PACIFIC On tho Pacific System of tho (Southern Pacific company, there nro over libOO bridges, aggregating more limn 685,000 feet, or about 131 miles. During tho past 30 jenrs tho com pany has built nn average ot one stool bridge per menth: and In the entire history ot the Southern Pacific not one passenger has lost his life In a bridge accident, this result be ing obtained by eternal Vigilance and through constant Inspection and pro per construction of.thc structures. Al truss bridges etecl is tho standard for these aro equipped with signals and derails, Interlocked with tho operating machinery. The imo of wood or other combustible material Is eliminated .to the fullest extent, and where wood Is unavoid able, the timber is chemically treated. The standard main line trestle Is pro vided with a gravel deck. Special devices, like tho rope ticklers nus lwudcd from the track, foot walks and hand rails aro put on bridges and trestles wherever trainmen have to cross them in the course, ot their duties, so that the danger may bo ob viated. Inspection is both careful and regu lar. Daily, the track walkers exam ine the structures. At regular per iods, in addition, they arc successive ly gono over by tho bridge and build ing supervision and tho engineer of earh division, by tho assistant gener al and general bridge Inspectors of tho system and onco'a year again by tho assistant general managers In their annual inspection. They arc constantly in the care of employes trained through long experience. On tho Southern Pacific many special devices have been worked out, llko tho new guard rail, which aro dally contributing to expediting the move ment of trains and conserving lives and property ot the company's patrons and employes, MONDAY-TUKSDAY J'JIOGIIAM AT STAK THKATEK Tho Star Theater will offer ono o tho best programs ot the season to day and. tomorrow with two of our most famous reel artists to head tho list.

WASHINGTON, 1). l, N'ov. '27. Many lovers of flowers who have not the time to bother with nu imlooi whitlow box enjoy keeping number of potted plants hi the living room 'tluring the winter. Some, in fact. littvo turned a bnv window into small conservatory or winter garden merely liv an attractive arrttimcinent of nlnnls in separate pots. hen a window box is filled the plants mu-l lio of the same general character to be successful, but if one's winter gar den is made up of plants in separate pots u greater variety may be kept, as each plant may receive different treatment in the matter of light, win erimr. soil, etc., and palms, rubber plants and cneti, which call for spe cial handling, maybe added. Begun ias, ivy, smilax and aspidistra, nil good plants for indoor culture, de mand more or less tho. snino treat tuonl, as was explained in n previous article sent out by the United States department of agriculture, describing the indoor window box. Those who do nol have gardens would do better to get potting soil ot the nearest florist for their potted plants. .Good pottimr soil may ho prepared at home, but it usually takes considerable cam and lore thought. Thosd willing, tp take the! trouble may prepare il by lisiug oito part compost, our parlgnt loam and one part snrid.

Well de eomposhl leaf mold' would answer as n -partial KiiUs'tUutp for tho compost. One-twentieth' part bone meal is a good addition to the hVixturc. If the loam is very heavy, containing much clny, its proportion should be some what diminished. If tho loom is light and sandV, reduce tlio ntnbunt of snnd, or in some localities omit it al together. Potted plant should' he examined occasionally to see whether or not the plant requires repotting. This is done by holding the hands over the top of the K)t, inverting plant and all. tap ping the edge of the pot mi as to loosen it, then lifting the pot off. This cannot be done unles the soil is moderately moist. If the ball of earth is completely covered with roots, the plant should be put in slightly larger pot with new potting soil ''firmed" about the old ball of enrth by "finning" with the fingera. Then wet thoroughly. A housewife who desires a few pot ted plants, but docs not possess tho regulation flower imiIk may prepare tin cans thai will be quito salNfac- torj.

Alfalfa as Forest Supervisor Erickson has recently received the results of a study made by the agricultural cx- pcruncnt station, Lincoln, eb., in regard to the value of alfalfa as a horso feed. Tho results of this study huvo been summarized as follews: Alfalfa is a bplcndid horso feed, but must be fed with judgment and care. Because of its jKilatnbility mnturc horses arc likely to eat too much nl falfa if permitted to have free ac cess to it. The average fnnn horse nt hard work is allowed to cat much more al falfa and other roughago thnn ho really needs to maintain Iiis weight. OntT pound of alfalfa or other hay and about ono and one-quarter pounds of the horse's weight make a good ration for tho working horse. Horses liko ulfalfa stems.

N'eever feed wet alfalfa hay to horses. A sudden chanjyi of feed deranges the horse's digestive system. Horses accustomed to alfalfa as a regular pait of their ration are seldom' trou bled from it use. If ulfalfa hay is stored in the bum for horses, it i well to sprinkle it generously, while mowing it away, with a inhtmc of salt and uir-slabd lime, equal pails.

Geraniums are attractive in the ordinary window box bcenuse of their foliage alone. They should not be placed in a win dow bor with the expectation that they will bear flowers. Ferns. Ferns as they come from the florists prepared for indoor cul ture should bo placed in a strong light, though they grow well without Hunlight. They should bo watered sparingly, but should be kept inott at all tunes. Improper watering, especi ally keeping the plant soaked or per mitting it to get drv, is the foundation of most fern difficulties. II is e-pe cially difficult not to ocrwater when tho fern is in a jardiniere, where drainage is necessarily poor. In spring and summer they will require three times tfio water necessary in fall and winlcr. It is well occasionally to put them in tho bath tub and give them a bath with weak soapsuds made from a good grade of soap. The soap must bo thoroughly rinsed ofr immediately. Great care must bo exercised not to injure the fronds, as they are ory tender. Mcnlv bug is one ot the worst enemies, in house culture. This is a white, woolly insect that works close to the bottom of the frond. If found the plant should be examined every day and all insect; removed by a splint or tooth pick. If the pest is very bad. cut off all the top of the fern within an inch of the ground. treat thoroughly each day till till in sects lire exterminated, when n new top chi be grown. Hed spider is a minute sucking in sect that thrives in a dry atmosphere. It can be kept in cheek by spraying the top with clear water. In living rooms this is frcfuenllv impractic able. The next bt thing i rejM'at cd baths. The aphis or green fly is also eradicated by. washing. Ferns should be fed once in two to four weeks in the place of ordinary watering with dilute nitrate of soda (a heaping teaspoonful to u quart of water), ammonia water (a teaspoon ful of nmmonin to a quart) or inaii urc lezichings. Prepared plant food or n little sprinkling of ground bone . t Horse Feed little exercise, not infrequently suf fer attacks of this nature. An alfalfa pasture is a splendid place to develop draft colts with a maximum of bone and muscle. Some complaint comes from the humid regions to the effect that marcs on alfalfa pasture during the breeding season are hard to get in foal. This trouble becms to he more or less local and can be avoided by temporarily keeping the mnres in other pastures. An alfalfa patch forms a splendid tiight (Kisttire for work horses, pro viding they are used to it and turned out regularly.

I have been u working man all "' lif "",l bout " - l'!lVe ot, .l, show for it is a wife and four clul- dreii. I, too, feel something in my bones.

I want to ask "A Worker": What his income f i om iwitK aro and how many brick bloeks lie owns, and how many moit giig's he holds on oilier men's prop el ty. Would like o have him tell me what kind of booe he drinks. If he will give his name and address I would like to call on him and have a talk with him, but would rather he would describe his sytiiptonw, so tho public will know when they are at tacked with piosperity bone symp toms.

The problems presented nro not new. They have been studied by na val constructors of 'every power since the liusHinu-Jnpaucsc war, when many fine ships fell victim to mines and tmcdoc. Proposals of many sorts have been discussed. Some have been adopted, but the the ory of warship building still clings to concentration of offensive power in tonus of larger guns, bigger and sw liter ships aud wider cruising ra dius, even at the expense- of defens ive armor. The heavy losses sustained by the llrilish navy by suhmaritie attacks has brought up for renewed discus sion the subject of armoring the bot toms of wnreraft. Recent issues of Knglish service journals have noled a plan to cover the entire bottom "f n battleship with four inches of armor plating. It was urged that the ex periment be tried with an old ship which should be subjected to actual test with the explosion ngaiiist her hull of the most powerful modern torjH'doe. The slup nNo would be driven into contact mine of various types to determine their effect, it was said. American naval expel t- ln-iicic there is little doubt of the result. They say four inches of .unior would resist any known torpedo or mine successfully. To cfpiip a hip in that wav, however, the eiiormou weight of the armor would rcquiic a reduo tion in weight elsewhere, and the oul way it eiitild be uci'onipli!ieir wouli1 be to reduce I lie sir and number o! guns, the.thiokiics ol surface armor, the weight of engines and coal capac ity and becaue nf this lat. the "rv of the ship theui-clve.
