Warren 8. Hall, general manager Of
the Lehigh Valley Transit company,
formerly Of the Public Service Corpo-
ration Of New Jersey, predicts that

says a special dispatch from Allen
town. Pa. to the New York Times. he
says that it is bound to come in great
metropolitan centers as well as on sub
urban and long cross country lines.
Mr. Hall bases this conclusion on the
Increased cost Of all materials for elec-
tic railways. He said recently:
Trolley men are aghast at the price
Of copper. It has gone up to 20 cents
4 pound, and I would not be surprised
if It were soon to cost IS cents. Fiji
teen and even ten years ago first class
ties could be bought for 18 cents apiece.
Most Of the roads built ten to fifteen
years ago arc being reconstructed, and
the price Of hrst class ties Is 60 to IS
ceots.
Poles for the overhead construction
have gone up In the same ratio. Rails
which formerly cost $1s to $50 ton
now cost as high as $38 a ton. The

WALK WITH THE BOYS.

2D Dr.. William Osler's new book, copy
of which was recently received by his
friend, Dr.. Henry NJ. Hurd Of Johns
Hopkins university, says a Baltimore
special dispatch to the New York
Times. Upon the question Of age limit
sof mans utility the physician whose
l;yiews, on this subject provoked so
much discussion last winter says in his
book:
4 when man nor wax nor honey can
bring home, he should, in the interests
of an institution, be dissolved from the
hive to give more laborers room. /

him a basil plant to feed on the brains
of the bright young men who follow the
great wheel up hill. but to keep his
mind receptive, plastic and impression
able he must travel with the men who
are doing the work OF the world, the
men between the ages Of twenty five
and forty"
y Here Is some Of his advice to STU
dents:
Throw away, in the first place, all
ambition beyond that Of doing the
days work well. AS to the method Of
work, I have single bit Of advice:
Take no thought for the morrow; live
neither. IN the past nor the future, but
let each days work absorb your entire
energies"
On the way men die the doctor
writes:
{ a.As rule man dies as he has lived,
uninhuenced, practically, by thought Of
q future life. I have careful records Of
about 500 deathbeds, studied particu-
larH with reference to the modes Of
death and the sensations Of the dying.
Ninety suffered bodily pain and dis
tress Of some sort or another, eleven
showed mental apprehension, two posi-
tive terror, one expressed spiritual ex-
.aitation anu. one bitter remorse. The
great majority gave no sign one way or
the other. Like their birth, their death
was q sleep and a forgetting. The
preacher was right: In this matter man
hath no pre- eminence over the beast.
As one dieth, so deth the other"
