Advance in Wages.

1t is learned from sources which are
considered reliable that the officials of the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad will i'll a few
DAYS announce substantial increase in
the wages of all engineers employed
throughout the entire system. The new
schedule is expected to go into effect on
March Ist 1900, and the wages of about
5000 men will be affected by it. 1t is
understood that in addition to the advance
in rate per hour, other concessions have
been granted relating to overtime and ex-
ira service which will make the new scheo-
ule more comprehensive in its effects than
the rate advance will indicate. Many
men in this district will be benefited by
the advance.
Delegations of the engineers from the
different branches of the Brotherhood Of
Engineers, which is one of the strongest
labor organizations in the country have
been at Baltimore in conference with of
ticias of the road and they have JUS
returned to their respective lodges. They
are said to be entirely satisfied with the
result of their conferences. The Baltl-
more & Ohio railroad has been paying
wages that are fair and it is only under
the belief that the business of the road
iustifes an advance that the brotherhood
resolved to ask for it.

Pewter Again in Fashion.

There is a passion for pewter just
now; pewter made into all the knick-
knackery that we have for the past
few years been seeing in silver. There
is about pewter a softness and piiabili-
ty which make it a fascinating materi-
al with which to model, and, therefore
besides it's use for small pieces. artists
are working out some of their best de
signs in it, In fact, reduced figures
from life and after the antique are be
ing exhibited, along with those o.
bronze and plaster. Smaller pieces
happily within reach of many are bon
bonieres, trays and ash receivers
mugs. plates and small figures. Al
of these are presented in innumerablt
shapes and designs.
Collectors of mugs are being made
happy by this revival of the use o.
pewter, and little short of madness /:
about regarding the number and rarit,
of those seen at informal evening par
ties or at other times decorating the
side walls of dining rooms. The plates
also are mostly seen as wall decora
tions and produce a stunning effec
when well hung against brillian
background.
1t is not difficult to keep these pew
ter ornaments clean. A good rubbing
with chamois every fortnight is all tina
is necessary. 1t is not desirable TO
them to have the shining lustre of sill
yer; the tones of pewter should be sof

Color of Liquid Air.

The color of pure liquid air is a beau
tifuI pale blue. Before an Eastern col
lege recently was exhibited two sam
pies of LIQUID air in glass tubes; one
was made from air which had been
washed to purify 1t from dust, SCOT,
carbonic acid and other impurities.
This. when condensed, was pale blue
liquid; the other sample was made by
condensing some of the air of the lee
ture room in which the audience was
assembled, and was an opaque, black
ish fluid, resembling soup in appear
ance. 1t would appear as If condensed
samples of air might afford an easy
means for comparing different kinds OF
contamination. 1t may be possible some
DAY to supply the hospitals of tropical
countries where the natural air supply
is bad, and the necessity for better

country air guara nteed absolutely pure

siderable distances without enormous

Hore Traffic.

The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company is moving more traffic over its
line than ever before, and the need of adj
ditionaI equipment is becoming more APP
parent every day. What is even more
gratifying to the management and the
stockholders is that the freight rates are
higher than year ago, and operating eX-
penses relatively smaller.
The company now has in service 46,cco
freight cars of every description, and COS
locomotives. A large percentage of these
is comparatively new. The managemel
placed large orders for cars and locomc-
tives during the latter part OF last year
and some of these are now being deliver
ed, and will be in the market for more
TINS year.

Mans Craze for WhittiirT.

Opportunity frequently develops from the most trivial of circumstances. A striking instance of this truism is manifested in the case of man for merly bereft of the good things Of life and now riding the crest of financial prosperity It all arose from his craze f3r whittling. Sitting one day in the smoker of Pullman attached to a western train, he picked up a pj zee of wood and began idly fashioning it into shape Perhaps because of the jour- ney, and perhaps, too, from the shape of the wood, it began to assume the form of railroad spike, the kind used in fastening the iron rails to the wood en ties. When the spike was eomplet- ed the car was still travefng on it's for ward way, so to add to his occupation and make it pass the time away the owner of the inventive penknife be- gan to tunnel the wooden spike on each of its four sides until finished it looked like symmetrical implement with edges resembling the petals of a flower. Why don't you patent that ssplke! quietly asked a prominent ralI- road official of the party as he watched the development of the stick of wood. Don't know, I'm sure. Never thought of it. Guess it isn't worth much any way" replied the whittier laughingly. But the idea clung to his memeory even if at the time he had smiled it away as incredible. A year later friend met him in New York bearing on his person unmistakable signs of the dawn of good fortune 'Yes,s he answered, agreeingly, 'sI owe it all to that wooden spike. I took that mans advice when I reached New York, had the thing patented and few weeks later a railroad company paid me S100,000 for the patent. Queer luck. wasn't it?"
