SPEEDY ELECTRIC MOTORS
They Are Constructed on Lines Els
sentially Different from Those
Now in General Use.

Electric locomotives now building
differ radically in their electric features
from any locomotives hitherto shown.
The motors are bi-polar gearless, the
magnetic circuit, the field windings,
and the motor poles being integral
with the locomotive frame and spring
supported. The laminated pole faces
are vertically congenital to the arma-
lures, thus providing for the vertical
movement of the locomotive frame,
with attached poles, without affecting
the armature air gap. The armature
is assembled on quill which is pressed
solidly on the axle. Including the ar
mature, axle and wheels, the dual
weight of the assembled rotating parts
IS less than on many steam locomo-
tlves, and, there being no uncompen-
stated reciprocating parts, rotative bal
ance approaches perfection. The new
electric locomotive will have four pairs
OF motor wheels and two pairs of pony
truck wheels, the length of the total
wheel base being 81 feet and of the rigid
wheel base Is feet. Driving wheels will
be A inches in diameter and the truck
wheels &c inches, with the driving axles
eight and one-half inches. The locomo-
tive will be double ender, obviating the
use of turn-table, and will be provided
with all the usual accessories of steam
locomotive. The interior Of the cab will
also be heated by electric coils. In per-
Torrance the engine is expected to give
better results than any hitherto placed
on rails. With light train the locomo-
tive is expected to give speeds up to Is
miles an hour, and with heavier trains
similar speeds can be attained by coup
ling two locomotives together and work.
Ing them as single unit Its tractive
force will be greater than any passenger
locomotive now in existence, and 1t is
believed that in the simplicity and ac-
feasibility of its parts and in the pro-
vision made in its design to insure con-
tinuous operation with the minimum
chances of failure it marks an entirely
new and successful type Of electric loco
motives.-Chicago Tribune.

Background Of the Universe.

The stellar universe has background
of pearly white. which always fills the
field of telescope with a paint lu-
minosity, and astronomers are guess
ing as to whether this shimmering
shroud is made of quadrillions of suns,
or whether the universe is immersed
IN nebulous matter. The pearly veil is
torn in places, at least 100 jet black
wells Of dark spaces being shown in
the consultations Sagittarius and
scorpio by the 16-inch telescope of the
Lowe observatory. In one of these
dark helds is Antares, which is COM
puted to be about one quadrillion miles
from US. and have $4,000 times the mass
OF our sun, and 1t is suggested that
81 ice over a certain area may have
been cleared of matter in the building
up of this mighty star Other stars are

What's at the North polep

DR.. R. A. Harris. of the coast and

of land, shaped like a trapezoil, may ex-
tend from near the north pole toward
Alaska and eastern Siberia. One COR

Bennett island, another a little west
of north from Point Barrow, third

Land, and the fourth north of Lincoln

secured to the upright bedplate at right
angles. The usual lenses and reflector
are inserted in the primary telescope
at an angle of As degrees. The lower
telescope is also attached to the bed
plate. After the object has been sighted
through the primary telescope it is
again brought within the range of the
lower telescope and conferred, the small
hand wheel on the left being used
for this purpose. The mechanism is
so arranged that the indicator will
move automatically and register the

FOOD coLoRs RAW SILK.
Tests by French Scientists Show
Value Of Method Long known
But Little Used.

Successful experiments in feeding
silk worms on various colored sub
stances SO as to produce colored silk
is reported to the state department by
John G. Covert. United States consul
at Lyon, France.
The purpose of the experiments has
been to discover if possible method OF
affecting silk worms by coloring their
food so that they would make cocoons
yielding colored silk and thus obviata
the necessity of dyeing the silk in the
thread or piece. ~
Consul Covert tells of his visit to the
laboratory Of Messrs. Comte & Levrat.
where the experiments have been car
ried on. He said:
"The gentlemen are engaged merely
in laboratory experiments in field
which has been partially worked for
the last 60 years. The object of their
studies was to discover, if possible.
why some breeds of silkworms produce
white silk, while others produce yellow
or yellowish-green silk. Theis ex-
periments showed them that the natu-
raj coloring matter of the cocoons was
identical with the coloring matter

silk must originate in the chlorophyl

prove that coloring matter intro
duced into the intestines of a worm By
means of food may. under certain con-
ditions, reach the silk through the
blood
Thirty silk worms were divided
into a number of lots, and reared on
small branches. One lot was fed on
leaves dipped in liquids to color them.
Some of the leaves the worms fed
upon were colored slight red, and
the worms ate them as they eat ordi-
nary leaves in natural condition.
They grew and developed as if fed on
common mulberry leaves. The general
color of their bodies became a dark
red, and the blood extracted from them
was of an intense red. When the CO.
coons- were formed a pink silk was
reeled from them. The entire cocoon
was of a beautiful red,'

RAILROAD SAFETY DEVICE
Iowa Man Has Invented an Automatic
Signal That Stops Engine
Without Aid.

Misleading of signals and failure to
execute them are the most potent
causes of accidents on railways, and it
has been the work Of many inventors to
lessen these dangers by introducing au-
tomato signals, which shall relieve the
human mind of the responsibility as far
as possible. Thus the block systems
now show signals which are supposed
to prevent the train next following from
running into the one which has set the
signal. But these signals depend on the
vigilance and action of the engineer.

Soldiers Lost by Sickness.

During the years from 1882 to 1901 the
French army lost $1,000 men by illness,
while in Germany the corresponding tig-
pre- was only $4,000. The cause of tEis
disparity lies largely in the effor to
keep the army Of France, whose ptpu-

Kaomao, taking the glass in both
hands, looked long at her own reflec-
ton, and then she smiled for the first
time in all that month. That night
Umanunu slept profoundly, and in the
morning when she awoke she was
alone in the grass hut under the ban
van tree.
Down on the beach, on the other
side of the hill, Kaomao, gowned in
the clinging white muumuu that Pal
iopaleke loved, was pushing a light
canoe out into the water. The sea
and the sky cleaned like soft gray
pearl. The pearl faded slowly, def
nitely, and grew milky white. The
sky blushed rose and red, and the sea
stole its color. The coral reef flashed
pink, then pearl, then white, and
straight toward the rising disk of the
sun Kaomao pointed the prov of her
canoe. She padded steadily out
through the reef, and as she padded,
she sang. Her voice was softer than
the morning breeze that rustled in the
fringing palms behind the beach. 1t
was sweeter than the tapping water
that crept about the coral reefs. Her
melody rippled gayly with the waves
that caressed her boat, for it's was of
love. of loves triumph. that she sang.
Once she looked back at the land she
was leaving, but only once, and then
she saw the island stretching itself
rosy and flushed with light, up from,
the sea to greet the sun. After that
ono backward glance, Kaomao kept

CITY PROPERTY is SOLD
FOR DELINQUENT TAXES
Pasadena's Auditor Discovers That
Public Buildings Are Disposed
of Through Mistake.

PASADENA, Nov. 1O.-That great
trouble may result from a slight cleri-
cal error was exemplifled here this
week, when it was found that the City
Hall. valued at $4,000. and the Villa
street engine house. worth $4,000, had
been sold for a few dollars delinquent
taxes. The discovery was made by
accident by the City Auditor. The mis-
take was easily explained. City prop
erty is exempt from taxation. Each
year the clerk reports to the county
the list of property owned by the city.
Two years ago this report was made,
but through a slip the ground upon
which the public buildings stand was
listed by the County Assessor to the
former owners from whom the city
purchased, viz. w. w. FORD and Mrs.
G. 1. Ward, who of course did not
know about it. Time passed and the
property was advertised and sold. BY
chance the City Auditor heard about 1t
and recognized the lots as those upon
which the municipal buildings have
been erected. He looked the matter
up, comparing the lots sold with those
upon which the City Hall and engine
house stand, and found that the prop
erty has not belonged 10 Pasadena for
two years according to law. Steps are
now being taken to buy the real Ses-
tate and improvements back. This
may be easily accomplished, of course,
the city simply paying the delinquent
taxes and then applying for a rebate
Of the amount. But had the error been
overlooked for three years more, as
might easily have been the case, then
the mistake could not nave been rec
titled except by the city buying back
it's ownership at whatever price the
owner at that time might ask.

Republicans Claim Rest of State
Ticket In Missouri.

ST. LOUIS. Nov. 1O.-With seven
counties still to be heard from the re-
turns show that Roosevelt's plurality
in Missouri stood at 1915. OF the
seven counties unheard from six went
for Bryan in 1909. They are remote
and sparsely settled.
With the returns from nine counties
missing Folks plurality for Governor
on the Democratic ticket stands at
3A,SS3. Figures on the remainder Of
the Democratic ticket are still missing.
Republican Chairman Neiderhaus con-
cedes that Folk has been elected Gov
ernor, but states that there is not the
least doubt that the remainder of the
Democratic ticket has been defeated.
He said:
1.-THE Republicans will have a ma
jority, in the Legislature on joint bal
lot Of at least fourteen. This means
the election of a Republican United
States Senator. The Republicans have
elected eight Congressman and the Six
