DRAGLINE MOVED
TO NEW LOCATION
ON GRAVEL BED
Bucyrus Dragline Excavator I*
Moved FartHe- In On the
Gravel Bed Near Bailey.
Tin Bucyrus drain in * excavator
has now been moved from her old
position to a new one about SO
feet farther in on the bier gravel
bed near Bailey station. Ihe mov
ing: was done on Saturday after
the day gang had gone off shift.
The work of taking up the tracks
and relaying them to accommodate
the gravel cars near the new loca
tion of the dragline was commenced
yesterday morning and the work of
loading the gravel cars was re
turned this afternoon.
i
There was no time lost on the
I new D line by reason of the time
I taken up in making the changes in
i the location of the excavator and
j moving the gravel train tracks. The
| steel gangs were added to the bal
lasting and surfacing gangs and this
work was continued without inter-1
ruption, as there had been a large1
| quantity of gravel banked along th;
: D line handy for use in just such
cases.
SUBJECT SHELLS
IB CLOSE STUDY
PARIS—That the bursting-charge
of shells from the German long
range guns is mixed while the pro
jectiles are in actual flight is the
belief of French scientists, accord
ing to a technical journal published
here.
When the shelling of Paris began
j it was noticed that the explosion
of a shell produced a cloud of smoke
mixed with a little that was white
and accompanied by a strong smell
| of ether. Rcently the smoke has
j ben entirely white and very light,
I the ether odor persisting.
No shell that failed to explode
; has been found, nor even an entire
j fuse, indicating how delicate and re
liable the explosive is. This fact
leads experts to suppose that the
shell is charged with two liquid ex
plosives, separated by the perforated ;
partition which is known to exist in
the center of the projectile.
When the shell is fired at a high
angle the liquid in the upper end
combines with that in the lower
chamber, and churned by the violent
rotation, produces at the moment
of impact, three minutes later, a
perfect mixture. This would ex
plain, it is said, the ability of the
charge to resist the enormous shock
when fired and the remarkable uni
formity of the explosions.

BASEBALL NEW BOND
American baseball is supplying a
new bond of fellowship between men
of the Italian army and American
Red Cross workers along the Italian
front. It made an instant hit with
the Italians. An ambulance man
wrote recently: “Most of them as
yet catch the ball with their stom
achs, but they are making rapid
progress. They borrow our ball
whenever it is not in use.”
OF STEEL
SIX MILES OOI
E
Nearly Six Miles of Track Have
Now Been Laid; Third Trestle
Is Being Driven.
_
Steel has reached the north bank
of the first tributary of Julius creek
at station No. 18966, a total dis
tance of 31,400 feet, or nearly six
miles. Piledriver No. 4 commenced

meantime the steel gang has been
added to the strength of the sur
facing crew and will work with them
until the brige has been completed
sufficiently to permit of the track
laying work to be undertaken.
