lock Island Road Adopt« a Smoke-Con«
• timer for Tlieir Engines.
The Age I Whf e man of reoria Ha. a
Vn-qne To-»'t>.tone
The Rock Island Railroad ha« estab
lished a precedent in the West by
•quipping their engines with imoke-oon-
turners, which entirely do away with
the heavy volume of black smoke
which is so disagreeable to passengers.
This experiment has been thoroughly
tested during the past few months, on
tbeii Colorado Flyer, and has proved
to be such a success that the Rock
Island has adopted it over its entire
system, and, as soon as possible, all of
their engines will be equipped witli
this new device and immediately be
put back into seivice.
This smokeless firing, as it is porper-
ly called, will be valuable to both pa
tron and the road. To the patron it
does away with the black, sooty smoke
and cinders, thus adding much to the
pleasure of traveling; and. to the road,
it is a saving in fuel as well as making
the appearance and equiraent of the
train up to date. Tiie good results
from this new equipment are unlimit
ed and everything is favorable and for
the best interests of all. To make this
smokeless tiring a success, two things
are necessary; the equipment of the
engine with the proper apparatus neces
sary to consume the hydrocarbons,
thrown off from the coal, and the
thorough training of engineer and fire
man in the manner of firing and the
beet methods of proceeding at all
times in order to obtain the desired re
sults.
The manner of equipment is briefly
as follows: In the fire box of the en
gine is built a hollow b-ick arch. Be
low this and about a foot above the
grates are bored four holes in the sides
of the fire box. In each of these holes
is inserted a Sharp’s patent deflecting
air tube, connecting with the hollow
arch. Through these tubes the out
side air is drawn in and, after being
heated, is allowed to mix with the un
consumed gasses or hydrocarbons. By
this mixing the gasses are transferred
into a perfect state of combustion and
In this state they aie consumed, and
thoroughly disposed of, thus prevent
ing them fiom being forced out into
the air as is the case today on nearly
every railroad in the United States.
Assistant-General Manager W. 1.
Allen, and Superintendent of Motive
Power G. T. Wilson, of the Rock
Island, express themselves as more
than pleased with the results of this
new move on the part of the road.
Thomas W. Davis, of Peoria, Ill., has
reared a monument to commemorate
bis career as a cyclist, and incidentally
to mark the resting-place of his wife.
The shaft, which Is five feet high and
two feet square, bears a design of a
bicycle on the top. The design Is ten
Inches long and five Inches high, and
Is complete In every particular. It dis
plays prominently all the parts of the
bicycle, even to the name plate. On
one side the monument bears the facts
of his wife’s death and the other Is
blank. His Idea Is to proclaim to gen
erations to come the fact of bls being
a long-distance rider.
He said that he fancied that he could

He felt keenly the responsibility of
fatherhood, but also felt Iris hand
stayed from timorousness because of
the injustice of having caused their
being. The death of his wife left him
in a condition of helplessness until his
lister assumed the place of mother to
three growing children. Of the young
est, Philip, he once said, “The dear
child is as pertinacious as a fly in his
inquiries. I had no idea that a child
could ask so many questions, and 1
find it easier to settle municipal affairs
than to give an answer to such queries
as, ‘Papa, must 1 wear my rubbers?’
or. ‘Papa, how many apples may 1 eat
a day?’ ”
In speaking again of Philip at the
sge of 9 or 10, he says in a letter, “On
Sunday morning I get the small boy
dressed and set him on the straight and
narrow path—nay, push him before me
down its dreary way to chuich serv

Sick headaches! Always trace them to a lazy liver or a sick stomach. Poisonous matter, Instead of being
thrown out, is reabsorbed into the blood. When this poison reaches the delicate brain tissue it causes congestion
and that dull, awful, throbbing, sickening pain. CASCARETS remove the cause by stimulating the liver, making
the poison move on and out, and purifying the blood. The effect is almost instantaneous. Ladies, whose sensitive
