BOSTON PEOPLE WALK.
All the Cars Except Cpon Two Lines Quit
Running.

Boston, Dec. 25.-In spite OF official
announcement of the Motormen's and
Conductors union of the West End
Street railway. made early Thursday
morning that the proposed strike over
the alleged non-recognltion of the un-
ion by the West End management
would be deferred until Dec. 80, many
of the employees have taken the matter
into their own hands. and at 10 O'clock
the service had been seriously crippled
by men leaving their cars.
At 10 O'Clock all the cars were off
the streets Of Boston except those of
the Washington street line. and the
South Boston division. The men on the
other lines, as fast as they came into
the car houses after the early trip.
stopped work on being told of the sit
uation. The executive committee of
the Pioneer Federal union, the central
organization of the employees, held a
meeting in the morning, at which the
action of the supreme council after
midnight In deciding to postpone the
strike, was criticised. President Young
of the union issued request that all
employees, both in and out of the city.
remain at work until noon, when, he
said, every line would be stopped. The
police have reserves at each station,
but according to telephone reports from
all sections of the city and suburbs ev-
erything is passing off quietly.
1t Is understood that a conference be-
tween the union executive committee
and the West End directors will en-
deavor to come to some understanding,
but it is admitted that this. will be a
difficult matter. The union officials say
that eleven mail cars which run over
the different lines of the road will not
be involved. The West End Street rail-
way operates the street car lines
throughout the city proper, South Bos-
ton, Dorchester, East Boston, Bridge
ton. Cambridge. portions of Newton,
Maiden. Everett, Medford, and in the
entire Roxbury and Charlestown dis
tricts.

Telephones and Lightning.

Investigations carried on for sew
eral years have shown that the in
PRODUCTION of the telephone has
greatly lessened the danger from
lightning. German statisticians
have established data secured by OBJ
servation of 4,374 buildings in cities
without the telephone and 81, 444 in
cities which have telephone service.
The annual average of lightning
striking these houses for the past five
years shows that four of the 4,374
buildings in cities without telephones
were struck, while only two of the
81, IA houses in cities with telephone
service suffered in that way. The
proportion pro rata in 100, 900 houses
would be 81 to 5, which proves how
much less the danger from lightning
is in cities where the telephone is in
troduced than in those without it.

IN THE PATH OF A BULLET.
A Plate Of Glass Shattered by the
Preceding Air Wave.

Prof. Boys, of London, recently
delivered an Illustrated lecture in
which he showed photographs of the
e-Metford bullet as it passed
through a quarter-inch sheet of
glass. Just before the bullet touched
the sheet the air wave cut a disk OF
glass about half an inch in diameter
clean out. At the same time the
glass around the hole was crushed
into powder and driven back at an
extremely rapid rate. The glass stuck
to the bullet for a short time after it
had passed through, the disk being
driven out in front Of the "bow
wave" In this experiment the waves
caused by the vibrations of the glass
were plainly shown. A photograph
of the bullet after it had cleared the
glass by nine inches showed the re-
mainder of the glass intact, but
when the bullet had proceeded an
other 16 inches the sheet of glass
was seen to break and fall in frag-
