At a recent meeting of the British
Institution of Electrical Engineers the
question Of applying electricity to
main line railways as a substitute for
steam was the subject of discussion. 1t
seems from what was said that the
problem of operating trains on large
railways by electricity Is far from be-
ing solved. 1t differs materially in
every respect from the problems met
in ordinary trolley road practice, both
in the matter of cost and manipula-
ton, and the engineers are convinced
that the age of steam in railroading is
far from coming to an end

New York suffers greatly from the
oyercrowded conditions of her streets
ami especially of those great arteries
which run north and south. So heavy
is the traffic that a slight congestion
at once produces confusion and delay
Yet the simple road rule of always
driving to the right, rigidly carried
out would obviously facilitate traYe
and diminish tho danger of accidents
In European cities the road rule is
impartially and even implacably en-
forced Europe has been longer in the
business of handling crowded streets
than we have and can give us valuable
pointers. The strict enforcement Of
the road rule is one of these.
At corners where great arterlal
streets cross each other there is room
for vast Improvement in the police
management The American system
is largely a so as you please one, and
carriages and PEDESTRIANS generally
cross these functions as best they may
it would be wiser safer and quicker, II
the police would allow first one
streets traffic and then the others &c
cross alternately. In European cities
too. half way across the streets are
placed safety reservations on which
those on foot can pause for breath and
bide their time in getting across. In
Kew York, once loose from the curl
on a crowded street, no vantage spot
short of the other curb exists, and tc
reach that goal frequently calls fol-
athletic feats that would put profes.
sional gymnast on his mettle. These
safety oasis serve another good turn
for they divide traffic and do much 10
keep vehicles on the right side Of the
street. and thus prevent colisions.--

To ascertain the value of the testi-
mony of children in cases of identii-
cation, the school authorities in south
Germany have been making some tests,
the results of which are very interest
ing. Into a schoolroom was brought a
man, of ordinary appearance and
dressed in workingman's clothes.
Glasses of girls and boys of different
ages were made to walk slowly
through the room, in at one door and
out at another, and afterward required
to write a description of the man as
they saw him. A summary of the pa
pers shows that nearly so percent of
the girls described with fair accuracy
the clothes the man wore, but said
nothing about his face or general ap-
pearance. the other 20 percent de
scribed with less accuracy both face and
clothes, but not one confined herself to
a description of the mans face. With
the boys the results were nearly OPP
posite. Nearly 20 percent described
the mans face and paid no attention to
his clothes, while the rest attempted
with only moderate success to describe
both face and clothes. Not a single
one limited himself TO the clothes.

In the neighborhood of Abilene,
Kansas, IS one of those settlements or
communities, half religious and half
economic in the motive Of their organ
ization which are to be found in vari-
GUS parts of the West. The one near
Abilene consists of members of the
sect of River Brethren. The River
Brethren did not reach Kansas until
1879; then they immigrated from Penn
sylvania, near Harrisburg. A party of
about 500 people left that town, taxi
ing with them half a million in cash
wherewith to buy lands in the new
country for which they had started out
They were of German descent and for
the most part tillers of the soil. In
the last 20 years the members Of the
community have prospered greatly, and
their numbers have increased to some
thing like 5000. They have steadily
invested their savings in the purchase
of land, and while extremely slow to
make any change in religion or social
customs, they are among the most pro
gressiye in all that pertains to the ex-
ploitation of the soil. To them was
due the first introduction of creamery
methods on large scale in central
Kansas. That enterprise, which they
organized some 10 years ago, now pays
out over quarter of a million of dol
lars every year to the farmers of the
country, and in the middle sos the agri-
cultural population Of that section, ow-

in its purchase of milk, was practical

would be to drill this corn say with a
