collision Is, therefore, impossible II the
engineers obey the signals.
The installation of the system repre-
sents a large invested capital, but so
efhclent Is the apparatus and so reliable
the service, that it has been found to
effect great saving against the
amount yearly spent in fighting suits
for damages incurred by reason of
faulty apparatus. This, too, aside from
the consideration of human life.
When the third-rail system Of power
distribution has become universal, as 1t
most assuredly will, the running of each
train will be under the direct supervis-
| ion and immediate control of the train
dispatcher himself. The towers, sig
nails and operators will continue as now
but the train dispatcher will know from
personal observation the exact location
of each train. Thus, in the train dis
patcher's office will be a working model
of the division over which he has 1uris-
diction. On each track is a miniature
duplicate of each train speeding across
the country. These miniatures start
run and stop in exact synchronism with
the trains on the big tracks, so that the
speed, location, progress and condition
of every train on the division Is known
TO the dispatcher at a glance. On the
table in front of him are number of
keys" Ii train passes a tower
against signal he is able to bring it
TO standstill simply by pressing the
proper key, thus cutting off the current
from the offending train and preventing
collision. 1t is only another means
whereby the controlling mind is more
effectually employed to still further re-
duce the number of accidents, which
are now but one passenger killed to
| 100000 safely carried.

Cork, as every one knows, is one of
the best non-conductors of heat or

cork tiling has recently been placed
upon the market which is made or
what Is known to the trade as "virgin'
cork" ground, compressed, and other
wise treated by a patented process, and
which is free from the cement and glue,

made of this pure, compressed cork
form an admirable flooring, which, be-
sides being noiseless, waterproof,

Eskimo Children and Their Ways.
One might think that the queer little
Eskimo children would find life very,
very dull now that they have so little
sunshine and the weather Is so cold
among them assures us, however, that
they seem to be perfectly contented
in their round little huts with conical
tops and one narrow doorway.
To begin with, they have strange gar
ments made of sealskin, or the skins of
reindeer, bears, foxes and even dogs.
Beneath their outer suits they wear
more fur clothes, with the hsir turned
inside, and stockings of dog skin or
reindeer skin. The boys and girls look
almost exactly alike, and at this time
of the year they are so bundled up
that about all you may see of them Is
their eyes.
In each 'igloo," or home, a place is
set apart for the use of the children.
There no one may disturb them, and
after the girls have dressed their dolls,
which are made of wood and clothed In
skins, story telling time begins. Each
child takes a turn. When the time
comes the first story teller takes off his
jacket, turns his face to the wall and
commences. And so the play, goes on

paired, the Wolverine went INTO the
New Zealand coasting lumber trade
and was carrying cargo from Whan-
CARO- for the Bluff when disaster over
took her, more than month ago. The
vessel, after leaving the hands of the
repair men, by whom she was virtually
rebuilt, was placed in command of Cap
tain Macarthur, formerly OF the steam
err Garloch, who was accompanied on
the ill-starred trip by Captain William
son of the Bluff, ono Of tho owners.
