thousand years. The next largest animal, the elephant, will, un- der favorable conditions, live four hundred years. The average age of cats is fifteen years, of squirrels sev- en or eight years, of rabbits seven. A bear rarely exceeds twenty years, a wolf twenty, a fox fourteen to six- teen. Lions are comparatively long lived, instances having been reeorded where they reached the age of seventy years.—Tit-Bits. Take His Away.

Thelr Value to Raliroads Necessarily Depends Upon Their Balng Kept in Use, and Perfect: Track of Them ls Maintained. A freight car can move at the rate }Bl sixty miles an hour, but it i3 equal- ly adapted to re- maining station- ary on a siding for weeks at a time; 15,000 miles per year is a com- mon record for & freight car ‘ta travel, and in- stances occurp where cars make as high a mile- age, however, is probably not over 10,000 miles & year, or about twenty-five miles a day. This is because the car stands idle about five days for every one day it is'in motion. 3 & The average life of a freight car, with ordinary wear and tear and occa- sional trips to the repair shop for the renewal of such parts as may have become defective, is in the neighbor- hood of eighteen or twenty years, but there is the possibility of the car be- Ing converted into a shapeless mass before it is a day old. At the present time there are own ed and controlled by the railroads of the United States 2,735,121 freight cars, which, according to the last re- port, carried 1,849,900,101 tons during the year ending June 30, 1911. A freight-car is a great money-earn- er so Isug as it is kept on the move, but from the time it stops rolling un-| til its wheels revolve again it is not paying for the ofl used upon it. It is, therefore, largely upon the managing and controlling of these thousands of freight cars that the interests of a railroad are dependent, and the earn- ings of a road will be directly propor- tionate to the manner in which the cars are kept on the move. As these vast number of cars are |, owned by more than 500 companies, and as each company’s cars are by no means restricted to their home road, it 1s something marvelous how they can be controlled and accounted for both individually and collectively. The methods, however, by which the freight cars' accounts are Kkept are so systematic and accurate that it I8 not difficult for any railroad to have st all times a statement showing the location of its entire equipment. It it is desired to know the where- abouts of certain car belonging to a particular road on some specified date, by calling on the car accountant of that road the in- formation will be at once forthcom- Ing. 1t need be the contents of the car can be given, the number of the train and hour the car left the last station, the number of the engine drawing the train, the names of the train crew, and what cars accompa- nied it on its journey. Some roads are even-able to tell the kind of weather the car passed through while in motion, as well as the hour of day it was loaded and unloaded. This array of figuring does not stop bere, but at the end of every thirty days the mileage is computed and the number of miles each car travels is put down as a part of iits history. So there is a complete record of the move- ments of the car in detail, from its daily location down to the cost of mov- Ing it over the respective divisions of the road in whatever service it should be required. French Railroad Schedules. When a train gets in the habit of being late on an American railroad something drastic is done about it, but on the stateowned railroads of France they have a different plan. On the Paris-Rouen run the time of the express trains used to be an- nounced at one hour and forty-five minutes, but the actual time was two hours and six minutes. arranged the time table to fit that actual elapsed time. What could be simpler? And then the trafic man- ager put across another rearrange- ment. The 7.50 train from Paris got In the habit of arriving twenty-four minutes late. So the traffic boss started it thirty-one minutes earlier, thus getting passengers into Rouen seven minutes ahead of the time it used to be officially due. Dog’s Wonderful Ride. When the owner of a plain collfe, pame unknown, boarded a train at| Bimpson, 111, the faithful animal tried to follow, but was kicked off the plat- form by the “news butcher.” Just as the train started the animal™darted ander it and everybody paused to hear his ki-yis as the wheels ground him to pieces. But there was not a ki-yi. At the next stop, Ozark, the news agent and the conductor took a look at the trucks. The dog was lying across a brake-beam, alive, unscathed and apparently not at all worried. He was chased from his position and the train pulled out, leaving the canine hobo ditched. Spain to Own Railroads. Spain is to follow the example ot sther continental countries and be- come the owner of its railroads. As Bpanish raflways have been notorious for delays and poor management, trav- elers will hope that the change prom- \sen improvemeft in service. Valuable Medicine. !

One of the most prosperous of the Lake Champlain and Moriah railroad, that runs from Port Henry to Mine ville, N. Y, a dstance of between seven and eight miles. In 1910 its net earnings were $51,000, and this year, 80.1t 18 claimed, that amount will be greatly surpassed. It was opened in 1869, so that it is quite an old timer. It has six locomotives, three passen: ger cars and 326 ore cars, It is oper ated almost entirely in connection with the iron mines of Mineville. Last year it moved 626,631 tons of freight. Its surplus is $128,360. Not so bad for a dwarf road. : Public interest in the work of the Tuskegee Institute, Ala., of _which Booker T. Washington is founder and president, to' a very great extent is explanatory of the present prosperity of ‘the Tuskegee Railroad. This road runs from Chehaw, Ala, to the instl- tute, a distance of about six miles. It has only. two locomotives, one pas- penger and one mail and express car, yet in 1910 it earned net $30,773, car- ried 24,487 passengers and paid a di- vidend of 14 per cent. But the little road has had its trou- bles. It was incofporated in 1860; was reorganized in 1871, after its pub- lic sale for debt; chartered in 1902, and opened for traffic about a year later. Between its incorporation and its first. operation its history is that of tedious and intricate litigation. Rallroads in Spain. Spain has just experienced a rallway strike on such an extensive scale that the government has been compelled to call out the whole army to suppress it. Unlike many other European coun- tries, Spain has no state railways, and 64 per cent. of its main line mileage f8 in the hands of two French com- panies. Much of the locomotives and yolling stock have, accordingly, orig- fnated in Continental countries other than Spain, although at present a con- piderable proportion of the rolling stock is being built in the country. There are four British-owned lines. These employ British material, but their combined length is only some 894 miles. 4 The railway system as a whole radi- gtes from Madrid, and few extensions have been made during the past few years. The two chief companies en- tered into a pooling arrangement 3a few years ago, and have thereby much fmproved thelr financial position. Tracks are being improved and dou- bled and the rolling stock on “the through expresses now compares fav- orably with other Continental trains. Speed {8 another matter, but difficult country, barren stretches, and the con- ditions of night travel have much to do with its limitation. Buck: Tangled Under Box Car. Members of an Erle freight crew running between Honesdale, Pa., and Lackawaxen had an interesting expe- rience when their train stopped at Glen Byre. A large buck deer with a head decoration of five double prongs pwam the Delaware river, clambered ip the embankment and without hesi- tation proceeded to crawl under the cars. Several trainmen ran to the scene and one succeeded in grabbing the buck’s tail. * : little fellows among railroads is the |- RIENCED MEN AT WORK ON IMPORTANT 8UBJECT. Prevention of ‘Railroad Aoccldents a Matter to Which Grave Attention Is Being Given, and Resuits " Are Already Seen. Thirty-one: wideawake and season- £d men are helping to make traveling on_ railroads safe in the = United States. The pub- Uc rarely hears any of their names, yet they are officers of the~ national govern- ment, and some of them are usually present before the wreckage of an accident has been gathered up and carried away, writes James - B. Morrow 'in the Philadelphia Reo- ord. Officially these men are known as inspectors of safety appliances. Under the law they are expected to note whether railioads are working their employes more than 16 hours a day and if the cars are equipped with' self-couplers, and their trains—freight and passen- ger—with automatic brakes. The in- Vestigation of accldents, also, 18 an important part of their business. TWo inspectors are permanently stationed in each of the 14 districts which stretch across and up and down the country. ' They read the newspa- pers for reports of bad accidents, and When one occurs they hasten to the Scene and get the facts, shielding no one, neither the railroad nor its train- men, ‘switchmen or telegraphers, it found culpable. Often they are or- dered into action by a telegram from 'Washington. Among them are those who have been locomotive engineers, patchers and trainmasters. ‘At a re- cent civil examination of men hope- ful of becoming inspectors only 41 passed out of about 900 " appli- cants. Over the Inspectors .and chief among them in skill, activity. and in- telligence is H. W. Belknap, once a | telegrapher, and later a brakeman and a conductor. = An inspector must have had eight years of practical ex- perience on a rallway. Mr. Belknop came to his office after a service of 14 years. From the track and from the train he brought to his work an everyday knowledge of signals, of time tables, and of rules and orders and likewise of the human elements which must be reckoned with in the opera- tlon of railroads. He is a compact and hearty man and goes straight to the point of everything. His eyes are keen, his mind 18 quick, and he can talk like a lawyer when such lan- guage is necessary. “This is & big and disputed ques- tion,” he angwered, when_I asked him to name the principal cauges of acel- dents on railroads. “My, own opin- fon is that most accidents are trace- able to man himself, rather than to machinery, broken rails and defects in roadbeds. We print a bulletin every three months giving the facts The animal became tangled in the # time it seemed that it would be cap- tured, but by twisting and turning it managed to extricate its antlers, and wmith a bound it shot from under the car. The tail-hold of the trainmen had | elipped, and before the spectators| realized what had happened the buck | had bounded up the side of the moun- tain to a thicket, where it stopped and viewed the situation. . It watched the crew for a few minutes and then dis- appeared. Was There to Give Advice, Not Ald. “Pat” Burns, one of the old-time en- ineers on the northern division of the issourl Pacific, recently ran into a gplit switch, as the railroad men call it. The jam derailed the wheels of the front truck and the engineer and man, with crow bars, jacks and pther necessary equipment, were earn- estly striving to get the wheels' back on the rail. A villager was an inter- fested observer of the operations and with painful regularity made recom- mendations as to how the work should be done. Burns finally lost patience and ejaculated: “Mister, we're not looking for ad- vice as to how to get this engine back on the track; what we need is help. Put your hand to that jack there and 'plunp a little if you want to particl pate in these proceedings.” But the stranger hastily beat it to- ward the postofice. He was not look- ing for work. May Settle Vexed Question. In the course of a few weeks it is expected ' the electric locomotive in Chicago’s Northwest Side freight yard will be drawing 100 heavily loaded freight cars a day over a mile of track, shunting them onto the correct switch, and sending an equal number of emp- tied cars back to the main line, with almost ‘no disturbance to the resi- dence neighborhood in which the which the work is done. . While the use of electricity is common in pas- senger traffic, this is the first time the current has been used to any large extent - in switching freight cars Doubt as to the practicability ¢f using electric locomatives in Chicago freight yards is considered the greatest ob. stacle to electrification, and record: made by the new line are expected tc help in settling ‘the question. > Queenly Queen. Carmen Sylva, the Queen of Rou- mania, had her eyes bandaged for weeks while she laboriously learned to writée Braille, the raised letters for | the blind. It is said that not only did her eyes ache, but her right hand as well; but by the process she became one of the most. helpful friends the blind people in all- the world have ever had. She established a school | about .serious casualties. Here are pnder construction of the car and for ¢ pujieting covering six months of last year and the first quarter of this year. Go through them and you will find the detalled reports & 48 acck dents, 32 of which were collisions and 23 of the 32 were head-on collisions. Orders were disobeyed, or wrongly given, or signals were disregarded. Only man {is censurable under such circumstances. L ; “The bulletin contains reports of none but the worst accidents. There ‘were 1,674 accldents of that kind dur- ing the first three months of this year. Men grow careless or they try to make up lost time and trains come togeth- er. Then there are hundreds of de- raflments every ‘year—rails or car wheels break or the tracks give way 1" weak spots. The Lehigh ' Valley wreck near Manchester, N. Y., in which 29 persons were killed and 62 injured, was occasfoned by a new rail ‘that was defectively manufactured. “Against my off-hand views on the subject of -accidents, I am wililng to pit the sworn testimony of F. C. Rice, feneral inspector of transportation on a leading western line, who has said that ‘excessive speed was the cause of about 75 or 80 per cent. of the catastrophies in the last few years.’ [ quote Mr. Rice, because he is accu- rate, technically. Every man in the train service of a railroad is geared up to his highest speed physically and mentally. 'The boy who calls a train- jman out of bed is in a hurry. From the time he gets up until he 1is through with his work the trainman is pushed. by spoken word and orders by telegraph. Americans in all walks of life are speed crazy. Moreover, I want to say right here that the rafl- road managers themselves sensation- ally demonstrated to the public that ‘the 1,000 miles between New York and Chicago could be traveled in 18 hours. The people - didn't know anything about it until they saw it done.” Good Polish for Brass. Sift coal ashes fine and mix with kerosene ol to a thick paste; add as much air-slaked lime as can be con- veniently mixed with it. Apply this poligh “to the bright parts, rubbing hard; wipe oft the polish with dry plaked lme.. Whiting and ammonia mixed to a paste is another-good pol- jsh for brass, says the Rallway and Locomotive Engineer.. 2 Case of Nerves.

S Z - When a man has determined to embark in a retail business he will know several things if he is wise. He will know how much he intends to invest -in business, what his expenses will be: what his mar- gin of profit will be, and the amount of business he may reasonably expect to do. The better he knows "each of these the stronger will be his organization, the surer and more certain will be his success. After he has acquired a knowledge of his busi-. ness and ‘is open for business, the first great prob-' lem that confronts him is how to get business—in fact the problem of getting and holding business is the greatest problem in the retail world today. The problem of getting business looks easy to the inexperienced but is in fact most difficult. A merchant may start out personally to drum up busi- ness, but he soon finds this very expensive. The enterprising merchant will soon learn it is far cheaper and more feasible to deputize someone or force to assist, under his careful supervision, in the task of getting business.- ) ‘What medium to use is a matter for each mer- chant to settle for himself, but if we are to judge future ‘success by past success there is no question that the local newspaper is the cheapest and best medium to use in getting and holding business, all things considered. 5 Copyright 1913 by Geo.
