ENGINEERS AND ACCIDENTS,
A Superstition AbOut "Three Times
md Out"

A man employed in one of the rail
way offices in Washington has for years
been collecting newspaper accounts of
railway accidents of all kinds, says Lo-
connective Engineering. He now has
thousands of these narratives, and from
an attentive study of them he has come
to the conclusion that no locomotive
engineer ever came alive out of his third
disaster. This is all nonsense, of course,
but there may be a basis to truth in the
calculations.
1t seems that this belief is widely
held by engineers themselves, and the
maker of the scrapbook asserts that it is
so well supported by experience as to be
almost as demonstrate as the law of
gravitation or any other natural re gula-
ton. He does not insist that engineers
are never killed in their first or second
accident, but he does maintain with
great seriousness that the man who has
had two "close calls" will if he is wise
abandon railroading and make his liv-
ing some other way. 1t is not difficult
to see how such a superstition should
have arisen, for the chances that an
engineer will three times survive the
perils of collisions and derailments,
greater for him than for any one else
on train, are manifestly close to the
vanishing point. To suppose that his
danger is greater in the third than in
the first wreck is, of course, merely an
other form of the delusion that "luck
is bound to change"
