Expensive Locomotives.

Specifications for the 400 locomo.
tives recently ordered by the Russian
government call for copper fire boxes.
1t will require 1,600 tons, or 100000
pounds, of copper to make these fire
boxes. In this country the railroads
use boilers made wholly of steel. They
could use copper for the lower part OF
the boilers, but this would only add to
the expense Of the locomotives. The
question has been asked, Why should
Russia not content herself with steel
instead of copper? Engineers say that
Russia has used the copper fire boxes
SO long that she wants no other kind.
They say that the climatic conditions
in Russia do not preclude the use OF
all-steel boilers. Anyway, Russia will
have 1000 tons of copper which she
would not otherwise have had. She
may eventually do what the Germans
were reported to have done, to repien.
ish ammunitions shells; that is, strip
the locomotives Of their copper fire
boxes and substitute iron boxes

a Mistake in Scott.

Novel readers who like to combine
the classic with the topical may be
turning back, now that another great
chapter in the history of CONSTANT
neple is opening, to one of Scott's less
popular works, Count Robert Of
Paris" And there they will find one
of those curious slips, analogous to-
the lady novelist's horse that won the
Derby three years running and the
eclipse of the sun in King Solomon's
Mines" followed by moonlight
night. SCOTS slip is more cxcusable,
seeing that he had not seen Constan"
tinople, but it cannot be explained
away. Sir Edwin Pears, while testi-
flying that Scott's descriptions are
upon the whole singularly exact, OBJ
serves that he makes the Crusaders
wait before crossing a bay on the
Bosporus until the tide has ,ebbed.
Now there is no tide in either the
Bosphorus or the Marmora.

NOT THE FAULT OF RAILROAD
No Blame Can BE Attached to Man
asement for Deaths of Nineteen
Persons in 1914.

If every one of the million trains op-
Grated on one single system in 1914
had arrived and departed on time,
each one moving over its own partic-
ular route without a semblance of a
train accident, nineteen persons,
classed in the interstate commerce
commissions accident reports as pas
sengers, would have been killed; but
not a passenger was killed in train
accident on the 26,198 miles of track.
How the nineteen persons lost their
lives: Six by falling, jumping or slip
ping from moving cars or trains; two
by attempting to get on moving
trains; two by slipping off station plat
forms in front Of trains; two by stand
ing too close to edges of station plat
forms and being struck by trains; one
by jumping off ferry boat; one by
throwing himself between cars Of NOV
ing train; three by crossing tracks at
stations in front Of trains; one struck
by coach and thrown under train; one
when assaulted by another passenger
and thrown from train. The railroad
was powerless to prevent the fatali-
ties.

SIGNAL LAMPS IN DAYLIGHT
Their Use on Electric Railroads Es-
pecially Has Eeen Mace an
Object Of Much Study.

The use Of signal lamps for daytime
signaling on electric railroads, as well
as for night signals, thus dispensing
with semaphores and operating me-
chanism, has been the subject of
extensive experiments and study
lately.
The recent introduction of hooded
lamps and the development of the
lenses and artificial backgrounds has
gone long way in placing this SIM
pie equipment far ahead of the old
style moving mechanisms and sema-
phore movements over the face Of
a stationary light.
The first signal system based on
scientific principles, for both day and
night service, was on the Brooklyn
bridge in 1907. The signals had five.
inch lenses, giving both red and green
indications, and were equipped with
ten-inch hoods. These lights were not
equipped with any artificial back
ground. Behind the lenses were mount.
ed 16-candlepower lamps. These
proved only partly satisfactory, and
from then until 1911 there were but
few attempts to use lights for day.
time signaling.
In 1912 the use Of deeper hoods,
artificial backgrounds and the strong
white light of the tungsten lamps so
improved the signal as to provide the
first long-range indications under the
most severe daylight conditions.
The latest development Of this
phase of railroad signaling is the sue
cessful installation and operation Of
more than fifty miles Of these signals
on the system of the Indiana Traction
company. These signals have 4O-watt
lamps and eight-inch hoods, and in
daytime the signal indications can be
read clearly at $500 feet and at night
more than 25 miles.-World's Ad.

BEST RAIL GRINDER
SIMPLE MACHINE SAID TO DO
PERFECT WORK.
So Light That It May Be Lifted From
the Track and Replaced With
Minimum of interruption to
Roads Traffic.

The accompanying illustration
shows a very simple electric grinder
developed at London, Eng. The ma
chine is so light that it can be instant
ly taken off the rail on the approach
of car and be put to work again in
the space of about thirty seconds.
Therefore, it may be operated without
interfering in the least with the regu-
lar service during the day. The ordi-
nary rail grinders have to be used at
night after the car traffic is stopped as
they are so heavy and unwieldy as
to call for a clear track and uninter-
rupted operation, which means night
work and extra pay for foreman and
operators.
1t is claimed that night grinding re-
suits in some very Indifferent work,
the ftful light being responsible for
disastrous "cuts" in the rail so that
more harm may be done to rails than
if they were left alone. When one
considers that much of the grinding
must not exceed 1-100th part part of
an inch, it must be admitted chat such
q delicate operation should be done
only under good light conditions.
This electric rail grinder utilizes the
human sense Of touch in graduating
the grinding force of the emery wheel.
The depth of the "cut' is regulated by
the pressure of the operators hands
on the shafts, and he is made uncon-
sciously aware Of the depth of the
"cut" by the vibrations conducet along
the arms of the machine. The success
full "cut" should die out imperceptibly
about Is to IS inches away from the
joint, on either side.
The machine has a simple frame
work of ash providing a seating at
one end for the motor. AS the motor
is close to it's work, low horsepower
is sufficient to drive the grinding
wheel. The motor is supplied with
current from the overhead wire. A
starter box is placed between the two
arms, and a switch is located near
the right handle.
There is an automatic "cut-out"
used in connection with the starter so
arranged that should the operator at
tempt to take deeper "cut" than is
advisable, the current is automatically
cut off and the machine stopped. The
machine will grind out corrugations
equally as well as defective joints, and
will smooth 10 to Is feet an hour, ac-
cording to depth and freedom from
interruption. By slight fitting of the
machine one side of the rail can be
ground more than the other if required.

Ewes Stand the Strain.

The number of persons wearing
glasses is often taken to mean that
eyes are deteriorating. But scientific
opinion does not hold to this view. So
far as science knows there has been
no change in the structure of the hu-
man body in historic times.
Examination Of the eyes of Indian
students in schools shows as large a
proportion with defective vision as of
white pupils. Several years ago ain
oculist measured the refraction of the
eyes of many wild animals in the
Bronx Zoo of New York. Their eyes
proved to be as defective as the eyes
of human beings. Nature is often a
bit careless in it's work. But there is
no evidence that its optical glass Is
breaking down under the strain I'm
posed by .litation.

F.ATTzR OF JUSTICE FIRST
Vermont Judge tiad Little Use for
Legal Quibs,ies That Amounted
80 Nothing.

The Central Law Journal says that
Theophilus Harrington, Vermont
Judge in the early part of the last CEN
tury, was man who loved the right
and cared little for mere legal quib,
bling. "H justice controls your ver-
dict" he would often say to the jury,
"you will not miss the general prin-
ciples of the law" At one trial when
the possession of farm was in ques-
ton the defendant offered deed OF
the premises to which the plaintiffs
lawyer, Daniel Chipman, objected be-
cause it had no seal.
"But your client sold the land, was
paid for it and signed the deed, did
he not?" asked the judge.
"That makes no difference" said
Chipman, "the deed has no seal and
cannot be admitted in evidence"
"Is anything else the matter with
the deed?" asked the Judge.
"I don't know that there is" ~
"Mr. Clerk" said the judge, give
me wafer and three cornered piece
Of paper"
The clerk obeyed, and the judge de-
liberately made and affixed the seal.
"There, Brother Chapman" said he,
"the deed is all right now. It may be
put in evidence. A man is not going
to be cheated out of his farm in this
court when there is a whole box of
waters on the clerks desk"

ACCIDENTS oM TIE DECREAsE:
Reports Made to Interstate Commerce
Commission Show Most Crafty
ing State CT Affairs.

Reports made to the interstate con-
merce commission by the steam rsl!-
roads of the country pursuant to law
covering the quarter ending March q
shows that 65 persons were killed ana
1872 injured in train accidents for the
quarter. Compared with the same Pc
riod the preceding year this was de-
crease Of nearly 100 per cent in the
fatalities and of more than per cenG
ir the accidents reporting simply In
juries.
There was also a considerable de-
crease in the number of other acci.
dents, including those of employees
engaged in other work than the opera
ton of trains, classed as industrial
accidents"
There were fewer railway accidents
in the first quarter Of the present year
than for the corresponding period OF
last year.
Altogether the report is an excel
lent showing for the railways, proving
that railway travel is becoming safer
every year. The report shows that
74.S per cent of the derailments were
due, the commission finds, to defective
roadway and defective equipment. OF
the accidents due to defective road.
way about 21.2 per cent were caused
by broken rails, and of the derailments
due to defective equipment 2S per cent
were caused by defective or broken
wheels.
