Our Two Senators.

The relations between the two SEN
ators from Illinois have for a couple
of years been somewhat strained.
Billy Mason was the recipient of some
sympathy because Mr. Cullom took
all the patronage of the state away
from him. Cullom looked upon Billy
with some pity and considerable dis
dain as one doomed to serve but a
single term. He now seeks a closer
relationship with his colleague, as
one who will likely serve two years
after he (Cullom) has been retired.
Billy is good natured and receives the
advances of his colleague plea sanity,
and it is said has surrendered his last
remnant of patronage to mis- brother
senator "a sort of consolation box.

KING LEOPOLD As AN AUTOMOBILIST.

Paris correspondence of The London Telegraph,
King IeOpOd's liking for automobilism has
in nOwire been lessened by His Majesty's ad-
venture in the BOiS de BOulOgne, when he mar
rOWly escaped being summoned for furious driv-
ing. The royal mOJOriSt is now constantly to be
seen about in the twenty-fOur horsepower racing
vehicle conducted by ChaTrOn, of Paris to BOr-
deauX fame, and once outside the limits Of the
capital and of the BOis wherein King Leopold
insists upon his driver keeping to a moderate
pace. Ills Majesty indulgeS deserted country
roads in the intONicGtiOn Cf express train speeds.
A sure sign that the King has become a thor
ouSh convert to autOmobilism has lately been
noticed in his attire. His Majesty is taking to
the special style of dress worn by French motor
men, Notably, he has definitely adopted ''chauf-
four SpectaclcS. with wire netting and side
pieces. At first King Leopold could not be in
duced to tut these unbScOminS goggles on. After
some uncomfortable experiences of high speed
travelling against the wind and on dirty roads
he however. determined to give the chauffeur
spectacles trial, and he has found them
satisfactory and comfortable that he now al
ways wears them when motoring. King Leo
pOld in fact, has COt used to the goggles that
he forgot to take them off the other day on
alighting from mis- automobile, and some sensa-
tion was caused at the Elysee Palace Hotel,
where he is staying. when His Majesty was OBJ

While the project here outlined was under
consideration, the desirability of having a drug
store and system of medical prescriptions foe
faintness, nausea and other maIadies was sJIF-
gested. This amendment to the plan was not
deemed a wise one, however. The men them
selves would not always know what they
need. None of the relief corps were competent
TO tell. An error in prescription might be at
tended with fatal results, and. finally, this class
of cases was less numerous and serious than
those resulting from accident.

TICN WITH MANY ADVANTAGES.
Every now and then the newspapers publish
directions for procedure in resusctating victims
of sunstroke drowning bad cuts. broken legs
and other accidents and suddenly developed dis
orders. But when such emergencies arise the
chances are that those who have mastered this
advice are not on hand. And when they are, the
accidents don't happen. There are exceptions %
this rule, however. And one of them is the Gus
tom of having volunteer eye surgeon In

still by a combination of dexterity. nerve and
experience he is fitted afford relief in trifiing
accidents of this sort. and the prOmptness with
which he is able to render such service often
saves a good deal of time and discomfort.
A scheme which may possibly have been an
outgrowth of this. but which is much more
elaborate and satisfactory. is outlined by The
Iron Age" 1t has been initiated by the man

in the suburbs of a city to prevent an immediate
response TO a summons for a physician. that
fully six hundred men employed there. and
that the accidents which are most common are
burns, cuts. falls. the crushing of hands or feet
injury TO the eye from sparks chips and heat
prostration in summer.
The plan recently adopted at this establish
ment is to train special relief corps. composed
of about twenty men and distributed among the
several departments, so that the most judciOus
well the readiest, aid may be afforded in
an emergency. The men who constitute the
corps have been provided with the manuals of
the Red Cross. Stretchers are placed at con-
venient places. room is set apart exclu-
sivey for surgical purposes, and only members
of the relief corps carry keys thereto. This room
is equipped with leather covered couch, splnts
bandages, lint and other appropriate articles.
When the scheme was first put into operation
to ascertain how thoroughly the men had studied
their manuals ard to familiarize them with the
actual performance of their duties. The various

spired by the offer of rewards. If a man was
found TO be lacking in calmness or carefuIness he
dropped. The organization is purely
honorary one, but membership in it was eagerly

THE FORE RIVER COMPANY.
Another competitor fc~ Iaurels to be gained
in the rehabilitation of the Navy is the Fore
River Engine Company, of East Braintree,
Mass. which recently established large ship
building plant at quincy Point for the purpose
of building the two battleships for which the
concern had received "a contract. The plant
consists OF a group of machine shops, and be
yond them. a rising sweep of lawn, reached
by a curved driveway. large building with
broad verandas There is nothing imposing about
the plant, and the passenger who leaves the
train at Weymouth station would not suspect
that a great shipbuiliing industry had been
started there.
The head of the concern and the master mind
of the corporation is Thomas A. Watson whose
partner Frank O. Wellington, formerly an
engineer in factory n Bridgewater owned by
OakeS Ames. An interesting feature about the
Fore River that it is not Incorporated.
Mr.. Watson is looked upon the company and
his partner and active manager is known as
Mr.. Watson's discovery just as Watson him
self is said to have been discovered by Professor
Alexander Graham Bell. Mir Watson is about
forty-seven years old, has college education,
and when sixteen years cid went TO work in a
machine shop in Boston. The shop made cleo
trical supplies speciality. and Ope day in 1873
! a man named Bell came TO the shop TO have a
machine made with which to make experiments
in multiple telegraphy. Young Watson was
assigned TO do the work. and from that time
on he worked with Bell until he assisted him in
putting up the first telephone line from the
boarding house in Exeter Place, where they
| lived, TO building in COurt-st., not far away.
When the telephone ceased to be a toy and
gained its place as a useful instrument Watson
was made superintendent of the Bell Telephone
Company, remaining at that post for eight years.
Then he founded company for the manufacture
of engines to be used in electric lighting plants.
In speaking of the work which the company
has undertaken Mr.. Watson said
