The official summary of the accidents
and casualties which occurred in 1891
upon the railroads of the United King
dom has just been issued by the Board of
Trade. From this it appears that of
800, 000, 900 passengers carried during
the year only five were killed in acct
dents, the smallest actual number and
proportion recorded since 1873, when
six we're killed. The number of pas
sengers injured in accidents during the
year was 875. Of men employed by the
railway c~ouApanies, twelve were killed
and 154 injured in accidents, 2 much
higher proportion. The list of passengers
killed and injured by trains otherwise
than III accidents) is much heavier, in
Guiding ninety-eight dead and 1877 in
iured. OF these, sixteen were killed by
falling between carriages and platforms,
fourteen by falling on the platforms or
the line, and fifteen by falling out of
carriages during the travelling of the
trains. Crossing the line at stations was
fatal to twenty-threc, and ninety-eight
were injured by the closing of carriage
doors. Causes other than train accidents
killed no fewer than 537 of the servants
Of companies or contractors, while NOR
than 5000 were injured.

Through the vigorous propaganda OF
Colonel Charles j. Murphy, special agent
in Europe of the United States Agricul-
tural Department Tor the introduction of
Indian corn as a food supply, Germany
has developed great interest in the
cereal. At a meeting of the Association
of German Bakers in Berlin a report was
read on the use of corn and its adoption
was recommended as a food staple. This
may mean a heavy demand for American
corn in Germany. The German Govern
ment is putting up a corn mill plant, and
it is probable that corn will DON be
adopted for use in the German army.
The Emperor takes greet interest in this
question, and one of the first loaves
baked by Colonel Murphy's agents was
eaten al the royal table. German millers
are already ordering milling machinery
to grind corn in anticipation OF the de-
mand for meal.

The First Railway Station.

Worlds Fair Commissioner John
Boyd Thacher, of Albany, N. Y, be-
1ieves that he has got upon the track of
the first railway station W. erected In
America, and if the structure proves to
be such he intends to have it transported
to Chicago. The station was used at the
Albany terminus Of the Albany and
Schenectady Railroad, and up to 1912
stood at the corner of Broad and Van
Vechten streets, (now Third avenue).
At that date it was removed to its pre-.
sent location. It is one STORY in height
and about twenty-five feet square.-Nen

1886, the Loire rose twenty feet in two
or three hours, a railroad viaduct which
cost 5000, 600 francs was swept away
and the total damage done by this stream
alone was estimated at $40, 900, 900.
The short rivers of Italy must be
credited with a great deal of damage;
1854 inundations OF Rome by the Tiber
are noted since the foundation OF the
CITY, while the Pc and other stree.
have been equally mischievous. Th
Danube has experienced several notabl
foods. In 1879, the great storm yea
the city of s~zedegin, in Hungary, "
almost totally destroyed; out ot d
houses only 331 remained stand'
seventy-seven persons were dro"'.
and many thousand rendered homeless.
In 1911 the Danube destroyed twenty
two villages near Pesth, and two years
later a Turkish corps of 1000 men were
surprised on a small island near Widdin,
and all persisted. In the same summer
over 5000 inhabitants Of Silesia were
drowned by the floods, while 1000 per-
ished, and in Poland in 1919 40G houses
in Dantzic were destroyed ano)manY
lives were lost by a food in the Vistula.
The British islands have been repeat
eddy devastated by foods, and the in
stances are frequent of great damage
being done by high water in the Thames,
the Severn and the Scottish rivers. The
destruction of the forests in Spain,
France, Germany and Great Britain, nc
doubt, had much to do with these de
structive foods, and the policy of extern
sive tree planting will probably in the
course of a century do something to
remedy the evil.-st. Louis Globe. Demo

Carroll D. Wright in the Forum pays
a deserved tribute to the moral character
of factory girls, undergrad as they are.
A generation oil two ago some of the best
young women in New England found
employment in the big cotton mills and
factories, and Charles Dickens was so
forcibly impressed by their good stand
ing in community that he violated his
sule of never praising anything American

A mechanical appliance which, &C.
cording to the New York Post, promises
to revolutionize wagon transportation
has been invented by a Baltimore ma
chinist. The motive power is supplied
BY d ten-horse power gasoline engine
which is placed under the floor Of the
wagon. The following Is description
Of the machinery employeds "On the
side of the engine is a solid metallic fly
wheel forty-eight inches in diameter.
Resting against the fat surface or side OF
tits fy-wheel Is a friction wheel, whose
circumference Is of leather, which re-
volves at right angles to the dy-wheel.
Al similar friction wheel, being on the
same shaft, revolves in unison with tAa
first friction wheel, and turns a metal
disk in the same way that the fy-wheel
turns the first fri~ction-wheel. The
metal disk in its revolutions works o
chain similar TO 4 bicycle chain, passing
around q toothed wheel, which is fixed
10 the hind hub. By the mechanism
used the power il not transmitted from
the fy-wheel by means Of a belt, a. il
customary, but from the fat side Of the
y-wheel to the friction-wheel. To
regulate the speed, the shaft around which
the friction wheels revolve can be adj
iusted so that the first friction-wheel can
be moved from the circumference of the
Hy.wheel towards its centre, while the
second friction-wheel moves nearer the
circumference Of the metal disk Tue
gasoline, contained In a tank under the
rear seat of the wagon, is fed to the en-
CINE By means of air pressure. Under
the front seat is a water.tank of six gall
Ions capacity, which is the quantity re-
quired for a days supply. the steering
apparatus is very simple. The FROM
axle is permanently fixed 10 its place,
but the parts running througa the hubs
IRE made to turn backward and forward,
thus turning the wheels il any desired
direction. BY means Of levers the driver
starts, steers, and stops the wagon az
will. Toe engine can be operated vt an
expense Of one cent an noar. A speed
Of twenty miles an hour can be attained.
The total cost Of such i wagon, weigh.
Ing 5000 pounds, would be $500. The
inventor hopes to do away with the use

In the autumn of 1875, when a series of
severe storms and great precipitation
occurred all over the peninsula, and I'M
the mountains, which constitute its
boundary TO the north, over 20, 900 per-
sons were drowned, 600, 900 were ren-
dered homeless, and many millions of
property were destroyed.
With the exception of the Danube,i
the Rhine and the Russian rivers the
streams Of Europe are mostly short, Duo
all the more dange.ous on that account,
for, although almost dry In the summer
season, in times of heavy rain they be-
come torrents which do immense damage.
The Spanish peninsula has suffered terri-
',bly at times from the floods in its short
and rapid streams. In 1917 over 80, O00
persons persisted in Catalonia from a sud-
den rise in the rivers Of northeast Spain
in 1887 1000 were drowned in Na7arre.
sTorca, a city O. Tarc.a, in Spain, was
totally destroyed in 1902, while the
great floods OF 1879 in Mureia, Audalu-
