THE practice of hazing at college
Is decided y an ancient one. Pro-
fessor Williams of Johns Hopkins uni
versity says that in Heidelberg,
where he received part of his educa-
tion, he came across an old rule
printed in 1880 forbidding the prac-
tice Of the older students OF shaving
the heads OF new students and filling
their ears with wax. IL is proposed
TO abolish class distinctions at Johns
Hopkins TO put an end to hazing
practices-just as IL any one couldn't

ACCORDING to parliamentary
blue book recently printed, there are
nearly 10000 born Americans resi-
dent in England. We must trust
that they have not lost any part of
the spirit. the pluck, or the elbow

they all stand ever ready to give a

Towing on the Seine.

An account is given of some interest
ing experiments conducted by the
societe de Touage de la Basse Seine ct
d. POise upon the River Seine, which
have eliminated in the construct n
of towboat of large dimensions,
whose towing app ratus has been pro-
vided with a number of magnetized
pulleys. In size the main towing pull
lev is but little over four feet in di-
ameter, it be ng simply a solen"id
whose soft iron coil is Hanged to form
the groove, the bottom of which is a
bronze ring wi h rubber joints to pre-
vent the wire COZ from getting wet;
the current is generated by small
dynamo. The whole const uction is
stated to be simple and of very great
strength, and, hes des the advantages
of having a small towing pulley, there
is the much greater one that the
proper amount of adhesion is obtained
with only tore quarters of Il turn. A
similar magnetized pulley acts as a
brake on the slack of the chain so that
it can be properly paid out.

ELECTRIC ROADS AND SNOW.
One of the Great Anunyances That Man

ayers Must Overcome
When many of our electric railway
managers were boys it was just about
this time of year that they got down
from the attic, or up from the cellar. or
out from the wOodshed, their old
''double-runners" and polished and
oiled them up in anticipation Of many
coasts down the les hillside roads.
They are doing pretty much the same
thing now. except that the double
runners" have developed into electric
railway snow plOws. whose function Is
to spoil coasting rather than TO facili-
tate it These machines ar, of very re-
cent origin. and are still. in many ways
experimental devices
Plows and sweepers have both been
used to displace the snow from electric
railroad tracks 1t has been thought by
some companies that the sweeper does
its work too thoroughly. as it cleans off
all the snow. leaving only the bare
ground for the use of other vehicles on
runners. This causes delays to the
electric cars and interferes with their
prompt operation. Crosby and Bell
state in their book on the electric rail-
way that 1t is best to leave an inch or
two of snow on the track as when
cleared by plows- Unless the snow
is very much cOnpaeted, or has become
a sort of frozen slush- it Is then posi-

where the SHOWS are light. the sweeper

plow and sweeper service will be found
