Demand for Locomotives Increasing
Within the last four years. says the
Manufacturers Record, the demand
upon the locomotive capacity of the
railroads of the country has increased
at such an astounding rate that en-
gines cannot be kept off the road long
enough for proper repairs, and the
number of engines thrown into the
scrap heap or consumed in service
will increase greatly beyond the ca
pacfty of the builders to supply their
places. Notwithstanding the large in
crease in locomotive building, every To-
comotive builder In the country is
rushed with orders. 1t is estimated
by gentleman connected with one
of the largest locomotive works in
the country that the total number of
engines built in the United States
during 1902 was $500. or thirteen en-
gines for each working day. In 1901
the output was 1894. and 337 of that
number were for export.

German papers state that the manu-

veloping.
Quartz glass. consists essentially of
melted quartz. which is made into
tubes and other articles. 1t is per-
fectly translucent. The initial expert
ments in the manufacture OF the new
glass were made In England. but a
firm at Hanau. a few miles from
Frankfort. was the first to place
quartz glass apparatus upon the mar
ket.
Everybody who knows the proper
ties OF quartz glass admits that 1t
will soon replace ordinary glass for
many uses.

employed.-Scientific American.
