When President Nicholas Murray
Butler was nt college, certain fresh-
uen of his time made no scruple of
Stealing a pail of milk which a dairy
man daily placed outside the door of
Sir. Butler' room while the occupant
was In cless. In order to foil the ma
rauders, the future president of Co
lumbia composed, one day. a formid
able legend, which he printed In very
deep letters, and placed over the pall.
It read: "I have poisoned this milk
with arsenic." t'poti Ills return he
found the milk intact, but added to his
notice were these appalling words: "So
have we."
There was once an early day miner
who. after many years, made his pile,
and. coming down to San Francisco,
looked about for the most splendid res
taurant he could find. He wanted to
make up to himself In one glorious
night for all his privations and hard
fthlps of many years. When he found
his restaurant, and the waiter handed
him the bill of fare, he found It was
'n a language that Is not commonly
ipoken in mining camps, and that he
;ould not make out anything but tiie
prices, which were extremely high. So

Marvels nf Luntlcne Gardening
Transplanting Giant Trees.
If there Is one branch of horticul
ture In which vast improvements have
been made of late years It is hind
cape gardening. It Is now po.-a ble
to make luxurious scenery out of a
tiarren waste, and transform n piece
nf ground which a fanner would d

However fiat and stony the ground
limy be, the landscape-maker will soon

course is to obtain a plan of the

to the girth of the tr-e. This being
done, a channel Is made on each side

through Its roots, In which powenul
beams are insert"d. Hound these

ADVANCE IN RAILROADING.
How Transportation Facilities Hart
Been Improved in Past Few Yeara.
American railroads, from roadbed
and bridge to engines and cars, have
been completely rebuilt or remodeled
In the last ten years, writes Herbert
Lawrence Stone In the World Work.
Most of tiie equipment of a decade ago
is now In the scrap heap. The tniini
ol today are heavy, long ami swirt,
and on many of the greatest railroad-
new bridges have been required for
theui over every rivr. ere -k and cul
vert and often new and heavier rails.
The American railroad problem hai
iceii to Increase the tonnage of a train
to be handled by a single ioeomouv
and crew. A locomotive with a single
crew tloes as much work as three loc-
tnotives and three crews formerly did.
A passenger train of sixteen cars,
most of them heavy sleepers, whosj
weight has greatly increased of In 1
is not now an uncommon tram, lor-
merly such a train would have been
run In two or more sections. And
eighty to ninety, and In some case
even I'Xi or Ho curs to a freight trabl
are not unusual. Indeed, on many
main lines where the grades are not
bad. the "'through freights" will aver-

superintendent or yardinaster wl:j
starts one with fewer risks a repri
mand. In l-H'.t'J the average weight of a pas
senger locomotive, wnu teim-i, nui
alMiUt seventy-live tons. The latest
tjpe of locomotives with tender, de
signed for the same service, weigh!
more than i2 tons. Only ten year
o the famous No. .) of the Ne.v
York Central, exhibited at the Chicago
World's Fair, was looked upon as a
iiarvel in size and sliced; yet it weigh-
, . -.... i i. i -i
ed only 1"- tons, as against. "
tons of tlie present passenger engine.
In the same year the average weight
of a freight locomotive was cighty-tivi
tons. The latest type of compound
freight engine weighs 181 Va tons and
will haul more than 4.(XK tons of
freight. Its tender will hold twelve
ions of real, as against the Ave or six
of the old type.
Another radical departure Is the netv
gravity yard for switching and making
up freight trains. Heretofore nil
freight yards have been built on tho
level and the switching has been done
by many engines.
The gravity yards are built on r.q
incline, so that a car with but a slight
start from an engine will run the
ienirth of the vard (often two miles
and a half or more) by Its own momen
tum, being switched In transit uimn
any desired track.
SMELLS MOVE BUT SLOWLY.
Home Odd Facta Kelntlve to Odor th.
Are Not Oenerully Known.
It has been ascertained as the result
of experiments conducted by Frofes
sor Zoleny of the University of Min
nesota that the diffusion of odors
through the atmosphere Is much slow
er than Is commonly supposed. The
Professor has Investigated this pho
tiomeiion experimentally mid he finds
that It takes the odor of ammonia at
least an hour and a half to make lt
way to the opposite end of a glass
tube about live feet long. With the
Jilen of throwing some light on the
character of odors that Is, whether
or not they actually consist of tangi
ble physical particles of subatomic
size, the experiment was tried of al
lowing the odors to ascend and de
scend glass tubes and noting the time
of their diffusion.
One ourlous phenomenon noticed in
this connection is tluit the odor of
camphor ascended twice as fast as It
descended, while ammonia diffused
equally rapidly In either directum. It
is asserted that It Is the penetrating
hydrogen sulphite odor carried by
slowly ascending currents of nlr that
the vulture class of birds that feed
on carrion are able to locate their food.
These birds are often seen sailing
round and round all day long until
dually, some! lines after tho lapse of
two or three days, they have been
able to trace tho smell of their food
from great altitudes downward to Jt i
location on the ground.
As Professor Moore declares, the dis
tance from which they come, often
UNI miles and sometime from an
altitude of 10,0)0 feet, "give sonic Idea
of the gentle slope of these so-called
ascending currents which are twist
ed and contorted Into every Imaginable
shape by the wind."

"Tbe reason for deporting strlkeis

was the dynamite outrage of June

miners were killed and the subse

Jutifies The Deportation
CRIPPLE CREEK. Col. General
P. ell has given out a statement con
croiiif$ bis action in deporting
s tikers and tbe causes lep.ding
up to tbe same. He attributes
the recent troubles growing out of
the miners' strike and the strike
Itself to the socialist element In tbe
western federation of miners, who,
he says, captured the organization
two years ago. He declare that tbe
federation has made unioLlsni a
Secondary consideration aod that the
O'ganlzatlon, root and branch, is
being made a vehicle for the pro
tintlon of socialism. Tbe leaders,
be asserts, have not hesitated to
Muse "weak and willing members to
commit crimes, to strike terror to
property owners and in worklngmen
who refuse to abide to their dictates.
"Murder of non-union men by
blowing up the Independence station,
the charges, "was perpetuated with
the aid and advice of federation
leaders and by men In tbetr em
ploy." The only hope for peace and
Security of life and property was
"to exterminate the federation from
the camp."
Practically all tbe large mines in
this district, which closed down
last Monday after the explosion at
Independence, are working today.
The Portland mine has not yet been
reopened, and tbe company has not
announced Its plans. Tbis Is the
only large mine in toe district in
which union mlnershavebeen em
ployed during tbe ten months since
beginning of the strike. It has
been conducted on tbe "open shop"
plan and nearly half tbe force of 400
meo laid off when Geo. Sherman M.
Bell ordered tbe mine shut down
were non-union miners. General
Bell declares tbat no member of the
western federation of miners will be
permitted to remain in tbe camp,
and that the Portland company con
lequently will be forced to fall in
line wltb tbe policy of the other
mioe-owners who organized to fight
the miners' federation.

With a parting of rifle bullets
tired over tbe heads by the militia
and deputies to warn them to
"hike" eastward as fast as their
legs could carry them and never
again set foot in Colorado soil,
ninety-one union miners from the
Cripple Creek district were unloaded
from a special Santa Fe train on the
prairie today, one-half mile from the
Uolorado-Kaosas line and left to
shift for themselves. The exiles
were disembarked in haste and with
out ceremony. The guards and
deputies were tired out and In ill

from tbe Teller county gold camp
and were In no mood U extend any
iDeclal courtesies or kindness to
