TIME FREIGHT CARS
Traced by Hourly Reports the Whol
Length of Tkoir Run
A freight car is essentially common
property It has to go from one yne to
another in the course of its business
It has to carry loads from Jackson
ville Fla to Spokane Wash from
Phoenix Ariz to Augusta Me If all
the freight cars in the United States
were owned by oue big company and
If that company charged the railroads
for the exact amount of use which
they made of each car the situation
would theoretically be more reaMiuabh
than it is today
Its Power to Resist Its Own Gastric
Juices Is a Puzzle
One of the greatest questions dis
turbing the minds of physiologists
both past and present is that of the
stomachs digesting powers It is
asked why the stomach does uot digest
itself It is well known that gastric
juices have the power to digest the tis
sue of which the stomach Is made
One of the things actually manufac
tured by the body secreted iu the
glands near the stomach and poured
into it is hydrochloric acid a power
ful ageut that will eat up almost any
thing Why it docs uot eat the stomach
up is problematical
It is known that a stomach from a
dead animal or man can be digested
by a living man It has been found
out also that when a man is killed
accidentally and his stomach is in the
process of digesting if the body be
kept warm his whole stomach will be
digested and possibly too adjacent
organs as liver pancreas etc From
this it was argued that the principle
of life kept the process from going
on in a living being Subsequently
however this was proved to be untrue
A living frog was put in an uncon
scious condition and his leg inserted
through a small hole in a dogs
stomach the dog being alive aud well
It was found that the frogs leg was
wholly digested in the process al
though living So the last reason con
ceivable was proved incapable of ex
plaining the phenomenon
About the only conclusion left is that
the stomach does gradually actually
eat itself up but that it is being con
stantly rebuilt However as this ex
periment is hard to perform and as no
results have so far heen announced in
this directum we are left In a state of
absolute ignorance and all we can do
is to be devoutly thankful to Provi
dence that our stomachs do not digest
themselves except in the ordinary
course of human events Lawrence

William Hard in the Technical World
Magazine
The modern hunter of freight cars
is not satisfied with knowing where
all the cars on his own lines are at the
end of each days run Modern busi
ness life has become so rapid that In
the case of certain kinds of freight it
is necessary to know just where each
car is every few hours This kind of
freight Is called time freight
Ordinary freight is dead freight
Time freight consists only of certain
materials These materials run alpha
betically all the way from asbestus
through cranberries egg case fillers
ink peanuts and varnish down to
zinc AH cars in time freight trains
are reported by telegraph from all di
vision points
You can stand in front of a big board
on the wall it Is like the board in a
stockbrokers otlice except that it lias
little holes in It aud watch the prog
ress of the curs in a time freight train
from point to point As the telegrams
come In the pegs are moved from hole
to hole If you started a carload of
varnish from Chicago to Omaha last
night you can come in today and see
just wheie that car is You can watch
it ail the way to Omaha on the board
It is a cruel humiliation for the
freight car It used to be a wild stray
animal but now it is tamed and do
mesticated Just as we now have mu
nicipal lodging houses for tramps so
we have telegraph record boards for
freight cars Pretty soon nobody will
be able to escape from the authorities
It Is only occasionally under modern
methods a freight car tracer has to go
out and bring it home by force

AN INGlSnOUS OBAFT
sympathy for the much overworked
George or for financial gains a
Danish inventor has just devised and
placed on the market a craft that will
save the Georges much physical ex
ertion in that direction
This is a two man power paddle
boat which is driven forward by
means of pedals that turn paddles
and while of course it hasnt tho
speed of the motorboat fast time can
be made with every little effort This
ingenious craft is attracting much at
tention and many have been ordered
for summer resorts all over the world
a number having been purchased in
America The inventor is said to be
reaping a harvest from his new boat
That marvelous invention the tele
writer which was invented a short
time ago Is now giving such remark
able results that it is becoming more
and more indispensable This won
derful instrument transmits in exact
facsimile written messages and in
business transactions particularly the
advantage of a written over a spoken
message is obvious Moreover the
message is recorded whether the sub
scriber rung up is in or not yet an
other advantage which it has over the
telephone to which it can be added if
necessary Many countries are inter
ested in the invention
A telewriter exchange will soon he

twenty one years lease enabling such
exchanges to be formed The

writer in the illustration is seen writ
ing a message to go to another town
begging for a pamphlet containing
particulars of this extraordinary in
vention which in reality is the out
come of a vast amount of patience
nnd ingenuity and a considerable sum
of money has been expended to perfect
it
By its aid we can send our own par
ticular handwriting over an indefinite
length of wire as easily as a telegraph
clerk transmits messages in the Morse
alphabet In fact -whatever the hu
man hand does at one end of the wiro
that will be faithfully reproduced by
a similar machine at the other end
even though it be many hundreds of
miles away Telegrams of the future
may thus play an important part in
breach of promise cases
Army circles the world over are
keenly interested in the experiments
now being made with a new invention
for use on battlefields This is an oil

MANY KINDS OF FLEAS
About 400 Different Species Are Known
to Naturalists
One of the tirst naturalists who de
voted themselves to watching fleas
with such microscopes as were then
available was Leeuwenhoek a Dutch
man who lived at the end of theseven
teenth century Leeiiwenhoo 1im h
ered that a small mite fed on the tlen
and it was this discovery which in
spired Swifts familiar lines
So naturalists observe i Hen
Hath smaller tleas thai on him prey
Ann these nave smaller Mill to bite em
And so proceed ad infinitum
The Ileas parasite however to be
uccurate is not anuther flea or
even another Insect but is a mile
classed among the sarcoptidae IJn
naeus writing In 171S described onlv
two species of flea The tirst which
was the human flea he rightly named
Pules irritans The second was the
chigoe of hot countries To this on
account of its burrowing habit he
gave the name of Pulex penetrans At
the present day about 400 different
species of fleas have been described
and named by the small band of scien
tilie men who have devoted themselves
to their study Most of these have
been discovered within quite recent
years so it is probable that many new
forms and varieties will be collected
and observed Elarold Russell in Lou

OLD TIME HAT STAMPS
Death Used to Be the Penalty In Eng
land For Forging Them
Hats have iu England been subject
to very severe protective enactments
The blocked beaver hat for instance
imported by Sir Walter Raleigh from
the Low Countries won its way so
rapidly that In 1371 Queen Elizabeth
passed an act to protect the making
of thrummed caps made from wool
for the advantage of the larded pro
prietors whose sheep furnished the
material The statute provided that
every male person shall ou Sundays
and holidays wear on his head a cap
of velvet wool made in England pen
alty 3s Gd per day
About a century later the law for
which there is nothing too high or too
low having taxed mens shoes turued
its attention once more to their hats
and soon put a check on all improve
ments in the trade by requiring every
vender of hats to take out a license
under a heavy penalty Subsequentlj
a stamp duty was imposed on all hats
which were officially marked inside
where the makers name now appears
The penalty for selling a hat without
a stamp was 10 and the penalty for
forcing a hat stamp was death
whence no doubt the modern custom
of the man who goes to church sits
down looks into his hat to read bK
makers name Loudon Chronicle
An English Sanctuary
Beverley miuMcr ISO miles north of
Loudon is the shrine of St John of
Beverley who died in the year T21 In
D3S Athelstan kiug of Euglaud gave
several privileges to the monastery
one being the privilege of sanctuary
This was not merely for man slaying
I it was open to all wrongdoers except
those who had been guilty of treason
For ordinary offenses such as horse
stealiug cattle stealing being back
ward in accounts or being in receipt of
suspected goods a man came into
sanctuary about a mile from the mon
astery or church There used to be
four crosses on the main roads leading
to Beverley marking the limit of the
area In cases of manslaughter and
murder it was uot sufiicieut to be with
in one of these crosses Before the
fugitive could claim sanctuary he must
enter the church and seat himself in
a stone chair known as the frid
stool or freed chair To this place
many fled for refuge from all parts of
the country
