Engraving ON Glass.

A most ingeniously contrived machine
for engraving on glass, insuring the rap
id and economic production of decora-
tive work in that line, as also in metal
manufactures of every variety, is de
scribed in The English Mechanic.
Among the merits claimed for this de-
vice is the fact of there being no limit
to the number of objects that may be
operated upon simultaneously, with %
perfect uniformity of workmanship, and
further, the facility with which this
machine, being of 12 multiplying pow
er, can be operated upon and replaced
with fresh objects, is another important
characteristic, and three different pat
terms may be produced in one hour on
a single machine. The construction of
this apparatus fulfills the desideratum
of great simplicity, it would appear
that is, the globes, or whatever is to be
engraved, are fixed on platforms in two
upright cylindrical forms, these plat
forms being raised or lowered rs desired
by means Of a handle, and the engrav-
ing needles are applied or let off by n
touch Of the treadle-the pattern TO be
followed resting ON board at the back.

THE NICARAGUA CANAL.

TIE Manufacturers Record each week
devotes considerable epacs to setting
orth the advantages ard the great inn
portance to the south of tho Nicaragua
canal. In the current number, in
explanation OF it's reasons for so doing,
the Record says that it considers the
construction of the canal the greatest
enterprise before the Guinness world !;
that it's value to the eouth and the Pa
ci6c coast would be incalculably great
that it is within the power of the prse-
ent congress 90 start the south, and in
fact the whole country, upon a period
OF unparalleled prosperity and advance
ment. and that it would be the means of
most effeotually celebrating sectional
lines and OF csmenting the unity of the
entire country more firmly than ever
before.
The Records reasoning is supported by
$ quotation from q report made in 1919
by Commodore M. f. Maury, who, after
graphically describing the vast area OF
country tributary to the Gull OF Mexico
and the Caribbean sea. and the capabil.
tiles of that region for creating wealth,
sums up the Importance OF an isthmisn

RAILROAD CONSTRUCTION.

Railroad building in this country
would certainly appear to have reached
it's lowest ebb, when the total new mile.
age built in one year amounts to only
1851 miles. That is all the new railroad
that has been built in the United States
in 1894. That figure is lower than any
that has been reached since 1875, when
the pet increase for the year was 100
miles. the amount built being somsw hat
greater. The new mileage reported for
1894. is apparently tho smallest actual
amount OF new railroad built in any year
since the civil war, and it ia much the
smalleHt percentage of increase. Taking
Poor's figure, Of the amount OF railroad
built, at the end OF 1898 (177, 1853 miles)
the railroad CONSTRUCTED In 1894 has
added less than one per cent to that
total. hut this has been an abnormal
year in many other things than railroad
building.
Every ono at all interested knew in
January that an exceedingly email
amount OF new railroad would he built
in 1894, the only question bsing how
much the decrease would be. This can
be calculated from the following table,
giving he amount of main line built in
the lSet eight years:

THE OCTOPUS AND Pasadena.

The Southern Pacific railroad corpora
t on has captured Pasadena. 1t has car
RED the city council by assault. The
gates of this citadel were opened tresch-
erously by men whom the citizens have
hitherto trusted, but who. for some
occul. reason, ignored the expressed will
OF the people and without evidence OF
shame or contrition handed the city
over to Coils 2. Huntington and his
rspacious corporation.
The story is brief one. After PaHa-
dsna has been Eade populous and pros
porous by two railroads the Southern
Pacific comes demanding a franchise to
use one of the principal stree's. AS O
matter of form this demand was, by
order OF the city council, presented in
bid offering 500 for a privileges worth ut
least SIS 900. To prevent competition
a rider WAS inserted in the advertise
ment calling for bids providing that tbs
track laid under the franchise should
connect with the line already estah-
liahed by Southern Pacific.
The fact that it was proposed to grant
this franchise without adequate COM
pens ation to property o vners who might
be damaged, raised an opposition that
took form in a protest signed by 260
merchants aud prominent citi2ens. ask
ing in effect tina. no privileges be granted
to the Southern Pacific unless that cor
poration would agree to arbitrate COM
pensation. The corporation, OF course.
laughed at the protest Of the citizens,
and ecorned the proposition to pay for
the valuable privileges they were de-
handing.
1t is possible that no influence ives
brought to bear on the majority of the
city council OF Pasadena by the South
ern Pacific manipulators it is also pos
sibls that this majority aced on their
own bad Judgment. taking it fer granted,
in the light of limited wiadom. that
they performed perfectly legitimate
and legal action when they adopted
the resolution granting the fran.
chise, and depossd President Lukens for
refusing to sign it. To the disintereated
observer OF these extraordinary pro-
ceedings, however. the majority OF the
city council OF Pasadena do not appear
in an enviabls light. They have cringed
to the cracking OF the corporation whip,
and they have betrayed their constitu-
enta into the power OF an enemy.
We do not believe that the action OF
the council will stand test Of law. but
es the matter stands. the people must
endure the humiliation of their position
and the loss which the privileges
granted to the corporation entail. They
must submit to the exaotions imposed
or become plaintiffs in a litigation as
vsxatious ss the Southern Pacific. can
make it.
Pasadena will now have an opportun.
ity of sy mpsthizing with Oakland and
those sections OF San Francisco and the
state upon which the octopus has fas.
tened It's tentacles.
