The Central's New Line. Work upon the new line now being built by the New York Central between Clearfield borough and Karthaus, near the boundary of Clearfield and Ceuter counties, to get rid of heavy grades on the Beech Creek railroad is progressing rapidly, and-the road will be finished by spring. The new line, which is 25 miles in length, will connect at Kar'tbaus with the Stuquehanna and Clearfield road, which extends to Keating, By a track- age arrangement with the Philadelphia and Erie, Beech Creek trains will use that line to Youngdale.

The new line runs through a very wild and practically undeveloped country. The builders have encountered hundreds of rattlesnakes, and there have been numerous fierce encounters between the workmen and these reptiles. So nnmsrous and vicious are the snakes that it has been found necessary by the contractors to form gangs of men whose duty is to unearth and destroy them. When the line is completed it will practically make the Beech Creek a double track road. EX-STUDENTS' REUNION.

While out picking berries near Rising, in Lawrence township, Ethel Hearld, a young girl of that place, discovered a huge rattler curled up near a stump. She called to her assistance R. L. Burdette, who was cutting grain nearby, and he killed the snake. While examining the dead snake there issued from the same stomp two more huge yellow rattlers, larger than the first one.

Miss Hearld ran for a stump near by and mounted it. She was horrified, however, to discover that she was being chased by one of the snakes. With great presence of mind she picked up a stone and when the snake got near, with a well directed blow she killed him. Mr. Burdette disposed of the other one.

This in the fourth or fifth snake this yonng girl has killed this year, and it is said to be about the fifteenth killed in that Herald. Two Weddings In Elkland.

TII 'flit Editor of. the Agitator. SAN FRANCISCO, July will en- to giVe the readers of the AoiTA- TOB an account of my trip across the continent and a brief description of the most important places visited. 1 started with a party of friends from Chicago on the Michigan Special. At Fulton, 185 miles.from Chicago, we crossed the Mississippi river on a steel bridge 4,100 feet long, but the night was so dark we could not see much of it.

By day light we were in the midst of the great corn fields of The growing crop was looking At Cedar Rapids, a growing city about our train 'stopped for lunch. This city is situated on the Red Cedar river; in the midst of a rich and fertile country: Beyond Rapids W6 passed through apparently a fertile but more thinl populated agricultural region. Entering the' valley of the Des river we passed through rigged and- picturerque which was quite contrawt from the rolling prairie we bad left behind. Leaving the Des Moines valley the train again passed through a fine prairie CDUhtry. Soon after leaving Missouri valley junction we came in sight of the high bluffs on the east-side of the Missouri riveJ.

We croised from Council Bluffs to Omaha op the famous Union Pacific bridge that cost a million dollars. We found Omaha built on an elevation with broad streets business blocks, yet the population -was only 102,000 last year, a falling off of 38,000 since 1890: We were told that eleven trains of Ep worth'Leaguers had preceded ua, yet the great army had commenced to move. The Union Pacific: engines took our trains from Omaha. We soon entered the Platte river valley where the corn as well as other crops had a better growth than we had seen. This famous valley is certainly a very rich -and fertile country, By daylight the next morning we were at in Northeastern Colorado.

This section is not so fertile as the eastern and central parts of Nebraska. It is necessary to irrigate the land to produce crop. As We neared we had our first look at the Rocky MonnUiiis, Longs Peak, 14,271 feet above the sea, was the highest point visible. Denver is indeed the "Queen City of the Plains," being situated on a series of plateaus at an elevation of 5,200 facing' the mountains. The view, is grand and impressive, tike's Peak; 75 miles away, can be.seen very distinctly.

It is the capital of Colorado with a population of 140,000 and blaims to be the largest city between the Missouri river and San Francisco. Owing to the high altitude and dry air, this city is noted as a health resort, especially for people with pulmonary complaints. Our next stop was Colorado Springs, an attractive city and another celebrated health resort. Here we took the electric cars to Manitou. Springs, five miles away and famous the world over for its mineral waters.

Here we began the ascent to Pike's Pekk on the cog- road which runs up to the Summit above the clouds to an elevation of over feet. This famous road is built much the same as any railroad except that there is a row of cogs midway between the rails, and a strong wheel under the train fits ihto these 'cogs and makes it impossible for the train to get away, even if the engine'should fail to work. The Pike's Peak Daily jVnrs gets out a special edition on the arrival of each train with a list of all the passengers. The scenery as we ascend the mountain is grand. From the summit we could see Cripple Creek to the west and to the south a vast expanse of country.

We had the novel experience of snowballing in July there is snow on the summit all the year. At this ex treme altitude of course the air is very rare. We found it almost impossible to shout or even run. One young lady; with a party from New York, fainted and it was with great difficulty that her friends kept her alive until she reached a lower level. One of the most interesting places in this vicinity is the Garden of the Gods.

The portals of this famous gateway rise from the plains to a height of 330 feet and glow with the brightest of red. Within the garden the rocks assume strange forms and the imagination of the spectator is kept busy discovering resemblances to beaste, birds, men, etc. We visited Cheyenne Canon and walked through this gorge to the falls. The mountains rise abruptly on either to a great height. There are some striking formations of rock, perhaps the most prominent being the Vacant Chair" and "Pillar of Hercules." We climbed to the top of the canon down the sides of which plunges the foaming mountain torrent in seven leaps from a height of 234 Farther up on the side of the Cheyenne mountain is the grave of Helen Hpnt Jackson, the authoress.

We did not leave Colorado Springs until the following morning, that we might pass through the Royal Gorge by daylight. The grand canon of the Arkansas, the narrowest portion of which is known as Royal Gorge, is said to be the greatest chasm ever penetrated by a railroad. For eight miles there is hardly rootH for the river. The mountains form vertical rising In some places to a height of 2.600 feet above the train. The view from the rear of the train is magnificent and is one never to be forgotten.

Coming out of the gorge we followed the narrow valley of the upper Arkansas to Salida. Having tak en the short line we did not Leadville. At Tennessee Pass the continental divide is crossed at a height of 10.413 feet, nearly two miles above the level of the sea. Near the summit a tunnel from which as we emerged we had a view of the Pacific Slope On the left we pass the Mount of the Holy Cross and enter Eagle river canon. Here we we mining under difTteultiea.

As one writer lias wild, it is "the wonder of the otte who and the" dwpair of the one who wishes to' toll others wi.at he saw." Glenwood Springs was onfnext Here vre visited the hot sulphur springs, where the Ute Indians used to bring their sick. We foTJtid the Hotel an immense atteir, surro'unSed by fountains, flowers, and many attractions. Resumed our joorney the same evening; we awoke the next morning in Dtah. At Salt Lake City we found several trains side-tracked and it was evident that the Epworth Leaguers had taken the City of the Saints" by stornr. It was Sunday and a grand rally was held the: tabernacle, an iihmense building 250 feet long and said to hold 9,000 There were but a few vacant seats, started (this organ ia one.

of the largest in the world) and the vast audience, sang "America." The effect was wonderful. The meeting was very Impressive. Quite, near the -tabernacle is the Mormon Temple, but its interior is sacred, none but those of the faith are ever admitted through its dors. Opposite is. the "'tithing yard," where, all the faithful Saints are supposed to pay the Church one 1 tenth of their earn- Ne'ar by.are the former-homes, of and his several: Salt Lake City, is- well, laid out; Us streets are (132 lined shade trees and on each side then ia an ditch full of running water.

Of- course we visited the Great Salt Lake, about 15 'miles from the city." It is much larger than I had supposed, being 90 miles loHg and 40 miles Wide its waters are transparent and said to be 20 per cent, salt; at any rate it is aluiost impossible to sink and one can float oh the water mthont any Thelake has lowered about 18 inches duTinpr the past year, owing to so many tributaries; being cut-off for irrigating purposes. Resuming onf ride we soon reached the great American Desert where it is said the only living things found are liZHrds and jack rabbits and Only vegetation scrubby sage brush. Our train stopped at several small towns in crossing Nevada; 1 remember Winne- muccft-as a prosperous town haying a large mining Here, while we were waiting for lunch, the a joke on tha "tourists." Near the station they had arranged a cage COVOTV ed with canvas and lettered on the side, Nevada Red Bat Inside--weight 5 pounds." Of course, everybody was anxious tb see for themselves, and lifting up the canvas they saw an ordinary red brickbat hung up.by a string. At Wadsworth a great many Indians of various sizes and colors, I bought a watermelon for "two bits" We were soon in Calif ornia and to climb the Sierra Nevada mountains. The summit is the highest point on the Southern Pacific railroad, aoove the sea.

Here we enter the great snow-sheds extending for forty miles the mountains. It already dark when we passed the summit and at daylight the following morning we were the. beautiful Sacramento valley. We soon reached Oakland on the east side of San Francisco'bay, our train running out two miles on a pier, when we took a ferry boat for the Golden Gate city, only four miles away. It was very cold on the bay early in the inornmg--quite a change from the weather we had crossing Nevada.

We succeeded in finding a. good hotel and after dinner gtarttd out to see the qity. As we arrived a day before the convention opened, I will tell you about the city and the convention in my letter. S. ROBB.

The head of the boiler was blown completely off, the lumber which it contained was hurled in every direction, and the building in which the two creosote boilers were housed was partially wrecked. Letter to Charles L. Babcpck, IVellsboro, Fn. Dear Sir If yon want your paint to last aa long as that of other in your town is going to last, you should use lead ana zinc.

You can mix your own, or buy Devoe, as vou like. The results will not be the same, however. Dt-voe lead and zinc is ground in oil and thoroughly Machinery does it. Hand-work can't compete with ninchine-work, either in cwt or thoroughness. Mixing ty hand is mixing: and zinc is peculiarly hard to mix wants grinding.

Lend and oil is honest paint bnt less durable. Lead is tender and Zinc is tough. The proper mixture ground together is better than eitberalone. line alone but American painters think it too hard; and mis it with lead. Yonre truly.
