Useeul Purposes of Rosin.

There are many useful purposes to
which rosin can be applied outside of
those Of general practice. AS a nom
conductor Of heat It is used in the pro-
lection Of water pipes, particularly in
crossing bridges. where the pipe is laid
in the middle of a long box and the
whole filed with melted rosin. Rosin
is also used in supporting basement
floors in machine shops, which may be
laid over some dry material. as spent
molding sand, which is carefully lev
eled off, and the planking laid upon
temporary supports separating it about
two inches above the sand.
Numerous holes about two inches in
diameter being bored through these
pIanks, melted rosin is forced through
them By means Of tunnels until the
whole space is solidly filed, and then
the upper flooring is laid upon these
planks In. case the floor IS subjected
to shocks sufficient to break the rosin
it rapidly joins together again in much
the same manner as the regelation OF

TaE GIRLS OF KAsRMiR.

They Once Were.

Why They Are Not as Beautiful us
They Once Were.
The girls of kashmir in former times
were sold and carried away to the
Punjab, in India. They commanded a
large price, and parents in moderate
circumstances for centuries past have
been in the habit Of parting with their
daughters to place themselves in easier
circumstances, and the daughters have
generally been quite willing to escape
from a life Of penury and labor to one
Of opuience and ease.
A Iaboring man in this part OF Inola
cannot earn over 50 or So month,
while many receive for their daughters
as high as $1,000. There are some cases
where 5000 was paid, but the usual
price has been from S100 to $500.
The practice became so common as
well as so damaging that severe law
was enacted prohibiting any one from
removing any woman from the coun-
try, but it is said that the business
goes on now as it has done for hum
dreds Of years. and to that practice
may be charged the fact that the wo-
men of Kashmir are not as beautiful
as they once were.
The process of taking all the beauti-
fuI girls away, leaving only the ordi-
nary and ugly ones to continue the
race, has lowered the standard Of beau
ty. Most of the women and girls per-
form field labor as much as the men.

Some of them have not been known three
years." replied Mr.. Newman.
Mr.. Jerome returned TO the question Of signals
in the tunnel. and pointed out how Mr.. Frank
lin had testified that he was not responsible for
the signal system, and how Mr.. Wilgus had
testified that he was not responsible for the
physical working Of the signal system.
rs there any one in particular responsible
for anything in particular in connection with
these signals?" he asked.
The witness laughed.
This may look very funny to you. Mr.. New
man." said Mr.. Jerome, but It does not
funny to the public"
THE company has nothing TO withhold" Mr..
Newman replied
Then It may be that the officials have not
even the intelligence to communicate what they
know" said the District Attorney, angrily.
Right here would like TO repeat what have
said and to what Mr.. Paulding objected the
other day about the difficulty OF finding any
in your company responsible for anything. Who
is responsible for the failure TO improve the
signal system in the tunneI?"
Mr.. Newman said that it a divided re-
sponsibility The officials concerned with the
management were responsible. Partly the presi-
dent. the directors and the stockholders were
responsible
FIXING RESPONSIBILITY.
And there is no more definite responsibility
fixed in your company? II runs all along the
line from the president of the road all the way
down to the stockholders? You. as president of
the railroad could not place the responsibility
any closer than that? IF anything is wrong
with my office 1 have to assume the response
bility. Consequently have system by which
I can place the responsibility among my assist
ants
President Newman said that primarily Mr..
Franklin and Mr.. Wigus were responsible for
the signals
And Mr.. Franklin whose early training was
conductor, and Mr.. Wilgus, who is only
thirty-four years old, and not a graduate Of a
technical school, you consider competent"
Witness said he thought they were competent.
And 10 what do you consider the collision
due?"
ITO the engineer running by the danger
signal"
And supposing he did not see the nght?"
Then that fact is responsible"
President Newman closed his testimony by
saying that the exact cause Of the collision
would in all probability never be known.
1T was due to some human fallibility on the
part Of the engineer. for which IL is impossible
TO account" he said.
William l. Addison, superintendent of traffic
OF the Long Island Railroad. testified as an
pert on signals. In his testimony Mr. Addison
praised the signal system in the tunnel.

had no further testimony to put in. He moved
