I Low AHANsCONTIN ENTAIL RATES FOR GER
TAIN PROJECTS TO EASTERN MARKETS.
10 IS well to consider the fact that the
railway companies have an especial inter-
est IN common with the people Of Califor-
ma IN low rates Tor the transportation Of
the various products Of the State. for
which 1t IS feasible TO find a market by
rail east Of the Rocky Mountains.
The managers of the railroads appreci-
ate this fact, and they evidently act upon
II by making rates SO low for the class OF
service performed, that they themselves
are not sure of direct and reasonable re-
muneration, or even REIN bursement OF
the actual cost to them. But whatever
tends to increase the producing capacity
OF the State IS not only beneficial TO the
people, but also to the railroad properties,
and u IS doubtless for this reason and be-
cause they estimate indirect and ultimate
compensation that the rates are so much
reduced on this class OF business.
Ihe rates which have prevailed this sea-
son on some Of the important products
shipped to Eastern markets by the South
ern Pacific Company are presented III the
following schedule:

Tropical Roofs.

slnked lime, gluten and alum. which
glazes and is so durable that specimens
three centuries old are now to be seen.
On the Malabar coast the flat bamboo
roofs are covered with a mixture of straw
and clay. This is a poor conductor of
heat, and not only withstands the heavy
rains to a remarkable degree, but keeps
the huts cool in hot weather. In SUI
matra the native women braid a coarse
cloth of palm leaves for the edge and top
of the roofs. Many of the old Buddhist
temples in India and Ceylon had roofs
made out of cut stone blocks, hewed
timber and split bamboo poles. Uneven

A Woman Electrician.

The first woman electrician in th'
world halls from the Buckeye State
Her name is Bertha Lammc. Her birth
place is Springfield, o., and her alma
mater the Ohio State University, il
whose class of '93 she took her degree il
"electrical engineering" Miss Lammt
will enter shortly the Westinghouse
Electrical works at P%ittsburg, where she
will exercise her skill as a practical cleo
trician on an equal footing with the
trained corps employed there.
Despite Edison's advocating woman's
adaptability for this branch OF scie~ce
it remained for Miss Lamme to establish
the precedent. Edison employs more
than a thousand women in his various
electrical works. Unframed, unskilled
girls were taken into his service, an6
their natural delicacy OF touch and quick.
ness of perception have developed sur
prising mechanical results. Whether a
practical electrician, however, will ever
develop from this army of uneducated
women remains to be seen. Neverthe.
less it was the mechanical dexterity OF
his women employees that led the wizard
to proclaim his faith in the possibili.
ties awaiting woman in the electrical
world.
Previous to entering the university
Miss Lamme was a country schoolteach>r.
A country high school prepared her for
college. A phenomenal love for mathe-
MATES, together with q desire, perhaps,
to open a new field for women, urged
her to follow the electrical course, which
includes OWL engineering. The latter
embraces practical work in a blacksmith
shop.
With an energy, skill and enthusiasm
unequaled by any mar in the class, Miss
Lamme experimental in the handling
and testing Of steam and gas engines, dy:
namos, motors, storage batteries, cir.
cults, instruments, etc. She completed
the course in three years, making up O
year in which typhoid fever kept her from
college by extra work. Her record as 8
ctudent is unsurpassed at the university,
whose electrical course ranks deservedl,
high.
In her brother, a practical electrician,
Miss Lamme found encouragement and
stimulation to her unique work 1t is
refreshing to record that this brilliant
girl is "a physical Juno with brilliant
brunette coloring. Her roguish brown
eyes are indicative of Astounding animal
spirits, as she was the pivot of every
mirth provoking frolic at the university,
and her %amiability made her equally
popular with men and women. Indeed
so rich in womanliness is this fair young
electrician that the greatest obstacle to
the pursuance of her new calling lies
in the opportunities of im%portunate
suitors.
