GRADE CROSSINGS.
Decrease in the Number OF Accidents
From This Cause.

pecioaso ~ tho ~Nuhhpeh VI hSs'uohss
From This Cause.
Since 1893 the number of railroad
accidents at crossings at grade has
fallen off rs per cent, though the VOL
ume of railroad travel in the United
States has largely increased and the
number Of trains is much greater.
This decrease is due largely to the
legislation, in which New York was
the pioneer, for the abolition Of all
grade crossings, says the New York
Sun. The Anti-Grade Crossing law OF
New York, adopted in 1897, provided
that steam surface roads thereafter
built must be constructed to avoid all
crossings at grade. New streets, av-
enues or highways, when carried
across the tracks of existing steam
roads, must be either above or below
grade, and the extra cost of such con-
struction is to be paid half by the
municipality and half by the road
crossed. Where existing crossings are
changed upon the application of the
municipal authorities or of railroad
company the expense of such change is
to be paid as follows: One-half by the
railroad company, one-quarter by the
state and onequarter by the municipal
authorities. All street surface rail-
roads hereafter constructed in New
York across steam railroad shall be
either above or below it's grade. The
legislature is authorized to appropri-
ate not less than 100000 annually to
defray the states share of the expense
imposed by compliance with this stat
ute. Massachusetts, in which the
population outside of the large cities
is more dense than in New York, ap-
propriates $500000 year for the elimi-
nation Of grade crossings and has al
ready expended $2,500000 for this pur-
pose, and the railroad companies in
Massachusetts, Qargely owned in New
York; have paid $4,000 900 for the same
purpose. Under a lev passed by the
tennessee legislature in 1889, the rail-
roads are obliged to grade road cross
ings to the level of the rails, and to
keep them in repair for ten feet on
each side of the track. The Connecti-
cut legislature adopted similar meas
ure and it has been strictly enforced
in that state. Nearly every western
state and some southern and Pacific
states have followed New York's lead
in gradually doing away, where prac-
ticable, with the old fashioned method
of laying railroad tracks on the same
level as the intersecting wagon and
carriage roads. There are few roads
in the country on which there has not
been in recent years some effort to re-
cnce the number of grade crossings.

Edge of the World.

An old sea captain who had navigat--
ed his ship many times round the
world persisted in maintaining that
our globe is not globe at all, but a
fiat surface. No arguments, derisive
or painstakingly educational, could al
ter his opinion one jot. Some one
said to him once:
But il the earth is as you say, cap
tain, there must be an edge to it.
How is it that no one has ever tumbled
over the edge?"
why, Of course. they have" he an.
swered, triumDhantly. That's where
the ships go that are reported mis-
sing. .'-Tit-Bits.

SPARE THE ROD, SPOIL THE BEAST.
But the Rod Must Be Iron, with a Red.
Hot Tip.


Hot Tip.
"When all other methods of control
ling wild beasts fail the keeper has
only to employ an iron rod, which has
been made red hot at one end" said
an old circus man to a Star reporter
recently. Lions and tigers" he con-
tinued, will cringe before the heated
poker, and no matter how restless and
fretful they may have been the sight
of the glowing iron Immediately
brings them to their best Of animal
senses. 1t has an almost hypnotic in
fiuence over the beasts. l have seldom
heard of an animal being burned in
this manner, however, so there is
nothing cruel in the treatment. 1t
would not do for the keeper to burn
the charges under his care, for the
scars would mar the animal or exhibit
ton purposes. The hot iron is ter
ror, just the same, and under It's per-
suasion the kings of the jungle are do
cile and ready to do what is wanted
of them.
In circus menageries the animals
often become almost unmanageable.
This is true Of the younger specimens,
who do not like the idea of being so
closely housed, so much hauled about
and so often cut off from the light of
the outside world. When 1t becomes
| necessary to give their cages a thor
ough and sanitary cleaning one attend
ant holds the beast in a corner by
means of the red-hot iron, while an.
other thoroughly cleanses the remain
ing portion of the cage-the work
being accomplished by brooms and
| mops from the outside. In changing
the wilder animals from the cages en-
ployed on the road to the larger and
more commodious quarters at the win
! ter station, what we call strong box
| is used. The wagon is hauled along
side the large cage and the steel strong
box, open at both ends, is constituted
a passageway. The animals hesitate
to make journey through such a sus-
| piciouslooking object, however. and
again the heated iron must be brought
into play."-Washingto Star.

Next to steam. electricity has made
the most wonderful progress. At the
end of the eighteenth century practi-
cally nothing was known of this sub
tie fluid. A hundred years later, mar
velous doings can be reported. What
steam fails to do for us electricity
does. 1t rings our bells, propels our
cars, raises our elevators, transmits
our messages, reproduces our voices,
plays our pianos, lights our streets and
homes, cauterizes our wounds and
performs a thousand other functions.
All these marvels owe their origin to
the discovery of the electro magnet,
an Indispensable adjunct to all electric
contrivances, by Professor Joseph
Henry, of Princeton, n. j. Samuel f.
B. Morse, utilizing Henry's Invention,
discovered the telegraph and the sys-
TEN of signaling which bears his name.

cred the duplex system of telegraph

every brokers' office in the shape of

In New Brunswick. N. j., is an elm
tree that literally has heart of stone.
if flintlikc bricks and mortar may be
so classified. A long time ago the eSn
was one of three large trees planted
around the grave of a famous Indian
chief, but with the growth of the
town two of the trees We're cut down
to give place to street. The remain
ing elm at once began to die at the
heart, and in few years the trunk
was honeycombed by insects. Then
at a Fourth of July celebration the
punk-like heart caught fire and burned
out. Supported by thin shell of
trunk, the tree threatened to fall in
any high wind. Then it occurred to it's
owner, Mrs. Elmendorf. to have the
inside filed with brick and mortar
This was done. and for years the big
tree has rested on its stony support,
getting its nourshmcnt through the
bark and shading the home of its
benefactor.

Chinese farmers do not take their
ducks to market in crates, but drive
them into the waters of the grand
canal and compel them to furnish their
own motive power. Usually the duck
crop" of a whole district is brought
together and started to market in
charge of men in boats, and the sight
of several thousand birds swimming
in a compact mass along China's great
water road is novel one indeed.
Julian Ralph, the traveller, met such 4
procession one day. The mass of
ducks was several acres in extent, and
went along at a pace much faster than
could be expected, being kept in for
nation by long bamboo poles with
palm leaves at the end. Suddenly sew
eral boats came up in the opposite di-
rection-a big, "chopboat" and two or
three smaller vessels. They were sail
ing swiftly before the fresh breeze di-
rectly upon the field of ducks, and
there seemed to be no way of prevent
ing a terrible slaughter. The big
"chopboat." like house blown before
a gale, sped toward the advancing
feathered host, and at last the birds
that were in the way were almost un-
der her bows. Then there was a fiut-
tering of wings and a bobbing of
heads, the immense flock broke apart,
crack opened before the "chopboat"
and widened until there was a canal
broad enough for the vessel to pass
through. Not single duck was run
over.

statement and with large reasonable requirements for credits known to be impending, it was obvious that the money supply would be limited. The outgo of gold continues in spite of the need for money, to-day showing with draWal of $500,000 from the sub-treasury for shipment on Saturday, said to be for Brazil. The renewed demand for the interior is an unexpected develop ment. There was taken to-day $100, 900 for transfer to New Orleans.
 ! The redemptions of government bonds are not sufficient to offset the require ments of the sub-treasury, as is shown by yesterdays net gain by that insti- tuition of $43S,000, in spite of payment in redemption of bonds of upwards of $1,5OO,O0O. To-day's payment for the same account of over half a million, therefore, affords little relief from the drain on the money market on account of the routine sub operations. The available supply of government bonds for redemption has grown scarce and not much further relief is expected on that account. The anticipatory pay ment of government interest will not be available to the money market until next week. The speculative liquidation, both in stocks and grains, is presuma- bly, effecting some automatic relief to the money situation, but large sums which are taken out of the call loan market are placed in time loans, rates for which have advanced to per cent. The net effect upon the loan accounts of the banks is therefore problematical. Besides the general influence of the money situation there was some special weakness shown by New York Central on account of the restriction of action by the directors of the Vanderbilt roads at to-day's meetings to an ad- vance in the dividend rate on Canada Southern.

 Work on the Yale Auditorium is be- ing pushed regardless of the weather, and the entire outer wall is finished to a height of ten feet or more.
 The Byers Memorial hall is at about the same stage of completion and the work is being hurried. Although it was only begun this fall, it is intended to have the building ready for the opening of the next college year.
 The new dispensary building for the medical school is nearing completion and will be ready for occupancy early in 1902 This building is being erected by the university at a cost of about S100,000. It is situated opposite the New Haven hospital and is nlnety-one feet long, siXty-six feet wide and three sto- ries high. It is constructed of red brick with sandstone trimmings, and is fire proof throughout. The building con- tains twenty-seven recitation rooms, in- cluding a large lecture hall and an am phitheater with a seating capacity of 125. The building is designed only for clincs, the dispensary and connected in struction. Treat & Sperry, of this city, are the contractors and l.. w. Robinson the architect.
