Railway Signals.

The great improvement in safety in
railway travelling that has been brought
about in this country in the last twenty
years is fact admitted by all who travel
much; but few persons really compre-
bend how safe a place a seat in car on
well-managed railway train really is.
In the eight years from 1870 to 1878
there were 1,165 lives lost from railway
accidents in the State of Massachusetts,
which is an average of only LAG year;
while the accidental deaths in the city
of Boston alone from 1868 to 1873 were
1851, or at the rate of 259 year. Bos-
ton has a population of $50, 900, and
the State of Massachusetts, a population
five times as great. Besides, the mum
Der of passengers carried on railroads
in Massachusetts is ten millions year.
When, therefore, it is remembered that
of ten million persons carried in rail-
way cars, year, only LAG lose their
lives, while nearly double that number
lose their lives every year by accidenm
in the single city of Boston alone, it
will be seen to how low minimuts the
hazard of railway travel has been re-
duced.
But Massachusetts railway statistics
reveal another interesting fact, viz:
That a majority OF deaths on railways
come, not from the hazards of railway
travelling, but from walking on and
driving across the track. 1t may not
be generally known. but it is fact that
persons have no right to walk on rail-
way track, and when they do so they
are liable to be dealt with as trespassers.
Some of the best roads in the country
are carefully ballasted with rough
broken stone, difficult to walk upon,
for the purpose of discouraging track
walking. But in spite of all that can
be done, tramps and persons of better
grade, women and children, persist in
a habit which is attended by great dam
ger and which contributes at least one
half to the number of lives lost by rail
way accidents.
There is no subject that railway peO-
pie give more careful study to than that
of signaling with a view to avoid acct
dents. Various systems have been
tested, and some of them adopted.
Each possesses merits Of its own. but
none of them come up to the standard
of what railway people demand. The
very best of them require to be supple
mented with diligent track-walking and
individual inspection. What we
want" says an experienced railway
superintendent, lis signal that will
operate all the time without failure. If
it fails one time in hundred, it will
not .do.'' Such signal has not yet
been devised, but railway men hope
that it will be.-MissossrS Republican.

An Elephant Trying to Board . Ship.
NEW YORK, January

The Indian Government has present
ed to the King of the Belgians four ele-
plants, to be used by his expedition,
and they have arrived safely at Zanzi-
bar and been landed near Darses-Sa-
laam. One who saw them landing says
the scene was very exciting. They
were dumped in the water from the
ship. We never thought the first ele-
plant could get alive to shore. It swami
more than mile in distance, and was
in the water more than an hour. Long
after it was half way it would keep
turning around and trying to come
back to the ship. 1 cannot describe to
you the excitement there was on board.
/ fairly cried with anxiety and excite
ment; it would have been too horrible
to see it drowned. 1t tried to climb up
the ships side once. 1t was pouring
with rain, which made things seem
more dismal; we were all wet through,
but nobody cared. We had to get our
experience as we went on, as no one
knew anything about elephants on
landing. We managed the other three
much better, and made the Captain
take the ship near in shore.-London

stated that the money had been paid him by
Wallace R. White, of Winthrop, and that he
(Swann) should not claim it. Mr.. Hartman,
of Kennebunk, testified that the same offer
had been made to him by White. James B.

~ similar statements. No business was
transacted for want of q quorum. No Re-
publican was present, and in the Senate only
one put in an appearance. In reply to in
