FEAT IN RAILROAD LIGHTING.

English Limo Tests New Syxtem
Which Greatly Reduces Cost.
A new and interesting engineering
test and one Of considerable value to
railway companies and Of great com
nlercial possibilities has been made on
the Great Eastern Railway of Great
Britain, says the New York Tribune.
It was to demonstrate the value Of a
new system of lighting railway trains,
which is known as the LeitnerLucas
system.
The dynamOs were entirely sealed
up that is, the Oil wells, brush and
reversing gear. The automatic cutouts
were similarly placed under seal, us
we'll as the storage battery, the seal
ing being done by the railway com-
ment or repairs could be made, no oil
added to the we'll or any part Of the
machinery and no water or acids added
to tie batteries. Mr.. Leitner's claim
would light the carriages designated
during the time they would cover a
distance exceeding the circumference
of the earth at the equator and during
the most exacting period of the year,
from October to the end Of December.
On Jan. l the distance agreed on
had been exceeded, the two coaches
used for the test on arriving at Pad
dington from Cornwall having covered
25,2OO miles. The light had not failed
on any occasion, the illumination be-
ing as bright ON the last journey as on
the first. The lights were kept sup
piled with an electric current at a
practically constant voltage, running or
standing. The seals were taken of,
and it was found that though the dyna-
mos had not had drop of oil, nor
the accumulators drop of water or
acid, they were in first rate condition,
and could have gone on for another
month or more, still under seal, and
supplied good and sufficient light.
The result of this test in q CONNER.
cial point Of view is that during twelve
weeks and for distance of 1920
miles, coaches were effectually and
even luxuriantly lighted, practically
without any human attendance at all,
and without renewals, requirements or
repairs-in other words, without any
cost, except for more coal, theoretically
consumed on the locomotive, which Is

writes Claude II. Miller in Farming.
They really possess little value as
milk producers because what is gained
on milk Is lost On fleece. Milking keeps
the goats from growing and if they are
worth having at all their mohair will
produce more annually than their milk.

Seed Corn Breeding Pays.

Corn-breeding work, still in Its In
fancy, already has spelled profit for
many growers. Material increases in
yield, due In large measure to plant
ing improved tested seed, have been so
general that farmers everywhere are
adopting better methods Of seed selec-
ton. And other countries, noting what
has been accomplished by American
corn breeders, have taken steps to fol-
low their example. Recently an Ameri-
can seed-corn breeding company ship
ped 1900 bushels of corn to the agri-
cultural department of the Egyptian
government. The same company has
also exported an order Of 10000 pounds
of seed corn to Australia, where it will
be used in breeding work conducted by
the agricultural authorities Of that
country. 1t is to the corn belt Of
America that the peoples Of the earth
come for corn. Our corn crop is the
envy Of all civilized countries which
cannot Or do not grow corn.
