RAILROADS BUYING
NEW ROLLING STOCK

Philadelphia--On the eve Of what manu-
facturers and business men generally be-
lieve to be one Of the biggest Industrial
revivals ever experienced in the history Of
the country. the railroads are in the mar
ket for a larger amount OF equipment than
at any time in the last five years. says the
North American. BY the fall it is gen
orally predicted that the railroads of the
country will a v in operation a greater
complement of motive power and rolling
stock han they have ever had in their
history.
In the six years between the end OF 1901,
considered q banner year in freight move
ments. and the beginning Of this year. the
average annual output Of locomotives for
the various railroads aggregated 1878.
while the ar output averaged 1M.6sO.
In the frst six months of this year the
orders placed ave already aggregated
2.100 locomotives and 10000 freight cars.
which Is equivalent to 400 locomotives
and $4,000 freight cars for the ear
These totals ave never before been
equaled in the history Of r~ailroadinE. and
the general feeling 10 that the railroad
officers nave taken extra precautions this
year to see to It that there shall be no
congestion when the crops begin to move.
One Of h largest orders to be placed
was the contract awarded recently by the
Boston & Albany railroad through the
New York Central lines which will involve
an expenditure Of approximately @5.0OO.0OO.
Nearly 10000 grain cars are being built
by roads having headquarters and termi-
nails In Minneapolis n st. Paul. accord
Ing to officers OF tho roads who declared
that the cars would be rushed to grain
.~prOductng points In order hat there may
be no deayth OF rolling stock. Everyone
Of h new cars will have been distributed

PROGRESS IN FUEL eRIouErs

PROGRESS IN FUEL BRloUErs
Considerable progress has been made
In the development of fuel briQueting
in the United States during the last
two years. according to Edward w.
Parker, In a statement just made pub
lie by the United States Geological
Survey. This country. however, still
lags far behind some Of the European
countries. particularly Germany, in this
line Of industrial activity. In 1909 the
production Of fuel brtquets in the
United States wa 1895 short tons,
valued at $662.eS7. an increase Of near
" IS per cent in quantity over 1905.
In 1911 the production amounted to
312.443 short tons. valued at 3769,721.
the increase In two years amounting to
72,782 short tons. Or s. per cent. in
quantity. and to $317. 02l. or 20 per cent
In value.
In Mr.. Parker's opinion, more atten-
ton should be given to this industry.
as on 1t depends to a considerable de-
gree the utilization OF some grades Of
fuel which are nov wasted or sold at
less than the actual cost Of production,
The reprehensible practice OF shooting
bituminous coal ''of the solids prac-
tice notably prevalent In the fields OF
~non-coaking coal In the Mississippi
valley-produces an inordinate propor-
tion Of slack. which might be made In.
to briQuets.

MATHEMATICIAN COURTS
FATE OF ARCHIMEDES
From HE Boston Globe.

Ancient Greece produced Archime-
des. one Of the greatest mathema-
ticians of all time. He was hard at q
problem n day, while his country
was at war, when q Roman soldier
came upon him and demanded his sur
at h point of his problem and paid
no attention to the intruder, who,
angry at the ~inattention, slew the
mathematician, thus robbing the world
Of q great man.
W. have not produced his equal in
America until recently a New York
man took up the work where Archi-
modes left It of. Our OWL prodigy
starts his triumphs with statistics on
the Jersey mosquito. And this is what
he says:
A mosquito, Jersey size, is an eighth
Of an inch long and one twenty-fourth
of an inch wide, which means 192 to
the square inch. That means 27.64S to
the square foot. One acre gives us
1.294, ~. $50 mosquitoes. There = $40
acres to the square mile; and as Jer-
sey contains 1875 square miles, that
means 6,025. 669. $40, 0e8, 900 mosquitoes,
or reduced to plain talk 6 quadrillion,
Is %trillion, 661 billion. $40 million, (back
to a Standard OIL basis,) 5000 mosque
toes.
These figures allow about 100000
mosquitoes to the person in New Jer-
sey.. which is the important fac that
our modern prodigy wishes to demon
strate.
The Roman soldier who killed Archi-
medes was severely reprimanded for
the wanton sacrifice, but anybody in
the broad country who wishes to emu
late the Romans example will be for
given, for there are certain facts that
we DO not care to know.
