A freight ar In essentially common proierty. It bun to go from oje line to another In tbe course of lu business.' It has to carry loud from Jackson ville, Fla to SK)kuue. Wash.; from Fboenix, Aria, to Augusta. Ale. If alt tho freight cam In the United States were owned" by oue big company and If that comimny charged the railroads for the exact amount of use which they made of each car' the situation would theoretically be more reasonable than It Is today. v , But In any caw the wanderings of freight earn will always entail an enor- v ) i moua niuuuui 01 moor wun pen and i )pencll and telegraph key and typewrli.. i liinif Hl.il u a1 ... I. 1 . William Ilurd lu the Technical World Magazine. The modern hunter of freight cars is not satisfied with knowing where all the cars on bis own lines are at the cod of each day's run. Modern busi ness life has become so rapid that In the case of certain binds of freight It is necessary to know Just where each car Is every few hours. ' This kind of freight Is called time freight. Ordinary freight Is dead' freight Time 'freight constats only of certain materials. These materials run alpha beticnlly all tlw way from asbestus, through cranberries, egg case fillers. Ink. eanuts and varnish, down to sine. All cars In time freight trains are reported by telegraph from all di vision points. a iou can stand In front of a big board I J on the wall It la like the board In a rj stockbroker office except, tbaj It has I MALTED MILK with ess any flavor A Meal in One Glass ' ' ,. v : at.' .

Tou can watch It all the way to Omaha on the board. ' It ,1a a cruel humiliation for the freight car. It used to be a wild stray animal, but now It Is tamed and do mesticated. Just as we now have mu nicipal lodging bouses for tramps, so we have telegraph record boards for freight cars. Pretty aoon nobody will be able to escape from the authorities. It Is only occasionally under modern methods a freight car tracer has to go out and bring It home by force. THE STOMACH. ; -. Its Power to Resist Its Own Gastric Juloos Is a Puzzle. One of the greatest questions dis turbing . the minds of physiologists both past and present la tbat of the stomach's ; digesting powers. It Is asked why the stomach does not digest itself. It Is well known that gastric Juices nave the power to digest the tis sue of which the stomach is made. One of the things actually manufac tured by the body, secreted In the glands near the stomach and poured Into It, la hydrochloric acid,' a power ful agent that will eat up almost any thing. Why It does not eat the stomach up Is problematical. It is known that a stomach from a dfld H Tl Imn I nr nian mi n h. AtnAB.nA WVOlCU by a living man. It has been found out also that when a man Is killed r4n II- rrJ tl mw nk eM M process of digesting. If the ody be keDt warm. hln whnln Hfnmnfh nltl h. 'digested and possibly, too. adjacent organs, as liver, pancreas, etc. From this It was argued that the "principle of life" kept the process from going on in a living being. . Subsequently, however, this was proved to be untrue. A living frog wan put In an uncon scious condition and bis leg inserted through a small bole in a dog's Btomacb. the dog being alive and well. It was found that the frog's leg was wholly digested in tbe .process, al though living. So the last reason con ceivable was proved Incapable of ex plaining the phenomenon. ' : About the only conclusion left Is that tbe stomach does gradually actually eat itself up. but that It ta toeing con stantly rebuilt. However, as this ex- penmen t is bard to perform and a,s no results have so far been announced In this direction, we are left In a state of : absolute ignorance, and all we can do is to be devoutly thankful to Provi dence that our stomachs do not digest themselves except '.

Plans are under way looking toward the holding of a tournament In Chica go next fall for warships of tbe air. Tentative arrangements hare been out lined for bringing "war fliers" togeth er for exhibitions of maneuvering and bomb dropping. It Is proposed that a miniature, "fort" be constructed for the aviators to "bombard," and a prize, of $5,000 for the aviator dropping the most bombs Into this "fort" has been suggested.
