AURORA

Aurora is the goddess of Dawn.
Every morning long before the
sleepy boys and girls are awake,
she rides through the heavens in
her flaming chariot to the palace
of the Sun. There she gently raises
the curtains from the windows
and out shines the rosy morn and
the glorious sunbeams.
Aurora once had very strong
and brave son called Memnon. He
went away to fight in the great
war of Troy. He was killed by
Achilles.
When Aurora heard the sad
news she fled from the heavens
and wept bitterly. When she fled
the skies became very dark and
her tears fell down upon the earth.
Even up to this time she flies
away every evening. The skies
grow black and We have dark
nights.
Aurora still weeps. Sometimes
early in the morning we see her
teardrops shining upon the grass.
Many people call them dewdrops,
but they are really Aurora's tears

STEAM AND ELECTRICITY.
Traction Problems RAILROAD ManRR-
ers Are Trying TO Solve.

Brooklyn Eagle.
According to the Electrical Review and
the Western Electrician, the great rail-
roads OF the country face a serious situa-
ton. sooner or later they must make a
decision as to what ~propulsive power they
will use-steam or electricity. The asser-
ton is that a stage has been reached be-
yond which a step cannot be taken without
the expenditure OF vast sums.
The limit of development In steam trac-
ton power, under present conditions, has
been reached. Longer freight trains can
not be used unless the traction power of
locomotives can be increased. That cannot
be done unless the locomotives can be
heightened. For this, scientific reasons
are given as to the weight and where It
shall rest-reasons the railroad operators
do not dispute, but understand. Indeed, IT
is admitted that in the effort for economy
in operation the locomotives have been
heightened as much as is desirable in view
OF the existing curves on the lines. To
give greater length is to ask for the elm
ination of the curves. To do that is TO
ask for reconstruction of the line. In
crease OF weight means increase In the
force Of the impact of a running train, So,
strengthening OF bridges follows as a CON
boQhchCCl dhu mat means reconstruction
OF bridges and abutments. Widening of
the gauge Of the tracks might meet the
situation, but then that is reconstruction
throughout.
To what extent the weight of locomotives
has been increased is seen in this com
~parison: In 1895 the weight OF locomotives
was about ten tons; since 1894, locomotives
OF a weight of over 100 tons nave been
put in operation. The latter weight is ad-
mitted to be the limit. So the stage is
reached when, II any advance in the use
OF steam be made, the roads must be re-
constructed. That means the expenditure
OF hundreds OF millions.
on the other hand are the electric motors.
These motors Of the same weight as the
steam locomotives will exert from 10 TO 100
per cent more traction power. 1t follows,
then, that motors of a lesser weight than
locomotives could be operated with salts
factory results under present conditions of
tracks, bridges and roadbed. In this view,
It would seem to be wiser and more eco
nomical to adopt electricity as a propulsive
power. But other considerations enter. To
do so would be to engage In a revolution.
Steam locomotives, in which much capital
is invested, must be abandoned. Expensive
motors must be built to a k their places.
Expense in electrical superstructure and in
power houses in which to generate electric
ity must be undertaken.
There are yet other considerations Ar
agent OF propulsion. TO the use Of which
trained corps are accustomed and to which
administrative departments are attuned,
must be eliminated. a power must be EN-
ployed which, in it's development, is In the
days OF It's infancy. and there must be a
thorough readjustment OF all the depart
ments 10 new conditions and new innu-
ences. This is a situation the railroad op-
orators face, and in which the travelling
public and the commercial public are
equally interested.

60 through the travail OF tariff revision
is suggested in an indirect reference
t. the progress OF the tariff bill in the
current Esview OF Reviews. The edi-
tor of the Review, DR.. Albert shaw,
thinks that the whole system of tariff
building should be changed and that
with the present method the only
thing that can be accomplished will be
to take the Payne tariff bill as a basis
and secure improvements in matters Of
detail, For the future heithinks con-
gress should provide for "a good kind
Of tariff commission, " and adds: IAN
able and impartial commission with
due industry ought to help us bring
about a thorough-going revision of the
tariff in about the year 1917"
Every revision OF the tariff is so un-
settling to business and entails so
much Industrial readjustment hat II
goes without saying that continuous
tariff tinkering would be worse than
submission to ordinary inequalities,
No tariff is possible that will satisfy
everybody, but a tariff should be made
to meet conditions fairly as they exist
at the moment rather than to forerun
conditions yet to develop. II it we're
possible to secure a reasonably salts
factory law now with the additional
assurance that, barring unforeseen
emergencies and the correction Of pal
pable mistakes, the next revision
would not take place before 1917 and
that It would then take into account
results of a careful study of our entire
Industrial situation by a commission
of unbiased experts, the country would
without question settle down to an un-
~precedented and uninterrupted era Of
commercial enterprise and business
expansion.

Reinsurance for Japan.

AS honor guests at a banquet at the
Annapolis Naval academy, President
Taft and Admiral Uriu of Japan had
occasion to speak each as the official
representative of his government, so
that their expressions are entitled to
more weight even than if given in
formally. President Taft makes it
plain in the first place hat Uncle Sam
Is not going around with a chip on his
shoulder inviting a conflict with any
other nation, but, on the contrary,
desires to live in amity with all the
world. OF Japan he spoke with a wide
knowledge Of its people and govern
ment, complimenting both highly and
expressing both the hope and the be-
lief that there would always be hsr-
mony and good feeling. The Japanese
admiral echoed the sentiment Of the
president and bore testimony 1t was
that of his people.
A certain amount of friction be-
tween nations coming into intimate
contact is to be expected, just as with
individuals having interests which do
not always harmonize. 1t does not
necessarily follow. however, that in
temperate strife must constantly re-
suit. People who seek to c~onjure up
a war scare between this country and
Japan fail to take this into account.
Those responsible for the destinies OF
both nations appreciate It fully, how
ever, and realize also that both have
more to lose than to gain by discord.
This is the best assurance of continued
peaceful relations.
