Evidently Mr. Burroughs,” when he was young, missed one of the common and interesting experiments of country boys. It’s worth trying. A white china washbowl is desir- able to make the test with, as the black hair will show plainly against the white background. Have the one who takes care of a black-tailed- horse pull or cut a hair from the tail. Fill the bowl ‘with .water. Rainwater it seems, we were told to use, but water from the city pipes may produce the same result. Place the bowl in an unoccupied room. Put the horse hair in the wa- ter. In afew days the hair will wig- gle around quite like a snake, but will not increase in size. What causes the hair to move was a puzzle that was not solved. As the hair seemed lifelike, the experiment was considered a success and was not prolonged, which was well, as the final result probably would have been disappointing.

WALKER D. HINES, Director General of Railroads the flow of new capital to expand railroad fa- Work more— Produce more— Save more— But we can’t continue increasing our pro- duction unless we continue increasing our rail- road facilities. The farms, mines and factories cannot in- crease their output beyond the capacity of the railroads to haul their products. Railroads are now near the peak of their carrying capacity. ’ Without railroad expansion—more engines, more cars, more tracks, more terminals—there can be little increase in production. But this country of ours is going to keep right on growing—and the railroads must grow with it. To command in the investment markets cilities—and so increase production — there must be public confidence in the future earn- ing power of railroads. The nation’s business can only grow as fast as the railroads grow. Shis advertisement is published by the Association of Railway “xecutives.
