The Evils of Railway Pools.

Leading railway men are beginning
to discuss whether the present system
of pooling earnings is either polite or
profitable. Indications are cropping
out in many quarters that the men who
control the great trunk lines are grow
ing more and more restive under the
restraints of the system, and to doubt
seriously whether it pays in the long
run to enter into pool arrangements.
The pool is costly method of adjust
ing traffic differences and maintaining
traffic equilibrium, and its burdens
fall more heavily on the great lines
than any good it results in can COM
pensate. 1t is, moreover, a vexatious
system, complex in its details, expen-
sive in execution, and to all but the
weakest of the lines sharing its sup
posed benefits, unsatisfactory in its re-
suits.
The Pennsylvania Company is be-
lieved to be at the bottom of a reported
scheme to break up the system, so far
as the Eastern lines are concerned.
President Roberts, of that company, is
open in his hostility to the system, and
not averse to any measures that will
wipe it out of existence. He believes
it is expensive, unsatisfactory, and its
only good is to bolster up weak COM
peting lines at the expense of the older
companies, and also of the public. He
sees no reason why the great trunk
lines should devote portion of their
receipts to exc out the incomes of the
weaker ones, or why the public should
be taxed to maintain rates high enough
to accomplish it. To the end that the
main lines may bring rates low enough
within the pool to discourage further
cut outside of it, once the poolis broken
the Pennsylvania people have, it is be-
lieved, brought about the recent re-
duction in east boand freights. Once
the pool accepts the rate, the next step
may be to withdraw the Pennsylvania
from the pool, and then let the ''survi-
val of the fittest" doctrine be applied
with all its force. That the leading
companies are tired of the vexatious
system there can be no doubt, and
now that the time has come when SO
many of the weak sisters of the pool
are tottering on the verge of. bank
ruptcy, and incapable of maintaining a
war of rates, it is regarded as fitting
season to rid the trunk lines of the pool
abomination. To the public the aboli-
tion of the system would be boon, if
for no other reason than that it would
relieve the newspaper reading public
of its daily dose of pool squabblings,
rate cuttings, and general railway de-
moralization that now fills the press.
The pool system is not, and never can
be for the benefit Of the public. As
soon as the Western pool was broken,
and single road left free to conduct
its business in its own way, the west
ern people got fast mail. Under
similar conditions other sections would
get it. Pools result in high rates, in
the giving of unearned money to rival
roads which comes out of the public,
and, viewed from every standpoint, the
system is against public policy, and
detrimental to good. The sooner the
great lines break it up the better

Ventilation.

1t is true that q cold draught is dan
gerous. DIR. Angus Smith, the great
English authority on air, says: 1T
slays like sword" But impure air
is no better, and if one causes pneumo-
mia the other creates consumption.
Bringing air through the furnace fyes
is all very well, provided it is taken
from pure source of supply. But If,
as in most cases, the cold-air box of
the furnace ends over a damp, dirty
area adjoining one of our unswept and
filthy streets, the supply is far from
wholesome. DR.. Loomis and other
specialists have since pointed out the
bad effects of New York dust upon the
human lungs, yet the dusty air from
our streets is sucked into 10, 900 furnace
cold-air boxes, and is the chief lung.
food of our population. Because this
air has been warmed it does not follow
that it is wholesome.
1t is perfectly easy to prevent draft
by raising the sash few inches, and,
placing narrow board in the place be-
low, SO that the cold air will enter be-
tween the upper and lower sash, and
be detected toward the ceiling without
causing any annoy ance TO persons in
the room. There are number of pat
ented devices for the same purpose, but
the arrangement here described can be
adopted by anyone at the cost of few
cents. The chief difficulty about ven-
tilating most dwelling houses is that
there are not sufficient means of carry
ing off the foul and heated air. If pro-
vision is supplied for doing this, then
plenty of fresh air will leak in through
the window castings and cracks, as
most of our houses are not tightly
built. Great benefit may be ATTAINED
from open fire-places, which, to the
esthetes, are coming largely into use.
All fre-boards should be abolished.
The art of ventilation las been called
one Of the lost arts, if indeed it ever
was an entirely developed art. In our
modern houses and flats, with their
masses of upholstering and decoration
Y to obstruct the sunlight and prevent
free circulation Of air, and with the
many sources of impurity, such as
cooking, washing and plumbing appli-
ances, and still more the gaslights and
steam heating apparatus, the necessity
for attention to ventilation becomes
daily apparent. The almost universal
prevalence Of catarrh, and the worn
out, wearied look Of Americans which
Herbert Spencer noted, may be justly
charged to the bad ventilation Of our
houses, and it is time our people should
take hold Of the matter promptly.
