CHICAGO, Dec. Ga new high
mark for the crop was set in tho
wheat pit today. A strong buying
movement at the start sent the open
ing up 1ss and 7s to 11S and III.
There was a dip shortly later when
there was tendency to unload at
the high figures. Later the buyers
returned to the majority and the
prices soarded to Ia and IN above
the opening.
Heavy demand and reports that the
last crop was shorter than expected,
caused sharply higher corn prices to-
day. The opening was up liz and n
to 6SA and 70A. The demand grow
ing as the day advanced, prices later
advanced n and l.
Oats showed little change. There
was little trading. Prices were up

SIGNAL LAMPS IN DAYLIGHT
peciaIIy Has Eeen Made an
Object of Much Study.

The use of signal lamps for daytime
signaling on electric railroads, as we'll
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 40-watt
lamps and eight-inch hoods, and in
daytime the signal indications can be
read clearly at $500 feet and at night
more than rs miles.-Worlds Ad-
vance.

ACCIDENTS ON THE DECREASE
Reports Made to Interstate commercs
Commission Show Most Crafty
Ing State Of Affairs.

Reports made to the interstate COM
merce commission by the steam rail-
roads of the country pursuant to law
covering the quarter ending March 81
shows that IS persons were killed and
1872 injured in train accidents for the
quarter. Compared with the same Pc
Rod the preceding year this was a de-
crease of nearly 100 per cent in the
fatalities and of more than per cent
in the accidents reporting simply in
juries.
There was also a considerable de-
crease in the number Of other acct
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
74.8 per cent Of the derailments we're
due, the commission finds, to defective
roadway and defective equipment. OF
the accidents due to defective road
way about PIP per cent were caused
by broken rails, and of the derailments
due to defective equipment % per cent
were caused by defective or broken
wheels.

Expensive Locomotives.

Specifications for the 400 locomo-
tives recently ordered by the Russian
government call for copper fire boxes.
1t will require 1900 tons, or 3,200000l
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 replen.
ish ammunitions shells; that is, strip
the locomotives of their copper fire
boxes and substitute iron boxes

TAME HENS LAY HOST EGGS
Poultry Keeper Must Be on Good
Terms With Members of His Flock
Make Friends With Chicks.

When a man says his hens don't
lay or pay, or both. little observa-
ton will usually disclose the fact that
his hens are too shy and nervous to
stay on the nest long enough to lay
an egg. Have you ever watched the
successful poultry keeper, the one who
is making poultry keeping pay, how
his fowls run after him whenever he
has occasion to enter the poultry
yard? The best results cannot be OBJ
tanned from hens that are wild and
shy. The poultry keeper must be on
good terms with his hens or his hens
won't lay as they should A hen that
is so wild that she will fly off the nest
or roost whenever anyone enters the
poultry house cannot be a good layer.
She is in a continual nervous state for
fear someone will come within sight
CT her and hasn't time to think OF
laying eggs.
But there is another disadvantage
beside the one that directly affects
your pocketbook in having wild"
fowls. 1t is~'t conducive to good
temper to have your fowls start cack-
ling and growing every time you hap
pen to set near them, nor is it very
convenient when you have to chase a
long-leggad cockerel all over the
place every time wife wants chicken
