The Gold in the Ruby Glass.

Genuine ruby glass is expensive be-
cause it is prepared with gold. It
owes it's color to the presence
throughout its mass of particles of
gold TOO small to be seen with the
microscope.
Only the ultramicroscope, which
renders visible objects perceptible by
means Of their diffusion of light is
able to show the existence Of these
minute particles. With the ordinary
microscope the glass appears as uni
form transparent mass, but the ultra
microscope shows that it is filled with
points of light resembling stars on a
black background. These points indi-
cate the presence of the particles Of
gold to which color Of the glass is due.

RAILROADS IN PREVENTING
PROPERTY DESTRUCTION
Report BY Julius kruttschnitt Of sys
tenn Employed On All Hartman
Lines Of Determining mi Publish.
Ing Causes Of Observation-Disclosures
News Of General Interest.

Publicity is credited with having de-
creased accidents on the Hartman
system between 20 and SO Q cent
during the past three years. This re
suit is indicated by a report which has
been made by J. Kruttschnitt, director
Of maintenance and operation, to Pres
ident Edward H. Hartman, Of a move,
plan which has been tired out on that
system Of roads. Besides decreasing
accidents publicity has served, it is
stated, to improve discipline and in
crease efficiency and 1t has also pro-
tected the roads against newspaper
misrepresentation and hostility on the
part OF communities.
Hartman Lines Use It.
When the plan of giving the fullest
publicity to a wreck was first preached
by Mr.. Kruttschnitt it received a cold
bath on all sides. Finally he succeed
ed in getting it tried on the Union
Pacific, and now all of the Hartman
lines are using 1t. The new method de.
ponds for its success upon speedily
finding out the cause of the accident,
placing the blame where it belongs
and then letting the public know all
the newspapers care to tell about it.
Ascertainino the Cause.
When an accident occurs on any of
the Hartman roads the superintend-
emit, master mechanic and engineer of
the division go out to the scene of the
wreck and organize a board Of inquiry,
composed of themselves and one or
more OF the leading citizens Of the
community. II this board fails to as
certain the cause of the accident, a
second board is formed of the general
superintendent, superintendent of mo-
tive power, engineer of maintenance Of
way and one or more citizens OF the
Community. Should this board in turn
fail, then a third board Is formed with
the general manager at Its head. In
only m instance has the general man.
ager thus been called upon since the
plan was adopted.
