AND TRAIN DIS.
PATCHING,

The subject for discussion at the
Central Electric Railway Association
is Modern Methods of Train Dis
patching. This is fertile topic and
one that should be productive OF in
teresting arguments While the con-
ditions on electric railways vary so
greatly that it hardly would be wise
to adopt, at the present time, a stand.
ard method for dispatching trains,
nevertheless there are essential re-
quirements for good train dispatch
ing system that can wisely be con-
sidered for general adoption. With
the rapid growth OF interurban lines
and the consequent shortening of the
headway, it becomes more and more
desirable to use dispatching system
which includes, as one of its essential
factors, some method for permanently
recording all train orders delivered
to crews. Some roads have, for this
and commercial reasons. entered into
contracts with telegraph companies,
employing operators as station agents
and requiring them to handle the train
dispatching by telegraph. 1t will not
be questioned that the telegraphic
order offers a high degree of accu-
racy; but, differing from the condi-
tons on steam roads, electric trains
run on such short Roadway that the
element Of the delay in running time

a disadvantage that should be con
sidered. Other high speed lines have
adopted a method which provides the
security of the telegraph and yet
saves considerable amount of time
In transmitting orders. This system
includes capying device which me-
chemically deposits in locked re-
ceptacle an exact carbon copy of the
order which is issued and received.
There also is the commendable feat
ure that this duplicate cannot be seen
by the crew. This SYSTEM also as
sures that there shall be available. for
the use of the superintendent alone,
carbon copies of every order issued
by the dispatcher and received by the
crew. together with the proper marks
to identify the man who transmitted
the order over the telephone The
telephone is unquestionably the most
satisfactory medium now available
for transmitting train orders, but its
use requires more than ordinary care
fulness For this reason all Efforts
are to be welcomed that tend toward
the elimination of mistakes due to
lcarelessness in giving or receiving
train orders.

Adulterated Flour.

For the last month the magistrate
OF Condom, Saint Jean dAngelv.
saintes. and Toulouse, France. have
been inquiring into gigantic fraud
which has long been systematically
put into practice by the flour mills
in the Haute Garonne. Gers. Hautes
Pyrenees. Charente, Inferieure, and
Landes. The practice consisted in
mixing tale (silicate Of alum with
flour. it was highly profitable, as
tale is about onesixth the price of
-four. 1t has been discovered that
in less than year the -four mills in
southwest France tabout thirty In
number had received about loo tons
of taic. The go-between of the pro
ducers and bakers was a BANKRUPT
named Camarade, who had established
a tale depot at the village of La Croix
Daurade. outside Toulouse. On Cam
arades premises were seized 5000 LED
tiers containing orders from -four
merchants. some of whom are essab-
lished in Paris. The Toulouse Grain
and Flour syndicate has published IN
indignant protest against these evil
practices. The humor of the situa-
ton is that Camarade declares that
certain similar syndicate (whose
name he does not give) recently oh
tanned delivery Of fourteen tons OF
tale. Tale is poison. It's density
is double that OF -four.

the government archives; but in time
among the common people it degen-
Grated into a barbarous jargon which
led to its final disuse; it is now
practically dead language.
French succeeded Latin as the gen
eral language, but when Francs
ceased to be the leading nation of
Europe its language fell into disre-
pute as universal speech. though it
was retained as a court language and
still remains so in some countries.
England's extended commerce and
Germany's science and philosophy
have brought their languages into
world wide use.
Three decades ago the three world
languages were English, German and
French, each prominent in the order
named. 1t has often been proposed
to select one of these as the great
international language, but as this
would cause i'll feeling among other
nations great and small, who speak and
write the classic languages of the
world and they would never consent
to such an arrangement, the idea must
be abandoned.
1t has also been proposed to model
an international language on the
ancient Greek or Latin But this
would be impracticable these lam
guages not being fitted to express
modern forms of speech The only re-
source is to construct an artificial
language. This idea dates from the
beginning of the seventeenth century
and met the approval of the great
scientists Leibnitz and Descartes. 1t
is stated that sixty of these attempts
have been made in the last two CEN
turtles but no one of them has proved
a success.
OF all these artificial languages Vol
apuk stands first, it having enjoyed
some vogue for a few years. Esper-
anto, Idiom Neutral and Ponroman
have been later attempts to solve this
problem. A writer in the current
North American Review argues that
as each of these attempts has had
its merits, the idea should not be
abandoned, but that to insure its sue
cess government and learned socie-
ties must take it up and it must be
taught in schools and colleges.
The French government some years
ago chose delegation to select the
best features of all the various sys-
tens and from them make UP an in
teresting language; over $50 societies
have already Joined the delegation,
which has just begun to be heard in
the United States and is awakening
some interest.

would handle stock up to one inch in
diameter only, and were used almost
exclusively for making screws They
are made now to handle steel bars up
to six inches in diameter, and are
used for an almost endless variety Of
small parts. Many of these machines
have a magazine attachment, by
means of which castings or small
forg ngs are fed successfully to the
machines. They require no attention
whatever except to keep the maya
zine supplied with material and the
various cutting tools sharp and prop
erly adjusted.
Electric Motor Power Used.
Many machine tools now are
driven by direct connected motors. In
some instances the motor is an int.
grail part of the mach ne; in other
cases an attachment The motors
themselves are arranged to run at
varying speeds.
Machine tools of large size are
constructed to perform certain work
The cost OF such tools is great and
their maintenance constitutes a large
item of expense. The work they
are called upon to do grows constant
ly larger, and it has been found that
many castings formerly handled with
machines are now of such great size
and weight as to make this method of
machining them practically imposs-
ible.
Portable machine tools have been
evolved to handle this class of work.
Travelling cranes pick up the ma
chimes and carry lnem where wanted.
Electric motors are attached to these
portable machines.
America Makes Worlds Tools.
The census department finds that
American made metal working ma

to nearly s4,000,000 in 1904.

use, or because many machines have
become manufacturers, or for all
these reasons combined, the fact
stands out that American tools are
used extensively IN foreign countries,
and that their effectiveness is recog

The chief difficulty in the intro
duction Of American made machines
into foreign shops has been the diff.

that foreign workingmen must be ed.

Compressed Air Vital Force.

Compressed air seems likely to be
used more extensively as machine
tools are developed. The rapidity and
facility with which 1t can be con-
veyed and its small mass make 1t well
adapted for use in metal working ma
chinery. In Iact, the extreme rapidity

ces where uniformity of motion %
