ENGINEERS, EALsE ALARMS.
why Things Look Different From VIVA
They Are.


"When a mans sitting in an engine
cab, looking up the track with con.
slant watch for danger a burden on
his mind" said an engineer "things
sometimes look different from what
they really are. This Is especially true
il after long service his eyes begin to
be n little affected
Il used TO know an old engineer who
was one of the most careful men Oh the
road. In fact. he was always worried
and fear of an accident got to be al
most a mania with him. One day he
was pulling a long freight down a pret
~ fair grade when he suddenly clapped
on the air and gave the 'highbalr with
the whistle. sending the brakemen out
over the train setting the hand brakes
as fast as they could. Finally they
brought the train TO stop. and every
body ran up to see what was the mat
ter. Among the men who came up
was red-Shirted section man. When
the fellow got close. Jack. the cngi.
neer, began to rip out the biggest
string OF explosives 1 ever heard. He
dressed up and down any man who
would wear n red shirt while working
on the section. for Jack had seen that
shirt and thought it was red flag and
stopped the train"
Il had an experience myself not long
ago. spoke up another engineer. 1T
was since the new electric headlights
were put in. You know how they look
coming up the track. They're so bright
you can't see anything else. and it's
hard to tell whether they arc moving
or not. | was running n freight. and
had pretty heavy train. We were
coming around curve just before
making siding to pass another train
when one of those electric headlights
flashed on me. l thought 1t was all
over with me, but l stopped to put on
the brakes and reverse, and hung on
just minute in the hope of getting
the train stopped before l jumped. The
grade wasn't very heavy. and 1 got
the train stopped all right Before ]
started to jump l looked again. L dis
covered then that the light didn't seem
to be any nearer. L investigated, and
found that the other train was at a
stand still waiting for me at the
switch."-Salt Lake Herald.

portant work of the session is being performed, but it is behind closed doors. The more serious questions with which congress has to deal are almost invari- q discussed and settled in committee. IT. s, the various phases of each situ- ation may be discussed and their ad- vantag ,s and disadvantages dwelt upon without the publicity which attaches to discussions held upon the floors of congress and without the views of every senator or representative being heralded to the world by the alert news papermen who thrOng the Hobbies.

ONLY two of the great countries of the world have been exempt from the periods of depression that followed the great commercial boom of few years ago. These are the United States and France, the latter because she did not participate in the great industrial struggle that has brought disaster to England and Germany. The United States has more than held her own on account of the prosPerous and peaceful conditions within her borders.

A SCIENTIST has discovered method that will make it impossible to mix milk and water, having in mind the practice of adulterating milk in many of the large cities. Judging by the component parts of some of the stutT that comes from the milk man it would be advantageous to provide against the mixing of chalk with water.

THERE is going to be contest in the effort to make the Census Bureau per- mancnt on account of the clause that will affect the standing of the em- ployees under the civil service rules. Democrats favor putting all the clerks under the civil service when the change is made. because if this is not done their appointees will probably be thrus. out under the present Republi- can regime. The commission and President Roosevelt are said to be op- posed to having the present force of clerks sheltered under the protecting wings of the classified service.

A MONOGRAPH has just been issued by the Treasury Bureau of Statistics that shows the most marvellous growth of this country in recent years. a growth not exceeded by any country in any age within like period. The bulletin is entitled "The Growth of the United States in Its Material Industries" and points out the increase in production, in commerce and in wealth. Among the most notable things to which it calls attention are the large increase of money in circulation, of deposits in savings banks, and of the number of de- pOsitors.
