Locomotive HeadIiqhts.

The principal light sources now avail
able for locomotive head lamps are
oil flames, acetylene gas flames. incan-
descent electric lamps and electric are
lamps. The light emitted by any one of
these, to be effective for head lamp SER
vice, must be concentrated into a beam.
There are two principal methods of ac-
eomplishing this-one by the use of
lens, the other by the use of a para
bolic reflector.
AS it is practically impossible to con-
centrate a powerful ell or gas fame
into a small volume these light sources
are eliminated where a strong head
lamp is required. The electric arc is a
very powerful light source of small
volume. Backed by the proper reflector
it will produce an extremely powerful
dazzling beam. Many roads, especially
the double track lines equipped with
block signals. consider such a beam
detrimental to the safe operation of
trains, owing to the temporary building
of the engineer of an approaching To-
oomotive, reflection from glass signal
lenses. fog, etc.
Between the flame head lamp and
the other extreme comes the incan-
descent. The present high efficiency
drawn wire tungsten can be formed in
to d lamp filament of high candle pow
er occupying a very small space, says
the Electrical world. with such a
light source backed by q good parabol-
ic reflector excellent beams can be OBJ
tanned of sufficient intensity to enable
an engineer to distinguish a man a
thousand or more feet ahead of the 10
comotive and having spread enough
to cover a double track roadbed, with
out throwing a powerful light on to
the glass signals along the sides or ov
er the roadbed.'
Tests by various railroads have
shown that man in white clothes can
be discerned about one and six-tenths
times es far down the track as one in
gray, while the latter can be seen enc
and three-tenth times as far as man
in black.
The braking distance of an express
train running sixty miles an hour is in
the neighborhood of from one thousand

hundred feet, depending upon various
road conditions The incandescent
head-lamp would show up distractions
in sufficient time TO allow the engineer
to reduce speed to such a point that
the safety of the passengers would be

By WinsIow That He Ever
Tried to ''Cfowd" Plant.
Prosecution Claims Purchase
Was 10 Get Rid Of Competition.
Can United Rely on Patents for Pro.
lection Under Antitrust Act?

Boston, Dec. 11.-An emphatic de-
NAL that he ever attempted to exert
any influence on any bank or creditor
of Thomas Ct. Plant, to prevent him
from getting further credit was made
by Sydney w. Winslow, president of
the United Shoe Machinery Co., under
cross examination, today, in the trial
of the governments suit for dissolu-
ton of the company under the Sher-
man act
James A. Fowler, special assistant
to the United States attorney general,
asked Mr.. Winslow if he did not know
that Mr.. Plant was heavily in debt
at the time he sold out his shoe ma
chinery plant to the United Co. You
knew parties to whom he owed ST.
600, 900, didn't you ?' added Mr.. Fowler
NO" returned Mr.. Winslow. ut
was reported to me that he owed mon
ey at several different banks in Bos-
ton"
Didn't you send an attorney to New
York to prevent him from raising
money there?"
Any statement of that kind" re-
piled Mr.. Winslow, lis absolutely ma
lieious. 1t has been stated in public
print as many times, but it is not
true
Mr.. Fowler said the government
contended that the Plant purchase
was made, not for the sake of ac-
quiring patents, as testified by Mr..
Winslow, but to get rid of competition.
His questions along this line were de-
signed to show that in addition to the
Plant Shoe Machinery Mr.. Winslow
acquired so per cent of the stock in
the Plant Shoe Factory and the bus
mess of the Stanley Manufacturing
Co.; the Stambon Co., and the Bresna
han Co., in all of which Mr.. Plant was
interested
The largest of these was the Stan
ley Co., which was a shoe machinery
concern. Mr.. Winslow testified that
it was making Mckay sewing ma
chimes like those of the United Shoe
Machinery Co.
The s6,00O,000 paid for the Plant
machines and stock did not include the
price paid for the Bresnahan, Stam-
bon and Stanley Cos, Mr.. Winslow
said. The Plant machines included ev-
cry kind that was acquired to manu-
facture a welt shoe. After the pur-
run with the Plant machines until last

Boston, Dec. 1.-THE question as to
whether the United Shoe Machinery Co.
could rely on its patents for protection
under the Sherman antitrust act was
raised by Judge William l. Putnam. to-
day. in the United States district court
where the company is on trial as an un-
lawful monopoly under the sherman act.
Judge Putnam, who is presiding with
Judges Dodge and Brown, stated that he
wanted to call the attention of counsel
to the peculiar operation of the act and
its relation to the patent rights involved
in the present case. The supreme court
of the United States in the indictment
submitted to it earlier in the case had
not lOucAeu on the patent question at all
and possibly the defence would not have
to rely on it, he said.
1t was difficult. he said. to find word
which adequately described the operation
of the sherman act The act was not
reactionary in the general sense of the
word, he stated, but changing conditions
frequently gave it force in cases where
originally it had none.
This was seen clearly, he said, in the
case of a nuisance. a factory emitting
disagreeable fumes may not be NUS
ance out in the country, but with the
growth of the community about it, it
may become a nuisance.
In cases under the Sherman act, the
courts had permitted, he said, the in
PRODUCTION of testimony relating to con-
ditions that existed not only after the
passage of the Sherman act, but to con-
ditions that existed before its passage.
when we come to enter final de-
cree in this case, said he. I'VE will want
counsel to determine whether the decree
will be effective as to present conditions
or as to conditions at the time of the
filing of the bill"

The most dressy styles are the sandal

Low-cut slippers are laced in sandal
fashion with ribbons or leather strans
across the instep, and fasten around the

simulated by an openwork design. This
gives TO the slipper more permanent

tail flesh should then come out in one

Buttered lobster is one OF the easiest
lobster dishes to prepare. but, because
It takes nothing from the delicate flavor
of the fish itself, 1t Is one Of the most
tempting. To prepare It. beat the yolks
