TIE OCEAN CARRYING TRADE.-A
New York letter says /; $50 far az
the ocean carrying trade is concerned
it must now be acknowledged New
York has ceased to be an American
port. The tact IL humilisting to ones
American pride, bat the statistics OF
the past year tell their own story.
Thus, while British, Belgian, AuS-
trian, Danish, Dutch, French, Ger
man, italian, Norwegian, Portuguese,
Spanish, swedish and even Russian
vessels divide among themselves some
90, ,000, 900 of freIghts and grain alone
within the period mentioned, not q
solitary bushel Of grain, nor q barrel
Of provisions, went abroad from this
harbor under the American flag.
This is going from bad to worse, inas-
muc b asduring the year previous. out
OF total Of 11s, s,346, 1913 bushels oi
grain stuffs yrom New York Amerl-
can vessels had at least 1,S29, 9,486
Again, in 1880 there were seven ma
tionalities that carried less than We
did. but in 1881 all these have bound
cd ahead, and left the stars and stripes
literally nowhere. I repeat therefore
this has ceased to be an American
port, 80 far IS the oceans cOmmercs
is concerned. The British, as usual
get the lions share Of last years bus
ineSs, their proportion Of grain freights
amounting to about SO per cent. Of
the grand total against 81 per cent.
the year previous. The NorwegianH
are next on the list, Notwithstanding
the fact that thOir trade is wholly in

Dl. Halls Journal Of Health has
some severe words against the gym
nasium a. q means of exercise in OuI
leading educational institutions. The
Obiectlons, however, must be under
stood to be against excess in exercise
-as well as the extremes 70 which ball
playing, boating, ETC., are carried re.
Sulting in "'athlstic feebleness" instead
Of athletic strength.
Young men are frequently to be met
with who seem to have an excessive
pride of muscular development ; the
great development is confined, how.
ever, to an undue enlargement of
the muscles of the upper portions Of
the arms, at tho expense Of the mus
cles Of the chest and Of the general
health.
The prominent physicians of our
cities have ouch patients frequently.
They usually come to ask advice IN
regard to some unaccountable lang
trouble.
They peint to their arms, and ask
how is it possible that q man can swing
q dumb-bell weighing fifty pounds and
have weak lungs, with splitting of blood
and other unfavorable symptoms. 1t
is the easiest thing in the world, and
the most natural result of such violent
exercise. This ''athletio EXERCISE
craze has come to be national calam-
ity. 1t is ipjuring some of the best
young men in the country.
Every gymnasium In the country
should be abolished, says the Journal
Of Health, not but that there are some
good features about them, but the evil
resulting from gymL astic exercises, as
ordinarily practiced, does more harm
than good. The professional gym
mast is always short-lived, The average
tenn OF such life being less than SIX
years.

TEE BLOCK 6YsTEM.-We have
heretofore referred TO the "bloCk"
system which the PennsylvaniA Rail-
road Company uses on all ita roads.
Had 1t been in use on the New York
on Friday night the terrible accident
could not have occurred. On the
PonnSylvanlA road the whole distance
is divided into @blocks," each block
being provided with q signal station.
Between Philadelphia & Newark, N. j.,
there are sixty of these. Between
Newark and Jersey City, whore trains
run with greater frequency, there are
ten. They are not anywhere along
the whole road, more than four miles
apart. Each station is provided with
q three-fold signal, with ample tele~
graphic connections. This signal is
erected directly over the track, in full
view Of the engine driver. He must
NOT pass from one block to the next
until this signal tells him that tho way
is clear. The signal consists Of a
frame, in the centre Of which is = cir
cular opening about as big as the head
of barrel. This is SO arranged as to
display white, red or green as may be
wanted. Red means that the train
must stop, for there is danger of OBJ
struction. White means that the next
block is clear and that the train must
90 on. Green means that the green
flags which adorn the rear end of 9
train have recently passed on and that
the engine driver must proceed with
caution until he comes to q station
which displays white light
Whether the blocks are short or long,
no train is allowed to 60 on a BLOCK
until that block 10 reported by tele
graph to be clear. Thus there is ne
danger that one train will tun into the
rear of another.
