flSAND HOLDS UP TRAIN

r EXPERIENCE OF DR. DAVID T.(¦

DAY IN THE WEST.

At the meeting- of the Geological Societylast night there were a number of paperson scientific topics read, and Dr. David T.Day of the geological survey contributeda human-interest story, describing the waythe Hack sand got back at him and heldup Che train on which he was traveling overthe Oregon Short line last season for sev¬enteen hours. Dr. Day has been at workon the black sand analysis of the Pacificcoast for many months, and has obtainedsome remarkable results, showing the valueof the sand from the amount of gold, sliver,platinum, magnetic iron and other mineralsthat It carried.On the trip in question, he said, the sand

had a chinee to turn the tables on theanalyst, and did it in good shape. It wasat the time of the nearest approach to ablizzard in the east, and at the same timethere was one of the most violent scindstorms on record in the section of the westthrough which Dr. Day was traveling.The June flood of the Columbia river,

he said, deposits upon the lava floor ofthe present river valley large quantities ofsilt, and after the water has subsided theprevailing .summer wind blowing throughthe gorge of the Columbia blows the driedsands into the enormous sand dunes, whichare the characteristic feature of the scen¬ery along the Oregon Short Line whereit follows the Columbia river from Uma¬tilla to the Dalles. The railroad companyhas found great difficulty in keeping thissand from the track, where even an ac¬cumulation of two inches on the rails isfrequently sufficient to overturn a train,with disastrous results.

Plans to Prevent Drifting.Among the efforts to prevent the sand3

from drifting from one dune to anotherare, particularly, the planting of quick-growing shrubbery. The most successfuldevice has been placing low board fences,two feet high and sixteen feet long, at an

angle of forty-five degrees with the trackso as to use the force of the wind to di¬rect the sand away from the track on bothsides. This has proved fairly efficient forthe prevailing easterly wind. But on March11 of this year a blizzard of unsuual ve¬locity blow down the Columbia in the re¬verse of the usual direction and piled largeamounts of sand on the track, stoppingthe trains for the greater part of a day(Tile position of the sand fences in tills

case was such as to produce a funnel ef¬fect, and blew the sand directly on thetrack instead of away from it, and the ef¬fective work of the sand boards was veryevident. The amount of work done by thiswindstorm was very great. Unfortunately,little data could be obtained from theweather bureau as to the exact velocity"of the wind at this point.

Forty Miles an Hour.At Walla Walla, up the river, It blew

forty miles an hour, and at Portland thirtymiles an hour, but whatever the velocityits effect was to fill the air with sand sothat the sun was entirely obscured frommorning till night, with the exception ofan hour, when it cc uld be dimly seen, al¬though the weather map reported clearweather at this point on that day.The amount of sand blown can be Indi¬cated by the fact that two cattle cars withtheir doors open to the windward side werotilled four feet deep during the night.

LITTLE DAMAGE CAUSED.

Director Walcott's Statement Regard¬ing the Flood at Alcova.

Director W alcott of the geological surveytoday stated that the dispatch last nightfrom Casper, Wyo., alleging that the greatdam at Alcova and the steel bridge acrossthe North Platte river, structures erectedby the reclamation service, had been carriedaway by a flood on the 27th Instant waseironeous."In the first place," lie said, "the govern¬

ment has not constructed a dam in the NorthPlatte river. A contract, however, has beenlet for this work, and the contractor erecteda temporary embankment to divert thesiream from Its channel, to lay the founda¬tions for the Pathfinder dam. This struc¬ture was s-wept away by a flood, but asidefiom delaying the work no serious damageresulted'."The bridge referred to, he declared, was

a wcoden one, erected across the river nearthe dam site, but he says that the engineerin charge, in reporting on the flood, makesno mention of Its having been destroyed.The cost of the bridge was but $3,000.The Pathfinder dam is to be a masonry

concrete structure 210 feet high, and creat¬ing a storage reservoir with a capacity ol'1,000,000 acre feet, or. several times greaterthan the Croton reservoir in New York.

GOV. WRIGHT'S PLANS.

Will Assume the Office of Ambassadorto Japan Next Saturday.

It lias been arranged that Judge Luke tt.Wright of Tennessee shall relinquish theoffice of governor general of the Philippinesand assume the duties of United States am¬

bassador to Japan next Saturday. JudgeWright is now in th's city and will qualifyas ambassador at the State Department,lie will make a shirt visit to his homeand then leave for Tokio to enter on thedischarge of liis new duties. An officialstatement has been made denying the oft-published report that Mr. Wright will boinstructed to open negotlat ons with theJapanese government for the transfer otthe Philippine islands either by purchase orotherwise.

FUNERAL OF MRS. COGSWELL.

Services Today Under Auspices ofOrder of Eastern Star.

Funeral services over the remains of Mrs.A1veraa Cogswell, who died suddenly Tues¬day evening, took place at Schlpjierfe un¬dertaking establishment, 2008 Pennsylvaniaavenue northwest, at 2 o'clock this after¬noon. The services were under the auspicesof the members of the Order of the East¬ern Star, of which the deceased was amember. Rev. Claudius F. Smith, rectorof the Chapel of the Epiphany, preachedthe sermon. The pallbearers were Messrs.E. J. Bernhard, Charles H. Page. GeorgoW. Harbaugh and Eugene Holdrldge. repre¬senting the Order of the Eastern Star, andMessrs. W. S. Mann and James H. Shepardof White Kagle Chapter of the PocahontasSociety.The funeral was attended by the manyfriends of the deceased and members ot

the several orders to which she belongedMrs. Cogswell was a member of the Maea-bees, Pocahontas Society, Daughter* of Rebekah, Daughters of America, the MarylandTemplar Society and Ladles' Auxlaliary orLincoln Post, No. 3, Grand Army of the Re¬public. The Interment was in Rock Creekcemetery.Ifer husband, Lieut. Cogswell, of the

bureau of engraving and printing, has re¬ceived a number of letters of sympathyfrom his friends. These include Mr H EA. Gutshall of the city post office, Mr H HBurroughs, secretary of Acacia Lodge ofMasons; the officers of the Scottish RitaMasons and Representative Binger Her-mann.Lieut. Cogswell says the statement that

he was severely Injured by the explosionof a shell while lie was in the naval serv¬ice Is incorrect. He declares he was neverthe victim of an explosion, and that ho re¬ceived no injury from any source whichmade It necessary for him to have a partof his skull removed and a silver plate in¬serted.

NEW TELEPHONE RECEIVER.

Two Inventions Abolishing1 MicrobesAdopted by Swedish Government.

From the London Mall.Two important telephonic developments

have been invented in Sweden and officiallyadopted by the Swedish government, whichshould bring within early range the uni¬versal abolition of the microbe-ladenmouthpiece of the present-day telephone.The new mechanism is ingenious andcheap; one being available for commercialand private use and the other for militaryfield operations and railway work.The Invention known as the monophone,

which is for commercial use, has a re¬ceiver of a new type and of exceptionalcarrying power. It is about eight incheslong, with a plain handle, funnel-shapedat one end. This funnel, whether heldabove or below or at the back of the head,or pointed upward or downward, collectsthe speaker s voice and transmits hiswords. As the user must not apply thefunnel close to his mouth the hygienic ad¬vantages are obvious.And as the direct current of air does not

come into contact with the membrane ofthe funnel, all disturbing vibrations areavoided and perfect articulation is secured.

It is the invention of Mr. Hoimstrom. thechief engineer of the Swedish telegraphoffice, and is much cheaper than similarinstruments in use in this country.The other invention is a field telephone

and sound telegraph for military purposes,designed by I.ieut. Ljungman of the Swed¬ish Royal Engineers. By its aid a body oftroops, horse or foot, can keep in constanttouch with the general officer at the baseof operations without delaying the march.The apparatus is simple to a degree. It

consists of a small brass cylinder, aboutnine inches long by three in diameter, con¬taining a dry battery and a speaking re¬ceiver, which is strapped to the chest ofthe soldier. Fixed to his back are smalldrums which, although light, can hold 300miles of wire, the base end being, of course,attached to a receiver. Strapped to the earof the cavalryman is another receiver,which is also connected with the cylinder.As the trooper gallops along, the wire

unrolls from the drum, and it may eitherbe allowed to lie on the ground or bepicked up by a soldier following, who placesit on the branches of trees. The cylinderreceiver is so sensitive that although It isplaced some twelve inches below the mouthof the trooper he need not bend his head tospeak into it; or, if more convenient, theinstrument can be used as a field sound-telegraph by employing the Morse system.For the foot soldier a lighter instrument

is provided. The British government hasexperimented with this instrument at Al-dershot, and is negotiating Tor a supply forthe use of our army.An adaptation of this telephone has been

made for use by railway gangers to enablethem to notify the nearest station of anyaccident or defect on the line.These newest developments in the science

of telephonic communication are controlledby the Swedish Electro-Military Company,which is represented in this country byCount Lewenhaupt.The British post office authorities, we are

officially informed, are conducting a seriesof experiments to overcome the inconven¬ience caused by careless subscribers who,after using the telephone, leave the re¬

ceiver oft the rest.,

When, some few years ago, instrumentsof a cruder type were used, they had a

"howler" device which continued to

a noise that compelled attention. The

present experiments are with the object of

discovering whether a similar alarm can be

employed with the more delicate instru-ments now tn use. It is not suggested that

any "howler" will be devised to express the

indignation of a subscriber who finds him¬self erroneously and frequently rung up in

the search for a different sutjacrlber.

Fitting Out for the Season.From the Outing Magazine.In fitting out a small craft for the season s

work much will depend upon the case with

which she was laid up for the winter. The

boat at the end of the season, should have

been hauled out and so protected as to keeprain or snow from penetrating her interior,

while at the same time given adequate ven¬

tilation to keep her sweet and clean and to

guard against the danger of dry rot.a most

insidious disease which attacks the stoutesttimbers and causes them to crumble like

punk. Dry rot is caused by want of ven¬

tilation. Many yachts by this fault have

to be rebuilt or extensively repaired. Like

mildew in sails, dry rot can be preventedonly by unceasing vigilance combined withperfect ventilation. There is no preparationltt existence that will render wood Imper¬vious to Injury from dry rot. When once

it attacks timber the affected part must be

out out and renewed. If an incht of the

decayed wood is left it will spread like gan¬

grene to the new timber. Thus, when buy¬ing a second-hand boat, It Is well to hav e

her examined by an expert to see whethershe is affected by dry rot. If so. she Is a

boat that prudence recommends a purchaserto beware of and shun. Should your craftunfortunately hfeve contracted this disease,I recommend heroic measures. Replace trieaffected parts with sound wood and in fu¬ture take care that proper ventilation shall

prevent a recurrence of the ailment.

ART OF COOKING.

Progress of Human Race Closely Al¬lied to It.

From the Medicil Record.It may well be said that the development

of the art of cooking la closely connectedwith the onward progress of the humanrace. As the prehistoric cave dwellersknew nothing: of the uses to which Aremight be put. their gastronomic abilitieswere probably on a par with those of thebeasts of prey with which they competedfor their daily supply of food. The earli¬est nations of whom we possess historicrecords recognized the value of foods prop¬erly prepared, and we find that the scienceof cooking gradually attained the heightof its development during the reign of thegreat Roman emperors of the Augustlnianperiod. We are apt to look upon the ban¬quets of the old Romans as orgies, and Insome degree they undoubtedly were, andyet we have abundant evidence that theRomans were cognizant of the fact thatthe proper preparation and seasoning ofthe food contributed in large measure toan improved appetite and a better diges¬tion. We must, therefore, credit them witha knowledge of these physiological necessi¬ties, even while condemning them for theirluxurious repasts. They also realized thata pleasant frame of mind had a great andimportant Influence on the digestive pro¬cesses, and therefore provided amusementof various kinds during the meal. The in¬roads of the northern barbarians causedthe highly developed arts and sciences ofthe Romans.and culinary perfection mustbe included among them.to be plungedinto the lon& period of darkness whichmarked the middle ages.Whatever knowledge we possess of their

civilization wa owe to the many monasticorders of Europe, whose members preserv¬ed and cultivated, among other things, thetraditions of the culinary art until therenaissance, In the reign of Louis XIV ofFrance and his successors. The influenceof Prance on the menus of the world hascontinued uninteruptedly down to the pres¬ent day. The principles of cooking, speak¬ing of the latter in a general sense, weredeveloped by the early Romans in a purelyempirical fashion. Now they have beenmade the subject of scientific investigationand found to rest ou a firm and sound ba¬sis. The Roman physiologist Pavlov hasclearly demonstrated, in his researches on

digestion, that the ingestion of substanceswith a purely nutrient value does not suf¬ficiently satisfy the demands of the body.taste and appetite must also be taken intoconsideration. Those are satisfied only bythe addition to the food of slices and salt,and it is largely due to the Influence ofthese condiments that the proper amountof gastric juice is liberated by the mucousmembrance of the stomach. The actionupon the stomach of reflex stimuli is shownby the favorable effect on the flow of thegastric secretions made by sight and odorof a well-prepared dish. In this mannerEpplen (Reichs Medicinal Anzeiger, No. IS,196) leads up to the broad claim that theproper preparation of all food, as demand¬ed by the essential requirements of the cull-nary art. Is not a luxury, but a physiologi¬cal necessity, and to develop and dissemi¬nate this knowledge is an act beneficial tothe public welfare. There is happily an In¬creasing interest talcen by physicians Indietetics and cooking, for these two sub¬jects go hand in hand, and this Interest itshould be the aim of the medical man totransmit to his patients or to those whohave care of them.
