Electric HeadIiSht.
Railr

RailI officials who do not use the
electric headlights on locomotives do not
give thCm the credit deserved. On the Gin
cinnau, Hamilton d Dayton the value Of
the electric headlight has been more fully
tested than on any other rad in tie coun-
try, unless IL be the Vandalia, IL having
nearly al Of its passenger engines equipped
with National electric headlights. In let
ter from the official of another road c. @.
Waldo. general manager OF the Cincinnati,
Hamilton & Dayton road. was asked for
his views OF the light and its value on q
crooked road. He answered as follows:
Dear Sir-I have you letter OF Oct g. a

fact Of n change in the schedule OF our

neer recently told me personally that
rather than run an engine on this particu-
lar division OF our road without an cleo
trio headlight he would be willing 10 pay

There is no doubt In my mind but that
these lights are a safeguard against acct

many curves.

Railway Accident Canssd by Hea.

A passenger train on the North Brit
lsh railway met with a curious accident
which engineers attribute to the in
tense heat which prevailed on that day.
The train when rounding curve left
the rails and ran on the ballast for
nearly four hundred feet before it could
be stopped. This state of things was
brought about by the spreading of the
rails from the expansion caused by the
heat. According to the report the Their
mometer on that day and at this point
registered 12S degrees. The derailing
occurred at noon while the track was
exposed to the full rays of the sun.
The expansion took place within a
few hours, as an inspector had passed
over the road during the forenoon and
everything appeared to be in the usual
condition. AS the train approached the
spot the engineer saw that the rails
were badly warped, and although he
at once applied the brake, it was too
late to stop. The curious feature of
the mishap was that the engine re-
NAMED on the track, having gone safe
Iy over the spread rails. In connection
with this account comes the statement
that the road had not been kept in the
very best condition

Protection for Safes

While there may be some plausible
pretext for setting traps for mischiev
Gus persons and animals, there can be
but little urged in favor of this prac-
tice when any number of individuals
have access to the place in which the
traps are placed. An inventor has
brought out a device by means Of
which, when safe-door is opened a
hammer falls, and glass vessel con-
tanning poisonous chemicals is broken.
The fumes of the drug either stupefy
or kill the burglar. All this is very we'll,
if no one but the burglar ever went
there, but should some interested per-
son attempt to open the safe, he might
forget that the trap was placed, and be
suffocated by the vapor Of the chem
icals. Such devices involve too much
risk to the innocent ever to become
popular.

studying Designing.

Young Man and Annette ]. want to
know where one can learn designing.
Answer: Among the best places to OBJ
tain instruction in this branch of BUSH
ness is Pratt Institute, Brooklyn. The
pay one would receive for such work
when the course was completed would
depend entirely upon circumstances. A
few persons have a natural gift for
such work, and get good pay; others
do moderately well, and others, who
can merely copy or modify or alter ex-
listing patterns, receive very little.

The watch ring looks like an ordi--

Banana Leaves.

Banana leaves serve many useful
purposes, for of them are made tough
paper, from the thinnest tissue TO
thickest cardboard; clothing, hats and
brushes. mats and hammocks. Mil
lions of pounds of banana fiber, mis-
named Manila hemp" are each year
brought to the United States or taken
to Europe, and spun into cordage from
the fineness of silk up through the size
of Irvine to the bigness of mammoth
cables; and many a dainty handkcr-
chief and bit of fine lace has been
woven from the fibers of banana leaves
by the deft fingers of the women Of
South America and of the far east.

Improving the Com plsxion.

Carrie G.. and Mollie Bawn want to
know how they may improve their
compilations. They are troubled with
blackheads and freckles. Ans.-Black-
heads are caused by the accumulation
of dirt or other matter in the pores of
the skin. Careful and long-continued
bathing of the face in warm water
will usually soften the skin so that
they may be pressed out. Then the
same sort of bathing will prevent their
return. Freckles may be removed by
the persistent use of dioxide of hydro
gen.

ing artificial ice. The apparatus for
this work is of the most complete and
scientific construction. Enormously
powerful pumps force the frozen oil
into filter presses and convert the wax
into a solid cake. The uses of paraffln
are manifold, and every detail of it's
manufacture is of the greatest interest
to all scientists.
