TIME FREIGHT CARS.
Tractd by Hourly Reports tho Wholo
Length of Ti.ir Run.
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 ,

freight earn will always entail an enor-

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.

' 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

out also that when a man Is killed

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 '. In ; tbe ordinary
course of human events. Lawrence
Hodges In New York Trlbvae. ; ,
Aerial Warships In Tourney.
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. ' : "
LOST, A WATCH On June 6th, my
daughter lost her watch, supposed
ly at or near the depot, and the same
was advertised to be left at the La
Grande Investment Co. A lady called
up .regarding It, but party answering
did not understand the matter and
so informed her. If party who has
the watch will return same I will
prove property and pay reward. J.

Case of an American Woman Married
Abroad and an Acoant. 1
"Nothing disgusts me uiure," said a
woman who goes abroad every sum
mer, "than to meet In Europe Amer
icans wbo seem to be ashamed of their
own language. 1 tiuve often come
across iheni, but a woman 1 met in
Carlsbad last year took the palm.
"She was Introduced to me as tbe
Countess Komoffsky or some name tbat
sounded like tbat. She married a Rus
sian or a Pole about three years be
fore, and so far as I can gather she
bad hardly been any nearer . Europe
than a New York table d'hote before
that time. She looked American, but
her English was all broken into bits.
She did not even say 'the.' but pro-1
nouueed It "ze. She bud great diffi
culty in recollecting phrases, and the
result at times wh n lot of French.
