LIMIT OF SPEED BY STEAM
The Nerves of the Engineer VIII Fix
the Boundary Line-shad-
ows Ahead.

An old locomotive engineer, in reply
20 the statement that $50 miles an hour
was one of the possibilities of future
engines for a 150-mile gait, but they
cant build the engineers. The strain
on the nerves at very high speeds is
something terrific. and anything over
50 miles nm hour is pace which jars
every nerve in the body. The average
locomotive man is apt to break down
under the influence of many spurts AT
even 65 miles an hour. After such an
ordeal he is completely unhinged, jump
ing when he hears unexpected noises,
like hysterical woman. BY those who
have passed through this experience
II Is believed that the strain comes
mainly through the sight. The engi-
neer has to look straight ahead, but Mt
the same time, as il has been expressed,
che sees things whizzing past on both
sides out of the tail of his eye, and it is
as il something had hold of the optic
nerve and was pulling it out like
rubber band" Shadows are the terror
Of the locomotive engineer. A bird may
fit across the headlight and throw
shadow down the track as big as box
car. OF course, it is gone in an instant,
but in just that heartbeat the nerves
of the engineer have been given shock
that they may not recover from in
week. The new electric headlights are
said to be the worst kind of spook pro-
ducers. They cast such sharp shadows
that bug moving over the glass will
give the engineer the impression of
COW lying just in front of the pilot. Al
very high speeds such nm experience
conjures up visions of sudden death and
gives sledge-hammer blow TO every
nerve center in the body of the engineer
Old engineers say that the speed OF
1oC miles an hour is beyond the sus-
tanned endurance of the man at the
lever. and with q speed of $50 miles
the human machine would go mad in
h week

The announcement that all the old
election officers in Kentucky are to be
replaced by new ones selected by the
&Goebel side Of the scrap for the gov
ernorshiD is an indication that the
regular nominee realizes that he is
UP against a pretty stiff game. 1t is
by no means certain that Kentucky
would give the Democrats a landslide
evensif the dove of peace tapped har-
enormously over the various factions of
the party. With two influential Gle
ments of Democracy at daggers' points
and the Republicans assidious'y
searching for 1900 Indications it is
quite obvious that Goebel as we'll as
Ex-Governor Brown, will not have an
easy time in the gubernatorial race in
Kentucky. Whether or not the Ges-
pera'te expedient to which the Goebel-
1ates are resorting will prove effective
remains TEN to be seen. Under the various

Al HEALTH CONGRESS.

The New York Journal suggests an
International Health Congress to agree
upon international rules for the regu
lation Of sanitary matters and the con-
troll Of infectious and contagious dis
eases. If the subject were approached
J in practical and Intelligent manner
! more good could be accomplished than
I has followed the negotiations of the
spectacular peace conference, which
recently adjourned with three distinct
war clouds above the horizon of inter
national affairs.
In presenting the claims Of an, inter
national health congress it would be
possible to appeal to the selfish inter
ests of the nations which would natu-
rally participate in such an undertake
ing. The best interests OF every civ
ilized nation would undoubtedly be en-
HANGED by the adoption Of uniform
methods of dealing with sanitary ques-
tons. Under such an administration
of affairs it would be possible to make
nearly every portion Of the inhabited
globe immune against those infectious
and contagious diseases which exist
+
thy conditions. In this connection the
Journal says:
If the lesser and semi -civilized na-
tons Will not dig sewers, or use d;sin-
fectants, Or clean up their back yards
some international health commission
er should be empowered to do for
them what General Wood has done fer
B Santiago.
The refusal of any nation to obey
the sanitary regulations agreed upon
would then mean the quaran time Of the
culprit by the combined armies and
1llvles Of the greater powers.
The same isolation which is now
forced upon a negligent family should
be forced against a negligent nation.
~ Local measures of precaution are no
longer sufficient. Most Individual
questions are rapidly becoming inter
NATIONAL
inasmuch as such congress would
be more practical than spectacular it
is doubtful whether it will meet with
so much popular approval as the peaee
congress. Should it be undertaken in a
proper spirit, however. there can be no
doubt that its influence for good won d
be far-reaching.

TRANSPORT VESSELS.
Interview With a WelI-knOwn Me-
chanIcaI Engineer.

Mr.. aud Mrs. Charles A. Baechtold, of
Louisville, we're the guests OF Mr.. and
Mrs. Eugene Haynes Sunday. Mr..
Baechtold, who is the nephew of Mr..
Haynes, is one of the best mechanical
engineers in the country. During the
Spanish war he was in the government
service and had much to do with the
fitting up OF the transport vessels to con.
vey troops to Cuba and Porto Rico. He
said that many of the vessels utilized for
this purpose were cattle ships and in
cleaning them out for service tons Of dis
infectants had to be used. In some of
the vessels bones, hides and the tails of
animals were found. Many of the ships
were 30 filthy that the bulkheads had to
be opened and they were sunk in the
stream to allow the water to run through
them and clean them out The two new
troopships, the Grant and Sheridan,
which called from New York to Manila
with soldiers the other day, he said were
among the finest vessels of their class in
in the world and are fitted with all the
convenienCes Of the best ocean liners.

Politics are beginning to warm up in
this county. The Legislative race is be-
ginning to assume shape and interest.
1t is foregone conclusion that John
P. Haswell will seek the republican re-
nomination for representative and that
he will have no strong opposition.
The democrats are already beginning
to bring out their faYorites. M. Blain,
of Stephensport, pillar of the party,
and man known to have fine qualities
as a campaigner is spoken Of in connec-
ton with the nomination. d. @. Moor
man, of Glendeane, life-long democrat
and safe, conservative, honest, straight
forward man is also spoken Of and it is
thought that the big fight will lay be-
tween the friends of these two men.

TIcKLEs THE GROUND.
Dick May Does Not Believe in Close
Cultivation of the Weed.

In an interview with Dick May, the
other day, he said he was thoroughly
convinced that it was mistake to pillow
tobacco.
Last year he raised 300 pounds Of to-
bacco on two and oBe-balf acres of land.
After planting it he plowed it three
times, merely skimming over the
ground.
He breaks the ground in February and
lets 1t lay until March II the grass gets
too high in the field he cuts in up with
a disc harrow.
In planting he lays the ground off and
puts about handful Of stable manure in
the hill. He covers this up and then
sp,inkles a little fertilizer on this and
then plants his tobacco. He says every.
thing lays In preparing the ground. The
proper time to burn plant beds, accord
ing to Mr.. May, is in the fall.

Commemoration of that event Manager
Nolte Of Sulzer's had handsome United
