a Vermont line recently made a trip

vance in American railroading tbe
modern locomotives the heavier
raiU the signal ay stems the im-
proved cars the new roadbeds the
automatic brake or the new meth-
ods ri fcwittliitiR1. Allowing all the
important" of alt these he declared
the chief improvement ia the .safety
celerity and profit in American rail-
roading to be the present system of
double tracking which is being stead-
ily extended to nil m'tu i!ur wf tbe
country says a railway authority.
At the beginning of J901 there were
102000 tnilea of wain or single track
on the railroads of the United States
end 12000 miles of econd track. Ten
years before that there were 156000
miles of main or single and 8O0o
miles of double track.
In the ten years intervening the
amount of double track increased 50
per cent. while the amount of single
track increased less than 25. At the
present ratio of growih in a few
years the chief railroad systems will
have their main lines all double
tracked all the branch subsidiary
and feeding lines which constitute
a very large part of every railroad
system do not require double-track
service.
On a single-track line having a
large business the running of trains
on schedule time ia practically im-
possible and the danger of accidents
by collision or derailment i much
greater. A single breakdown para-
lyses the whole line and the main-
tenance of sidings ia a continual item
of cost requiring great care in opera-
tion. For all three reasons double track-
ing has come to be considered an es-
sential to up-to-date railroad serv-
ice. There were even at the last
computation 1100 miles of third
track on American railroads and 900
miles of fourth track. The remain-
der of the mileage is made up of sid-
ings and yard tracl

There are 1145 employed in making
women's skirts and similar garments.
Nearly 8000 are in the stocking fac-

A curious clock is described as bar-
ing beeu recently put into commis-
sion in a fcmall western town. The
machinery which is nothing but a
face hand ' and lever Is connected
with a geyser which shoots a column
of hot water every 38 seconds. This
spouting never varies to the tenth
ot a second. Every time the water
spouts up It strikes the lever and
moves the bands forward 38. seconds.
The wedding of Robert Judy and
Mrs. Klizabetu Bradley of Slaryville
the other day was unique in some
ways. The groom a widower of Ii
winters has five children one bojr

of 72 summer!! also has five children
four boys and one girl. Mrs..Bradley
was a boarding-hoime keeper and
eight months dragged by before suc-
cess crowned the wooing of the ar-
dent lover and bis blushing sweet-
heart promised to be his. Each is
wealthy and they hare made a con-
tract that each shall retain his or
her belonging's and that each shall
provide oue-hiilf of the cost of living.

Of course;' she didn't mean to play
upon word (for it ia no joking matter)-
but Mrs. Dc Broci-cte thinks it
is a "burning ibaine" the way she
was tricked out of a load of hard
coal by an unscrupulous neighbor the
other day. She had a "stand-in"
with the coal merchant from whom
she had been getting her fuel supply
for years and when she received his
promise that the coveted coal would
be promptly delivered she went away
in a' jubilant frame nf mind nml
"blaw herself" for several desired ar
ticles or wardrobe before she
reached home. But the coal did not
come that day nor the next. And
as the chillinir zenhvrs nf niirht rn
over the hounehold and emphasized
ine necessity of an early replenish-
ment of the coal bin the began to
grow anxious. Next morning sie
struck a pace down to the nHir nf

had not been delivered as promised.
