Such an increase in magnitiCation
would bring the moon within an
apparent distance of ten miles. and
Mars, when he is nearest, within
less than two thousand miles. But
even without such power, there is
little doubt that similar advances in
astronomical investigation will
solve the problem of the existence
or non-eXlstence, within the suns
domain, of other planets than the
earth, capable of supporting intel
ligent life. And, if that problem, in

BY the end of the year coal will not be
used on any of the locomotives in the
state of California. All the engines are
being now converted into oil burners.
1t is the intention of the new Central
London Railway company to erect over
its stations handsome mansions, which
will be let out in residential flats, while
in some cases, where space permits, at
tractve business premises will also be
added.
Summer cars are still running over the
traction lines in Philadelphia. The COM
pany has decided to keep the open cars
ON all winter as trailers for the benefit
of smokers. This has grown out of the
protest of physicians TO the effect that
smoking in closed cars is a menace to
public health.
In New South Wales the electric rail-
way is making rapid progress. In Aus
tralia the street railway systems of the
towns are for the most part owned by
