CROW INDIANS AS RAILROAD BUILDERS

The evolution of the American In
dian is being illustrated in a new way.
Grow Indians have just gone to work
constructing the 110-mile extension of
the Burlington railroad from Toluca,
Mont, to Cody City, Wyo. Much of
the line passes through the reservation
of these Indians, and the Burlington
management, as an experiment, sug-
gested that the contract be awarded to
the Indians where it was possible. The
head of the once great war tribe, Chief
Red Blanket, accepted the conditions,
and, calling AIS warriors together, ex-
planned to them that the white mans
steam horse was to cross their reserva-
ton, and that they were to be paid S.
day for the use of two ponies and
scraper. The Indians were quite
unanimous in declaring their intention
to go to work, and now 200 buck Crows
are working on the roadbed. This is
the first instance in history where the
American Indian has undertaken work
Of this kind. The Indians show ex-

WORLD SHORT OF COAL.


II Cremation Continues There Will Be a
Fuel Famine Some Day.
The American opponents and advo-
Gates OF cremation are much interest
ed Just now in statement which has
been made by distinguished chemist.
to the effect that if cremation should
ever become universal practice the
worlds supply of coal would speedily
be exhausted, says the New York Her
aid. This chemist is Professor Glenn
ems Walker of Saxony, and his state
ment is the result of long study on this
subject The worlds population, he
says, consists of about 1,550,0 900
persons, and of these about 81 900 900
die every year. Now, If all these bod
les were to be cremated the amount of
coal which would be used for this pur-
pose would, he maintains, be 14,S49,-
900, or, in round numbers, $1,000 900
tons. Many years, however, he admits,
are likely to elapse before the entire
world decides to substitute cremation
for the prevailing method of burial,
and, therefore, instead of laying stress
on wha, is likely to happen in this far
distant time he draws attention to GER

Eightning's Deadly Bolt.

WhGn we come to make calculations
lightning we soon discover that the
chances are in about the same proper
tiGn as they are to the average citizen
suddenly becoming an heir to mil
ion dollars.
Statistics show that in the United
States the average number killed by
lightning is 312 every year. If we have
IS 900, 900 people in our country our
chance would then be about one in
100000.
The greatest percentage of fatalities
IN among farmers. This is in all
probably due to the fact that they are
more often in open fields away from
taller objects which would naturally
attract the bolt.
During storm it will be well to be
within a reasonable distance-say sew
enty-fve to 100 feet-of some taller
object that would serve as a conductor
for the immense charge Of electricity.
1t is decidedly dangerous to stand be-
meath a tree for shelter.
1t seems that trees are relatively
the best conductors for lightning In
the following order: Firs, beeches,
pines, larches. ash and birch.
The majority of people are more
frightened by thunder than lightning.
If we study the philosophy of light
ming 1t is a simple matter to under
stand that thunder is only the report
of the bolt. This report is produced
quite similar to that Of gun. When
= charge is fired from gun 1t pro-
duces what might be termed tempo
rary vacuum and when the air rushes
In to I'LL 1t the report is heard. If a
man should be shot through a vital
part In such a way as to produce In
slant death he would not hear the re-
port. Neither will one who is struck
by lightning see the fash or hear the
report. therefore one who sees the

tain statistics which are of more i'm
mediate interest There are, he says,
100 cities in the world each of which
has population exceeding 100000, and
the aggregate population of which is
S2,000,000 The number of deaths in
these cities amounts annually to l.
$40, 900, and if all these bodies were to
be cremated the amount of coal re-
quired for this purpose each year
would be 785,500 tons. That such
large quantity of coal should be con-
sumed in this way seems to him highly
undesirable, and he expresses the hope
that encouragement will not be given
to those who are in favor of using for
the annihilation of dead bodies most
valuable material, and one which the
living may soon be in need of it much
of it is consumed in this way. Advo-
Gates of cremation in this city do not
agree with Professor Winkler, neither
does Die F'lamme, the representative
organ of the European cremation soci-
cites Admitting" says the latter,
that the total population of the 100
greatest cities is S2,000,000, it is quite
true that the average number of deaths
each year will be one and two-thir5

Will contests are so common and so
destructive that one feels like applaud
ing the wisdom Of men who incorpor-
ate their estates under the name Of
say, "The John Jones company" and
regularly transfer stock in the com
pany just as they wish their property
should be distributed. 1t costs some
thing to incorporate. but 1t does not
exhaust an estate, as the contest over
a will might, and the chief corporator
is able to guard himself against the
fate Of King Lean by retaining sub
'stantial interest. The wonder Is that
moneyed men have not devised even
better methods of protecting their es-
tates against impudent claimants and
greedy lawyers. The readiness with
which wills are contested and the ap-
parent ease with which they are fire.
ouently broken must have troubled the
mind of every man who has an estate
to leave.

ANOTHER HUDSON BRIDGE.

Secretary Root has signed an official
document approving the plans for the
new $60000,000 double-deck Hudson
river bridge. This great public i'm
provement, which has been long need
ed in the effort to rehabilitate the COM
merce of the commerce of the port Of
New York, will preclude any further
delay.
The structure will run from West
New York across the Hudson. 1t will
have six tracks for steam railroads on
the main level and four trolley tracks,
a roadway and pedestrian and cycle
paths on the upper deck, constituting
the most complete bridge structure
ever planned. This bridge is combi-
nation of the suspension and cantilever
principles.
The cost of construction is estimated
at more than 81 900 900 per mile. This,
of course. does not include the orna-
mentation of the boulevard and the
carriage approaches and stairways for
pedestrians and bcyclists, all of which
