waged unsuccessful warfare against
this personal enemy. At last Peruca
came to the rescue. He writes
"I hava used several bottles of Pe

Some Goettlngen students who had a
keen admiration for , Klopstock, the
'German Milton,'' once found one of
his stanzas unintelligible, and begged
him to explain Its exact meaning to
them. The poet read the stansa then
carefully re-read It-then read It again,
while all looked on with bated breath.
At last he spoke: " cannot recollect
what I meant when Iwrote It, bu.t I do
remember that It was one of the finest
things I ever wrote, and you cannot
do better than devote your lives to the
discovery of its meaning."

FROST DISTURBS RAILROADS.
On Nearly All finsslaa Line It Is an
Ulement of Kipssit.
In a recent Issue of the "Oregon fur
die Fortschritte des Kisenbahuwesuns"
L. von Lublmoff, chief engineer of the
Trans-Siberian Railway, describes an
Interesting phenomenon of frost action
which has been observed on the line of
that railway in Siberia. This phenom

bridges by the action of frost 1 close
ly connected with the extensive frost
disturbances of the roadbed lu general
which are encountered In both Euro

latter effect has been known for some
time, the action on bridge structures
has been noted and studied only during
the last few years, says the Engineer
ing News,
The disturbance of the roadbed by
frost Is a very serious matter, states
Mr. von Lublmoff ; on 95 per cent of
all rtusslan railway line It constitutes
one of the most Important problems of
maintenance of way. The disturbance
occurs mainly In low-lying, wet
ground; the soil In such places Is gener
ally found to be clay overlying or with
Intervening layers of . water-bearing
sand or gravel. The action In prolong
ed cold weather seems to be about as
follows: The earth gradually freeze
downward, and as the molster strata
are reached the contained water causes
them to freeze In thin sbeets or lami
nations. As the frozen layer Increases
in thickness it tends to separate from
the strata below and to form bumps
or hillocks. A succeeding rise of tem
perature produces an open and porous
structure in the frozen layer, and any
water; entering from either above or
below fills the Interstices. When the
temperature again falls this water
freezes and by Its expansion further
rajses 'the swelling.
In time this process produces notice

served as a fly trap. Flies lighted on
