The trike still continues to wear q
very uufavorable aspect and it appears
that anything short Of miracle can
scarcely bring about an amicable settle

By the strikers that no property would

lessly disregarded but life has paid the

Its conceded by all dizinterested
parties that the present strike is arbi-
trary and unjust, not alone as between
the employer and employed, but is
gross injustice TO the people who in
many instances helped to build the
roads the use Of which they are now
denied. About the only good reasons
they can now advance for their eonun.
ued obstinanoy is that to ''give las
would establish a bad precedent and
weaken their organization for future in

But even if justice were on the side OF
the strikers their lawless destruction OF

ANaw lncandescen Lamp.

Mr.. Max Muthel has patented in Ger
many an incandescent lamp which pos
sesses the advantage Of requiring no vacu-
um in the globe. He has, 1t is reported,
very ingeniously overcome one danger
that experiments of this kind have hereto
fore presented, and that is the fusion Of
the incandescent wire. The wire used by
him consists mixture OF bodies that
are conductors and non-conductors of cleo
tricity. He takes magnesia, silicate Of
magnesia, etc, and porcelain clay, and
forms thread OF them, which he heats TO
incandescence and saturates with SO lu-
tion Of platino-iridium salts, and after
ward raises several times TO incande-
scence In order to reduce the absorbed
salts to metallic state. Instead OF the
foregoing mixture, filaments Of clay may
be taten and saturated with q solution OF
metallic salt, which is then reduced to q
metallic state through incandescence and
the use Of oil Of lavender or some other
organic substance, or through an electric
current With wires thus prepared,
fusion is absolutely overcome, the presence
OF the non-conducting substances prevent
ing the metallic parts from melting. Mr..
Muthel supposes that the electric spark
jumps, so TO speak, from one particle to
another, and in this way causes o heating
of the other substances, which, brought to
incandescence, emit more intense light
