At its Angus Shops, Montreal, the Canadian Pacific Railway Company has quite an extensive plant where the most of its electroâ€"plating is carâ€" ried on. The method used by this Company is a simple one but none the less effective. ; The articles to be plated are first chemically cleaned, after which they are usually bung from a metal bar into a long vat where they are immersed in a chemical solution which varies with the metal to be deâ€" posited. The electric current, which is of low voltage, is connected, the b. oh c t ho l Ms x;oié to the metal plate or plates, and the negative to the bar trom which the articles to be plated are suspended. As tne electric curâ€" The traveller notices the silver plate perhaps more than any Oother, but many metals are used by the railroad companies. Gold, for inâ€" stance, is used by the Canadian Pacific for plating pepper caster tops and similar articles, copper is used on lighting and other metal car fixâ€" tures, zinc on refrigerator hardware, nickel on kitchen utensils, tin on trainmen‘s lanterns, mercury on telegraph elements and aluminum or lead on miscellaneous articles. Paasengers on the Transâ€"Canada ana Other Canadian trains have often admired the tableware with which the dining cars are equipped, but comparatively few of the travelling public appreciate the extent to which electroâ€"plating enters into every day use on a Railway. As a matter of fact, practically all metal hardware parts of passenger equipment inâ€" teriors are plated, many of the engine parts, including the copper reâ€" flector of the headâ€"light are plated, and various platings are used on a thousand and one articles which enter daily into the life of a railroader. $#3 electroâ€"plating operations at the Angus Shops, Montreal. _ No. 1 shows the tanks in which small articles are ing process. The text below explains the other photographs fully. Electroâ€"plating a Canadian Railway Operation Illustration No. 3 shows the next step in the treatment of the headâ€" light reflector, which, by the way, gives the highest concentration of light known. This is hand burnishing, the operator burnishing two reflectors in a working day. For articles which can be readily polished by a rotating buffing wheel, this is accomplished in the manner shown in No. 4. Upon completion of the polishing operation, articles to be so treated are placed in a metal container and, by means of a small compressed air gun, sprayed with suitable lacquer. If it is desired to oxidise the plated article in order to make it harmonize with woodwork or other material, as is often the case with copper platings, it is exposed to heat or vapor, or immersed in some solution prior to the application of the finishing coat of lacquer. > This process is well illustrated in No. 2, which shows two electric headlight reflectors in the process of receiving silver plating. In this case the plate of silver is suspended in the centre of the reflector, which is filled ‘with cyanide of potassium solution, and the electric current flows from the plate to the reflector which is, itself, the negative pole. The Canadian Pacific Railway Company was the first large corporaâ€" tion in Canada to instal its own electroâ€"plating plant, but during the last few years this method of protecting metal from oxidation has developed into quite an industry and one which employs a large number of Canadian workmen. rent flows from the plating metal to the suspended articles, the metal is carried through the solution and deposited in the form of a thin coating over the entire surface of the required article.

The farmers were unâ€" animously in favor of holding Farmers‘ Day in Iroquois Falls this year, and the date will be arranged bettween the representatives of the Matheson group and of the Monteith group, but it is likely toâ€"be between haying and harvesting somewhere about the middle of July, Represenâ€" tatives of the Government and the T.

BROVENDER‘S STORE DOME BLACK AND WHITE WIN FROM THE McINTYRE‘S The annual Temiskaming Firemen‘s Tournament, arranged at the annual meeting of the Association, to be held this year at South Porcupine, has been transferred to Cobalt so that it may ‘be included in the Cobalt Oldâ€" Timers‘ Reâ€"Union event. The Fireâ€" men‘s Tournament will be a feature of the Reâ€"Union on July lIst. Timâ€" mins Brigade opposed the change of place, and Iroquois Falls Brigade is understood also to have withheld conâ€" sent to the transfer. ‘This attitude was not taken with any desire to inâ€" terfere with the Cobalt event, but was prompted by the fact that Cobalt was not a member of the Temiskaming Firemen‘s Association and the place having once been decided upon should be adhered to. Also this year the North was entitled to the Tournaâ€" ment. Large numbers will undoubtâ€" edly go from this Camp to the Cobalt event, but even ‘supposing that a thousand, or even tiwo thousand, go, there will be thousands left here,â€" thousands for whom a holiday event is necessary on July lst. If the Fireâ€" men‘s Tournament had been held at South Poreupine it was hoped to make that event the holiday feature for the whole Poreupine Camp. That was the idea in Timmins,â€"Fthat all who could not go to Cobalt should have their day at South Porcupine. There will be twelve thousand or more here who will be unsaible to go to Cobalt. For these the holiday feaâ€" ture this year will be ‘‘Children‘s Day.‘‘ ‘The athletic grounds at Timâ€" mins have been reserved July lst this year for ‘‘Children‘s Day.‘‘ Last year this event was held at the Rink and was a pleasing succeess. Thidg year it will be a still greater success. TEMISKAMING FIREMEN‘S {OURNAMENT AT COBALT Originally Intended to be Held at South Porcupine, but Change Made on Account of Oldâ€" Timers‘ Reâ€"Union.

N.0O. operator on duty at Englehart on August 28th, 1923, the day 6f a fatal headâ€"on colâ€" lision near Dane, was found not guilty by a jury at the sessions at New Lis» keard Wednesday. Judgse Hartman, in discharging the jury, remarked that he disagreed with the verdict. Gilâ€" lice was charged with criminal negliâ€" gence, it hbeinge alleged by the Crown that he had neglected to give the conâ€" ductor of a northbound freight a schedule order governng the moveâ€" ments of a sou#hibound train of empty coaches. The trains met on the main line and three men were killed. Gilâ€" lice admitted not baving delivered the order, but it was urged in his defence that he had notified the despatcher at North Bay of the freight‘s departure in ample time to have the other train held at Dane. The despatcher, J. H. Dwyer, declared that he had not reâ€" ceived the notice until it was too late to take action and that he had been swamped in a rush of business after wire communication, which had been affected by a storm, was restored. Dwyer bkad been charged with a similar offence, but he told the court that the proceedings had been stayed. In a written verdict, the jury thought Gillice‘s ‘‘excessive duties,"‘"‘ were a reasonable exceuse for his failure to deliver the order, that Dwyer should have checked him, and that additional help should be provided by the T.
