THE DECIMAL SYSTEM OF NOTATION.

In the year 90l after Christ, news was
brought from Arabia that spread on the

secret, which he may have obtained from
india. 1t had occurred to him that the
number ten, instead Of being represented
by tie Roman y, might as we'll be iudi-

THE ILLUMINATION OF RA1LRoADa

RAILROAD men have recently been con.
sidering the feasibility Of using the electric
light for headlights to their engines and
for the purpose Of generally illuminating
trains The difficulty in the way seems to
BE- that the jar in the locomotives and
coaches IL liable to cause uncertainty in the
continuity Of the light. But there is one
method that does not appear to have been
discussed to which this objection will not
apply. That is, utilising the existing tele.
graph. poles and wires for the purpose Of
making continuous illumination along the
railr. ad tracks. There are thirty telegraph
poles to the mile, and If on every other one
of these were hun. an electric lamp, the
entire truck could he made as light a. day.
This would do away entirely with the need
OF the expensive and cumbr0us headlights,
and, to come ext, emit, with the necessity for
using o!l.lamps in the train. 1t woui., 10
obviate al the dangers to railroad ;'..o
chat are now incident to the darkness. Ac.
oidents resulting from washouts or I'LL en-
trees, or land slides woull be things OF the
past. Distinctions placed by malicious
persons on the tracks would be seen ut
once. or, were the indicators to take the
precaut0n of cutting the wires before at.
tempting to wreck the train, that would ut
once extinguish all the lights within tho
circuit, anu give warning to the train off.
rers that danger was ahead. Moreover,
suppose the case Of train dispatched on
mistaken orders. ~ .oon us the case was
discovered, the operator at tho battery
could. NY simple movement of the hand.
extinguish the lights. which would be
signal for the tram vii in his circuit 10
come to a stand aud wait for orders. II
may be urged against the suggestion that
so,ne Of the lamps might get out OF order
and remain 30, unless q close and expensive
system Of supervision were maintained.
This difficulty eau be met with further
suggestion that. by simple system OF let
tering and numbering The lamps. the ens1'
neers Of passing trains could report to 10
next station what particular lamp or lamrs
might happen to he out Of order. At any
rate, the plan, which has been suggested
by practical railroad man Of great expert.
ence, presents SO many points OF apparent
advantage that it must he worth examine
ton. 10 the public at large it would GER
tainly give greater feeling Of security
than is possible under the present system !;
and, If the economical questions connected
with it can be satisfactorily adjusted, II
