These counter proposals may be taken
fairly TO state the main issues between

The Science of Observation.

An incident recorded by an intelligent
reporter Of one Of the New York pa
pers is suggestive in some ways. As
the reporter observed in his account Of
it. II illustrates the difficulties encoun-
tered by the police in following UP clues
TO crimes. Several pistol shots were
fired IN a downtown street, and when
the police came 10 enquire about the
matter. the found that a woman lad
been shot in plain view Of the houses
on both sides Of the street Nobody.
however, seemed 10 know anything
about TIE affair It was about break
fast time, and most Of the inhabitants
in that vicinity were at the table. The
police could find only one man who had
recognized the shots as pistol shots
and not frecrackers, and had had Gu
riosity enough to look out Of the win
dow and see the assailant escaping.
This indicates that most folk are very
much in need Of trained powers Of OBJ
servation. OF course. in a large city.
there is SO much noise Of d misceIld-
neOus kind that people may b. excused
for not running TO the window when
ever they hear an unusual sound; but
there is not always this excuse for
vague and uncertain Impressions.

fashion Of giving observation par

THE RAILROAD DUST PROBLEM.
A New scheme Tried by the Penn
ryIyunia Company.

syIyunia Company
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 6.-From the
Pennsylvania Railroad comes a most
unique and yet simple scheme for solving
the dust problem. which is a more or less
pressing question with the management
of all railroads. II consists in covering
the ground and banks along the tracks
where the sand is exposed with sweep
ings from city streets and dirt from cattle
stables and yards The grains Of corn,
oats. wheat. and other seeds in the refuse
take root in the ground, and within
short time spring up, furnishing a cover
ing over the sand and gravel which pre-
vents the sweep Of the train from picking
up the dust. and. where IT is carried along
as in passing road crossings, the growth
catches the particles before they are car
ried very far This scheme cannot be said
to entirely do away with the Dust sub
stance, but IL goes far enough in this di-
recti0n TO induce the railroad 10 carry II
out in a more OF less modified form along
all its lines
The experiment was first tried on the
Atlantic City branch of the Pennsylvania
line. Ever since that resort became the
Mecca OF summer tourists To the seaShOre

Finally the latest scheme was determined
upon. The idea came through sCddiuE
some OF the banks along other branches
Of the line. with the object OF making the
stations more attractive TO the public
The department Of maintenance Of way
found that the placing OF grass sod along
the tracks near these stations reduced the
dust in the vicinity of those places The
conclusion was drawn that If grass could

in neither case was there violence on
the part Of the strikers. President
Shaffer announced that the coutemplat-
ed general strike order would not 20
into effect for ut least ten days. as it
would be necessary 20 give that much
notice to a number OF operating COM
panies which had signed the union scale
for the year
1t Is possible that MI Shaffer and his
colleagues may still hope that political
pressure and fear Of the financial con-
sequences Of a prolonged contest Will
induce Mr.. Morgan TO make conces-
sions, but all the indications are that
he and his associates are determined
to see the fight through. As far as we
can learn. they do not doubt their abiI-
ity to resume operations in most in
stances within the next two weeks. and
If they are correct in that belief the
cause IF the strikers would seem to be
in a bad way However, ShaTer and
others in a position 70 know are prob
ably right in contending that the trust
cannot find a sufficient number Of skill
ed workmen outside Of the labor unions
to man its plants. But the other side
is preparing to overcome that obstacle
by taking green men where trained
ones cannot be secured, and educating
them in the several speciaItIes in
