CHANCES OF BEING KILLED

In a Twenty.Four Mile R 'ilroad RIDE They
are onr in i,4aJ, 9Io.
If q man takes a ride of the average
length, which is almost twenty-four
miles, in q railway train in this coun-
try what is his chance of getting
killed? According to the interesting
report of the interstate commerce
commission just out it is one chance in
l,4ol, $40. If q young a of 90, jilted
by his sweetwheart, should determine
to commit suicide without sin by get
ting accidentally killed in a railway
accident he might do it. Certainly
he might do it. If he were to get on
n tram as u passenger and ride, ride,
ride Mt the rate of thirty-ive and one
half miles nn hour, day and night, every
hour OF every day and every day in the
year. it he had average luck he would
eventually get %surcease from the gnaw-
ing pain at his heart somewhere in the
course of passing over 35,542,2S2 miles.
for according to these official figures
one passenger is killed for every 35, 542,-
2s2 miles that u passenger is carried.
According to the same he would be in
jured in some way eight and three
quarter times, or eight times
and a bad scare. 1t is a little
better than one chance in three that
he would come to an untimely
grave in consequence of n collision. but
If he preferred TO nave n train run off
the track to kill him he would have
only n chance in nine to be satisfied.

down the smooth copper to the lower
side. This constant rubbing against
the tub and against each other polishes
them.
1t WAS the practice formerly to al
low pins of all lengths to become mixed
in the different operations, and, after
polishing, to separate them by a very
ingenious machine, hut it has been
found more economical to keep each
size to itself.
From the polishing tub the pins are
carried to the "sticker." where they
fall from a hopper on an inclined plane
in which are u number of Sits. The
| pins catch in these Sits and, hanging
by their heads. slide down the incline
to the apparatus which inserts them in
the paper.
AS une nurnpcr OF pins IN a row on
the paper and the number of Sits are
the same, an entire row is stuck at
once by an ingenious device, which
takes one pin from each slit and inserts
them all at once in the two ridges
which have been crimped in the paper
by n wheel that holds it in place to re-
ceive the pins.
AT the same time the wheel crilnps
the paper it spaces the rows, so that
wnen filled with pins the will
fold up properly.
This whole machine is so delicate in
its action that a single bent or other
wise imperfect pin will cause the ma
chine to stop feeding until the attend.
ant removes it; yet its operation is SC
rapid that one machine will stick co..
900 pins an hour.

Among the 5000, 900 people in the
United States there are probably not

aware that at the mouth of the Missis-
sippi there is n little village built upon
wooden piles standing far OUT in the

Balize, is reached from the mainland
by canoes OF boats, and its inhabitants
have to Climb q kind of pole-iadder to
get t. the doorways of their homes.
