Railroad Notes.

Two twin-screw double-decked fer
ryboats will be added to the Lacka-
wanna Railroads fleet in the fall and
win be put on the Christopher street
line in place of the single-deck boats
Lackawanna and Hoboken, which have
not been in use by the company for
some time, except in case of an emer-
gency. The doube-decked boats are
at present in use on the ferry running
between Washington and Alexandria,
Va. This ferry cannot support the
double-deckers, which are modern and
up-to-date in every way, except that
they are ten feet shorter than the
boats in use or the Barclay street line
and cannot attain quite as high a rate
of speed

MIX Fever Prevention.

Experiments in the feeding Of car
rots, beets and small potatoes to cows
show that milk fever is less liable to
occur when cows are fed literally on
root crops than when they are CON
fined to hay and grain. No corn should
be given six weeks before calving.
Linseed meal may be allowed with the
hay. which should be cut fine and the
llnseed meal sprinkled over it.

The new huge gasoline locomotive
which H. P Hall has been building
for the Morris County Traction Com
pany since the latter part of July,
1906, is now completed, as far as the
machinery is concerned, and the. loco
motive was run to the car barns where
the frame covering is to be built. The
engine is of eighty horse power and
the locomotive can run twenty miles
per hour. 1t is the intention of the
company to use the locomotive in
hauling stone carrying cars and to
run over sections of road where wires
have not been strung. 1t can also be
used in case the wires or the present
means of furnishing power ever fail az
any time.

been undertaken by Joseph Crixell
of this city, and the enterprise will
doubtless prove a success from the
start. About twenty first class

CriNAll is not only an excellent
musician himself, but has also had
considerable experience as a band
leader; having travelled over large

quite a reputation. His ability and
experience give promise of success
for the new Brownsville organiza-
ton, and our citizens shout en-

LIGHT FROM SUGAR.

A phenomenon, the cause of which has not yet been satisfactorily explained, was recently observed by government scientist during the course of certain experiments.
 Disks of loaf sugar were mounted on lathe and rapidly rotated while a hammer played lightly against them. An almost continuous radia- tion of light was thus produced from the sugar. It was shown that the light did not arise from heating of the sugar, and it is believed to have been caused by some change taking place in the sugar crystals The act Of specialization is known to be sometimes accompanied by flashes of light. The practical bear ing of these experiments is on the question of the possibility of obtain ing artificial light by methods as yet untried.

HOW ENGLISHMEN WASTE COAL.

That open grate is mere farce when the real cold comes, says Mod ern Society. If you sit very close to it you may get each part of your body warm in succession, though the only real way to comfort would be to hang yourself on roasting jack and twirl. Even then the halls and passages, to say nothing of the other end of the room, are arctic We waste hundreds of thousands a year on coal which does not warm us just because, with that stohd English conservatism, we think the coal fire in the open grate so good to look at. It is. For ourselves we would always like a coal fire to look at, to poke, to talk to. But not for the purpose of warming a house. If we are hungry it is not enough to look at a meal and if We are cold it is not enough to gaze in admiration on a fire that is only warming the chimney.
