rl,cncv az the si~n Language.

Before spoken language was there were
signs: before speech stepped in there were
gestures: the face did duty as a revealer
Of the emotions, and the hands accom-.
panied by gesticulation. as that # ideas,
and for all the ordinary purposes of life
the coGe is amply sufficient. Wa,ch two
deaf people as they use it, They have
plenty to say and know how TO say it..
Their talk may not last more than ten
minute. but if all that talk was written
out il would cover m astonishingly largo
amount of space P)ltics, social topics,
all nav have been discussed with equal
facility.
True, the deaf make free use of the
manual alphabet in connection with signs,
but the cause lies rather IN muscular
weariness than in any inadequacy on the
part If ,he signs themselves. AS devel-
opcd Ia the schools for the deaf, the sign
language has a capacity for thought eX
preston absolutely marvellous Moreover,
il is swift, comprehensive-and yet con
densed- and above all, it is silent. A
Universally understood code Of signs
would do away with the str,dent and oft
time profane efforts to understand and be
understood, which are at once the dread
md torment of the average tourist.-De'

To Cucss the SDeel of Trains.

There is not one person in 100 Of the mill
Ions who travel on railroads in the course Of
a year who has any idea Of the speed of
train A large per cent OF even the regular
trainmen Of the country cannot tell with any
degree OF accuracy how fast train is run
ming. Frequently engineers are dispatched
on a trip over line Of railroad with instruc-
IONS to run Mt speed OF certain number
OF miles an hour The engineers do not carry
a speed Indicator, but have learned by vari-
Gus methods 20 gauge their engines so as to
make only the slightest variation from their
orders
The majority Of engineers use their driving
wheel as gauge They know its circumfer-
ence, and by counting its revolutions within
q certain time can tell very accurately the
speed at which they are running Another
method is 10 time the run between mile posts
and still another is 70 make calculations from
the number OF telegraph poles passed in a
certain time These poles, in a level country,
and where four or five wires are used, are
spaced so that they are thirty to the mile
If only single wire is used they are spaced
firm twenty five TO twenty eight 10 the mile.
The most accurate method, and the one
most in use by experienced railroad men, IS
to count the number OF rail joints tie train
passes over Ia twenty seconds The rails in
nearly all cases are thirty feet in length, and
the number passed over III twenty seconds Is
the speed per hour train is running. For
instance, If Il passenger sitting in sleeper
can count thirty clicks OF the wheels on a
rail joint in twenty seconds the train is run
ming at the speed OF thirty miles an hour. -

THAT MESSAGE.

Unless the Senate takes some steps IL
nursuance of the Presidents message
that document will virtually turn ont to
be very grim joke on the Republican
party. which, after all the lingo ut
tered in the august upper House, will be
forced 10 back out entirely or stand a
grave responsibility.
From the indications at present the
Republlcans.are likely TO postpone action
after so clearly, in strict partisan spirit,
rejecting a treaty arranged after a con
ference in q joint commission.
The President states his case so plainly
that a way-faring man can comprehend
II. The treaty Of 1918, on which the
Republicans fall back as an excuse for
their performances, was subject to dh-
ferent interpretations by the two coun-
tries. and had for years been fraught
with constant and growing difficulties to
obvlate which the commission was ap-
pointed.
The treaty rejected by the Senate was
we'll understood as settling all difficulties
with perfect justice to each country, and
the Republicans, in refusing ratify it to,
uepested no amendments but merely
posted themselves, on stubborn policy
sof obstruction in order to deprive the
Democratic Administration of the credit
Of a great and wise measure.
Aside from the patriotism and the
right of the treaty, and before looking at
the diplomatic character of the message
the fact is apparent that the President
has made brilliant and telling political
stroke, and administered TO his enemies
a"counter" that they keeniy feel and that
was so surprising as to be stunning. lie
points out the duty of protecting the
American fishermen and maintaining the
dignity and honor OF the nation in an
other way since the Senate declines the
one he offered them, and asks for meas
ures In pursuance of the authority vested
In him by former act authorizing the
executive to use a retaliatory policy to-
wards Canada. We grant Canada the
right to ship dutiable goods across oul
territory In bond but she refuses to grant
Us similar privileges, and the President
desires to stop the transit OF such goods
in the United States until our petulen'
neighbor comes to terms.
With his accustomed directness he in
sists on firm policy IN that direction
and thus the game of politics stands al
present between the Democratic AID
m,nistra,ion and the Republican part,
with the latter completely cbeckmated a
apoint where the dignity OF the country
and the rights Of her citizens are invol
we'd.
Truly the Republicans. relying on th'
ghost of great reputation and the falls
cry of protection OF labor, have founl
themselves matched, and Over-matchet
just by the fearless honesty and intelli
gence of a patriot, who in his Difficult
position has been shrewd enough to Sc,
the needs of the country and thrown tn,
responsibility OF wrong on the shoulder
of his opponents.
The treaty was so perfectly plain tina
but few difficulties could have arisen
and the methods for settling them wer
simple.and effective.
Having rejected 1t and left the much
beloved fishermen OF New England VI
