Government Furnishes Strikers.

Naturalization of the Italian rail-
ways has had curious result. The
employees are now under the ban of
the criminal law, and the strikes of
last year by the railway workers have
resulted in the prosecution of 1852
railway men at Turin for participation
in the big general strike of last year.
They are being tried in patches of 30
each in the Turin law courts, and five
days in each legal week are assigned
for the trials until the whole of the
cases are disposed of. 1t is reported
that similar trials on a smaller scale
are taking place at Rome, Milan,
Bologna and other centers involved in
the general strike. The lowest penal.
ty yet inflicted has been a fine of 16

LIGHT WITHOUT HEAT.

Living lamps from luminous bac-
terra are shedding light on certain
sciences. Prof. H. Morlisch Of
Prague has experimental especially
with the commonest variety, the bac-
terium phosphoreum, and with them
has succeeded in making a lamp
which furnishes enough light for pho
tographic purposes, its rays also at
tracing terminating plants.
The professor has shown that the
luminosity of living organisms is a
chemical presses giving rise to the
formation of substance in the in
terror cells which in the presence Of
free oxygen and water becomes lum-
inous. This he has tentatively call
ed "photogen."
Prof. Morlisch has succeeded pre-
pairing with a glass flask filled with
gelatin that has been vaccinated with
a colony of these bacteria a perpet-
ual lamp. It's light intensity is less
than that of candle, but it suffices
Aoi pholoSldpulC purposes, anu IL is
capable Of inducing terminating
plants like peas or lentils to turn to-
ward it as source of light energy.
The most striking feature of the
light is the total absence Of heat rays.
Thus the bacteria solve a problem
which is the despair of engineers and
which is to convert energy into light
| without loss due to heat.

For Preservation Of Ties,

The Pennsylvania Railroad Company
in awarding a contract for the cree.
ton at Mount Union, Pa, of a plant for
the treatment of timber by any stand
ard process, has taken the initial step
toward the preservation of it's cross
ties and other timber. In connection
with the plant two creosote storage
tanks of 100000 gallons capacity each
are to be erected at Greenwich Point,
Philadelphia. These tanks will have
combined capacity sufficient to re-
ceive a tank steamer cargo of oil, that
will be shipped to Mount Union in
tank cars as needed. The treating
plant will have a capacity of from
800 to 1000 ties a day, if day and
night shifts of hands are worked. This
will give an annual output of about
500, 900 ties.

out of consideration. English en-.
gineers, however, need not be pitied,
as absence of headlights involves Ger
lain advantages.
The colors of signal and switch
lights in England are not affected by
the feeble signal-light on the engine
falling upon them. There is no daz.
cling or binding effect produced upon
the crew of either train when two
trains pass. In this country, where
conditions are very different, the
problem of proper track illumination
is one which has to be solved. The
increase of traffic and the high speed
of trains, the introduction of block
signals, the train-signal system, and
the presence of level crossings make
the solution of the problem for Amer.
lean railroads one in which all the
conditions must be fully considered
and adequately dealt with, and the re.
suit may have to be something in the
nature of a compromise.
In brief, we may say, some of the
principal requirements of locomotive
headlight are that the light from it
shall be powerful enough to illuminate
the track far enough ahead to permit
of an emergency stop; that the light
shall not be so brilliant as to cause
temporary blindness or bewilderr1ent
in those upon whom it falls; that in
the matter of signal observance it
must not alter or modify the colors of
the lesser lights which come into its
field, and that it shall be as effective
form of light as can be devised for
toggy or snowy weather.
Among the various sources of lights
available for headlights the use of
acetylene gas seems to have several
points which are worth considering.
A storage system Of dissolved acety-
lene is now being used in locomotive
work by several railroads, with very
satisfactory results. The acetylene
flame is much more powerful as a
source of light than that from oil, and
its greater power extends the range of
vision of the engineer without seri.
ously inconveniencing those on a train
moving in the opposite direction, and
without bewildering those who come
within the beam. The quality of the
light, or, one may say, it's approxima-
ton to sunlight, is such that it does
not fade out or modify the colored
lights upon which it falls, and it's fog.
piercing qualities have brought it to
the attention of the maritime world,
and the production of acetylene gas
by the process now in vogue has
brought it's cost down to very satisfac-
tory figures. The whole headlight
question has aroused a great deal of
interest in this country and in Canada,
and it is certain that the possibilities
of acetylene gas in this connection are
well worthy of serious consideration.

ing of Western Canada's grain yield
for 1908, and the reports make very
interesting reading. In the three prov.
inces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and
Alberta, which comprise what may be
known as Central Canada, there was a
total wheat yield of about 107,000,000
bushels, worth to the farmer about
$S5,000,000; in addition to this the oat,
barley and flax crops were worth an.
other $35,O0O,OO0. Letters have been
received from many of the settlers
from the United States. From these,

selected. He lives in the vicinity OF

Every line of the letter is interesting.

to how to secure homesteads and pre-.
