Decrease In Railroad Building,

According to the figures given by the
Railway Age, the record Of railroad
building during the last half Of tho
fiscal year lately closed is smaller than
was expected. the total mileage being
only 2,221 miles.
Doubtless this was largely due to the
high price of steel rails and other ma-
terial used in construction. With such
prosperity rs the country has been ell
joying there las reason to expect a
great deal Of railroad building and to
SEQ some Of the lines needed in this
country completed, but owing to the
high price Of steel railroad companies
evidently concluded to postpone build
Ing for another year.
The work dono was mainly In the
way Of connecting completed lines and
In the far west and southwest. Rail
road building has practically ceased in
tho east. There were only two and a
half miles Of railroad built IN New
York, and only seven and half miles
in all New England. New Jersey,
Maryland and Delaware did not lay Il
mile Of track. 1t Is somewhat surpris-
ing to find that in the northwest, Ne
braska, South Dakota aud Wyoming,
also not mile Of new rails was laid.
Oklahoma and Texas lead in new
mileage. Louisiana added only seven
ty miles, less than expected and less
than 1t should have done when the in
ducements held out by the state In the
way Of exemption from taxation arc
considered. 1t Is expected that the
last half Of the year will make better
return.

Interference With Teleeraphv

less messages sent from Poldhu, Corn
wall, England, to Professor Fleming
who was lccturing on tho subject at
the Royal institution in London, has
caused commohon in tho British
telegrnphic and scientific world. Pro-
fcssor Fleming denies. with heat, that
he was using a syntonic apparatus, and
adds trlumphantly that this disposes
utterly Of Mr.. Maskelyne's pretense
that he had disprovcd tho secrecy of
the Marconi system by intereepting O

Experiment In Municipal Ownership

Experiment. In Municipal Ownership.
Tho public generally will watch with
keen interest the experiment In the
municipal ownership. and operation Of
traction lines provided for by the
Muller street railway oct passed by
tho last Illinois Legislature and now to
be put in operation In Chicago.
Briefly the Muller act empowers
any city In Illinois to own, acquire,
construct maintain and operate street
railways, or to lease them for periods
not longer than twenty years, upon a
popular vote accepting tho act and n
two-thtrds vote authorizing tho munic-
tpal authorities to buy or construct and
operate street railway, and also q
two-thirds vote providing for bonds or
other certificates Of indebtedness to
pay for such road, whether by pur-
chase or construction.
AS to fares ana terms Of leases, tho
act leaves oil to regulation by tho city
council, except that lenses or grants Of
franchises must not run more than
twenty years. The council may mako
oil rules and regulations, including
fares, when tho city operates the road
itself and may incorporate into leases
| and grants Of franchises such terms
| as 1t deems for the best interest OF tho
municipality. Tho oct provides also
that the street cars may be used to
carry parcels and mail rs we'll as pas
sengers. Provision is made for tho
payment Of bonds and for tho publica-
ton Of accounts Of municipal rail-
| ways.
Naturally tho act was opposed by
tho existing street railway Companies
In Chicago, but 1t passed both branches
Of the Legislature by an overwhelming
vote and was favored by both the can
didntes for mayor in the last Chicago
election. Tho Chicago corporation will
probably fight to retain their present
privileges. But litigation is discour-
aged by the fact that the Muller bill
was carefully drawn by prominent at
torneys employed by Chicago and that
the legality of Its provisions was pro-
nounced valid by tho attorney general
| Of the state.
This Is the beginning Of perhaps the
most important experiment in the
municipal control Of street railroads
yet undertaken in this country, and It's
success or failure will unquestionably
| have q marked effect ,r,on the ouestion
| in other cities.

newspaper sermons on modern finance
and flnanciers, because it is generally
beloved that MIR. Schwab, for we'll un.

that "the predominant feeling OF right

M. schwab's final breakdown, after re-
eetying many rude bufYets Of fortune,
Is one Of pity. Ho seems q victim.
His generation and the system of great
finance upon which it was his lot to
foil have proved too much for him.
The fine natural abilities with which he
set out. the physical vIgor, tho mental
energy, the technical training, the
mastery Of men-today they all appear
but as 80 much splendid promise
wrecked. The vast and remorseless
machinery Of financial speculation hos
drawn him In and left him bruised and
bleeding. But he has been uncon-
sciously n powerful moral teacher. He
has revealed to tho observant the true
nature Of that world Of high finance
into which he 80 rashly ventured, with
oil Its desperate chances aud wild au-
dacity and gamblers passion, so do
structive, as we see, to physical and
moral life alike. He has shown us
what comes Of thinking In hundred
millions and living in n mad revelry Of
luxury. The gct:rich-quick method Of
Wall street appears, in tho light of Mr..
Schwab's misfortunes, no better
morally, and not even any moro sue
cessful in the long run, than Heecing
schemes on the Bowery. And he has
done not little to remind us that the
old fashioned moralities and tho we'll
tried rules of business are still supreme.

Lesson of oalssord Park Disastor.

Lesson of OalSfoTd Park Disaster.
The collapse Of the dam at. Oakford
Park. Pa, resulting IN disaster in
which more than score Of lives were
lost, was reported to have been caused
by a cloudburst. This is convenient
hypothesis. 1t permits .those respon-
sible for tho calamity to take refuge
behind IAN act Of God, end gives sur
giving friends and relatives such, con-
ISOLATION as may be derived from the
conviction that. the visitation was
something not to be averted by human
agency.
Tho impression seems quito generally
to prevail that clouds Gre constructed
somewhat like water bags, which per-
NIT their contents to exude harmlessly
through their porous envelopes, but If
these envelopes are torn or SO, dam
aged as to permit them to empty their
contents oil ut once nothing in tho
way Of or engineering structure can
stand the dissolving and displacing
action Of the escaped water. AS O
matter Of fact there Is no such thing
as cloudburst. Normal conditions
may and sometimes do produce q sud-
den precipitation Of great volume, and
the outpouring may be paroxysmal and
suggest the descent Of floods from the
upper a1r, but 1t Is only rain, after all,
and nothing like cloudburst ever does
or over can occur. Tho causes pro-
ducing exceptional precipitation orc
various and not always recognized; but
they are liable to become operative at
any moment In tho mountain districts
and when they do the gullies are
quickly congested, not being large
enough at the bottom to carry away
great deal more tatn than they ordi-
narily have to dispose Of. Thus dams
are swept away.
The reason that Oakford Park dam
gave way. as has been the case Of
many like disasters. can DO easily and
briefly explained. 1t wds either not
built strong enough or 1t was not kept
in repair. For this condition somebody
was responsible, and the matter is one
for tho searching inquiry Of a"grand
jury. There are, no doubt, many such
dams throughout tho country, and the
lesson Of this catastrophe applies with
particular force to those who are
charged with their maintenance. Thor
ough examination OF these structures
should be made as precaution
against the recurrence of such disaste
as that in Pennsylvania. "Croud.
bursts" arc likely to be as frequent IN
tho future as"in the past, and the
older the dams tho greater the risk
attending the neglect Of repairs when
| needed.
