WILL THE UNITED STATES
INTERFERE?

Since the American fleet under
Admiral Dewey has been sent to-
ward the seat of war in Venezuela,
it is legitimate to probe into the
reasons for the sending.
Great Britain and Germany have
doubtless agreed upon concerted
plans of military operation. There
fore, we may expect to see them
carry military matters with a hlgh
hand whenever the crisis is reached,
unless the United STATES government,
in PRACTICAL ownership of Porto Rico
and Cuba, Shall say, "Thus far and
no further'' TO the two strongest ma
tons on the eastern continent. When
such an ulti4latuIn is issued Will this

the dispute? II such activity is pro-
nounced, viii !nis government side
with Germany and England, or give
Venezuela solid backing? should
Germany and England be permitted
10 occupy the ground?
It is the unexpected which hap
pens nine times out of ten. Perhaps
these United States will have their
hands full before this Venezuelan
suuabble is ended. Stranger things
have happened.
The Boxer troubles in China afford
an illustration in point. Little by

tingent was arrayed against the
Chinaman, and the excitement in
Pekin rose to cyclonic fury.
Venezuela seems to be debtor in
large amounts to Germans, English
men and Frenchmen.
The latest dispatches go to prove
that Germany and England propose
to collect their claims by military
force. France is willing, apparently,
to give Venezuela a chance to pay
its indebtedness to France by collect.

MINISTER as INVENTOR.
Patents Device to Show Record of Lo-
comotives.

EdJeuLS OeVlcS 10 snow h6CoIu VI AO-
comotives.
A minister has invented a device
which promises to go into general use
if il comes up to the standard claimed
for it, The machine is called a rail
way chrOnograph. " and the patenJee is
the Rev. H. G. Sedrick of Milwaukee, a
former telegraph operator. A descrip-
ton of the invention has been received
in Salt Lake.
The new device is constructed of
metal and is simple There are several
springing bars operated by cogs that
are attached 10 various parts of the
engine by rods. These bears have tips
at one end that punch holes in a paper
tape fed over reels like the tape in a
ticker.
The inventor claims that this Will

TURNS NIGHT INTO DAY
Powerful Headlight to Be Used
on Engines May Decrease
Accidents.

Chicago. Feb. ia practical DEM
onstration of the utility of a new de-
parture. which, il is claimed by rail
way officials will effectively prove the
solution in a large degree of the rail-
way collision problem, was made last
night on the Chicago, Milwaukee &
ST. Paul road, near here. The device
consists of an exceedingly powerful
headlight, which not only perfectly IL
Eliminates the track with an immensely
bright shaft of light for d distance of
a mile. but also embraces the StTik-
ing and novel feature Of beam Of
light of almost equal brilliancy pene-
trating over 200 feet above, which can
be clearly seen ten miles distant.
1t is thereby possible for approach
ing trains to absolutely locate each
other by this vertical shaft of light,
though miles apart, and it is this fes-
ture which railroad officials claim will
eliminate the possibility of collision.
This vertical beam will. in billy coun-
try especially. where curves in the
track are numerous. so positively fix
the location of trains that nothing but
carelessness on the part of enginemen
will permit a collision.
The apparatus consists of a powerful
electric arc headlight, a dynamo and
steam motor, all of which occupy the
space on the locomotive usually devot-
ed to the headlight. The dynamo which
generates the current for this veTitabl
searchlight occupies a space of less
than fifteen inches wide directly be-
hind the headlight, and is operated by
a motor driven by steam impact on a
turbine wheel. The current is 5000
candle power. which can be reduced to
any degree of briiliancy at the will Of
the engineer.
One of the heaviest passenger en-
gines on the Chicago. Milwaukee & St
Paul, fully equipped with this head
light, drew a special train 4 number of
miles out of Chicago last night and a
practical demonstration on the work
ing OF the apparatus was given under
the supervision of Charles ". Adams,
formerly assistant general passenger
agent OF the Pennsylvania system. At
a distance of half q mile the telegraph
poles and framework on the soma
phores were clearly defined. while the
track bed itself was distinctly visible
for one mile.
Straight above the locomotive a shaft
of light as thick as mans body
penetrated the darkness. and persons
posted ten miles away reported that it
was clearly distjnguishabIe. This is an
entirely new departure in headlight il
luminet ton and railway signals II is
further proposed to convey signals of
distress or other communications when
trouble occurs between telegraph
points by the use of colored glass to
color the vertical ray of light. Among
those aboard the special last night
were H. r. Williams. general manager
Of the Chicago. Milwaukee & st. Paul:
w. j. Underwood, assistant general
manager; c. A. Woodward, general
superintendent; F. A Miller, general
passenger agent. and J. F. Gibson. di-
vision superintendent. and it was the
opinion that the headlight
was thoroughly practical and would
become one of the future requisites in
railroading.

ACETYLENE To
LIGHT THE CARS
Oregon Short Line May Change
System of Illumination.
PREACHER AS INVENTOR
MINISTER PATENTS DEVICE FOR
SHOWING RECORD OF ENGINES.

THERE is d strong prospect that the
oregon Short Line viii adopt
acetylene gas for use in the light
ing Of cars irstead of the Pintsch gas
now in use. The recent accident to the
gas plant in Ogden, necessitating the
use of candles for the lighting of trains,
has been used as an argument in ia
vor of the new system.
Experiments have been practically
completed with aeetylene burners on
the cars. Experimental lights were
put in some time ago in the private car
of Division superintendent J. H.
Young. The tests have been highly
satisfactory. 1t is declared that the
acetylene gives a brighter and better
light at a smaller expense. No costly
gas plant is necessary as a part of
this system. The principal objection
urged is that in case of an accident,
permitting the acetylene TO escape into
the car, the odor would be extremely
