DANGEROUS RAILROADI NG.
Difficulty in Securing Roll-bio Engl-
neora and Trainmen
(Butte Inter-Mountain.)
“One of the greatest difficulties of
the real mountain roads. like the Colo-
rado Midland. the Rio Grande Western,
and the Denver and Rio Grande is in
getting engineers," said Charles A. De.-
vidson, city passenger agent of the Rio
Grande Western road.
Mr. Davidson is familiar with all the
inter-mountain roads. where the trains
have to all but fly to reach some of
their destinations.
”One. might suppose that all roads
would look alike to the experienced en-
gineers. but they don't.
of the prairie roads an engineer can
take a run on any new track almost
as well as on one he has traveled for
years and knows with his eyes shut.
But here in the Westit is different.

road builder than have ever been erect-’

‘Ourionsiyjenougb. club women are or.
paradoxical, coming from the express
slve sex, but the idea is not as ridicul-
ous a it might seem.
The talking teacher deals particular
ly with the impromptu speech. There
are countless women who “thiukthsy
think" until they try to think on their
feet. and after an unbecoming code of
hys terics on the platform in an en-
deavor to express an elusive thought to
a thousand critical lorgnettes, many of 1
them despairingly decide they we're
bmn to blus unseen.
To begin with. the presiding genius
of speaking pniciivitles is pretty apt
to say there is no-such thing as an im-
promptu speech.,, What appears to be
an extemporaneous effort is the result
of really serious thought at a previous
time. By a confuse of training. which
enables the falr'spechlfler to cinclseiy
clasify her ideas, and to overcome that
eternal stumblingylock, self~conaclous-
nose, or "ego-mania.” as it . is more
cleverly called. she may stop before a
mulittude and speak her mind with no
uncertain sound. Otherwise she will
have to follow the advise of Miss Fran-
ces Willard, and “always carry her no
promptu in her pocket."
The trouble with many platform pa-
raders is they have positively nothing
to say. They are continual reminders
of George ‘Eliot‘s character~"Some
folks' tongues are like the clocks as
run on strlnkin’ not to tell you the time
o' the. day, but because there's sum-
mat wrong' i'.their own inside." it a
woman is full of her subject, on the
other hand. she forgets herself in an
earnest effort to pass along a “good
thing." and speaks in a maner calcu-
lated to .bring out effusions from the
most exacting talking teacher.
After all. Edward Everet Hale laid
down a splendid rule for the speech-
maker when he said, “HaVe something
to say; Say it. Stop."

head.
“You would be surprised at the num-
ber of young engineers who are on
the mountain roads. For one thing. a
man does not last there as he does on
a less picturesque. more prosaic run.
It takes youth and strength and cour-
age of a rare order to stand it at all.
The companies are the most appre-
ciative in the world. for they realize
how hard it is to get a good man. and
they treat a good man right royally.
But even this does not attract a sur-
plus of the right sort.
“The principal dangers are in the
heavy grades and in the sharp curves,
though landslides are far from un1
known. One must know his train and
his road like a book to get through
with his life on the Marshall Pass. for
instance. where you seem to plunge
headlong down the mighty hill. A l‘OCii
on the truck. a broken wheel. a run-
away car. or a failure of the brakes
to work would end in a smash-up that
would startle the whole country. Tilt-
hlll might be a glude of ice or frost;
it might be wet or snowy. and if you
set the airbrake too hard, so as to start
the wheels to sliding. down the hill you
go like a gigantic toboggan. with death
and destruhtion at the end of the ride.
The. management of the alrbrake and
knowing where the. curves and danger-
osr places are is the greatest part of
an engineer's education in the moun-
tains.
For my own part. knowing the dan-
ger as i do. i feel nervous after rid-
ing a hundred miles over the wildest
parts of the roads. even as a painting-
er. l rode through the Royal Gorge on
the engine a few weeks ago. and was
glad when the ride was over. It makes
a fellow feel trembly like to think
what might be. though the worst rare-
ly happens. Such is the care taken in
equipment and in getting'the best men
that the mountain roads have as small
a proportion of losses as the dead-level
roads of the plains. But it takes a man
of nerve to pilot a,traln through-some
of the wilder regions. ‘
"A freight train is the worst. in that
it is much heavier than a passenger.
and is expected to make almost the
same time. All the heavy stock trains
going east. twenty-flycto thirty cars,
make passenger schedule. A freight is
so loosely coupled as to be very un~
manageable at critical points. The
stock trains are the terror of the en-
gine drivers and all the train men.
“A fellow isn't necessarily a coward
when he throws up his job as engineer
over the mountain roads. after seeing
what the dangers are. Not one pas-
the same danger. The position calls
for absolutely steady nerve. and one
who feels that he is likely to get rat-

FLOATING GARDENS iN RUSSIA.
in a paper in the August Century. on
“America‘s Agricultural Regeneration
of Russia." Alexander Hume Ford de-
scribes the floating gardens that are a
feature of certain great Russian
streams.
Along these great water courses.
which American drcdgcs are constant~
ly deepening, are to be found the most
extensive and productive farms of Bus
sin. in a rich agricultural country in
tersectcd everywhere by rivers and
canals, it is not surprising that a nov-
el method of presenting object lessons
to‘ the tillers of the soil has been evolv-
of.
The Russian educators in casting
about for the best means of cconomb
rally fulfilling their mission decided to
experiment with immense floating gar~
dens hundreds of feet in length. These
great barges. built wide enough to give
a comfortable area for the laying out
of a garden, are launched with the
breaking up of the ice. As these float
lug agricultural experiment stations
drift down-stream to warmer cllmes.
the seeds sprout. and grain grows and
eventually ripens. ‘
On the deck of the great barge is an
extensive building, the residence of the
professors of agriculture who have the
statidn in charge. and a smaller house
for the crew. The size of these build
ings. however, is dwarfed by the its»
menslfy of the barge. On its great
broad deck, besides the vegetable and
train beds, are various working mod-
els of beehives: for the gomrnment is
bending cvcry energy to‘ revive this in-
dustry once famous in Russia, when
honey mead was the national drink.
As the barge journeys with the cur
rent. it stops at .every village. The
church hall is rung. and the people
gather from the fields to be led by the
starosta or mayor, to the floating farm.
They are invited aboard. where the
various plants are explained to them
while illustrated lectures are some
times given on the advantages of di-
verslfied farming. The questions of
the peasants are intelligently answer
ed, and seed is often left with the most
enterprising for planting.
So far the barge. experimental farms
have proved the most efficient method
of spreading the new‘ knowledge of
farming in Russia, for the country is
one vast plain. The great rivers flow-
ing southward through the rich agri-
cultural prairies take their rise in the
dense forests of central and northern
Russia. Here the great barges are
built late in the fall", the spring fresh.
cts are made to save the expense of
launching. and when fall comes again
the wood of the ,barges can bcsold in
the treeless southern country. where
wood is dear and thus made to pay the
expenses of the trip down stream.

Flies mulihly at a prodigious rate;
Given a temperature sufficiently hlg
to hatch the eggs, their number are on-
ly limited by the amount of food avail-
able for them. Linnaeus is credited
with the saying that three meatflles, by
reason of their- rapid multiplication
would consumem dead horse quicker
than would a lion. and the fact that
certain diptera having some outward
resemblance to the honey-bee lay their
eggs in the dead carcasses of animals
probably led Samson and Virgil to
make erroneous statements with re-
gard to the genesis of honey and the
manufacture of bees. The breeding of
“gentles” for ground-bait is an indus~
try the practicers of which could prob-
ably give mucb information as to the
nicety of choice exercised by flies in
selecting material for feeding and our
laying. According to Packaru the
housclfly makes selection of horse-
dung by preference for oviposlting, and
as each‘femsle lays about 120 eggs and
the cycle of changes from egg to fly is
completed in less than three weeks.
is seems probable that a female fly
might have some 25.000.000 descend
ants in the course of a hot summer.
Other varietiesof files multiply, i be
lleve, still more rapidly. ,
As flies multiply upon and in organ-
ic refuse of every kind. it is obvious
that the sooner such refuse is placed
where it connot serve for the feeding
and batching of flies the more likely
is the plague oflflies to be lessened
The most cemmonly available method
for the bestowal of organic refuse is
burial. The eggdaying of flies in dead
carcasses commences at the very in
stant of death, or even before (loath
in the case of enfeebled animals.
