This Was a Record Train
During the past week the heaviest
train ever brought into Lincoln
reached here from the east It came

terminal on time and was made up
of 3274 tons exclusive of engine and
caboose and carried ninety nine load
ed cars The train was about 4550
feet in length more than four fifths
of a mile
One remarkable tiling about this
train was that every car carried re
venue freight Every car was air
brake equipment The train was pulL
ed by one of the new series of freight
engines the 5110
Longer trains than this have been
hauled on Nebraska- lines but none

been carried in Nebraska in a single

GIBRALTAR
The Key of the Mediterranean Has
Had a Stormy History t
England has been in possession of
the rocky promontory of Gibraltar
since 1704 From that time to this it
has been a crown colony under the ad
ministration of a governor By reason
of its important strategical position it
is called the key of the Mediterra
nean
Gibraltar has had a stormy history
In 711 the rock was taken by the Arab
chief Tarik who called it
Hill of Tarik and built a for
tress on the promontory Part of these
ruins are still extant In 1309 it was
taken by the Castilians only to be re
captured by the Moors in 1333 It was
held by them until 14G2 Following the
taking and sacking of Gibraltar in
1540 by Barbarosso extensive military
works were built there by order of
Charles V
In 1704 the promontory was cap
tured by a combined force under Sir
George Rooke and the Prince of Hesse
Darmstadt fighting for the Arcbduke
Charles of Austria The moment it fell
into their hands the British admiral
threw off the alliance with the Aus
trians and took complete possession of
the works
British possession since that time
has been unbroken although it wsi
under a Spanish sie je fur nearly three
years and eight months lieiriirim in

THE GULF STREAM
No Material Change In Its Course In
Modern Times
Much has been said in recent years
in regard to the changing route of the
gulf stream Indeed the character of
this steady consistent and unswerving
body was getting so maligned that tbe
government looked into tbe matter
with the result that this mysterious
current of the ocean was entirely vin
dicated Experts declare that there is
no change in tbe course nor has there
been for many years
No other physical feature of the
ocean is subject to more persistent
misinterpretation than is the gulf
stream All vagaries of climate are
laid to its charge It is a pet theory
of many that the temperature of Eu
rope is greatly affected by it but this
idea is held by high authorities to be
erroneous It is not as extensive as is
commonly thought Practically start
ing at the Florida strait where its
volume is made up by the union of
currents it ceases to be a true cur
rent by the time it reaches the south
ern limit of the Grand banks where it
becomes surface drift governed by the
winds
The government experts aver that
there has been absolutely no material
change in the gulf streams course in
modern times New York Press
Young Americas English
What is the most incorrect sentence
any of your children ever get off
asked a Glenwood schoolteacher re
cently at the Schoolmens club
One of mine got this off not long
ago responded a young man who
teaches at the Robert Morris school
It aint hisn like but yourn
My best said another teacher ran
something like this Rare roast beef
is meat what there aint none whats
any underdunner
The best one of the afternoon was
furnished by a Germantown teacher
Hero is one he said which has the
old classic He seen his duty and done

Young Eagles
An eagle lives from SO to 1G0
years The young birds are driven
forth by their savage parents to pro
vide for themselves as soon as they are
able to fly No training is given them
by tbe old bird That is left to their
wild instincts which hunger and ne
cessity develop There is no going
back to the old home for the young
eagles The mother bird tears up ev
ery vestige of the nest and if they
emit plaintive shrieks the old birds
dart at them and push them off the
crags or rocks and thereby make them
take to their wings It takes three
years for a young eagle to gain its
complete plumage and strength
The Variable Star Algol
The most noted variable star in the
universe is Algol which changes its
brilliancy so remarkably that It was
noted by shepherds of Mesopotamia
many years ago It is now known that
Algol is not one star but a double one
There are two suns revolving around a
common center one of which is blaz
ing like our sun and the other is dead
like the earth Thus when the dark
sun partially intervenes between us
and the burning Algol much light is
cut off

Women in a New Field
Woman has invaded another field
that man has heretofore considered
ais exclusively A young woman Miss
Daisy Ogden has been made division
superintendent of a territory on the
Burlington railroad between Water
town 111 and Betterdorf Iowa She
had to pass a good many men in ris
ing to her position and did it by
superior service The company must
have found that Miss Ogden would
make a better division superintendent
than any man it had available for the
place or it would not have given it to
her So let the men not resent her
advancement nor grudgingly give her
