assumes the proportions which it may as
sumo within few years 1 believe that
coal exports alone will require one-.hird
of the total tonnage now needed to carry
export shipments from the United States.
We are anticipating an export trade, and
the docks being completed at Curtis Bay,
in Baltimore Harbor. have been planned
partly with this idea in view, although
they will be used, of course, for general
shipping purposes.
The cost Of exporting gold from the
mines has been reduced to a minimum by
the railroad companies through the use
of heavier locomotives, larger cars, and
the reduction Of grades, allowing the haul
ing of a very large tonnage by one engine
The introduction of labor saving machin-

thereby reducing the cost OF mining.

Regarding the closing down of furnaces
and other industries Mr.. Cowen stated
that in the region reached by the Balti-
more and Ohio he knew of no such sus-
pensions except a few caused by necessary
repairs. Where one corporation con-
trolls large number of t. Ills and furnaces.
as is now the case he said, lit may be
more economical to make repairs to a
number OF the plants at the same time.
and as this suspension may affect number
of industries, more publicity is given than
where each is controlled by an independent
company and only one or two are idle at
time. Undoubtedly the slackening of
the demand for certain commodities in
steel and iron has caused operations to
cease at some works. but they will be
obliged to resume work on account of the
orders which will be received in the near
future. l do not attribute any of the re-
cent suspensions in iron and steel indus
tries to a permanent falling off in the
demand for these metals.
Mr.. Atkinson's article is extremely in
teresting to us. as it is closely associated
with the interests of the Baltimore and
Ohio through our traffic in coal and iron"

Good Road RECOMMENDATION.


Besides providing for a permanent

with headquarters in Chicago. the ma
tIonal good roads convention recently
held In that city adopted certain gem
eraI recommendations made by com
mittee for the promotion Of the end
In view
The first recommendation Is rather
obscurely worded. but Il seems to
mean that the state should repeal the
provisions OF their road laws requiring
people 10 work 50 many days each year
on the roads and substitute therefor
a provision requiring cash payment OF
road taxes. This Is reasonable as far
as II goes. because the labor under this
system Is largely Ineffective and mis-
applied: the work IS pretty much all
done at one time. which Is Irrational.
and It Is rarely well directed. Il was
stated by one Of the speakers az the
convention that fully rs per cent OF
the work done under this system was
thrown away. With the taxes paid In
cash and the money used TO buy suit
able materials and appliances and to
employ capable workmen and direct
them wisely far more and better re-
suits would be secured AZ no great ex-
pense. The second Recommendation
was that state legislatures make proyi-
sion for the employment Of convict la
Dor In preparation Of material for the
construction OF roads The third rec
ommendation Is the passage Of suitable
etate laws in aid Of the work OF I'M
provement and the appointment Of
"non-partisanr highway commission
ers.

A regimental physician IN the
French army has investigated the ef-
feet upon soldiers Of regular marching

OF the soldiers step causes the indol-
ialte repetition Of a shock OF the brain

Of motion is far more deleterious than
an irregular walk. he attributes the
peculiar aches and pains Of the men to
the fact that the same parts OF the
body receive the series Of shocks.
