NEW HAVEN, Conn, Oct. s.-Some Of the

DISMAL FUTURE.
Robert Hunter Pictures Bleak Exist
 ence for Underfed Children

In the discussion of the problem of the underfed child in his article. '"The Herit- age of the Hungry in The Reader, MT.
 Robert Hunter says:
 Indeed. l wonder how many charity derfed children; l do not mean senti- mentally,-because their faces haunt one until one sends them enough food to cover their need for a few days,-but
 how many agents really consider how great an element these underfed little ones must inevitably be in the poverty problem of the future and how much the energies of all social workers must needs be spent upon these lives that are chron- ically underfed. As a rule you may not expect much of these children; you may not expect much of their youth nor of their manhood; their lives will not be effective ones, and the children, which
 they will bring into the world, you may not expect much of them either, for they too, will be underfed. To be sure, an appalling proportion of the underfed chill dren die. but even those who live con tinue to be underfed. and consequently must show throughout life the signs of physical underdeyelopment. They are stunted; they are weak; they tire easily; they are quick to despair; they get any disease that may be about, and they are
 too weak to resist the attacks of disease; their recovery is slower, when they do
 recover, and they are long in convales-
 cling because they are underfed they are
 more than likely to bear the permanent defects which some diseases leave behind
 them, and then, as Is so commonly the
 case, they are dull mentally and back
 ward in school Thus begins new
 series of so-called misfortunes, for when a child once gives evidence of be- ing backward. all sorts of things help him downward he soon tires in play. and, being no equal in anything for the better-fed boys. he loses the cumulative spirit and becomes shftless and lazy. In the end he is more than likely to be
 one of those casually employed, half working, half-loafing derelicts which
 make up so large proportion of our dependent classes.

A DAY IN MoNTEvALLo.

As one approaches Montevallo he asks where Is the town and the school and is told to look over toward the hill where the school building stands much above any other neighboring structure We took bus, which by the way, was filled with young women who had the same desti- nation and drove nearly mile through the little city up to the college where we found the grounds literally covered with girls of all ages. We were taken at once to a large reception room where all the pupils were registered and assigned to their respective rooms. The building Is five floors high and is quite modern in every respect Each floor contains num- Der of porcelain tubs with hot and cold water Every room is lighted by electric ity and is well ventilated
 Dr. Peterson says that this year as many pupils as he can take care of are al- ready enrolled and he looks forward to the time when the left wing is completed, So that all the Alabama girls who want to enter can be made comfortable.
 While the school is filled a great many pupils are boarding in private families near the grounds.
 The dining room is on the first floor and as we went in to see the girls at their midday meal the scene was interesting. All were chattering and talking. The old pupils were telling each other how glad they were to return and the new ones were being introduced
 The chapel is just to the right of the main building. which contains many of the class rooms besides the study hall.
 The Montevallo school is very much larger than one would expect and Dr. Peterson says that he hopes to be able in a few years to increase the size of the building. and in this way increase the capacity of the school s4s

AN INGENIOUS DEVICE.
Idea of an Indiana Man to Prevent
 Railroad Wrecks.

From the Indianapolis Star.
 J. E. Steigelmeyer, a member of the city fire department, is the inventor of a system which. it is claimed by prominent machinists, will successfully prevent wrecks on railroads and in many other ways make travelling safer both for the public, the employees and the railroad companies.
 The new invention is an addition to the ''block" system. The system has been perfected by MT. Steigelmeyer after sev- eral years of hard work, and he has ap- piled for patents. As soon as they are is- sued he will arrange for a practical test of his scheme, and will then organize company for the manufacture and sale of his patent.
 The new system is one which acts di- rectly upon the throttle of the locomotive, regardless of the attention or inattention of the engineer. The patent is so arranged that each time a signal Is ignored the engine is automatically stopped, and at the same time a record of the stop is made in the sgnalman's tower, recording the exact time 1t occurs. At the end of his nin the enginer must explain the req sons for the stop. Thus, 1t Is claimed, will the watchfulness of the engineer be in- creased instead of diminished. as it has been by the former block system.
 
 the name of the new device. The con trolling power by which the engine is stopped is electricity, while the operating power Is compressed air taken from the train line pipe. battery at the bottom of the signal post connected with a cop per plate at the top of the post, which, in turn, is connected with a roller arm on the arm of the signal post, and a short rail in the middle of the railroad track, completes the mechanism of the system as far as the track Is concerned.
 On the engine is a small wheel which comes in contact with the short wheel B in the center of the track. Here also Is what is known as a pony truck wheel and copper disc with an electric brush. which is connected with throttle-closing cylinder. The air from the train line pipe is taken up through the cylinder which is controlled by an electric magnet on top of the cylinder.
 With the signals and the engines equipped thus any engine attempting to pass a signal set at block will auto matically be brought to standstill The trolley wheel coming in contact with the short rail in the center of the track, and tho pony truck wheel coming in contact with the main rail. completes the circuit which charges the magnet and in this way automatically closes the trottle and sets the brakes. On the other hand, when the signal is set ''clearance,' there is no circuit completed, and the train passes the signal post untouched.
 Some advantages of the system are that in case the engineer is dead or asleep and the signal is set against him the train is brought to a stop without loss to the company or injury to the train. The

MT. F. H. Hartman handles more

MT. E. Il. Hartman handles more detail than any other man in the United States, says c. M. Keys in The Worlds Work. He expects from his officers full details of all departments at all times. If they do not come he asks for them by telegraph, and experience shows that he needs to ask only once. He is chairman, president, general manager, superintendent of construc- tion, chief engineer and traffic director of every road in his system. The regu- lar officers in those positions are his understudies.
 Practically, MT. Hartman says: "Wo shall relay with 80-pound rails this year 500 miles of track on the main line west of New Orleans. We shall spend $5,000,000 in tunnel in the Sier- ras. We shall build bridge across Salt Lake. From MT. Hood 1 want en- gineers' specifications on the tunnel and the bridge. From MT. Kruttschmitt and MT. Calvin and MT. Stubbs I want assistance. shall supply the plans myself"

system Is such that should a train break in two or an air hose break the engine Is shut down. as the throttle works in harmony with the brakes. and as the brakes are set the throttle will close. The system also throws a safeguard around the travelling public in the case of de- rail, for if the signal is set at block the engine will be stopped before the derail Is reached.
 Railroad men who have examined MT Steigelmeyers patent are astounded al the simplicity of the mechanism and be- lieve the system a great success. With this system in use, they say, the danger of railroad travelling will be reduced 90 per cent. They also say that it is entirely practical.
