Railroad Economy.

The Baltimore and Ohio South West
ern Railway has been experimenting
with electric motors on turntables.
Turning locomotives at divisional
points and terminals Is a service OF
much annoyance and no little expense
to railroad companies. It generally
takes four men to turn locomotive,
and while they are doing so their reg
ular work is abandoned.
Experiments were made with an
electric motor on the 6O-foot turn
table at Chillicothe with such success
that the Park Street turn-table In
Cincinnati was similarly equipped. The
result has been rather astonishing in
the matter of expense. The current
was purchased from the power plant,
and it cost on an average of less than
one-half cent for each time the table
was turned. When this same table was
operated by hand 1t cost II cents for
each engine. The yearly saving is
about $709.

In Limousin there is barren range
of low hills which lies along the divid-
ing line between the departments Of
Dordogne, Correze and Haute-Vienne,
about half way between Perigueux and
Limoges, says Popular Science Month
". The water courses show the loca-
ton of these uplands. They extend
over an area about seventy-ive miles
long and half as wide, wherein average
human misery is most profound. Dense
ignorance prevails. There is more IL
literacy than in any other part OF
France. The contrast in stature, even
with the low average of all the sur
rounding region, is clearly marked by
the dark tint. There are sporadic bits
of equal diminutiveness elsewhere to
the south and west, but none are so
extended or so extreme. Two-thirds
of the men are below five feet three
inches in height, in some Of the COM
munes, and the women are three or
more inches shorter even than this.
One man in ten is below four feet
eleven inches in stature. This is not
due to race. for several racial types
are equally stunted in this way within
the same area. 1t is primarily due to
generations of subsection to harsh
climate, to a soil which is worthless
for agriculture, to a steady diet OF
boiled chestnuts and stagnant water,
and to unsanitary dwellings in the
deep, narrow and damp valleys. Still
further proof may be found to show
that these people are not stunted by
any hereditary influence, for 1t has
been shown that children born here.

THE DINGLEY TARIFF BILL.

Just how any tariff bill will work must
necessarily be a matter of speculation
not to say guess work. So many condi-
tions impossible to foreses or control
enter into the calculation that actual
trial can only determine the results.
Mr.. Dingley thinks the new tariff bill
will increase the annual revenue about
$50, 900, 600, and his judgment in the mat
ter is as good as anybody's in the ooun.
try. But of course his Judgment is pre-
dicateu on certain conditions more OF
less uncertain. With revival of bust
ness and a consequent increase of con.
sumption probably his expectations
would be more than realized, while il
business continued dull and the purchas.
ing power of the people low the result
might fall considerably short of his an.
ticipation.
The increase of revenue which ths bill
is expected to produce will come largely
from three articles namely. sugar, raw
wool and wooden manufactures. The
duty ON sugar ia strictly revenue duty
because sugar is necessity which we dc
not produce in any considerable quantity
On certain kinds of wool the duty is a
revenue duty because we do not produces
them in this country. On the kinds that
compete with our own production it will
be at the. start revenue and protective
duty combined, for wool raising hal
fallen to a low point and we do not no "
produce any kind in amount sufficient
for our needs. But If it has the effect
expected ofssrapidly stimulating the pro.
duction of wool in this country its power
az revenue producer will constantly
diminish. The increased duty onsswoolen
manufactures twill yield an increase
probably, but just how much cannot be
foretold with much certainty, because
nobody can tell how much Importation
will be decreased by 1t. These increases
of course will be Offset to certain ex
tent by the rise in purely protective
duties on other articles, because If il
has the effect it lie intended to have
| it must decrease importation Of thoss
articles to large extent.
The average duties in the new bill will
probably be somewhat lower than in tn.
Mckinley bill of 1890. Between the
woJlsn schedules Of the two bills there il
little difference. The liron schedule il
considerably lower in the Dinaley bill.
The most striking difference between. tn,
two relates to sugar, which in the Nj
Kinley bill was on the free list but In thu
Dingley bill it is taxed at one cent I
pound.
