 Fell From Stack.
 While painting a smokestack at the Robertstown furnace this afternoon, Paul Porter lost his balance and fell distance of about forty feet. striking feet fore most on an iron floor and received se- rious injuries, from which he will be long in recovering.
 The fall was witnessed by numerous worlxmen, who held their breath as the negro shot through the air, and say that if was remarkable that his brains were not dashed out on the frame work through which he fell. but it was prob ably the check the descent was given by his striking against these pieces which saved him from death.
 Kennedy Bros ambulance was called and the injured man taken to the Reed CTS hospital Both legs and several ribs
  bruised but it is expected that he will recover. Porter is a good negro and q valuable workman. His employees will do all they can to get him back oh his feet as soon as possible.

WORLD RAILWAY STATISTICS
America Leads the Earth in the Num-
Der and Efficiency of It's Aven-
ues of Commerce.


That America leads the world
in the number and efficiency of its
railroads is of course common
knowledge.
At the close of the last century
North America had no less than
22O,SS0 miles of track in opera
ton, while the total for Europe,
Asia, Africa, Australia and South
America was only a trihe greater
-about 100000 miles. The United
states then had a mile of road for
every 1888 inhabitants, Europe one
for every 2,267, and British India
one for every 12,400. This coun-
try invented the parlor, sleeping
and dining cars, the pressed steel
freight car, many of the best fea-
lures of the modern locomotive,
the air brake, the automatic coup
Ter and a host of related devices,
and it runs the fastest long dis
lance trains.
One of the most marvellous de-
yelopments in the whole railroad
system is that which has taken
place at the head of a train in the
last 20 years.
The best locomotives to-day are
about four times as long as the De
Witt Clinton 1S3D, a foot or two
higher, have drivers that are y
Tor even so inches in diameter, in
stead of only "a, and carry 200
pounds of steam instead of only
so. But these figures afford no
idea ofsthe real gain that has been
effected in power. Relative to the
other features, the boiler has
grown abnormally, while the
smokestack has actually dimin-
ished in size. In the De Witt Gin
ton the smokepipe was as big as
the boiler. One does not realize
what modern science has done for
this type of engine until he is told
that it has pull of from 16 to 80
tons, as against 919 pounds!
A locomotive built not long ago
for the Santa Fe road weighed
1881 tons. Trevethick's engine,
built just century ago, weighed
fivel Stephenson's Rocket 1920
was several pounds lighter. Even
between 1850 and 1860 the aver.
age weight of passenger locomo-
tive was 20 tons and of a freight
engine 30. At the close of the ifs.
cal year there were in operation
in the United States 1915, 1887 miles
OF track, or within about $4,000
miles of the total for North Amer
lea.

First Church Organ.

April 10 is a memorable date for
ecclesiastical musicians, who
claim that on this day in 7S7 King
Pepin placed the first organ
which he had procured from the
Byzantine emperor - in the
Church of st. Cornelius, at Com
piegne. 1t was a pneumatic or
gan, with leaden pipes, played by
an Italian priest, who had taken
lessons at ConstantinopIe. But
about that time 'the king of in.
struments" was quite familiar to
our Saxon ancestors. They bred
some clever organ-builders, not
ably the deyil-daunting st. Dun
stan, who erected an organ with
brass pipes" made by himself at

VALUE OF CHAIRS RELATIVE
One Set Owned by Louis XIV. Brings
100000 Were Originally
Made for Marie Antoinette.

The value of chairs is strictly
relative. Enormous prices have
been paid for chairs in recent
years, notably 100000 for a set
of half a dozen Louis XIV. chairs,
upholstered in Gobelin tapestry,
which were originally made for
Marie Antoinette. Even this
price, by the way, was exceeded by
the sums paid for three of the
Hamilton Palace tables, one of
which brought $4,000
A most valuable and historical
" interesting suite of furniture is
that which, more than a century
ago, was presented by Warren

which was purchased at the

How Balloons Dispose of the Aged.
"ln certain parts of South AZ
rica," said Thomas Asbaldistone
of johannesburg, there are
balloons which carry into prac-
teal operation the doctrines of
DR.. Osler. These simians have no
earthly use for the aged of their
own tribes and when one of their
kind gets too old to help himself
the rest ostracize him completely,
neither tolerating his society nor
helping him to sustain life. Never
was there an exhibition of such
callOus and cold blooded indiffer-
ence as these 'babyans' show to
their helpless old. One of our
scienti men who had made
study OF this phase of their life
told me that in this treatment of
the aged by the balloons the the
DRY of Darwin was indicated, and
that there need be no further
search of the missing link"

most exquisitely carved. But
probably the most costly chair in
the world is one of the many treas,
ures of the shah of Persia. It's Of
solid gold-thickly incrusted with
diamonds, rubies, pearls and sap
phires, and its value is estimated
at half million pounds. In the
house of commons at West
minister are two arm-chairs which
once belonged to Gladstone, and
one of which was his favorite seat
when at Downing street.
A short time ago a romantic
story was told in the French pa
pers of two dilapidated arm
chairs which were sold among the
effects of a Nine. Borg, a widow,
who died at Dellys, an Algerian
seaport town. The widow was re-
puted to be rich, but a thorough
search of her rooms failed to dis
close any of her hoardings, and it
was assumed by her relatives that
she had died practically penniless.
Not long after the sale of her
furniture, however, it was OBJ
served that the purchaser of the
chairs, Spanish stevedOre named
Perez, ceased to work, began to
walk about in fine clothes, to pur-
chase land and houses and gener-
ally gave evidence of having come
into fortune. Suspicion being
aroused, Perez was arrested, and
now stands accused of having APP
propriated to his own use the old
lady's fortune, Of at least 500, 600,
which had been concealed by her
in the dilapidated arm-chairs.
