ENCOURAGING TO 4RaTEL rns.

How to eliminate human carlessness from the operation of railroads is a problem whose solution would mean much. New Zealand is a progressive country, and some people there think they have found something which will make collisions of railroad trains im- possible, or, at least, not probable. They have invented and are using a system known as the tablet system. The essential point in the new system is that no engine driver is allowed to leave
 a station without tablet in his posses sion, and the element of safety rests on the fact that the machines are so
 made that it is impossible for two, of the tablets to be out at the same time. 1 Thus if a driver leave Auckland for
 Newmarket with a tablet, that tablet
 has to be deposited in the machine at Newmarket before another tablet is is-
 sued allowing return train to leave
 that station for Auckland, and the
 electrical connection between the two
 stations makes it impossible to extract tablet from the Auckland machine
 until the first tablet has been placed in the machine at Newmarket.
 This looks encouraging but perhaps
 some human blunderbuss will manage
 to beat it. If he doesn't it will be a wonder.

THE FUTURE or THE IRON
 

THE FUTURE or THE IRON
 HORSE.
 Engineers and railroad men every where will watch with interest the ex- periments which are to be made at Schenectady in few days with the first of the electric locomotives that will be used in the equipment of the New York Central terminal in this city. It is about seventeen years since the street roads in this country began to operate by electric power, and those who have been interested in the deve- lopment of this system of traction have confidently predicted it's eventual introduction in the greater and more important field of railroading. where heavier loads have to be carried and longer distances covered. The New York Central terminal is the most im- portant work of it's kind yet under taken in this country by electrrial men, and their handling of it means much to the transportation interests. Sc the completion of the locomotive and the experiments with it form an epoch in railroading.

It seems to be almost the unanimous sentiment of the army, says Inspector General Burton in his report to the Secretary of War, that the one thing lacking to meet the soldiers wants and tastes is the canteen feature. The ab- sence of this leads to sickness, the conn mission of military offenses, desertion and other crimes. as well as impaired discipline, by driving men to resort to the low dives and grogeries, that have sprung up like mushrooms around mill itary reservations since the prohibition law was enacted. In fact, the canteen feature is not only a benefit morally, but the profits derived from the sales of beer and light wines are used to improve the mess as well as for the purchase of periodicals. publications, etc, all of which add to the soldiers comfort and contentment.

I will answer one or two questions that are often put to me. Does it require much capital to start in the rabbit fan ey? No, because the prices I have giv- en are not the prices of stock rabbits, but of show specimens it is from the animals that just fail to come up to show form that much of the breeding is done, and does and bucks for this purpose can be purchased at seven shil- lings sixpenee apiece from the strains of well known breeders.

The politeness of the Japanese has resulted in the development of num- Der of neat little customs. One of them is the manner in which hostess gets rid of an unwelcome guest. She does not hint that the time is about up for his stay or that she is going visiting soon, but sets to work preparing a dainty luncheon which she packs in 8 little box, ties up with ribbon and pa- per and hands to the guest some morn ing.

Motor Building In France.

Probably few foreigners have any
idea of the extent to which the motor
car industry has been developing in
France. says the Autocar. Last year
there We're seventy makers of complete
chassis, turning out $4,000 vehicles.
During the present year this number
has been enormously increased. It is
clear that If all these makers are to do
a profitable business there must be Il
rapid increase of demand. But as long
as prices are SO high this desired in
crease is not likely to be required. Max
ers have been giving special attention
to the export trade. which has grown
at phenomenal rate during the past
two years. and as the value of auto
cars sent abroad during the FIRST ter
months OF the year totaled nearly A.
100000 francs it is certain that the ex-
ports for 1908 will exceed E2,000,O0O.

NEW CORN AND COB RECORD
Missouri Farmers Who VIII Shell

Missouri Farmers Who VIII Shell
Their Corn Before Selling 1t.
According to good authorities, the
highest average amount Of corn TO the
cob that can be raised is about SO per
cent corn and IL per cent cob. But the
high authorities had not heard from
Missouri when they figured up their
average. and two Cooper county farm
ers have recently made it look like &c
cents. says the Kansas City Journal.
w. ]. Mcfarland of near Boonville
recently weighed seventy pounds of
corn in the ear. He then shelled the
corn and weighed corn and cobs sepa-
rately. The corn weighed sixty-fOur
and one-half pounds and the cobs five
and one-half pounds. making 90 II per
cent corn and CT per cent cob. The
corn was exhibited at the Boonville
corn show. r. B. Johnston of Clark's
Fork, who made a display at the Boon
vile show of thirty nine pounds of
corn, found after Smelling it that his
corn weighed thirty-four and one-ha1f
pounds and his cobs four and one-half
pounds-that is, he raised 50 6-13 per
cent corn to II 7-13 per cent cob.
In almost all the states of the Union
seventy pounds of corn on the cob is
considered Il bushel and fifty -six pounds
off the cob. 1t would pay men who
raise such corn as do Messrs McFar-
land and Johnston to shell their corn
before selling it.
