the earth and perhaps in divers other ways, is not
for unscentifc persons to conjecture.
The fact that the air is in its composition four
ffths nitrogen only explains that the element is
there and not by any means how it may be ex-
tracted This odorless, coorless, tasteess harmless
nitrogen is mixed freely with the oxygen and the
less important gases in the air of Germany well
as of all other countries 1t has been breathed by
the peoples of the whole world every second since
the world began; yet the Germans, pressed by ne
eessity and naturally ingenious, are reported now
for the first time to have found how to get at it and
to put it to new and very practical use
A queer thing was done with invisible nitrogen
when it liquetied, and many other queer things
can be expected to be accomplished not only with
this gas but with others upon which experiments
are constantly being made. The discovery of a new
chemical process, strange that process may seem,
is never anything more than the revelation of one
more of the many laws of nature which previously
had been hidden from inquiring man.

To Report "occupational'' Diseases

Representative Maurer, of Reading.
the Socialist member of the House, has
introduced bill requiring all ply
sieians TO report to the State Health
Department certain occupational {"

any disease as a result of the nature
of the patients employment, shall,
within forty eight hours, send a report
to the State Health Department giving
the name, address and occupation of
the patient; the name, address and bust
ness of the employer; the nature of the
disease and such other information as
may be required by the Department.
The Department of Health must furnish
the blanks on which the reports are to
be made. Reports made under the act
shall not be evidence of the facts
therein stated in any action arising out
of the disease therein reported. Ply
sicians neglecting or refusing to send
such reports are guilty of misie-
meanor and may be penalized with a
fine Of from five to fifty dollars. The
Department of Health must furnish
copy of all reports of occupational dis
eases to the Department of Labor and
Industry.

tague Ferry started his department.
working today to find out everything
the city needs to know right away
about motor bus lines and what the
motor bus can do to cut down the
daily brushes and horrors of the sur
face and elevated cars.
His report will be ready before the
next council meeting. Aldermen of
the local transportation committee
meeting Wednesday will have some
of the main facts about motor bus OPP
Grafton. 1t is expected the first dis
cussion of motor bus advantages will
take place then and recommends
lions to the council are expected
soon. These are the points Commits
siOner Ferry will report on, in line
with the resolution Of Aid. Eugene
Block passed by the council last
night:
1. Where will it be most practical
to start motor bus routes? On what
streets will they give seats and de-
cent transportation to the largest
number of straphangers now packed
like cattle in the surface and elevated
cars?
2. How many people will various
modern types of the motor bus carry?
On what present traffic routes is the
most urgent need for relief?
8. What will it cost the city to
start a few bus lines as an expert
ment, with a view to buying more
when the operating success of the
first one is shown?
Here are the pointers about motor
bus lines which Aid. Block vents en-
phasized at this time:
/. Give the car companies little |
real competition. Take nickels away
from them. Break in on their profits. |
Show them what a municipality own |
ed transportation line can do. And
they will loosen up and give more

motor bus lines. Any subway system
will cost tens of millions of dollars.
But system of motor bus lines is
elastic. You can make it as big or as
little as you want to. If it pays, the
city can go on and extend it from a
few lines to many lines reaching all
parts of the city.
3. Reliable figures from London
show the motor bus as terrific COM
petitOr of the surface lines. The sub
way company known as the Under
ground Electric Railways Co. owns
the London General Omnibus Co.,
Ltd. Its motor buses increased from
1 in 1897 to 1908 in 1912. The mu-
nicipally owned surface lines of Lon
lon known as the London County
Council Tramways carried 512,652,
$50 passengers that year as compared
with 492,858,934 passengers carried
by the motor bus lines of the London
General Omnibus Co. At that, the
bus lines cost less than one-third the
investment of the surface lines. The
tramways cost $53, 100000 as against
SIS, 100000, the cost of the bus lines.
AID Charles Merriam commented
on the bus line plan: There may be
in this plan partial solution of the
traction problem. hope to see action
on this. Let us have all the facts
bearing on it at the earliest possible
date"
Aid. Stanley KunZ said: cit looks
good at the first glance. I am going
to follow it closely. Traction condi-
tons are at point where an expert
ment in motor buses, if not too cost
ly, should be carried through"
