readers to do all that prudence and fore
thought can accomplish in the way Of
avoidance and prevention Of such calami-
ties Only the stcadiest and most tlusty
Of teams should be put to these machines,
and they should be III charge OF expert

is too valuable to be risked thus. Acct

endeaIors TO prevent them, bat ii should
be seen TO, that when they do take place,
there shall be no room for scli-reproach
because of neglect or careessness.
