COOPERATION

Cooperation has beer said to be the
solution Of labor difficulties. This is the
idea Of Mr. Burns, the active English
leader. Sympathetic co-operation would,
10 doubt, reconcile every difference be-
tween the employed and the employer.
No practical experiment in this direction
has ever been Disappointing For instance,
the vice president Of the Illinois steel com.
pany at Joliet year ago inspired the
organization of club to he made up OF the
employees of that large concern, Recently
the anniversary of the organization was
held. and prominent residents Of Chicago
were invited TO participate in the enter
tainment Over dozen milIionhires We're
present, mostly stockholders, and they sat
side 10y side with the btawuy men Of toll
and enjoyed the exercises. The establish
ment Of mutual confidence between the
officers and The employees of the company
has been Of untold value TO both, and if
confidence is maintained such a thing as
a strike will be rendered impossible. II
is too often the case that no effort is made
to reconcile labor difficulties until the
contention has become SO bitter and per-
sonul that all friendly Offices are spurned
by both sides A little Of the spirit Of
humanity and sympathy at The outset
woula often settle the most threatening
disagreement between an employer and
his employees,

An event Of rare and great interest TO
the disappearance OF Sarurns
rings will take place this year. Ever

rings are has long been puzzling
question to astronomer The theory now
most generally accepted is that they are
composed of crowds Of satellites, too small
to be seen separately. On September p,
the plane of the RINGS will pass through
the earth At that time mundane beings
will see them edgewise if at ALL and
as seen through powerful telescopes they
will present the appearance of a straight
line of light Between September % and
October 80 they will almost entirely dis
appear, as the sun and the earth will
be on opposite sides Of the plane Of
rings. After October 30 they will reap

ELECTRIC RAILWAYS.
The Speed of an Electric Car Limited Only
by Its safety

Mr.. Theodore P. Baily recently gave
some interesting figures and facts in .
lecture on electric railways He stated
that the possible speed Of an electric car
is measured only by the limit OF safety.
The regulation in the majority of places
is twelve miles an hour and the average
mileage per car a day Is about one humid
red aud fifteen. II is well known that
upon geli-regulated steam railroads the
locomotives rarely make a continuous run
of over 100 miles a day and with much less
care and in every way better service the
electric locomotive has, therefore, dis
tinct advantage. The smallest town IN
the United States which has an electric
street railway in operation Is Southlng
ton, Conn, with a population OF 54yO.
Two cars are in service over two miles OF
track and the average daily receipts are 81
IA car. The power for the operation of this
road is furnished by the local lighting
company and costs 81 p a car a day. The
largest electric railway is at Boston, Mass.
This entire system comprises 2S4 miles OF
track, sixty OF whIcn are electrically equip
ed, and there are 3l2 motor cars In op-
peration, During the month of August
they had 800 motor ears in service, max
ing a total mileage Of 1874, 100000. As to
the equipment of electric railroads, Mr.
Baily anticipates no radical change for
some time to come The development
will be more in details
