The worlds Most Powerful Light.

The light of the 100000 candles
will be attached to the tower of the
new Laekawanna station at Hoboken.
N. J., and will rate as no less than
million and half candle power.
The most striking feature of the ex-
terror lighting, and one which viii
make this tower the most conspicuous
object at night on the entire North
river water front, will be cluster
Of fortynine flaming arc lamps, which
will be arranged in series within a sin
gle globe six feet in diameter, each
arc consuming sixteen amperes at
23O0 volts. It Is estimated that can
die power Of 100000 will eb reached.
This will unuuestionably be the most
powerful light ever produced from a
single fixture. The globe win be sus-
pended from the upper part Of the
tower. Besides being the most Inn
pressive spectacle this experiment
will prove of no little commercial val
ne in demonstrating the possibility OF
lighting large open spaces with ex-
ceedingly high candle power units
placed at proportionately great dis
tanee above the illuminated surface.

that some contrivance be proVloed
them for protecting the hands
against mortar and the sharp edges
Of bricks. A Florida man has arisen
to the occasion and designed the
ebricklayers' mitt," as he calls lt'
shown here. 1t comprises a leather
band which encircles the wrist
straps extending from this band to
thimbies, or finger protectors. A
band also extends around the hand
forward of the thumb, affording pro-
lection to the knuckles and palm OF
the hand. The bricklayer in using
this mitt will have the free use OF
the fingers and hand at all times,
the open spaces providing sufficient
ventilation. Washington Star.

The Massachusetts, automobile
traffic is so heavy, the Scientific Amer
lean learns, that it has caused marked
wear on the State highways, and the
commission having charge of these
roads states in its last annual report
that the destructive effect is "extraor-
dinary." Practically all the main
roads are thus affected. 1t has been
noticed that the binder is swept from
the road, and the stone from one
half to one and one-half inch in size
has been disturbed, in some cases
standing on the surface, and in other
cases being left in windrows along
the roadside. The effect of wear Of
this sort Is such that the commission
is satisfied a material change in the
methods of maintaining stone roads
must be made. The report indicates
that the commission believes some
kind of treatment with tar will prob
ably be successful.

The time is ripe for urging the in
crease of our forest reserves, not only
by the Federal Government, but by
she States as WELL New York, for
instance, insists the New York Even
ing Post, ought to assume jurisdic-
tion over the Lake George noun
tains and shores. That region is
practically useless for farming pur-
noses, but for forestry is of greater
value than the newly proposed Hud-
son River park. In Michigan, be-
ginning has been made in the work
of preserving some timber lands by
the appointment of commission of
nine to investigate the whole matter
and report to the Governor. But
before the nation as whole the all
important matter is the creation of a
national forest reserve in the Appa-
lachian and White Mountains,
