An ingenious machine for the re- pair and maintainanoe of railroad tracks has been experimented with for some time by the Canadian Pacific Railway, it is reported A gasoline motor generates power for an electric metallic arc welder and a grinder. These in turn build up and smooth out worn sections of rail near joints. It can operate anywhere on the lines, quite apart from any outside source of electric. power. Shipping beer by tank cars is an innovation alike for the brewing industry and railroading. A London brewery is now using In- sulated and refrigerated glass lined tanks containing 4,800 gal- lons to ship beer to their Montreal bottling plant. The tanks are the same as those used to ship milk in bulk, but have the addition of a safety valve to release pressure in excess of twelve pounds that may be generated in transit.

Her own particular ambition, she said, was to recruit all the surplus sisters from all classes to go with their brothers, take services on a Canadian farm whilst their brothers did likewise, and thus gain experie- nce until their own land house were ready for them, and very, soon there would be an exchange of sisters into wives in the most natural way pos- sible.
