When an Ecuador Indian wants a
blanket he bunts up a demajagua
tree and cuts from It a five or six foot
section of tho peculiarly soft, thick
bark. This Is dampened and beaten
until the flexibility of the sheet Is
much Increased. Tho rough, gray ex

FARM HAS TRAGIC HISTORY.
A tragic history accompanies
Welsh farm near Swansea. The farm
la known as "Taiywanda." A man
named David Davlea, a farmer, thirty
years old, committed suicide there, a
few days ago, by cutting bis throat.
When found In a field, the body was
almost beyond recognition, having
been attacked by rats. No fewer than
five Inquests have been held by the
coroner at the farm on bodies of
members uf the family during the
past few years, and all met singular
deaths. The father was killed by
being run over by a cart which he
was driving; the mother died sudden
ly; an elder brother was thrown oft
his horse and killed, and another
brother hanged himself. A previous
occupant of the farm, prior to the
tenancy of the Davleses, also hanged
himself.
SMOKE COSTS MILLIONS.
More than $500,000,000 a year Is
done in damage to merchandise, de

Increased cost of housekeeping and
losses to manufacturers due to Imper
fect combustion of coal. In other
words, In abating the smoke nuisance
In the large cities this amount of
money will be saved, as well as In
creasing the comfort and convenience
of the residents.. An important step
In this direction has been taken in
Pittsburg, where the University of
Pittsburg has undertaken to call the
matter to the attention of those inter
ested In a series of papers published

UNIT OF MAGNETISM.
The electron, or unit of electricity,
is now supposed to form a material
part of the atoms of the various ele
ments, and Prof. Pierre Weiss has at
tempted to prove that a similar par
ticle, which he calls the "magneton."
Is the unit of magnetism. In testing
his theory he has made numerous ex
periments on magnetization at very
low temperatures. He has found con
firmation of his view, and believes he
as shown the presence of magneton
in the atoms of Iron, nickel, cobalt,
copper, manganese and the metals of
the rare earths.
HE part played by the rails In
feeding a hungry world is per
haps shown nowhere more pic
turesquely than in the Union
stockyards at Chicago. Impos
sible aa It may seem, there are at
these yards 250 miles of tracks within
an area of one square mile. It con
nects through a b-elt line system
with more than 25 trunk lines.
The cattle country tributary to the
Chicago Union stockyards embraces
about 1,000,000 square miles, says the
Railroad Man's Magazine. The range
cattle fatten In the Dakota-Iowa-Kan
sas-Nebraska-Mlnnesota corn belt In
addition to cattle are boga, sheep,
mules and horses.
The system of handling this enor
mous traffic is In two distinct parts
the traffic over the granger lines prop
er and the handling of trains after
they leave the freight terminals and
enter the belt line tracks. Any one of
the big trunk lines may be taken as
an example of the rest. The
live stock traffic of one of
these averages a 400 mile
haul, the trains having right of way
over everything except passenger
service. The average stock train is
of 35 loaded cars, and Its speed, all
stops included, is 35 miles an hour.
If the haul is from Omaha, the train
will be handled over three, divisions,
meaning three crews, each consisting
of an engineer, fireman, conductor and
two brakemen, 15 men in all, and
these only to the terminal point
December, January, February and
March are the banner months, and
Monday Is the day of largest receipts
at the Chicago yards. Wednesday
comes next. The average number of
stock cars entering Chicago over one
of the great railroads on Sunday night
and Monday morning Is 700. Occa
sionally the number of cars arriving
during the Sunday-Monday 24 hours Is
more than a thousand.
Thousands of People Employed.
The great yards themselves are di
vided into two great sections the
western portion with Its packing
houses and subsidiary industries, and
the eastern- part with its pens and
chutes. Here every weekday of the
year more than 60,000 persons labor
or transact business.
Between eight o'clock each Sunday
evening and nine o'clock Monday
morning during the four busy months
Inclusive from 22,000 to 23,000 cars of
stock, comprising approximately a
hundred trains, are unloaded In the
yards. The process of unloading con
sumes around 12 hours. Tha average
must be one car unloaded every 20
seconds.
To the casual observer the trains ap
pear to be massed In a hopeless Jam
and one might walk block after block
on the tops of cars. But despite this
seeming Impenetrable Jungle of roll
ing Btock, the trains are moved with
a precision that would shame most
clocks or watches. .
This stock Is shipped principally to
commission brokers and seldom to
packing houses or other eventual buy
ers. Each train may contain every
class of stock that goes into the yards
horses, mules, sheep, hogs and cat
tle. Walk down Exchange avenue In the
yards on Sunday afternoon or evening
and watch the groups of Idle employes
whittling sticks and swapping yarns,
with nothing to do but wait Now and
then a passenger goes by, but for the
most part it is expectant waiting. And
then, Just before dawn the stock trains
come hurtling out of the darkness,
bringing their thousands of live animals.
By daybreak the tracks are Jammed
for miles with the moving trains
while the uproar Is increased by stock
men shouting, whining, swearing,
threatening because they fear they
will not have their stock un
loaded when the market opens. It Is
bedlam. As soon as a train arrives
at the pens. Its movements having
been governed by the train director
in the tower, the locomotive Is at
tached to the opposite end. The
length of time consumed in unloading
each car is one and one-half minutes,
but many other cars are being emn-
tied In that same Interval.
There are ten chute platforms lead
ing to all parts of the yard, and each
holds from 18 to 62 cars, making a, to
tal of 812 cars that can be unloaded at
one time. The average Is 32 cars to
the chute.
This roaring, protesting, squealing
norde of live stock la urged ud the
chutes, with the sheep waiting reluct
antly for a leader.
Railroad employes and yard opera
tives detest sheep. Sheep won't crosa
a puddle of water until a bellwether
has been yanked over it and then
they won't stop till their leader baa
bumped into a fence and can go no
farther.
The animals In general are excited,
the nerves of the workmen are tense
and the controlling element, time,
seems to spin by with tragic fleet
ness. As each train Is unloaded it be
comes a dead thing, so far as the
yards are concerned. It is hurried
out of the way, making Its exit over
one of the three outgoing tracks and
Speeding back again to the meadows
and the prairie reaches.
A thrilling scene Is being enacted
along the endless rows of pens. Punch
ers on horseback (regular western
cayuses, at that!) are clattering over
the brick pavement or splashing
through the mire. Buyers represent
ing all the packing houses, eastern
concerns and even individuals are rac
ing to and fro. discussing fine points
in the stock, bidding for their favor
ite herds.
Start for the East
From the northeast and southeast
corners of the yards other trains are
moving. These are bound for the east
with stock on hoof traveling toward
New York, New England, and other
points that attend to their own kill
ing.
While 2,600 or 3,000 cars are moving
into the yards1 with their lading of
farm animals, about 800 cars are trav
eling eastward with live stock that
has been purchased that day for those
distant market places.
And during this same period 60
crews of the stock yards railroad are
handling their dead freight, shunt
ing 8,000 cars Into position, bringing
in and taking out the thousand and
one things that go to make up Indus
try In the stockyards.
For those few hours the train di
rector Is the busiest man In that
whirlpool of Industry. He must ac
count for every stop, every start of
each train received and returned. He
must determine by the bills Just
where the consignees can be favored
the most, and he must place his trains
so that every chute is operating to its
fullest capacity every moment of
these teeming hours.
To convey some adequate notion of
what this amounts to during the week
Jammed into a few busy hours of
each day let us look at the averages
for the weekdays of the four most
Industrious months.
Monday and Wednesday being the
two most prolific shlplpng days,
bring about 4,800 loaded cars into the
yards. On Tuesday and Thursday
there are added 3,200 more cars, and
on Friday and Saturday 1,600 addi
tional cars go toward making the
grand total of 9,600 cars for the
week, constituting 270 trains. Each
train moves over approximately four
divisions.
Besides this, about 1,000 cars of
live stock are shipped cast each ''
week, averaging 30 trains, travers
ing more than 600 miles end .enter-
ng a territory where divisions are
more frequent
