Accidents to Railway Men,.

An article in the current number OF
the Forum on The Slaughter of Rail-
way Employees" contains some infor-
nation that is really startling. There
were employed in the year 1890 by all
the railroads in this country 749,301
men, of whom 2 2,451 were killed and
22,396 injured by various forms of ac-
cident. This means one death for
every BOG and one person injured for
every 80 employed. As most of the
accidents occurred to those engaged
in the operation of the roads-that is,
in the moving of trains-the proper
ton of accidents to the number OF
men employed was even more start
ling. The number of employees of this
class was 1922, the number OF
deaths 1,469 and of injuries not fatal
13,172-that is, one death in every 1Os
and one injured to every - men en-
ployed.

Crops Never Fail

In both Washington and Oregon
there are no crop failures. The bot.
tom lands of Washington yield pro,

lutely incredible to those who do not
know by actual experience. one acre
OF bottom land, for instance, will yield
to the farmer in vegetables more clear
profit than many acres in wheat. even
when prices are good and the Weld
large. 1t is an axiom that crops never
fail in Washington. The immirra.

few years has been very large. AZ lie
advantages become more widely
known, immigration ough, 90, and

the too abundant disadvantages OF the

Astral Pictures.

In the course of Il lecture which
Mrs. Annie Besant recently delivered
dealing with the subject Of apparitions,
she said that what science meant in
talking of ether was what the Theoso-
phist meant when he spoke of astral
matter, only in the one case it had
been subjected to experiments and
was understood, while in the other
case the experiments were at present
OF the most elementary character; !;
and, although most promising for the
future, they were not yet very reliable
i'll the explanation of certain curious
and abnormal phenomena. Now they
got number of apparitions which
had this common characteristic--the
we're unconscious. A person awoke
and saw form which said nothing
and did nothing except stand there.
1t generally looked somewhat mourn
iul and disconsolate, and speedily dis
appeared. This was a most unsatis-
factory kind of thing afforded no ex.
PLANTATION OF its presence, and there
was nothing to show why it came.

SwAUK MINING DISTRICT, !

June I6, 1892.
ED. Standard:
In compliance with my promise to
write you at intervals regarding this
mining country, will describe my
trip, my arrival and my impressions OF
this mineral belt.
We arrived at Cle-Elum station, N.
p. r. r., on the morning OF the 9th
inst. and put up at mine host Reeds
hotel, opposite the railroad station.
This station by-the-bye is also the
junction for the famous Roslyn coal
mines. Expecting our freight daily
from Olympia, it finally came on the
morning of June llth, minus some
very important articles needed in our
business here. Being unable to pro-
cure conveyance Sunday, we did not
get started until Monday, the 18th.
The road for ten miles leads through
pine-clad rolling hills in every direc-
ton, dotted with verdant fields OF
wheat and farm houses. To the north,
south and west can be seen the snowy
and rugged peaks of the Cascade
range, in some places quite barren and
in others covered with sparse growth

they contain scarcely anything of

sure whether it was real or fanciful,
was not sure whether he himself was
awake or asleep. The apparition ap-
peared at night, frightened him for a
moment, and the next moment it was
gone. This kind OF apparition was
nothing more than what Theosophy
described as a picture or revelation in
the astral light. The modus operandi
was this. There was an intense
thought in the mind of some person.
That thought was real energy, a real
force, quite as real as electricity. 1t
was quite as real as an electric force
that could be sent through space; /;
and it was not without significance
that whenever they got thought-action
they got electrical union. Their medi-
cal man would tell them that, when
there was thought in connection with
the brain, there was electrical action
in connection with the brain. When
they thought intensely on the physi-
cal plane they set free electricity, and,
on the astral plane, they set up cur
rent through this astral matter. They
thought intensely of person, and the
current set up in astral matter or
ether went in the direction of that
person as certainly as they could send
n current along the wire when they
wished it to reach distant town.
This set OF etheric vibrations, reach
ing the person who was intensified in
their thought, affected the person by
the same medium, and, in some cases,
appeared as an objective reality. In
very many cases only as mental i'm
preston was the person thought Of.
Where were the conditions under
which this unconscious picture was
produced? 1t was constantly pro-
duced where a person was dying, and
where the dying person was exceed.
ing desirous of seeing some absent
friend or relative. 1t most often hap
pened between those closely united
by ties of blood or of affection. Most
of these astral pictures were between
close relatives or close friends, and the
evidence was, to her mind, indubitable
that such occurrences did take place,
for they might find, over and over
again instances in which the person
seeing the apparition had made note
at the time, OF the day, the hour, and
the place; and 1t had been subse-
quently found that at that precise
time friend had passed through the
change men call death" and that
the news that was thus carried by
these astral vibrations was news and
AS true as real as thought it had
flashed along the electrical wire.

Totals.
Kind OF Accident.
Killed. | Injured.


This shows that by far the largest
proportion of these accidents occur to
men engaged in coupling and uncoup.
ling trains. As accidents of this kind
are in measure preventable by the
use of automatic couplers and other
new devices, they cry loudly for q
more rapid adoption of these devices
than the roads are showing. Efforts
have been made, and are being more
frequently renewed as the facts be-
come known, to compel the adoption
of these devices by law, and in resist
ing this the roads urge that these
devices are now being applied as rapid
ly as they could be under compulsion,
but this is hardly borne out by the
facts. The statistics gathered show
that there were in use in 1890 a total
29,928 locomotives, 1892 OF which were
added during the year, though the in
crease of engines fitted with automatic
couplers was only 733. The total cars
of all kinds in use was 1,l64,18S, Of
which 95,633 were added during the
year, but only 34,7O6 were supplied
with couplers. So that the increase
of the use of life-saving devices did not
even keep pace, or begin to, with the
increase of equipment. The COM
panies certainly cannot long prevent
the adoption of compulsory measures
unless they make better showing of
progress. They are destroying life
unnecessarily and ruthlessly if they
fail to take measures, as rapidly as
they can be taken, now that these
measures are known and within their
reach, to protect those who are carry
ing on their business at so great q
risk.
