TAKE SCRIP; ASKS DAMAGES

A conductor on Los Angeles rail-
way car refused to accept scrip in pay
ment of fare on December 8, according
to a complaint filed In the superior
court yesterday by C. P. Ross, who
says the car was stopped and he was
forcibly elected.
Ross boarded the car at Eastlake
avenue and Main street, intending to
go to Second street. He says he Of
fered Sc in scrip to the conductor, that
being the smallest change he had.
The conductor refused to take the
money, stopped the car and, accord
ing to Ross story, when he refused to
get off he was forcibly pushed back

NO DANGER
AT CROSSINGS
AIR WHISTLES USED AT REAR OF
SWITCHING TRAINS
RAILWAY SEEKS TO PREVENT
ACCIDENTS
Device Can Be Heard Great Distance
Even Amid Roar of Traffic.
"Team Tracks" to
Save Hauling

New measures for prevention of ac-
cidents, especially at street crossings
have been adopted by the Southern "a
eific in Los Angeles.
The air whistle, as 1t is called, is
used for the rear of trains which are
being backed empty through the city
preparatory to making up trains.
Heretofore, the engine being at the
end of long train of ''empties," which
it was backing over street crossings
through town, could not be heard when
its bell was rung at the distance Oh
fifteen cars or so away from the cross
ing.
Now one of the trainmen sits on the
rear platform of the first car-the one
farthest from the switch engine-and
attaches the air whistle to the END OF
the air brake tubing under the car.
The whistle is an iron affair about
six feet long. BY means OF a spring
easily handled, it let's the compressed
air used for the breaks through It's
entire length, causing a shril, piercing
blast, which can be heard over tine
noise and disturbance of traf1ic. .,, Inns
whistle is especially valuable at pllnu
crossings where high buildings smut
off the view of the tracks.
They aid the flagmen materially, ana
also help the general public, for the
shrilI note of this whistle is piercing
and cuts through the heavy roar OF
traffic as a knife cuts cheese.
To Install "Team Tracks"
Team tracks," as they are called,
are to be installed by the Southern Pa
cific near Eighth and Alameda streets.
The heavy hauling of cement, hay,
ETC., from cars along there will be
cut down to about one-half, it is
claimed, when these team tracks are
put in. These are in the nature of a
siding, and will make the work of
hauling much shorter for the grain
markets, the foundries and other
places where heavy freight is hauled
every day from the railroad.

PLAINTIFF ARRESTED
ON PERJURY CHARGE
Man Who Sued Couple for Payment
of Note Is Held by Justice
Under Five Hundred
Dollars Bonds

A plaintiff became defendant yester-
day in Justice Stephens court when
information was filed charging M. j.
Ryan with perjury.
Ryan some days ago filed suit to re-
cover on a note purporting to have
been signed by Mallory Mitchell and
Anne Mitchell and drawn in favor of
Ryan.
THE Justice postponed the hearing
until further investigation could be
made, and as a result Ryan was ar
rested charged with perjury, 1t being
claimed the note was a forgery.
Ryan was released on $500 bonds.

Causes of Exquisite color'ns

The causes of the exquisite richness
and variety of coloring seen in glaciers
and glacial lakes which cannot be
reproduced in a colored photograph and
which eludes the brush of the most
skilled artist, are considered as con-
clusion to DIR. Sherzer's memoir He
tried, by mixing solutions of copper
and nickel sulphate with pure water to
reproduce the blue-green of Lake
Louise. the green of Emerald lake, and
the intense blue of Moraine lake From
experiments he observed that the col
ors with the longer wave-lengths, as
yellow, orange, and red are absorbed
If PASSED through water of sufficient
thickness.
While of the colors at the other end
of the spectrum. with the short wave
lengths, blue is the one which water is
chiefly able to transmit, violet and
green being also transmitted, but less
perfectly. Bodies of pure water of a
volume sufficient to absorb the longer
waves of light reflected from the bot
tom. but not so deep as to absorb all,
will appear blue. This blue is not re-
f1ected from the sky, although the con-
dition of the sky will affect the tint
Water in the form of ice possesses still
the same power to transmit the colors
with the shorter wave-lengths. violet,
indigo, blue and green, with the prefer
ence for blue.
If a mixture of these four colors or
of all the others which compound
white light, be passed through block
of pure ice of sufficient thickness, none
but the blue will emerge. If no light
whatever is being transmitted through
either ice or water, it will look black,
or will show whatever color of light is
being reflected from its surface"
O; course, in the form of foam or
snow. where many tiny surfaces act
as rehectors, all colors are seen, and
glacial drainage streams, loaded with
sediment, generally appear a milky,
creamy white or dirty gray. But the
elsciai lakes. deep and clear, maintain
rich natural. blue, which shales into
green only as foreign matter finds its
way down from the lofty peaks.

gonal system of minerals, and in guam
tity, has a rich blue color, by trans
mitted light. Considering the hexa-
gonal shape of the ice granules, the
glacier can flow in many directions
without breaking the crystals ana
upon this DR.. Sherzer bases his con-
illusions as to the movement of the
glaciers. He says that under certain
conditions and within certain limits Ice
is capable of behaving as plastic
body, that is, capable of yielding con-
tinuously to stress, without rupture,
but 1.-The Elasticity of ice, crystalline
substance, must be thought of as es-
sentially different from that mani
tested by such amorphous substances
as WAX or asphaltum."

Complete surveys were obtained OF
each glacier from the high neve fields,
where the snow, avalanched two
thousand feet from the mountain
peaks, first begins to compress into
glacial ice, along the compact mass
itself, several miles to the rounded
nose, and it's drainage stream running
down usually to a lake and then off in
a river. The term lice waves" seems
a strange one, yet that is a correct de-
scription for the rolling masses of Ice
that take from thirty-six to forty
years for a complete oscillation.
Data interesting to biologists were
obtained in regard to the flowing of
one ice river into another. Likewise
the significance of bands of dirt across
the ice face and of zones and stripes
less regular in their formation was
worked out. The twistings and turn
ings of the ice strata, the intrusion OF
dykes, the making of crevasses and
many other phenomena, in some cases
very similar to the action of the
earth's crust itself, were recorded and
studied.

Some horses have the trick of roll

vented by running strap from ring
fastened to the overhead strap of the
halter to a ring in the ceiling just
back of the manger. The strap is run

taking up the slack as the horse

NEW FABRIC FOR SKIRTS.
Popinette Largely Takes Place of
Linen and Linen Duck.

There is fabric called poplinette
by some, and cottonette by others,
which has to some extent taken the
place of all linen and linen duck for
wash skirts.
1t has fine cord in 1t that reminds
one of pique, but it is not nearly so
heavy and unwieldy 1t is cheaper than
most of the fabrics for wash white
skirts, and it serves two seasons Of
constant tubing.
1t is not expensive. 1t is made up
by the popular ten-gored circular model
buttoned straight down the front.
Women who do not wish to go to the
trouble of pressing white linen skirt
after every wearing are quite delight
ed with this good-looking cotton fabric
that does not easily crush
1t is also being used for children's
everyday slips. 1t makes excellent
blouse suits for small boys The model
Is the envelope one now popular for a
good many garments.
This buttons down each shoulder,
and nowhere else. 1t has a plat down
the center, back and front and the
under arm seams are almost straight
For little girls slips it is made up in
the same fashion, but cut out AT the
neck.
At the edges there are bands of fine
ly figured chintz or calico.
