SPEED OF RAILWAY TRAINS.
Differing Views of Experts as to
Wherein the Danger Lies,

In answer to our question as to the
Martin f. Knapp, chairman Of the In.
terstate Commerce Commission, saws
that, within limits, the whole question
is one Of conditions, and adds: "The
rate of speed entirely safe on one line
might be positively dangerous on an.
ether, says writer in Leslie's Weekly.
"The varying circumstances on differ.
ent lines would seem to preclude any
rule Of general application" President
Ripley Of the Santa Fe Road-who re-
Gently caused special train to run be-
tween Los Angeles and Chicago in rec
ord-breaking time-says that the only
difference In a fast train compared
with slow train is that the fast
train is composed Of fewer cars than
the slow train, and that, having none
Of the dead weight represented by ex-
press and mail cars Of the slow trains
between the engine and the passenger
cars, the passengers on the shorter
train are more liable to injury in case
of accident. President Wilcox of the
Delaware and Hudson Road thinks
there is tendency to operate freight
trains much too rapidly. though his
road has record of not having killed
a passenger during the last eleven
years. President Underwood of the
Erie road compares fast train to
skyscraper, saying that a man who
falls from the top Of such a building
receives injuries no greater than does
man who falls from the fifth story.
President Barr of the Seabord Air Line
says that high-speed trains receive
more care and greater protection than
slow-speed trains do, as all employees
are required to facilitate and protect
the movement of high-speed trains to
the utmost. G.. M. Basford, editor of
the American Engineer and Railroad
Journal, says that until our railroads
have more uniform installation of the
signaling system, as in England, we
should not greatly increase the speed
Of trains. And yet, asked why it is
that the fatalities on English railways
are so much smaller than on American
railways, President Newman of the
New York Central SAID: 81 do not be-
lieve there is any such great dispro-
portion in fatalities on roads In this
country and in England, considering
the differences in conditions. 1t is, in
deed, impossible to make fair or just
or intelligent comparison"

A favorite sport with the morose
scientist is to annihilate Cupid. Oc-
casionally this is varied by giving
him spectacles to remedy his blind
ness. Mr.. Forbes Winslow, brain
specialist in Washington, d. c., is the
latest executioner of Cupid. Accord
ing to him love is thing of the past.
Higher education and development,
he says, are killing the divine pas
sion. He claims to have discovered,
in his study Of brains, the qualities
that have routed Cupid from his prom
ised place in human affairs; and he
points out the diminishing numbers
of suicides occasioned by love, and
other tragedies of the heart, as sub
sanitation for his statements. 1t is
perilous to question the correctness of
scientific research as prosecuted in
this day. But is not science going
beyond its legitimate fields when it
prowls over into the domain of the
emotions and affections 1t is hard
to believe that love is dead One has
only to follow closely the days hap
penings to know that there is no per-
ceptibte decrease in the number of
heart tragedies. In this matter the
world is much the same all over, and
it changes but little. Men and women
still love and grow jealous, as they
have from the beginning. The double
murder and suicide that are prompted
by jealousy are still too common to
permit the belief that Cupid has been
made to see. The runaway match in
which love is too strong for surrouna
Ing Influences occurs too frequently to
leave any question as to loves power.
Love is still one of the fundamental
verities Of life. 1t is as natural as
birth, or death. 1t is a part Of this
life, despite life's universal artificial
ty, and it will continue to be so wher
ever men and women continue to be
human, in spite of the best efforts of
the scientists.

OLDEST TEA faster DEAD.
His Rare Judgment of the Fragrant
Leaf Drew Salary of $4,000.


Leaf Drew Salary of $4,000.
Edward Farr, who was one of the
most expert tea tasters and buyers of
the country, died at his home, 2743
Semple avenue, recently.
Mr.. Farr was nearly 81 years of age,
and had been in the tea business for
sixty eight years. He was known
throughout Canada and the United
States as one of the comparatively few
tea experts. In his prime he was
faster and buyer for the largest tea
houses In America. For years he COM
manded salary of $4,000 per ear, the
highest salary ever paid in this coun-
try to man of his calling.
He was born In England. October %.
1921, and came to the United States
when about 10 years of age. His
knowledge Of teas secured him employ
nIent as a faster and buyer, and for
years he was connected with the larg-
est tea houses Of the tea-growing coun-
tries In the interest of his firm. Be-
fore the Civil War lie was In the tea
brokerage business for himself, and
was. considered a man of wealth. At
the close of the war he came to st.
Louis and opened a tea brokerage
business.
The last few years of his life he had
been engaged in selling tea and was
considered as good a salesman as he
was a buyer. There was nothing in
the t9a business that he did not know.
and he gave his customers the benefit
Of his knowledge of teas. Every day
he drove over the city, visiting his Gus
toners. While advanced in years, he
was very active and attended to his
trade until two weeks before his death.
When boy of IA, Mr.. Farr was ap-
prenticed, after the British fashion of
those days, to tea merchant in his
home town, London. There he was
given a most careful training in judg-
ing teas by taste and appearance, and
within a few years after his appren-
tceship he came to New York and be-
came buyer and taste; of teas for a
great importing house.
For sixty-eight years he had tasted
teas, practically every day, yet no i'll
effects were felt by him. This he
ascribed to the fact hat the tea faster
does not swallow The tea which he
takes into his mouth.
IF you swallow the tea," he would
say, you cannot taste, it. 1t must be
rolled over the tongue like wine to get
the flavor and held, while steaming
under the nose, to get the aroma. =

Railroads running out Of London
have put on a series of trains known
as drunkards' expresses, in which in
toxicated persons are conveyed, to the
great relief Of the travelling public
generally, and also the benefit of the
drunkards themselves. No one likes TO
be herded and labeled, and 1t is said
that men who used to go home drunk
every night now dodge the obnoxious
conveyance by keeping sober.

dominate the trade Of South America
we have endeavored to make our Gus

of the most interesting features of the trip through the Simplon Pass is the Simplon hospice. Napoleon provided for this hospice in his plan of the SimplOn route, the engineer of which was M. Lescot. The estimated cost was something like B, ,0OO pounds, but work on it ceased at the time of Ma poleon's overthrow. It was also in tended for barracks in case of need. In 1925 work upon it was renewed by the Augustine monks of St Bernard, who devoted all the money necessary. The four brethren who make it their life-home, provide food and shelter for the traveller to the extent of over ten thousand persons year. A good din ner with wine is given, or else lunch, and nothing is asked; but such as can afford it put the fair price in a contri- button box. The building contains 300 rooms,a beautiful place of worship, and in one room is portrait of Napo- leon and his court. Many magnificent St Bernard dogs are kept by the monks. It is only half. hour walk to the old hospice built by the Stockalpel family.

The popular 1ndorsement received from every quarter of the world has brought success and fame to the name of Deering to an extent never Surpass- ed by any other in the agricultural world. Since the early days when Deering harvesting machtnes were first given to the farmer to Tighten his labor and increase his reward, Deer ing Ideals have occupied an unassail- able position in the front rank of la bor-saving farm machines. Among other achievements due to Aeering genius is the introduction of roller and ball bearings as applied to harvesting machines-gifts to the agricultural world that have strongly entrenehedl the name of Deering in the hearts o1 farmers. The reason for Deering sue cess is easily found. A never ceas1n9 vigilance conscientiously carries out every detail of manufacture according to the time-honored peering purpose of producing only machines that art Ideal in every sense of the word. Al
 a further assurance of perfection, th' finished machines are thoroughly in spected and tested before they leave
