TWenty-siX of the most modern
type of locomotive, a part of the
1876 ordered a year ago by the Har-
riman lines, are now being delivered
to the Southern Pacific company and
within another two weeks will be
placed in operation over the heavy
Sierra Nevada and Tehachapi noun
tain grades.
The Pacific system of the South
ern Pacific company is to have 65
of these new iron monsters. Thirty
eight of them are to be used on
that part of the system under the
jurisdiction of f. e. Calvin, vice.
president and general manager, with
offices in San Francisco. Calvin s
jurisdiction extends west from
Sparks, Nevada, to San Francisco
north to Ashland, Oregon and south
to Ell Paso, Texas.
These engines mean to the snip
ping and travelling public thousands
of dollars. They will expedite the
transportation of fruit to all parts
of the country saving much moneR
to the grower and shipper by max
ing deliveries in perfect condition
and securing for the producer top
prices. Several hours consumed in
travelling over these heavy mountain
grades will be cut from the pas
senger schedules of the company
by the new large and modern pas
senger engines that are to be placed
in service
OF the thirty-eight locomotives to
be operated on the Pacific system
twelve are of the Mallet consolid-
ated type and nine are switch en-
gines. The five of the American
type have already been received
and set up in the Sacramento shops
of the company. They have been
in operation for about three weeks.
Nine of the Mallet consolidated To-
comotives have already been de-
livered at the shops of the Bald
win locomotive works at Philadel-
phia, and will probably arrive at
Sacramento within a week The nine
switch engines are also on their
way westward. The Mallet Moguls,
which are a new type of engine for
the Southern Pacific company, have
not yet been delivered.
'All of these new locomotives are
equipped with fuel oil burners. The
Mallet consolidated locomotives are
known as the quadruple compound
Mallet type, and are practically two
complete engines in one. The cab
is located in front of the locomo-
tive thus protecting the engineer
and firemen from smoke in pass
ing through tunnels and prevent
ing the obstructionof the view in
rounding sharp curves.
These engines have sixteen huge
drive wheels and are capable of
hauling a 160O-ton train over the
Sierra Nevada and Tehachapi grades,
three ordinary locomotives being re-
quired to perform similar service
heretofore.
The Mallet Mogul locomotives are
similar in construction to the NAL

LIGHT AS BARRIER TO EELs.

The Danish government has begun an interesting effort to aid the fish, ermen of the Baltic by preventing the migration of cells from that sea into the ocean. The means employed is "barrier of light" formed by placing fifty electric lamps along a submerged cable between the island of Fano and the coast of Funen. The effectiveness of such a barrier depends upon the fact that the eels migrate only during the dark hours. Accordingly as soon as darkness be- gins, in the season of migration, the lamps are illuminated, and thus wall of light is interposed from which the cells recoil A similar prin- eiple is said to have been employed from time immemorial by fishermen on certain parts of the coast of Italy.

 HELPING SPINNING WOMEN.


 Mrs. Jessie D. Holder has been appointed superintendent of ths Massachusetts Reformatory for Women. She has had considerable experience in caring for the feeble minded and has studied the subject of erring girls thoroughly. One of her theories Is that the mother should be allowed to keep the ille- gitimate child, and that in caring for it she will become bigger and brayer woman. She believes that the man will also be helped if he can be brought to take an interest in this illegitimate child.

To the Editor Of The Times: The

against the pollution and degradation
OF one OF the most important depart
