AN ENGINEERS LIMIT.
He Cannot Long Run Locomotive at
Tremendous hpeed.

tremendous speed.
An old locomotive engineer IN reply
to the statement that 100 miles an hour
was one of the possibilities of future
travel, says that they may build the
engines for 15O-mile gait, but they
can't build the engineers. The strain
on the nerves at very high speeds Is
something terrific, and anything over
fifty miles an hour is a pace which
jars every nerve in the body. The
average engineer is apt to break down
under the influence of many spurts at
even sixty-five miles an hour. After
such an ordeal he is completely un-
hinged, jumping when he hears unex-
pected noises like hysterical woman.
By those who have passed through this
experience it is believed that the strain
comes mainly through the sight. The
engineer has to look straight ahead,
but at the same time, as it has been
expressed, ''he sees things whizzing
past on both sides out of the tail Of
his eye, and it is as if something had
hold of the optic nerve and was pull
ing 1t out like L rubber band" Shad-
ows are the terror of the locomotive en-
gineer. A bid may fit across the head
light and throw shadow down the
track as big as box car. OF course.
it is gone in an instant, but in just that
heartbeat the nerves of the engineer
have been given shock that they may
not recover from in week. The new
electric headlights are said TO be the
worst kind of spook- producers. They
cast such sharp shadows that bug
moving over the glass will give the en-
gineer the impression of a COW lying
just in front of the pilot. At very high
speed such an experience conjures up
visions of sudden death and gives a
sledge-hammer blow to every nerve
center in the body of the engineer.

Camel. on the piow In Germany.

Count Skorzewski. "A wealthy land

horses or oxen to draw the plow on
his estate. The experiment has proved
successful. and II is probable that It

A New Star.

Big resourceful Texas is famed for
its great undertakings. The newest
and brightest star which has shot
athwart its horizon is the wonderful
town of La Porte, located on Calves
ton Bay midway between Houston and
Galveston in the celebrated Coast
Country of Texas A happy trinity of
pluck, brains and capital is here found
at work building up a great deepwater
seaport city. Extensive public work is
under way including wharfs, docks and
water front shipping facilities. The
U. S. Government is soon to deepen
the channel, thus enabling the largest
ocean vessels to receive and discharge
cargoes at La Porte

Aiireu mbrtcht SPENDS Two Days on
n Marble Slab.
NEW HAVEN, Conn, Jan. 19.-After
having been pronounced dead, and when
preparations were being made for his
funeral, Alfred Umbricht came to life in
the morgue of st. Joseph's Hospital. New
York. That is the story he told his friends
today on his return to his home in this
city. He was employed as an assistant
chef at the Hotel Savoy when taken with
typhoid fever in November and was car
ried 10 the St. Joseph Hospital for treat
ment. He became deliriOus. and finally
lapsed into Inconsistencies. He was pro-
nOunced dead. and his body was taken TO
the hospital morgie, while preparations
could be made to receive 1t in this city.
The zero atmosphere of the morgue re-
vived Umbrieht. and he showed signs OF
returning life after two days in the
morgue. RestOratives were applied. and
he regained consciousness slowly. He has
just become able to leave the hospital.
During his experience his hair turned
white and he lost in weight seventy
pounds.

Her days this week London was a pur-

strength Of more hopeful feeling regard
ing the South African situation. London
purchases OF the Pacific securities were
particularly noticeable and the grangers
also were taken for that account. The ef
iect OF this buying in New York was good
and added to the generally most satisfa--
tory conditions everywhere il resulted in
larger advances in prices than on any re-
cent day. Money this morning was again
easy, the call loan rate being 31-2 during
the hrst two hours. Money is still coming
into the banks from the interior and the
balance with the subtreasury continues To
Increase largely owing to the payment of
pensions. The bank statement tomorrow
Is likely TO show large increase in cash
and an increase in surplus reserves as
large as last weeks. Brokers generally are
expressing more hOpefulness than for some
time past regarding the immediate future
OF the market. The bears have no success
whatever and when there is any move
ment in prices in the standard issues IT
Is upward.
