BY the sweeping vote OF l0I to
twenty-four the New York Consti-
tutionai Convention has declared in
favor OF abolishing the s., 600 statu-
tory limit for damages in case OF
death 10y injury. This includes, OF
course death 10y railroad accident.
1t is TO be hoped that the action OF
the Constitutional Convention in this
matter will become law. The en-
ample OF New York will have much
influence In bringing about reform
on the same lines in Illinois, where
the conditions are far more serious
than in the Empire State. The grade
crossing problem in Chicago is appar-
emily still far from solution. Prom.
ises TO obey municipal law are per
haps more frequently made by tn,
railroad managers than they were a
year ago, and once In a while a news
paper Is permitted to print plans for
track elevation supplied by railroad
OIL cials who have doubtless heard uf
the efficacy OF throwing tubs 10 a
whale; but there is little prospect OF
genuine action. There is no better
way TO force the railroads to decent
terms than TO remove the damage
limit and leave the assessment in the
hands OF a jury in sympathy with
public opinion An attempt TO do this
at the last session OF the Illinois
Legislature was defeated by the rail
road lobby, but II New York shall
take the initiative a second attempt
in Hin ois will doubtless bear better
fruit.

Artificial Silk.

The difficulties attending the pro-
ductiOn and utilization Of artificial
silk appear likely TO be overcome one
by one, and the ingenuity by which
these results are accomplished is in-
deed striking, particularly that ex-
h ibited in securing the necessary
hardness. The collodion issues in a
thread of extreme delicacy-siX being
required TO make strand OF the
necessary cCnsStence for weaving
but this thread, owing to its viscoS-
ity and soitness, is not tit TO be
rolled on spools, the substance being
still collodion and not silk. Now, to
produce the hardness desired, a very
unique but simple method is resorted
to-that is, the little glass tube
which forms a part OF the mechan-
ism is surrounded by small reser-
voir of the same material constantly
filled with water, and when the
thread issues from the aperture men,
toned IL traverses this water, which
takes up the ether and alcohol, and
the Collodion becomes solIditied, or in
other words Is transformed into an
elastic thread, As resisting and brill
liant as ordinary silk. Again. on &C.
count of the materials employed iE

ether, and alcohol-the stuff pro-
duced has been supposed to be danger

it as slow of combustion as any other

A comedy element was furnished by Mrs julia

she refused to be sworn as witness. She gave
dozen reasons for her obstinacy, OF varying
degrees of irrelevancy For thing she did
not want TO take an oath because she over
seventy years old; for another, she had never
taken one before. But Senator O'Connor's firm

would be arrested II she persisted in her re-
fusal. and at last she gave in. Her testimony,
however, bore no mark OF sincerity. and wa
