For the purpose of better detecting

The device closely resembles the old

New Railroad Experiment.

An interesting experiment is to be
tried by the Swedish railroads admin
istration of running third-class sleep
ing cars. The first of the cars will be
run between Stockholm and Malmoe.
At each end of the saloon are dressing
tables, etc., with hot and cold water.
There will be nine compartments,
seven of these will have six beds. BY
day each compartment furnishes eight
sitting places. The other compart-
ments are for four persons by day
and three by night. These are reserved
for ladies. The cost of this sleeping
accommodation will be only Is cents
above the ordinary ticket. If the ex-
pertinent Is well received the plan will
be extended. The experiment is not
new, for we believe third-class Sleep
ing cars have been run on the state
railways in Finland for at least TWEEN
ty years.

Dogs In Commerce.

The dumping of 10000 pariah dogs
from Constantinople on the Island OF
Okla, in the Sea of Marmora, has
evoked ceaseless protests from all
lovers Of animals throughout the civ.
flied world.
ton of Cruelty to Animals has en-
tered a solemn protest on the grounds
that the Punishment of the dogs has
been inhumanly carried out, that the
fearful decimation by disease and
madness will certainly be attended
with serious results, and that the en-
tire measure is unworthy of any gov
eminent endeavoring to fall into line
with the customs Of western civiliza-
ton. The protest has been lodged
with Sir Edward Grey.
An enterprising Frenchman has
opened a business In the bones and
skins of the dead dogs. His object Is
to export the skins to Berlin, Paris
and London, where, he imagines, they
can be converted into gloves. The
manager of Messrs. Dent ridiculed the
proposition. "The dogs bones may
prove valuable manurial ingredient"
he said, "but the skin for glowing is
impossible. It has long since been
abandoned. Like the colts, 1t Is not
sufficiently elastic. Dogs skins may
be, and are, used by fishermen as
buoys, but the trade Is limited and

Use for Resinite.

The United States consul at Chem
nitz has sent to the bureau Of manu-
features sample Of new substance
called resinite, invented in Germany,
which can be used for the manufac-
ture of articles which are now made
of celluloid. The material is produced
in variety Of notifications by the
union of formaldehyde and carbolic
acid in connection with certain metal
lie salts. 1t has many advantages. but
the most important In comparison
with celluloid Is its resistance to
fiame-it is non-combustible This
latter quality ought to make resinite
take the place of celluloid in a short
time, as the infiammability of the lat
ter product is SO great that people
who use articles made from it are in
danger whenever they approach fire.

Concrete tubes, posts, etc, are pro-

be used to give strength to the pipe,

MUST ALL REMAIN ON DUTY
Trainmen on Big Western Road Not to
Be Allowed to Wash Up
En- Route.

An order having for its purpose the
minimizing of wrecks at terminals has
been issued by Assistant General Man
ager Ware of the Union Pacific Rail-
way company, and in effect it reads as
follows:
He who wishes to hold his job with
the Union Pacific, be he engineer, fire.
man, conductor, fagman or brakeman,
must enter terminal stations CARRIED in
working clothes, with unwashed faces
and hands,"
According to the report of the inter-
state commerce commission the Union
Pacific is one of the roads that has few
wrecks. By issuing the foregoing or
der and compelling Its enforcement,
Assistant General Manager Ware and
the other officials believe that the COM
pany's good record can be made still
better. Investigations made show that
in the past the great majority of rail-
road wrecks, not only on the Union
Pacific, but on other lines, have occur
red at Or near terminal stations.
The assistant general manager of
the Union Pacific finds that in the ma
jority of cases when there have been
such wrecks the engineer, fireman or
fagman, instead of being on duty, care
fully watching for signals of warning
or for distractions on the track, have
been washing their faces and hands, SO
as to save their individual time.
Mr.. Ware even cites instances where
every member of the train crew, from
engineer to rear flagman, in duty hours
have been ''sprucing" up for entrance
into a terminal, leaving the train abso-
lutely unprotected, thing they would
not think of doing if away out on the
line. The Ware order int1mates that in
the future the appearance Of an incom'
ing employe Of the Union Pacific wear
ing clean white shirt, spotless collar
and cuffs, shined shoes, will not do,
providing, of course, that that particu-
lar trainman is on actual duty.
For the convenience of the men. at
all terminal stations in the depots
rooms will at once be provided where
the employees may go and change their
clothing, thus presenting neat appear
ance before going out on the streets.
These rooms will be equipped with
baths, both hot and cold, soap and
clean towels, combs and brushes and
the facilities for brushing their cloth
ing and polishing their shoes.
