Safety Appliances.

The period during which the railroads
of the country are required to equip their
cars with safety brakes and couplers ex-
pires on January LIST next. After that
date it will be the duty of the Interstate
Commerce Commission, according to the
law, to c,use the prosecution of all road,
failing to equip their cars and engine with
the necessary apparatus. When this act was
passed in 1898 it was intended to become
operative January 1, 1898, but an extern
ion of two years was made on account of the
fact that many of the roads had been un-
able to provide the machinery demanded
by the law. No futher extensions of the
time will be made, and the first OF the year
all freight cars will be supposed to be
equipped with automatic couplers working
by impact and which can be uncoupled
without the necessity of men going be-
tween the ends OF the cars.
The same law requires that all locomo-
tives be provided with brakes on the driv.
ing wheels so that the tram may be con,
trolled without the use of the common
hand brakes. The purchase of this appar-
tus involved the expenditure OF millions o
dollars, as there was the tremendous tota
of 1,217 ,636 freight cars and 1854 en-
gines effected by the terms of thu law Re
ports received at the Interstate Commerce
| Commission show that with practically n,
exceptions the roads are complying witt
the law, more than Is per cent. of the carr
and locomotives having been provided will

A Mile in 81 As Seconds.

Charlie, M. Murphy Of the Kings county
wheelmen rode mile after flying loco
motive Friday afternoon on level planked
road between the rails in 81 As seconds.
The ride was the feature OF the l.. A. W.
New Y ork state division meet at Patchogue,
l.. l.
1t was little after o'clock when Muir
ply mounted bis wheel and took his posi-
ton Just back of the car and in the wind
shield for the ride. The signal to start
was given and train and cyclist moved for
ward. The distance from the start to the
beginning of the mile was three-quarters
of mile, and by the time PAGER and paced
had reached the end of this. the train wa.
humming along at clip that was not far
from 60 miles an hour. When the train
reached the first station it flashed by a
group of watchers who had scarcely caught
a glimpse OF the cyclist before the cloud Of
dust which followed the train enveloped
him.
| Just before the line marking the begin.
ming of the mile was reached Murphy
seemed to falter bit, and according to
one of those on the rear platform shouted
81 can't see"
All went well enough till the half-mile
mark was passed, and then came most
exciting period. which, brief as it was, wa.
plenty long enough for the spectators OF
the train, who thought the rider was going
to lose his pace and perhap, meet with
some more serious reverses. But, witt
desperate effort he kept bis place and
finished all right.
Murphy's pulse was "a and his tempera
ture SO 1-2 when he was taken aboard the
train. He rode a 21-pound wheel, geared
to 120. The time Of his ride by quarter.
was 10 seconds, 20 IL, A and 81 40.

THE BLUE STORE.
PRICELESS DOCUMENT.
How the Original Declaration of In
dependence Is Preserved.

Did you ever see the Declaration of In
dependence-the original manuscript If
you have not, you probably never will, for
now it lies in the archives of the state de-
partment incased in glass and locked in a
steel vault. Unless you have some ex
traordinary reason for viewing it, the GUS
todian will not show it to you. To be
sure a faithful reproduction of the famous
document hangs in an upright glass case
in the showroom of the state department.
This room is a part of the library, and
many valuable historic relics are on view
there.
Several years ago the original Declare
ton hung in the case where the facsimile
appears today. A short time before it had
been proposed to take it to the World g
fair at Chicago. The managers of the fair
were extremely anxious to secure it. There
was even talk of shipping it in a special
car under guard of a squad of United
States regulars, but the secretary of state
would not consent. twas within his dis
erection to let any of the state papers go to
Chicago, and he did send some very pre-
cioils manuscripts there, but the Declare
ton, he said, had too great value to be
subjected to any risk.
The discussion led to careful examina-
ton of the document. 1t is on parch-
ment, which does not deteriorate much
with the lapse of time, but the librarian
reported that the ink, which had been ex.
posed to bright light for many years,
showed signs of fading. So in February,
1894, the parchment was taken from its
frame, put between sheets of glass, sealed
in Theoretically, slowed away in the steel
vault, and there it lies beside the original
| of the constitution of the United States
| and the appeal of the colonists to King
| George. The copy answers all ordinary
| purposes, and, as the text Of the Declare
| ton has been verified and reproduced
again and again, there is no longer any
real need to consult the original. 1t il

If the natal day of American indie

should be Aug. 2. If derived from the
substantial legal act of separation from

termined to date the anniversary from

there were the noise of guns and the salute
