Edison talks enthusiastically of the
time when electrical engines will be
employed on the Pennsylvania Rail
road, and says he can readily obtain a
speed of fifty to sixty miles an hour

ours with steam; for the rails transmit
the energy that moves the train, and

ton with it.

Poisonous COlors upon Christmas Cards.

A TRADE which has of late years
sprung up and assumed enormous di-
mansions, is that of Christmas cards
and illuminated almanacs. The results
to the purchaser are extremely beauti-
full, and one can scarcely believe that in
such innocent presents a serious danger
turks, arising from the free use of bronx
ing and emerald-green powders, which
the makers of these things are obliged
to handle and breathe, whether they
like it or not. Factory inspectors are
careful to call the attention of the mas
tiers to the risks run by their employees,
and in general the precautions taken are
ample, though every now and then
some painful fact comes to light which
shows either that they have been neg
lected, or that they were too feeble to
stem the mischief. Such fact was de-
tailed in the last Factory Report, in the
case of girl aged sixteen, who had been
employed in a factory for making il
Illuminated tin-plate boxes, her especial
occupation being to dust the colors up
on them. The poor girl fell ill and died
with all the symptoms of color-dust
poisoning, and the analyst who gave
evidence at the inquest proved that the
enamels on the boxes were composed
of carbonate of lead, sulphate of mer-
curry, and others which, though not pos
lively poisonous, were any thing but
wholesome to inhale.
