WRIGGLING SIGNS,

How the Movable Effect Is Obtained
In Electrical Designs.
A great many electric signs are Of
the moving type. Walk down most
any city street after dark and you
will see many illuminated signs Of
novel and interesting design. Here a
long red and blue snake seems to be
wiggling from the street to the top Of
a building. On the other side wheel
is rapidly revolving, below it yellow
smoke Is issuing in clouds from huge
brown cigar. There Is also a large
theater sign which suddenly flashes
into view. only to disappear after an
interval long enough to read it.
1t is quite puzzling to the ordinary
pedestrian to explain the wonderful
light effects. 1t is apparent that the
light is obtained from electricity. but
this Is about all that is understood. In
such signs as where snake seems to
be wriggling along, cat chases rat.
words that spell themselves letter by
letter and in all other similar signs the
effect is produced by a mechanical
device called a Flasher" which lights
the tiny electric sign lamps in the or.
der required to produce the effect.
This flasher is driven by tiny motor
The flasher is made up of number
of fingers. and each finger drops in its
turn upon a metal plate that is elec.
trically connected with a certain letter
or series of letters, or, in the case of
the snake or rat chasers, with certain
bulbs. The flasher is driven rapidly,
and in this way the snake can be
speeded around its course very swift.
ly. Where the only effect desired is a
sign in which one letter is Illuminated
at time the flasher becomes a much
simpler device, but in all cases the un-
derlying principle is the same.-New

Senator La Toilette is rather pas
sionately committed to the horrid.
Socialistic, undemocratic and un-
American expedient of Government
ownership of railroads in Alaska. He
says, very truly. that whoever con-
trolls transportation will control the
coal and other coarser minerals.
The public domain in Alaska COM
prises over three hundred and fifty mil
lion acres, containing much mineral
wealth. In continental United States,
the Senator points out, we have al
ready disposed of nearly five hundred
million acres of public domain as fol-
lows: Given to homesteaders, one
hundred and fifteen million acres !;
granted to railroad and other corpor-
ations by Congress. and by several
states to which the Federal Govern
ment had previously transferred title,
one hundred and ninety million acres !;
sold by the Government at nominal
prices. one hundred and eighty million
acres.
A statute of 1873 provided that
public lands bearing coal might be
sold at mot less than ten dollars an
acre" if more than fifteen miles from
a railroad, or "not less then twenty
dollars an acre" if near a railroad.
For thirty three years, under that
statute, the Government blithely sold
coal lands at never more than ten or
twenty dollars an acre-that is. at
the very lowest possible price which
the law permitted, though the lands
were often worth much more.
In continental United States such
important natural resources formerly
belonging to the public-as> timber,
iron, hard coal-are now pretty
thoroughly monopolized. Of course
there is nothing horrid, Socialistic,
undemocratic and un.American about
that. On the contrary, it is strictly
in accordance with our most cherished
traditions; but would Government
ownership of railroads in Alaska real
ly be worse? Saturday Evening Post.

One of the results of the demand
for "practical" education which is
so dominant today is that there is a
gradually decreasing proportion Of
college graduates in the high school
faculties. The state Inspector says
that the colleges must change their
courses or yield to the technical
schools the claim to furnish secondary
instructors. The test now being put
upon the classical college course is
severe, for the professional schools
have been jealous of it on the one
hand, and now even the teachers
profession is showing it's disapproval.
1t is noticeable. however. that the
strong leaders in the new educational
thought are men of classical training
themselves. The inspector also sew
erely criticises some of the shopwork
taught in he schools as compared with
the greater effectiveness of agriculture
and home economics.

HURLED OVER BRIDGE RAIL
Minneapolis Auto Driver Thrown One
Hundred Feet to His Death.

Minneapolis Auto Driver Thrown One
Hundred Feet to His Death.
Hurled over the Washington ave.
nue. bridge at Minneapolis to the
flats nearly 100 feet below, when the
steering wheel of the automobile re-
fused to answer to its turn, Mart Nc.
Donald, twenty-one years old, a driver
for the Twin City Taxicab company,
was killed.
He was picked up a few moments
later, and died as the ambulance
reached the door of the city hospital.
His body was horribly crushed.
No one saw the accident, although
several were there q few moments
later. Mcdonald was driving west
across the bridge, and is believed to
have been on the left side. The
tracks indicate that he tried to turn
to the right side, and turned too
quickly, striking the railing Of the
bridge. The railing was bent a foot
and half outward, and the concus-
sion threw young Mcdonald over the
dashboard and hood of the machine
to the river bed. Physicians at the
city hospital do not understand why
he was not instantly killed.

The Minnesota railroad rate case has
been set by the supreme court of the
United States to be heard on January
9Th, when it will be argued at the
same time as other rate cases of simi-
lar character which come up from
Oregon, Kentucky and elsewhere.
The recent convention of governors
decided to ask leave to file brief in
this case because of the Importance of
the decision of this case to all of the
states. Gov. Harmon, of Ohio, Gov.
Aldrich. of Nebraska and Gov. Had
ley, of Missouri, were appointed to
prepare and file such a brief. Any
one of these governors appear to be
more interested in the outcome of the
Minnesota case than was the governor
of Minnesota, who was not even pre-
sent at the meeting.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1911

The press bureau which somebody
maintains in the interest of Governor
Eberhart should be suppressed before
it makes the governor ridiculous-or
any more so. Reporters for the city

to get an interview with the governor

Tripoli to the partition of China-any

RATE CASES SET BY COURT
Suits Of Minnesota and Other States
Come Up on Jan. 8.

~ ''''''''SSSs0 SHS SebSi StaSSS
Come Up on Jan. 8. -
By it's own initiative the supreme
court of the United States reassigned
all the state railroad cases, involving
conflicts between state and interstate
rates, for hearing as one case on Jan.
8 next. This affects cases from Min
nesota, Kentucky, West Virginia, Mis-
souri, and Oregon.
The so called hard coal case" an
other governmental trust busting"
suit, was at the head of the list for
consideration. ..
The hard coal cases. originated in
a dissolution suit begun in the United
States circuit court for Eastern Penn
sylvania against the principal rail
roads carrying anthracite coal and
coal owning companies. A general
conspiracy to reduce competition in
the transportation and sale of coal
was charged and in addition a num-
Der of special conspiracies by various
groups of defendants were charged.

The devastating floods which have
