THE RED MAN’S COUNTRY
E. J. Scott, a Former Citizen of New
ark, Writes of His Trip, and
Tells of the Country.
Editor The Journal1
I thought I would write you a
few lines to try and draw your
mind away from tlto.se clerical gen
tleman. I left Newark Monday
the 13th of Feb. stopped in New
port, left there the 14th at 11
o’clock. Left Little Rock at 1
o’clock on the morning of the 15.
llad a run of 278 miles to a town
in the Creek nation by the name
of Holdenville. We then had a
run across the Chocktaw nation
and passed through the great coal
fields of that territory. At Hold
enville I took the Frisco south,
and had a run of 75 miles to Mill
creek. Passed through the Semi
nole and stopped at Mill creek in
the Chickasaw nation. There 1
left the railroad and came out to
Drake, eight miles.
I find a most beautiful farming
country, as well as I can see for
the snow and ice. Snow has cov
ered the ground ail the way thru
from start to finish. It snowed
here all day yesterday. There is
a heavy snow on the ground now,
has been for six weeks. There
has been some cattle frozen to
death in this country. The cold
spell has lasted so long the jack
rabbits and quails have got so poor
the hunters refuse to shoot them.
Other game is scarce. Now read
this and dump it in the waste bas
ket. Your friend,
K. J. Scott.

NEW WELDING MATERIAL.
The Use of “Thermite” or Liquid Steel
in Joining Rails and
Shafts.
Welding a broken shaft, or even
the ends of rails on trolley lines,
is considered of sufficient impor
tance to require experts at tie*
head of the work, but if the new
welding material, thermite, ful
fills all that is promised, unskilled
workmen may be doing this work
in the near future. The thermite
rail-welding process has already
been accepted abroad, and 20,000
joints have been united by the
system in 40 European cities. The
rail ends must be cleaned from
dust and rust by a wire brush, and
then slightly warmed. A mold is
then fitted around the ends and
the thermite is heated in a cruci
hie directly above the entrance to
the mold, into which it flows as
soon as the temperature rises to
the melting point. The welding
is done automatically by the ther
mite itself, and thus the super
vision of an expert welder is not
required. In welding a heavv
shaft the mold is built up around

Candles in Mexico.
Candles are largely used in
Mexico, owing to the great ex
pense of petroleum. A bookkeep
er may be seen making his entries
in a great ledger by the light of
a single candle. A Mexican print
er can work with a candle stuck
carelessly into one of his boxes,
and two tailors in the small shops
can be seen sharing the rays of a
■ingle dip.
