 A singular device for the protection of railway trains crossing a viaduct exposed to heavy winds has recently been employed at Diversion, England, says Prof. R. Dec. Ward In Science
 It consists of a wind-gage fixed at the west end of the Levens yiaduct When the wind-pressure reaches 32 pounds to the square foot. an electric contact Is made automatically. and bells ring in the signal cabins on each side of the viaduct Upon this, all trains are detained until the force of the wind abates. The interruption Is telegraph ed along the line. In February, 1907, wind velocity of 65 miles :; n hour was recorded. The danger of very high winds to trains on an exposed bridge or viaduct was traglcally illus trated many years ago by the lament able Tay Bridge disaster In Scotland

According to the Washington Post the call for fiction In the public libra ries of the capital has fallen of 65 per cent. The newspaper says that this decrease has been noted in many other cities Novel reading has gone through a great period of dissipation. It look ed for time as If public libraries were endowed and maintained for no other purpose than to supply fiction, the greater part of 1t worse than useless. It was discouraging to those who wish ed to see a marked improvement in the average of Intellectually because of the spread of libraries. But the tide has turned and heaven be praised for that. The quality of the greater part of the fiction which has been coming from the presses of the publishers in the last few years has been markedly inferior Novel readers became Cham berlzed MacGrathicized and McCutch- eonated until life Itself, to many, was a cross between cake walk and scene In the boudoir of her grace, the Princess Of Wurtenberg, or other. A lot of the stuff which was advertised as hlstorical-always clever in any case-had about as much history in It as one of Grimms. And the rest of 1t was the froth of soapbark and wind which druggists sell In glasses. If there Is a reaction 1t Is a thing to be blessed. Reading fiction of the type which usually wears a red binding Is often very restful. If one cannot be amused by the characters there Is at least amusement in wondering at the author who could write such drtvel. But continued absorption of modern much candy. It Is bound to sicken in time A demand for material more se
 rlous Is in line with the more serious thought of Americans. Nearly every one is coming to have special interest along certain lines and there Is a need of literature which delivers informa- ton succinctly and clearly. The pub lie libraries must supply the more ex- pensive and elaborate works which readers cannot themselves afford to purchase. When the bottom drops out of the Harold School of Fiction. there will be still room for the good and worthy style of noyel-more room. per haps. Then the libraries can use the d!scards for the purpose nature intend cd them-starting the furnace fires.

he must build another factory in Great Britain, and there make a portion of his product. The inference Is, of course, that the wages in that factory will go to Englishmen. It is not difficult to see and sympathize with the British point of view. A patent Is, of course, a legalized monopoly. The number of patents annually granted by Great Britain to foreigners is somewhat greater than the number of those granted to British citizens. Each pat ent not only confers a benefit on the owner of 1t, but by virtue of Its being a monopoly It depriyes others of that benefit. Moreover. many patents in America are used only as clubs. They are not operated. but serve merely to hold a special field away from compet- itors. Both France and Germany pro tect their citizens from this evil. In France a patent must be worked in two years, and In Germany In three years. It has seemed reasonable to Englishmen that their own people should share more largely than they have done In the benefits which pat ents confer. The importance of the change may be judged by the estimate of the head of a prominent firm of British ship-builders that one hundred and twenty-five million dollars will be invested In Great Britain for the man. ufacture of articles heretofore made abroad About eight thousand patents come under the new law.

On both sides of the Atlantic the
 new patent law which has gone into effect in Great Britain, after the ex- piration of the year of grace, is re- garded as of great industrial and com mercial importance. Stripped of details, the new law provides that henceforth all foreign patents in Great Britain may be revoked, after a reasonable time, unless the patented article Is manufactured or the patented process operated in the United Kingdom to an adequate extent It will be seen at once that this change Is most radical. Heretofore the manufacturer, let us say, of an American harvesting ma chine, has been allowed to make 1t in the United States and send 1t over and sell 1t in England.

Protests were made by regular members of various professions, complaining of the unfair competition of the "sundowners," who cut prices.

sUPPoSES SUN IS CoLoRED.
Astronomer Tells How It Would
 Change the Aspects of Nature.

A German astronomer has recently published some interesting observations on the theoretical effects of a change in the color of the sun. It Is amusing to consider the possibilities if the sun were green, blue or red instead of what it is. If 1t were blue there would be only two colors in the world-blue and black. If 1t were red then everything would be red or black. If 1t were wei low everything would be yellow or black. Everyone knows that the light of the sun consists of six colors. and

the reason things are different hues is that some swallow up five of the colors and reflect only one. Thus primroses are yellow because they absorb all but the yellow. roses red because they ab sorb all but the red. yioletS purple be cause they absorb everything but red and blue, a mixture of which two col ors forms purple.
 In the event of the sun being red roses, blood, red ink and all other things that are now red would reflect It. So also would snow, the lily and all things that are now white. but these would, of course, be red. Everything else would swallow up the red light and appear quite black. Grass, for instance, would be black as ink, and so would the blue of the sky, but the white clouds would be red. The same kind of thing would happen If the sun were blue. Everything now blue or white would be blue. The grass this time would be blue, not black, for it reflects both blue and yellow. Hair would be all black. the red of the lips would be black and the rest of the face would be cloudy blue.
 If the sun were green there would be a little variety. Things that are now yellow would still be yellow, things that are blue would be blue and things that are green would still be green. but there would be no reds, purples, orange pinks or any of those cheery hues that make the world look so bright.
