Young men all around the world
should read the returns for the past
year from Monte Carlo. The receipts
were over s2,970.000, the expenses
81 200. 900. One item of expense is
$780, 900 for preventing suicides and
another Of ~ .Oc0 for travel money to
enable unfortunates who had lost
their all to reach their homes. The
profit is nearly 81. 900, 900, but there
were only thirty-fve suicides during
the year and all the profits merely rep
resented what q few men pay for the
qualification of their vices. Men may
give up drinking they may tear them
selves away from the chains Of sirens ;
but it seems as though there was no
cure for the passion Of gambling but
death itself.

WATER METERS.

In New-York City the use of water meters
has been blessing to the public. as we'll as a sat
isfaction to the city government. There are over
10000 taps in the city. $4,000 of these being
metered and the revenue has considerably in
creased since their introduction. The daily con-
sumption OF water per capita In NewYork Is
1913 gallons c. w. Birdsall. chief engineer OF
the Croton Aqueduct declares that the only way
10 stop waste and regulate the use OF water is
TO place meters all service pipes. The JUS
tice and consistency Of selling all water by
meter measurement is now practically acknow-
edged bv all the leading water-works engineers.
There are nine companies In this city that are
now manufacturing water meters. and very
large amount Of capital is invested In the indus
try The first meter was made In 1890, and they
have been used in New-York for thirty years.
Meters, however, did not come into general use
until after 1890 Since thar time no city Is con-
sidered I'D -to-date without them.

CLOTH AND WOOLLEN GOODS.

In it runs into the hundreds of millions. 1t
Is impossible to give anything like correct fig

1t is certain. however that the business has
fallen off materially since 1884. The Wilson
bill drove many New-York houses out of bust

States were 347. OO6 1913 pounds, while the sales
Tor last yeare were only 244.2l 300. Raw wool
is admitted duty free. but there Is an ad valorem

CAR-COTPLERS.

The automatic car-coupler Is comparatively
new device Ten years ago there were few If
any in use. The extension OF rallroading, now
ever had outgrown the old-fashioned method or
connecting cars by links and pins, and coupling
and uncouping them by hand. Accidents event
ualy became so numerous as to render some
better means of connecting imperative
necessity. hence the development Of the auto
matte coupler.
Congress, about two years ago. passed law
requiring all cars to be equipped with automatic
couplers by January l. 1897. AS. however, there
were serious obstacles in the way, the time was
subsequently extended at the urgent request OF
the railroad companies to January l. 1898 Prior.
though, to the passage of the law. some or the
companies had moved in the matter Of their
own yoliton, and the results were so beneficial
as to leave no room for doubt of the necessity
for their example to be generally followed.
In 1889 there were only 2334S passenger cars
and 1851 freight cars equipped with automatic
couplers. In 1894 the number f passenger cars
so equipped had increased /, 31,9lG. and Of
freight cars to 81 1886. The resultant decrease
in accidents was notable. The number of persons
employed to every one killed had risen in the
mean time from 80 TO 42S while the percentage
of injured to total employees had fallen from 80
to 80 1t Is estimated that during the current
year about 100000 old cars and 100000 new cars
will have to be equipped in order to comply with
the law The average cost Of equipping a car
with automatic coupers is SIS; so that at least
sol 800 600 must be expended in car couplers
before the end Of the year.
While car-coupler manufacturers. so-called. are
numerous. there are only about ten that actually
do business. All of these represented in
Greater New York. and their combined business
here last year amounted to about S3.OOO,0OO. The
foregoing calculation shows however that the
sales will probably greatly exceed those figures
during the year just entered into.
