A Changing Field for Talent,

In discussing the recent decline
in railway building in America,
Thomas l.. Greene writes in the
Engineering Magazine: "The time
for excessive cheapening in con-
struction or in maintenance has
gone by. If a railroad Is expected
to earn a profit for its owners I'M
der modern conditions, that end
can only be reached by good and
thorough work through the care
full expenditure of capital, whether
borrowed on bonds or taken from
earnings. We have here also a
hint for those concerned; if we de-
plore the small mileage of new road
built during the past few years,
we are not from that fact to infer
that professional skill is in less de-
mand. That demand has only
changed its form. Talent rs al
ways required, but its direction
has been turned toward improve
ment of existing transportation
facilities rather than toward the
creation of others wholly new.

Of china and earthenware articles
with a view of Ornamenting and
giving them at the same time adj

the articles to be treated is first
coated with paste containing
Nitrate of silver, l2O parts by
weight; ammonia chloride Of mer-
curry, 20; bromide Of sodium, 30
and oxide of bismuth, 20. The
articles of china or earthenWarC
thus prepared are fired in the pot

in an electro-plating bath, and the
prepared surface takes a strongly
adherent metallic coating. a very

Economy of Distance Telephony

While the cost of telephone con-
versations at long distances may
appear high, writes Franklin l..
Pope in the Engineering Magazine,
it must not be forgotten that the
correspondents are enjoying for a
limited time the exclusive use of a
plant which has cost an enormous
amount of money. Moreover, the
amount of matter that can be
transmitted by telephone under
favorable conditions in the space
of the five minutes allowed, is sur
prising. By the aid of a stenOg-
rapher 600 to 800 words have been
got through during that time,
which is cheaper than telegraph
ing, to say nothing of the Obvious
advantages realized in many cases.

Students Of ethnOgraphy will be
interested to hear that DR.. \. b.
Emerson, of Honolulu, is preparing
a full account of the POlyneSian
canoe. In a communication print
ed in the new number of the Jour
nal of the POlynesian Society, he
points out that the various migra-
tiOns of the ancient POlynesianS
and their progenitOrs, from what
ever source derived, must have
been accomplished in canoes or
other craft, and that the waa, the
pahi, etc, of today, however modi-
fled they may be under the opera
ton of modern arts and appliances,
are the lineal descendants of
the primitive Sea-gOing craft in
which the early ancestors of the
POlynesians made their voyages
generations ago. He holds, there
fore, that a comparative study of
the canoes cannot fail to shed light
on the problems of Polynesian
migrations and relationships.

Underground Wires in New York

Underground Wires in New York.
The result of the experiment
made in New York city\in burying
electric wires is summed up by
Franklin l.. Pope in the Engineer
ing Magazine as follows: 1t seems
to be pretty cOnclusively estab-
Iished that a commercially Satisfac,
tory system of underground wires
has resulted from the work Of the
past five or six years; that this is
far less liable to interruption than
any overhead system which can
possibly be devised, and that it is
less dangerous to human life; while
on the other hand, its first cost is
enormously greater,-certainly not
less than five or six times as much
for a given number of points of SER
vice; it is in many respects cum
bersOme and incOnVenient, lacking
the f1eXibility and adaptation to
different conditions of the overhead
system, while its cost precludes its
extension to sparsely settled dis
trictS, which must either be reached
by aerial wires or not at all. The
mere subway rental of the wires in
the Fifth avenue, New York, is
said to amount to about 81 cents
per lamp per night. The excess
i've cost of the telephone service
in New York is in great part due to
the same cause.-the enormous eX-
pense of the underground cOnduc-
tors now used throughout the CEN
trail districts of the city.

Protecting Ships Against Lig

protecting ShlpS Against Light
ming.
The small proportion of vessels
struck by lightning at sea is excel
lent testimony to the effectiveness
of the measures that have been
adopted for the protection of ships
against such disaster. The plan
usually followed is to run copper
lightning-rods down the masts,
connecting at the lower end with
the copper sheathing of the vessel,
in case of a wooden ship. The up
per ends of the rods extend little
above the tops of the masts, and
have platinum points. In iron
vessels connection is made with
the mass of metal, and in both
cases the lightning is almost in
variably diSsipated without dam
age. This system is of great value
on board men-of-war, where there
are large quantities of powder, and
were it not for the protection thus
afforded it would be positively
dangerous to be, anywhere near a
war vessel during a thunderstorm.
OF the two ways of connecting the
lightning-rod with the sheathing,
one is to run the rod through the
decks, down the masts, and make
the connection at the bottom of the
vessel, and the other is to run it
across the deck from the point
where the mast enters, over the
side and down to the sheathing.
The latter plan is considered the
safer of the two.

We would be glad to know if any of
the Bellamy colonies that have been
started in various parts of the country
have survived for five years. The latest
has gone into operation in the Cherokee
strip. Its members will live on the CO.
operative plan, even to the extent Of
having a cooperative kitchen and dining
room. Its progress toward failure or
success will be watched with interest.
If it does succeed, it will be the first Sec
ular cooperative colony that ever did
prosper. That at Topolobampo, Mexico,
yet survives, with chances about equally
mixed as to its continuing on from year
to year. And yet a cooperative colony
may succeed by and by. The central
idea is such an unselish as well as scien-
tifc one that in some shape it seems as
though it ought to be worked out.

Gardeners have found it hard to get
at the truth about the effect of electric
ity upon growing plants. The truth
seems to be that just enough of it is ex-
~cellent, while too much of it is worse
than none at all. 1t helps plants under
glass when judiciously applied and is
therefore beneficial for early garden veg
etables. 1t makes the leaves and stems
longer and hastens the growth. 1t like
wise makes the green parts of the plant a
deeper green, but at the same time the
plants must not be flooded with it and
drowned out. The exact amount each
gardener must determine for himself by
experimentation.

Professor Dewar's Achievement.

Since Professor James Dewar has sue
ceeded in liquefying oxygen, and other
chemists have been able to liquefy other
gases. it has been suggested that the true
definition of a gas is that it is the vapor
given off by a liquid. This will not do. If
a pressure at low temperature can be ap-
piled to make a liquid out of a gas, there
is reason to believe that if greater pres
sure were applied at still lower tempera-
ture then the liquid could be reduced to
a solid. Water as we usually see it is a
liquid, but at a higher temperature it is
vapor; at a lower n a solid. Professor
Dewar's great achievement favors moth
ing less than the startling theory that
all substances, whether we know them
commonly as solid. liquid or vapor, can
be reduced to all three of these forms.
Thequestion is, Which is the original one?
We know that the first form of mat
ter, so far as science can judge, was
gaseous-star mist or fire mist. That
was the original form of matter, if we
can suppose it to have had at all an
original form. The right way to put
the definition, then, would be that solid
or liquid Is a gas which has been sub
jected to pressure at the proper tenn
p%erature. Both pressure and tempera-
ture are of course different for different
substances, if indeed all substances
may not some day be proved to be one
identical form of matter, differentiated
by diverse arrangement of atom and
molecule and varied conditions.
Dewar's discovery will add to science
a new expression-namely, the critical
point" Or temperature Of a gas. The
earlier attempts to liquefy oxygen were
unsuccessful, because they consisted of
the application of pressure at too high a
temperature. The exact degree of cold
to which a gas must be reduced before
it will liquefy under pressure is called
its "critical point" The critical point
for oxygen gas is 166 degrees below
freezing point-that is to say, 1874 de-
grees below zero. In obtaining liquid
oxygen Professor Dewar has succeeded
in reaching a temperature of 25G degrees
below zero. Professor Dewar lisa Scotch
man by birth. He was the pupil and as
sistant Of Sir Lyon Playfair, and he is at
present professor of natural experiment
tai philosophy in the University of Cam
