The State Board OF Health is to be
commended for taking steps lookin to
the prevention OF cutting ice for domestic
use on ponds and rivers where skaters
congregate.
This is frequently done and no one
can estimate correctly the resultant evil.
There is a good deal of filth in much of
the natural ice that is marketed, and ii
finds its way into the stomachs OF the
consumers IN quantities that would dis
guest them If it were revealed.
Natural ice is not always thus con-
tamlnated, of course, because in many
instances precautions are taken against
II, but there is enough impure ice in the
market TO warrant the State Board OF
Health to take the action that it has and
there Ia truth in the concluding paragraph
in the circular ii has issued which de-
clares that prolonged freezing does not
destroy certain pathogenic bacteria, and
the unavoidable contamination OF Ice, by
expectoration and otherwise, when il Is
used for skating, constitutes source of
danger which the law enables local boards
TO prevent.

FASTEST IN THE WORLD.
Splendid Run of the Readings Fly
err to Atlantic City.
AVERAGED 70 MILRs AN II rR

AVERAGED ~ MILRs AN II lR
The fastest regular train In the world
was yesterday (July % put into service
on the Readings Atlantic city line, and
for the opening day the company scored
u rare triumph in a phenomenal run,
making the entire distance from Camden
10 the shore in AZ minutes, or at an aver
age speed o; 20 miles an hour. The run
was made in minutes less than the reg
ular schedule, but so evenly and smooth
ly did The train glide over the solid road
bed that nobody on board, except profes-
sional railroad men, knew what IA record
breaking run was being made.
The new train il scheduled To carry
passengers from this city TO the shore Ia
30 minutes. OF that time eight minutes
are allowed for the ferry TO Camden and
transfer to the cars there, leaving so min
utes for the run OF 55t miles to Atlantic
City. The boats leave Chestnut and
South streets, In this city, at 40 z. M,
and the train is scheduled TO leave Cam
den at As, arriving at Atlantic City at
40.
TnE RECORD BREAKING RUN BRoAN.
A slight delay at the ferry made the
train 2 minutes late in leaving Camden,
and il was just S.50I when Engineer
Charles FAIL pulled the throttle valve OF
the big Baldwin compound engine No
1927, and began the record breaking run.
There were five cars in the train, Pail,
man, II combination and three ordinary
passenger cars. All five cars were filled
with passengers.
The run through the outskirts of Cam
den, over the West jersey tracks, and
through nearby villages, was necessarily
made at slightly reduced rate OF speed
but by the time Stratford, 10 miles out,
was reached, the train was literally flying.
There was no pctceptible let up until the
meadows on the other side % Pleasant
vile were reached, and few minutes
later the train elided into the Atlantic
City depot al 4 3St, one and half min
utes ahead OF the schedule time, aud As
minutes after leaving Camden, having
made the run at an average speed of 20
miles an hour.
NEARLY 90 MLEs AN HOUR.
While the 4 minutes were made up all
along the route there were sections when
speed OF nearly 30 miles an hour was
reached According to the regular sched-
ule the seven miles from Brigautine juno
ton to Pleasantville are made in five min
utes, or al a speed Of 81 miles an hour. |
The 26 miles from Winslow Junction 10 !
Plessantyille are scheduled for . min
utes, or "a % miles an hour, and in this
run il is safe to say that the Speed was
nearly, II not quite, at the rate OF so
miles an hour for that distance, as ii Gov.
ers the section OF the read best adapted
