For the purpose of hauling their
freight trains between Sacramento and
Chico, the Northern Electric company
has turned out what is probably the
largest electric locomotive in the world.
1t is mounted on a car fifty-seven feet
long and has two motors, aggregatfng
500 horsepower.
The number of passengers killed or
injured in Germany per 100000 car
ried was 0.5S in 1900 and O.42 in 1909,
which latter year was distinguished by
the exceptionally fatal Mulheim dis
aster. The average number of passen-
gers killed in the last ten years is %
per million carried.
The legislature of the state of Wash
ington has passed bill for full crew
law. Besides requiring three brake
men on each freight train of 25 cars. it
requires two brakemen on every pas
senger train of four cars or more and
conductors on all engines running
without trains. A press dispatch of
March Is said that the governor had
received a hundred kilograms asking
him to veto the bill.
Mrs D. M. Tillotson, an operator in
the office of the Western Union Tele-
graph company at Chicago, has been
retired en- a pension after a service of
so years. Mrs. Tfllotson was born in
New York state and was the first
woman operator employed in the Chi
cago office. She has never used the
typewriter, but in a test, eight years
ago, she handled so messages an hour.
During the year 1910 the Illinois
Central r. R. system carried total
of 3O,728,211 passengers without a ia
tality to a passenger as the result of an
accident. The lines of the system on
which this record was achieved cover
some 1000 miles, and computed as
passengers carried one mile there were
799. 23s.174 persons carried one mile
on the company's trains In these fig
ures are included some 1000, 600 pas
sengers carried on the Chicago subur-
ban lines, on which not a single person
in fifty-five years has been killed while
being transported as passenger

corn on the cob. The burrows, or
the space between the kernels, should
be narrow; the grains deep, the cob
comparatively small. The color OF the
kernels should be uniform, having no
indication Of mixed variety. All ears
that show immaturity or rotted ker-
nels should be eliminated, and espe-
cial care should be taken to select
ears with large germs. The fact should
be borne In mind that large yield
requires ears that are well filled and
as few nubbins and barren stalks as

all the raw products at home. thereby
