AMERICAN RAILWAY PROGRESS.

Many conclusions of general interest, both TO
the travelling public and 10 the investor in rail-
way securities. can be drawn from a statistical
abstract lust issued by the Federal Interstate
Commerce Commission This abstract sum-
marizes the reports submitted by the railroads
Of the United States for the year ending June
80 1900 and offers an impressive view not only
of the vastness of our national railway system
but of its constant progress In extent Of mile
age, in earning power in safety of equipment
and in efficiency and economy of operation. To
the investor the commissions report will be in
teresting chiefly as showing that during the
period covered the American railroads as a
whole enjoyed an increased business and de-
veloped an increased earning capacity To the
travelling public the evidences it gives of better
equipment and lessened liability 10 accident will
afford particular satisfaction.
According 10 the commissions figures, the
number of passengers carried by all the rail
roads of the country during the year ending
June go. 1900 was $40, ,s65, ,230. an increase over
the preceding year Of 53,6sS, 122. The number
Of passengers carried one mile-passenger mile
age proper-was 10000 900, an increase of
about Loo 0O0o00 The number of tons Of
freight carried one mile was 14l 500, 900, 900,
an increase OF nearly 100000 The aver
age revenue per mile for both passenger and
freight traffic showed, naturally, material ad-
vance. and the gross earnings for the railway
system a whole made a forward jump OF
S113.000,000. For each mile Of line operated
the commission has figured out gross earnings
OF $7,722, or s71I more than for the year ending
June 80. 1899. Operating expenses failed TO
keep pace with this expansion OF earning power.
so that the years end found the American rail-
way system as whole in a materially improved
financial condition. Thrty-fv railroads were
taken from the hands of receivers during the
year while only sixteen resorted 10 receiver
ships 20 ease their embarrassInents.
Over four thousand miles of new track were
laid in ls99-l9O0, the greatest yearly increase
since 1928. Altogether the American rail-
roads had a year ago 259.7S miles of track.
But double tracking has made so far but little
progress only about fourteen thousand miles Of
this total being available for trains running in
opposite directions. Ii is encouraging TO note IN
spite OF the prevalence of the single line, that
the percentage of fatal accidents for the year
was slightly lowered. Death took its toll OF
1865 victims of whom 2, $50 were railway en-
pioyes But computations show that over sixty
four million passenger miles were accomplished
for each passenger killed, while In the year pre-
ceding only sixty-one million miles were re-
corded for each passengers sfe lost. The per-
ceptage OF passengers injured was, curiously
enough, somewhat higher for $780, than for
1898 '99-about 10,500 suffering casualties Of
some sort during the later period. Con-
trssted. however with the other ordinary
mishaps Of life railway accidents are gradu-
ally losing their appalling scope and character.

ELECTRICITY FROM COAL.

The problem which Hugo Jone, of Chicago
has tried to solve has enlisted the efforts OF
many scientific men in the last half century.
As long ago 1866 Becquerel discovered that
he could produce a current of electricity by
burning carbon More than twenty years later
an imperfect process for doing the same thing
was patented by Jablochkotf, famous for having
come so near TO devsing n practical arc light
Subsequently Professor +. Il. CrOcker. of Column
bia University; DR.. Borchers, of Germany, and
ether well known electricians or chemists tried
to obtain electricity on a commercial scale by
the chemical dissolution of coal. One of them
was W. W. Iaques, of the Bell Telephone Com
nany in Boston. 1t is said too. that Mr.. Edison
attacked the problem at one time. None Of these
experts. however produced a battery which it
would pay TO manufacture. And in some
instances it vas suspected that the current
which they Were able to generate was due to
heat rather than chemical action.
These facts do not prove that Mr.. Jone has
rot succeeded. But the experience Of so many
skilled inv estigators shows that the task is
more complicated than was at first supposed.
And IL serves as 81 warning against a too ready
acceptance of the claims put forward by friends
OF the Chicago chemist. II is one thing TO gen
crate electricity in specific way, and another
TO DO il economically. Sparks can be obtained
by strokiEg n cats back, but nobody outside or
an insane asylum seriously thinks Of lighting
bis house by that method. The utmost that cal,
be said for Mr.. Jone is that he is acting in
good faith. has made serious attemp: TO
improve on the work OF his predecessors has
protected himself by taking our a patent, and
that he is not entirely satisfied with his product.
Whether or not he has a device which will
replace the dynamo is yet 70 be demonstrated.
The idea of utilizing larger percentage OF
the energy which resides in coal than car 10
had by burning 1t under a steam boiler is so
fascinating that cannot wonder that so
many men have sought TO achieve that result.
1t is appalling to think that nine-tenths of the
latent power Of coal goes up the chimney and
only onetenth into the cylinders oI an engine.
The evil can be overcome 10 Il limited extent
by making gas out of the coal and using the
gas eXplosively. And the possibilities of the
gas engine have not yet been fully developed.
But the coal battery which so many inventors
have tried TO perfect would be simpler and
more efficient. 1t would be the ideal system.

n WALDECK-ROUssEAu,s VICTORY

The passing of the so-called Associations bill
by the French Parliament was great triumph
for NJ Waldeck- Rousseau and his Cabinet In
the date OF its passage there was suggested
still greater triumph Of which our Paris CORE
spondent reminds us in a letter which print
elsewhere. For its enactment was effected just
after the second anniversary of M. Waldeck-
Rousseaus accession TO office. In itself, TO have
held Office for two years was noteworthy
thing If this Ministry shall last until the end Of
the present summer ii will be the most enduring
the Third Republic has known in all its thirty
years. And there is little doubt that 1t will last
so long, and longer now that the Associations
bin Is out of the way and after the Chambers
are dissolved until November. There is no fear
of ministerial crisis during a Parliamentary
vacation. and indeed there is little fear of 1t
when the Chambers reassemble for their last
session. The probability is that the Ministry
will remain In office until after the general cleo
tions OF next year. And then-we shall see
what sort of Chamber of Deputies is returned
under this Ministry's supervision. 1t will not
surprise judiclous observers if It shall be such
office for few years more
This endurance OF this Ministry is the more
noteworthy when recall the circumstances
amid which it came into existence. 1t was q
time Of ferocious passions and of revolutionary
unrest, in which the military power was arrayed
against the civil, and in which prominent army
officers felt free TO assault citizens who ventured
TO hurrah for the republic instead of for the
army. The Ministry was summoned into being
as a makeshift. TO tide over a crisis. to save
the republic If it could. And It WAS generally
taken for granted that in few months, with
its difficult work done undone Il would be
driven from Office by the enemies 1t had made
This expectation was strengthened by the COM
position OF the Ministry. which included men Of
divergent political yiews-one who was regarded
as a monarchst and reactionary and one who
was so radical as to be classed among the
| socialists. But there was no trimming, no hesi-
fancy, no shrinking lodging. The Ministry
took hold Of the immediate work in hand and
| unfnchingly performed It, Then ii went on TO
the next in like manner, and thus it has con-
| tinued until this day And 1t has not fallen.
but has held its place better than any Of it's
| predecessors.

A KENTUCKY HERMIT
Has Not Set Foot on the Ground
for Over Thirty Years.
Made a Peculiar Vow and Lives the
Life of RecIuse. Although Pos
sessed of Considerable Prop
erty and Good Health.

Living in solitude in the eastern
portion of Nelson county, ten miles
from Bardstown, is one of the most
Esingular characters in Kentucky.
Now in his seventy-ffth year, he
has not touched foot to the earth
for over 80 years.
Basil Hayden, says the Philadelphia
Press, is one of the wealthiest farm
ers in district composed of IL coun-
ties, and is descended from family
well known in the pioneer annals of
the state.
Many of them have also been dis
inguished in the different lines OF
life.
One of his brothers, Raymond H..
Hayden, for years held controlling
interest in one of the most famous
distilleries in the United States. He,
too, had peculiar ideas and lived a
bachelor all his life, and at last died
at an advanced age, under singular
circumstances.
He was found dead in his orchard
a number of years ago, bottle that
had contained poison lying by his
side. 1t was generally thought that
he had committed suicide, but there
were some who held the opinion that
he had met with foul play and the
poison bottle was placed near him
for blind.
Basil Hayden. "The Hermit" as he
is known throughout the section in
which he lives, in his youth was a
social leader and very popular with a
large circle of friends.
When the war broke Out he entered
the confederate army and made a
good soldier to the end.
When he returned home he found
his slaves free and his property great
ly damaged. The emancipation of his
negroes affected him seriously, and
he brooded over it constantly.
He became sullen and morose, de-
clining ,pall overtures at friendiness
on the part of his neighbors. He
