THE American locomotive has
crossed the Atlantic ocean and has in
vaded England. Each time it comes
into competition with the British
made locomotive the American ma
chine gets the best of it. The London
Daily News recently made careful in
quiry into the reasons why the locomo-
tives of American build have displac-
ed SO many of English make. Ma
turally the manufacturers of England
and many of the newspapers are fight
ing against the introduction of Amer
lean machinery as against the plague,
and it is refreshing to find a great
newspaper that will come out and tell
the truth about the situation. The
Daily News asserts that our product is
of superior workmanship, of greater
drawing power, of greater speed capa-
city, of greater endurance, of superior
design and more economical IT, opera
ton. This is pretty hard on the Brit
ish locomotive builder, but it speaks
well for the efficacy of the American
policy of protection to home indus
tries.

THERE is possibility that such con
ferences as that now in session 81
Wichita may be productive of great
good. But to realize the promise that
they give, they must conine them
selves strictly to commercial and indus
trial interests and not get into political
discussions or take up local issues. II
may be that the present congress Will
be an exception TO the rule. but the dis
patches state that the governor of Tex
rs has gone there with the intention of
pushing antitrust action along party
lines, while the governors OF Arizona
and Oklahoma will devote all their en-
ergies to working up sentiment in ia
vor of statehood for their respective
territories. Other advocates OF
special schemes will be on
hand, and it is likely that the meeting
will largely psrtake of the character
of q political convention. There is
much to be done by such conferences.
but if one is to Judge by the published
prospectus of the present one there is
too much of q populistic disposition to
settle all things and reform the world
in the space of four days. Our best
wishes are with the conference, and it
is to be hoped that it will result in
great good.

A Shower OF Hats and Shoes.

Charles e. ". Mieglatz contributes
GA Boys Recollections of the Great
Chicago Fire. to St. Nicholas. Mr..
Mieglatz says:
Once, for few minutes, I thought it
was all over with me. The flames
sprang from the middle Of the block,
on the east side Of Wells street between
Washington and Randolph, to the mid
die of the block between Randolph and
Lake streets. Here a remarkable thing
happened. At the northwest corner OF
Wells and Lake streets I stopped for
moment to catch my breath and to look
back. at the southeast corner there
was a boot and shoe shop, which had a
glass front on the rear alley, similar to
that on the street front, but not so elab-
crate. The fire struck this alley front
with force that swept the boots and
shoes through the shop and into the
street in flash. A tongue Of fame shot
out, rolled across the street and klndIed
a tar kettle and barrel, such as PAYERS
use, bringing with it a shower Of boots
and shoes. Almost at the same instant
the fire threw itself against hat fac
tory, a few doors east Of the boot and
shoe shop. It hit the rear of the build
ing with the same impelling force, and
the hats flew up into the air like spray.

o,-r,,,,anse Railway System.

The railway system in the United
States employs 5000 locomotives, 49,
900 passenger cars and 5000 mail and
baggage cars. These figures seem large
till the number of freight cars is stated,
which is l, $50. 900. A passenger train
consisting of locomotive, tender, bag
gage and six passenger cars, with their
contents, is estimatd to weigh about
1S4 tons Freight trains sometimes
reach weight Of $50 tons. An ordinary
passenger car costs from 81, 900 to So
600 and sleeping car anywhere from
$4,000 to $4,000 The system, with
its gigantic equipment, is practically
the growth of single generation. With
the additions of another quarter or hall
a century posterity ought to stand and
gaze at its stupendous proportions. But
it will probably be gradually educated
out of all it's capacities Of wonder, as we
have been out of many Of our own

The Heaviest Thing In the World.

The Heaviest Thing III the World.
The heaviest thing in the world is the
metal osmium, the blush white metal
with violet luster which Mr.. Smithson
Tenant discovered 30 years ago in the
residue from dissolved platinum ores.
This metal has specific gravity Of S2.-
At; that of gold being 1926; lead,
11.3G7; iron, 7.79, and lithium, the
lightest, only O.594.
The French chemist, Jolly, determined
that osmium is likewise the most in
fusible of metals. 1t could never be
made to yield to the oxyhydrogen fame
which makes platinum and iridium
run like water, but Jolly has been sub
jecting osmium to the exclusively high
temperature Of the electric arc which
Moissan has of late employed successful
ly in the manufacture Of diamonds.
Under this fierce heat the rare metal,
ruthenium, which used to be deemed all
but infusible, readily melts, but osmium
remains refractory, there being apparent
" only the faintest traces Of fusion. On
this account osmium cannot be prepared
in sufficient quantities to make it very
useful in the arts, but its alloy with ir-
iridium, which defes the acids, is Of
some value, nothing better having been
found wherewith to tip gold pens. Be-
ing nonmagnetic, its employment for
the bearings of the mariners compass
has been advocated.-Popular Science

INSURANCE AS COMMODITY.

Status Of Life Policies.

Supreme Court Fixes the Negotiable
Status Of Life Polices.
ATLANTA, Oct. 30.-The commercial
value and negotiability of life insurance
policies were the subjects Saturday OF
decisions in the supreme court OF the
state.
In one case it was decided that, "while
a valid contract of insurance cannot
lawfully be taken On the life Of another
by one who has no insuraDle interest
therein. yet, as one has an insurable in
terest in his own life, ne may lawfully
procure insurance thereon for the bene-
fit of any other person whose interest he
desires to promote. a contract so en-
tered into is in no sense a speculative
one"
In another case in which the assign
ment of an insurance policy was at
stake, the supreme court held that
creditor of person having his life in
sured, who takes an assignment of the
policy to secure his debt, is only enti-
tied to retain. after collecting the policy.
such an amount as is sufficient to pay
the debt together with ali advances the
creditor has made to keep the policy in
force -
