THE FROG DISPENSED WITH.

Although a large number OF railroad
accidents are laid to unknown causes, it
Is claimed that a large proportion can
be pretty satisfactorily traced to the
universally used frog. These are liable
to all sorts of accidents and are more or
less open to the meddling or malicious
ness of persons passing along the track.
The parts of the frog may often become
broken or choked. so that their function
cannot be performed. The frog is, too.
often indirectly the cause of accidents.
Weak parts of the wheel or running
gear are often developed by pounding
over these switches. and although the
accidents do not occur at the initial
points. the frog is none the less respon-
sible.
A new device to dispense with this con-
slant danger is the swing rail. This
has been put in regular use BY
the several important lines, and =
being tried by the largest railroad
corporation in this State with a
view to its permanent adoption. The
ADVANTAGE is that the continuity of the
main line track is always undisturbed
which is not the case with the ordinary
frog.
The swing rail consists of but two
parts a base plate and a rail hitched
TO il, forming what is really a swing
rail which passes over and rests on
tho main line rail, and makes effective
the continuity of the switch rail at the
point of contact. The swing rail, when
in working position, is about one and
three-quarters inches above the level
of the main line track. This provides
for the flange of the wheel. which thus
passes over the main track into the
sldIng without jolt or jar. The swing
raj when in place is perfectly solid and
lIgid. When the swing rail is not III
service 1t is absolutely out of the way
indeed, as far as the main line is con-
cerned. IL does not exist There is
therefore. no pounding of wheels. no
breaking of fianges, no fouling of point,
no Jolt-just the plain stretch of steel
or iron rail that is characteristic of
any other plain. unobstructed section
of track
The swing rail Is automatic in its ac-
ton. so that IN event OF il having been
left closed II will be opened by the pas
sage of a train on the main line Of
it's own accord. Its ability to do this
has been tested at all speeds, and is
said to be universally reliable.-chicago

is THE SUN HOT OR COLD?

30 faT as j know. no reasons at all
for doubling the high temperature of
the central body of the solar system
have ever been found. There are IN
general three distinct ways in which
heat can be transferred from one body
TO another conduction, convection. and
raGIation. The first two are dependent
upon the presence OF matter, the lat

the electric waves used in wireless

in their length. They bear the same

With the instruments at our disposal
at the present time we can measure the
length of these waves as accurately as
we can measure the length of a table

SOCIALISTS EILATsED.
Predict the Disappearance of the
Democratic Party


CHICAGO, Nov. 9.-The cheers that
rang from Socialist audiences last
night when the election bulletins
showed heavy gains for Debs were re-
echoed to-day in expressions of salts
faction by Socialist leaders in Chica
go. One of the foremost of these,
Charles H. Kerr, predicted that the
Democracy would disappear before
the next Presidential election and the
issue would be Socialism versus Re-
publicanism.
"a month ago." said Kerr, 1--WE es-
timated that nearly $4,000 Socialist
votes would be polled in Illinois. Yes
terday's election shows that nearly
that many were cast in Chicago alone
the returns showing Az Perhaps
as many more will be recorded
throughout the State, although large
crowded cities are breeding spots for
the theory of industrial freedom for
which Socialism stands
"A little over a month ago we esti-
mated 100000 votes would be polled
in the United States. The returns will
exceed these figures. Our gains have
been losses to the Democratic party.
Four years from now / expect the
Democratic party to disappear. Then
1t will be a trial of Socialism against
Republicanism-labo against CAPT.

ed the examples set for them by the
members of the Presidents Cabinet

ITO accomplish much in this direc-

eff we would help the people, If
we would furnish an organization
through which they may be relieved
Of a party that has grown so corrupt
that it will gladly enter into the
partnership of the trusts to secure
money for election purposes, we must
forget the differences Of the past and
begin this day to build up, wher-
ever II may be needed, a broad and
effective organization. We must by
constant teaching, through the press
and from the platform, apprise the
people or the way the vicious tariff
circle works.
I'VE must bring home to them at
other than election times the fact
that money contributed to the Repub-
lican party by the trusts is not only
dishonest money, but it is given that
the trusts may without hindrance take
much larger sum from the people.
In the presence of a defeat that
would take away all personal ambition,
were 1t true that otherwise 1t possess

my opinion the greatest moral question
which now confrontS us is: Shall the
trusts and corporations be prevented

rendered.
