s Railroads Have Big Task.
Approximately 2,500 carloads
of food and other necessities are
being delivered daily by the railroads
at the cantonments where
the new National army and
National guard are being trained
for service abroad, according to
reports received by the Railroads'
War Board.
The task which the railroads
have been asked to perform is a
difficult one. It involves the
supplying of all the necessities
of life for sixteen non-nrnHnrtivp
cities of a population of 40,000
each and fifty-six smaller cities
ranging in population from 300
to 3,000.
Altogether more than a million
men gathered at the various cantonments
must have their daily
necessities brought to them by
the railroads. As it takes at
least five pounds of food per day
for each soldier in addition to
the clothing, fuel and other
supplies that are constantly
needed, the railroads have their
work cut out for them.

Largest Skating Rink.
The largest skating rink In Europe, i
measuring about 35,000 square yards,
is at Davos, in the canton of the Orisons,
Switzerland, where all the great
international skating competitions
take place. It is generally open from
the third week in November until the
middle of March, And the climatic conditions
prevailing at that altitude of
6,200 feet are so excellent that it is
indeed an exception when the rink has
ever to be closed during this period.
A considerable staff of men is employed
to maintain the rink in order.
The ice is flooded every night, and is
scraped and polished in the morning
with almost the same care that glass
workers bestow upon plate glass.
