Accidents That Are Costly.

"You occasionally hear people find
fault because managers OF railroads do
not prevent accidents" said railroad
man In Jersey City the other day.
There may be bears among railroad
owners who rejoice in wrecking rail-
roads that they do not own, but to the
practical railroader train wreck is Q
big loss directly, besides the loss in
prestige which follows"
els the rolling stock so costlyp"
Eyes, q freight train, for instance,
that rolls down an embankment. where
half Of 1t Is burned, will give you
good idea of the loss. The average
engine is worth $1,000. A common
freight car is worth $475, or perhaps
$500. The ordinary gondolas are
worth $500 to 1926. An engine is
rarely ruined beyond repair. but o
wreck can knock $4,000 out of 1t just
as easy as rolling of log. A burned
car is ruined car, of course. and re-
pairs on those that are crushed may
cost anywhere from $50 to $500 each.
II q passenger car. such as is used
on ordinary roads, is burned, $500
goes up in smoke. These figures are
for the cars in use, and not new out Of
the shop. From this you can see that
wrecks may happen which cost COM
pany $40, 900, and yet nothing is like
ly to be said about them In the papers
unless some one gets hurt, and not
then II the railroad men can keep 1t
quiet. IN. Y San.

The Bennington Battle Monument.

The structure is to be three hundred five
feet high. An inclined base will rise above
the ground fifteen feet, on which will be set
a shaft two hundred thirty feet high, ter
minating at its apex in parabolic curve
sixty feet in height. The base will he MEM
bered with slight projections to the inter
section with the shaft. Immediately above
the base on each of three sides will be two
long and narrow piercings, which will form,
together with ornamental members, a hori-
zontal belt. The shaft will diminish, or
taper, upward, with a delicate and almost
imperceptible yelling, and at its junction
with the apex group of small and narrow
openings will be left on each of the four
sides, which, with the connecting ornamen-
tai members, will form second horizontal
belt. In connection with the monument
there will be a museum building, circular
in form, thirty-siX feet in diameter, two
stories in height. the lower floor to be di-
vided into rooms for the custodian and
dressing-rooms, and the upper floor to be
used as historical museum for trophies,
relics, etc. This circular building is to be
separated from the monument by an arch,
which is to be used as portecoChere, from
which access is to be had to the interior of
both the museum and the monument. The
latter will be supplied with an inside iron
stairway, three hundred forty feet high,
from the top of which the surrounding
country may be viewed. The material to
be used is the dark blue, fine-grained dolo-
mite found near the site. The stone is to be
laid in courses two feet high, random
lengths with split rock face. Belts and or
namental portions are to be cut and rough
hammered. The monument is to be placed
on State Arms Hill, an eminence rising one
hundred feet above the level of the valley
In its general contour it will suggest an OBJ
elisk, and though the notifications from
that form are important, it will retain much
of the same majestic simplicity of lines
