THE WAY TO PREVENT RAILROAD Acct
pENTs.-There is only one chief cause OF
railroad accidents, that is-carelessness
There are railroads in the country that
have been in operation many years, and
that never have had an accident. Can
there be any doubt about the reason for
this exemption? 1t is due to one thing,
and one only-thorough and energetic
care on the part of the managers. The
properties OF iron, wood and steam are
constant; the universe is governed by fixed
laws; the same care In the management of
other roads would result in the same
safety.
The manifest means for securing this
thorough care in the management of all
roads are to make 1t for the interest OF
managers to be careful. The principal
cause of carelessness is a desire to save
money. Incompetent superintendents are
hired at low salaries; repairs are postponed
or imperfectly performed, and risks of &C
cidents are encountered rather than the ex-
pense to prevent them.
Now, our railroad directors are not
usually men who delight in useless slaugh-
ter, like Champ Ferguson or Captain Wirz.
If 1t were Just as cheap, they would usually
prefer to carry their passengers through in
safety, rather than 10 tumble them down
an embankment or pitch them into river.
The plain remedy, then, is to make it
cheaper for railroad directors TO run their
trains with safety than it is to run them
with the recklessness that now prevails
Let every accident cost the company so
much that it will be for their interest to
avoid 1t. Let juries exact heavy damages
in all cases of death or injury.
In order that this may be done in the
States of New York, a change in the law
is necessary. The revised statutes limit
the damages that may be recovered in
case of actual death by the carelessness Of
railroad managers to $1,000. If lawyer,
doctor, broker, with an income ofSlO, 600
is suddenly killed by the carelessness Of
some opulent railroad company, the widow
is offered the pittance of $500 a year,
There is not mechanic in the country
who cannot earn two, three or four times
this sum. AS a first step toward railroad
reform let us have a repeal of this absurd
law.-Scis'ltlfe american.

A New EXPLOSIVE SUBSTANCE .-Glycer-
inc, as we all know, is the sweet princi-
pie of oil, and Is extensively used for pur-
poses of the toilet, but 1t has now received
an application of rather an unexpected
nature. GahgBdni states that in 1S47,
pupil Of NJ. Pelouze's, NJ. Sobrero, discov-
cred that glycerine, when treated with
nitric acid, was converted into q highly
explosive substance, which he called nitro
glycerine. 1t is oily, heavier than water,
soluble in alcohol and ether, and acts so
powerfully on the nervous system that q
single drop placed on the tip of the tongue
will cause violent headache that will last
for several hours. This liquid seems to
have been almost forgotten by chemists,
and 1t is only now that Mr.. Nable, a Swedish
engineer, has succeeded in applying 1t to
a very important branch of his art, viz
blasting. From a paper addressed by
him to the Academy Of Sciences, we learn
that the chief advantage which this sub
stance, composed Of one part of glycerine
and three of nitric acid, possesses, is that
1t requires a much smaller hole or chamber
than gunpowder does, the strength of the
latter being scarcely one-tenth of the
former. Hence the miners work, which
according TO the hardness of the rock,
represents from TO 20 times the price OF
RunpoWuer used, lS so snort That the cost
of blasting is often reduced by so per cent.
The process is very easy. If the chamber
of the mine present fiss ures II must first be
lined with clay to make it water-tight; this
done, the nitro-glycerine is poured in and
water after 1t, which, being the lighter
liquid, remains at the top. A slow match,
with a well charged percussion cap at
one end, is then introduced into the nitro
glycerine. The mine may then be sprung
by lighting the match, there being no need
OF tamping. On the 7th of June last three
experiments were made with this new
compound in the open part of the tin mines
of Altenburg. in saxony. In one of these
a chamber "a millimetres in diameter was
made perpendicularly in dolomitic rock
60 feet in length, ard at a distance of II
feet from its extremity, which was nearly
vertical. At depth OF S.feet vault filled
with clay was found, in consequence OF
which the bottom of the hole was tamped,
leaving depth of 7 feet. One liter and a
hal ., nitro-glycerine was then poured in
1T occuD'ed feet; match and stopper
were then applied as stated, and the mine
sprung. The effect was SO enormous as
TO produce fssure SO feet in length and
another of 20 feet. The total effect has moi
yet been ascertained, because It will require
several small blasts to break the blocks thai
have been partially detached by this.-M

THE THEATRE DU CHATKIET is about to
bring out drama by Mons. Alex. Dumas.
Its history Is little singular. Fifteen
years since, while he was a refugee at
Brussels, he wrote five act drama, and
being summoned unexpectedly from
Brussels, he left the drama in the house
of the friend with whom he was STAYING.
1t lay In the drawer some fourteen years.
when his FRIEND discovered it. He copied Il
