POSSIBILITY OF RESCUE.
Mon in the Pittston Mine May be
Taken Out Alive.
A special of Sunday from Wilkos-
barre, Pa., says: There is just a possi¬
bility that some of the men entombed
in the Twiu shaft at Pittston may be
taken out alive. Tho resetting party
has reported to the mine foreman,
O’Brien, that they heard rappiugs on
tho rails of the gangway road, which
may have been caused by some of the
entombed men. The rappiugs were
clear and distinct, ns if somo one had
struck the rail with a bard substance.
Tho supposed signal was auswered
by the rescuers in the same manner.
After a short silence tho answer came
clear mid distinct. The sound seemed
to come a distance of 300 feet from
where tho rescuers were at work.
At 7 o’clock Sunday night the res-
cuers reported that in their opini on
they are within 400 feet of tho eu-
tombed men. The shifts , have been
increased from tvveuty men to thirty-
five, who aro relieved every half hour.
They are still cutting through the
rook and progressing mom rapidly
than at any lime since the work has
commenced.

Ponderous Engines that Drag Tim-
bsr Down Mountain Sides.
In the vicinity of tho town ot
Verdi, Ual., the highways have been
completely ruined for carriagepur-
poses by ponderous road engines
wiiich aro used by the lumbermen.
They are larger and heavier than the
largest railroad locomotives. ’They
pro el themselves and draw from
eight to a dozen great cars aden
with timber from nearby forests for
swjtJSSs MoMlIr

gmes. Without the flanges tne
wheels would slip, as the engines „ go
up and down the steep grades—so
steep that it would not pay to cart
t.lie timber with either horses or
oxen.
The engines cost groat sums of
money, and are only practicable be¬
cause there are millions of dollars’
worth of timber upon ihe hillsides.
So they wore created for a special
purpose and are altogether too pon-
lerous and expensive to serve any
other purpose.
They are supported and propelled
by three wheels, all driving wheels
connected with the same cylinders
(two in number) and guided by the
single wheel placed directly in front
of the boiler head. In order that
this wheel may bo used ns a steer¬
ing wheel a serios of ingenious ball
joints, permitting a swivel in any
direction, connect the cranks with
the rods.
A cab containing the steering gear,
a horizontally placed wheel similar to
those used upon book and ladder
trucks, is placed directly over the
boiler head. The pilot is also en¬
gineer. The throttle, reversing lever,
whistle and guages are ranged about
this cab in convenient form. At the
rear is another cab, usod by the iiro-
man, also set up with gauges and
valves. Wood is the fuel used and
wood stations and tanks located overy
mile or two along the road do away
with the necessity of towing a large
tender, and the only incumbrance to
the machino, aside from its load, is a
small tank strapped upon the boiler,
rose mbling the camel-back engines
used in railroad yards for shifting.
The connection between engine and
train is made with chain, the tongue
of each wagon fitting in a traveler
upon the rear axle of the preceding
wagon.
A Sunflower Clock.
Kansas has often been called the
Sunflower State—a title more than
ever appropriate since the foreman
upon Governor Motley’s farm con-
structed his sunfiowor clock. Choos¬
ing an enormous sunflower, he at¬
tached to its drooping head a tiny
cornstalk, not more than ten feet
long. About tho plant he drew a
circle, and divided it into twenty-'
four parts, each of which was subdi¬
vided for minutes and seconds. And
now, as the faithful plant from dawn
till dusk eyes its fierce lord, the
cornstalk pointer moves about the
dial indicating the time. The used sun-
flower clock can also be ns a
stop watch to time races by
holding over it a big umbrella, w'bich
checks the revolution upon th
stant, when tho time to a tracts
a second may he read off on oi^H tl£

land, bringing up tho rear guard.
He registered: ‘H. C. Miner and

pen and registerered with a flourish :
