To Use Electricity.

The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad has
recently commenced experiments with
electricity for headlights on engines. En-
gines 1908 and 1916 are carrying daz-
cling arc lamp, burning I-2-inch carbon
in the headlight. The motor, driven by
the engine itself, is between the headlight
and smokestack. This light is far more
brilliant than that of the ordinary oil lamp,
the advantages of which are especially no.
ticeable in going through tunnels. Claims
have been made that the experiment will
prove very successful and may cause the
railroad company to adopt such lights on
all of its engines.
