Threads and Pins That Enable the Officials to So Place Trains as to Avoid the Danger of Collision and All Unnecessary Loss of Time. Travelers who consult the ever han- dy time tables to the arrival or de- parture of the particular train that is to carry them probably never give a thought to the manner in which a wod- ern time table is made up. To the un initiated it is a Chinese puzzie, and even those well versed in its mysteries often become confused. How are time tables made? What is the procedure in determining the speed of a train and the exact time and place it shall meet another train? The answer to these questions is to be found in the miliar with the grade and track condi- tions and when stringing the thread must allow more time for unfavorable grade, railroad crossing and other un- usual stops, so that the running time of the train will be uniform. When- ever it is desirable to make a meal stop a pin is put in at the proper sia- tion and the string run horizontally to the line until the required number of minute lines have been passed. when it is again taken down the board at the proper degree of speed. By mak ing the string more vertical the speed is Increased. as there are fewer mi- nute lines crossed. By swinging thread to the right the speed is decreased. and by the use of pins this can be ar ranged between each station to sul: conditions.

The humorists always associate the African with the watermelon, assum- ing that the taste of the colored man for his favorite dainty arises from his life in the southern states, where the melon vine grows like a weed. As a fact. however. the African taste for the watermelon is hereditary. The vine is n native of Africa, where it is found wild in the great central plains of the continent, and has also been cultivated for many ages. ln Egypt the melons grown along the Nile rival those of southeastern Mis- souri. The melons mentioned by the Israel- ftes as being among the good things they had in Egypt were undoubtedly watermelons, for in the wall paintings about the time of the exodus the melon vine is represented, and in one case a long procession of slaves is depicted, each bearing on his shoulder a huge dark green watermelon. Botanists say that varieties of the melon are found in southern Asia, and some even claim that the plant grows wild in central and South Africa, but Africa is no doubt the original home An Ode to His Washerwoman Even in the face of financia, embar rassment the Yale student refuses to be downcast, for when the gorist threatens suit if his bil! is not paid or when in walking through the city streets the student sees his newest shirt adorning the grinning face of his washerwoman's young wunhopeful it is not Lis nature to spill a bottle of ink on a dissertation on the subcon- scious relationship of poverty to vice, More likely he will go whistling back to the campus and put to the tune some such verses as appeared in the Yale Record of years ago under the title “Owed to My Washerwoman:"” 1 promise thee that some day [ will come In answer to thy oft repeated dun, And In thy eager hands I then will lay The dollars ten I've owed for many a day, I will not censure thee for rips and tears, For e’en the socks that now thy husband wears.

When- ever a train is scheduled out of a ter minal at a certain hour a pin is driven at the Intersection of the station line and hour line—this being the beginning —and. such other times at various sta- tions as may be desired are determined by drawing the thread over the board to meet the intersection of the various stations and hour lines at the proper times. Where necessary tacks are driv- en to keep the thread on the proper schedule, Westbound trains run down and di- agonally to the right. Eastbound trains start at the bottom, run upward and diagonally to the right. Wher- ever these threads cross, a meeting point is indicated, and if this crossing of the threads is between station lines it is then necessary to adjust the time on each train, so that the meeting point will be at the most convenient station. This is done by holding the lines cross- ed at station with a pin. Of course on double tracks these meeting points are not necessary. After the chart has been strung a former issue of the time card with pen and ink is brought into use, and the superintendent begins at original ter- minal, looks at the station line, and whenever any string representing a train crosses this station line he notes the time as shown on the proof of the time card. One train at a time is read from start to finish, and after they have all been checked they are re- checked to see that all meeting points are properly made and noted on proof, after which the time table is ready for the printer.
