THOSE SUN D1ALs.
Description of a Unique Santa Fe De-
vice at Dodge.

Upon the right of way at Dodge City,
where the company changes time. .
just east of the station platform, the
Atchison, Topeka q Santa Fe railway
has described in the ground north of
the track two big sun dials, about Is
feet in diameter, that never fail to at
tract the attention of travellers, says the
Kansas City Star. They are side by
side, the one on the east marking cen
trail time" and the one on the west
mountain time" The hours are indica
ted by Roman numerals, as the dial of
set in the black earth. The shadow is
cast by a bar set at an angle and sus-
tanned by post. On the dial of noun
tain time, the sun day begins at )
o'clock in the morning and ends at :
o'clock in the evening. On the other it
begin at 6 o'clock in the morning and
ends at o'clock in the evening. The
ten hours between are not indicated on
the dials, for the obvious reason that
there is no sun above the horizon dur
ing that part of the day. In the figures
here given the artist has cast the shad-
OW at O'Clock a. M, mountain time,
and an hour later central time A line
between the two dialS indicates where
central time ends, going west, and
mountain time begins. The western edge
of mountain time is in Arizona and Ne
vada and the eastern edge of central
time is in Ohio. To thoughtful persons
the dials at Dodge City are instructive,
and while trains wait to change crews
and take meals passengers never fail to
study them carefully.

LAW OF ENGLAND.
Railroad Gets Damages From Union
of Striking Employees.


The Taft Vale railway company of Eng
land awarded verdict of damages
against the Amalgamated Society of
Railway Servants in an English court re-
Gently because of alleged conspiracy in
bringing about a strike the road in
August, 1900. The company sued for $780,
900. The sum to be paid by the labor
union will be fixed by the judge after
arguments at the next sitting of the
court.
The railway company claimed it lost
the damages claimed by reason of the
strike instituted by the Amalgamated So
ciety of Railway Servants. The suit was
regarded as a remarkable departure in
the industrial situation in Great Britain.
and many eminent lawyers were engaged
on both sides. The railroads principal
contention was loss of business through
malicious molestation, picketing, and in
tinidation.
Sir Alfred Wills. the justice who sum-
med up the case in the kings bench di-
vision of the high court of justice. added
that il was time for a man occupying
the position he did to have the courage OF
expressing his opinions in reference to
these perpetual attempts to shuttle out
of responsibility
The evidence, the justice said. was alb
solutely overwhelming that the action OF
the Amalgamated Society of Railway
Servants was what the law called I'M
lawful conspiracy to modest and injure
the plaintiffs in their business by unlaw-
full means
Justice Wills criticised the subtle in
tricacies of the defendants case as the
perpetual shufflng of cards and the con-
an experienced conjurer, of the card OF
nonresponsbility, which was contrary to
common law. common sense, and every
thing else He reserved decision on the
question of the amount of damages to
be awarded for legal arguments at the
next sitting of the court.
