Rev. Mr.. Roberts, or Brother Roberts,"
as he is more Familiarity known, has at
tended three full dozen condemned men
upon the scaffold, some white and some
colored He spends the greater part of
his spare time looking after prisoners in
the District jail, particularly those who
are accused of murder. Before coming
here from North Carolina several years
ago he was engaged in assisting the spir-
itual welfare of murderers. The missionary
also helped the state officials to capture
persons who were wanted for murder, be-
citizen to render such aid. He was re-
sponsible for the apprehension of several
murderers in North Carolina. While he
spends most of his time looking after
the spiritual wants of criminals, he is still
willing to lend the authorities helping
hand in the matter of experimenting them.

their locomotives can haul longer ana heaV
Ter trains 1t is asserted that the amount
of fuel will haul today nearly twice as
much freight as could have been hauled
Afteen wears ago. This economy has Deen
accomplished not only by rebuliding Tue
tracks but by improvements in the ma
cbinery and by diminishing the resistance
There Is apparatus by which railway en-
Rineer can determine the exact amount OF
resistance met by train upon any Iniie VI
track under his control, and the reductlon
of this resistance to minimum is the nigh
ear and most important duty he has to per-
form.
The study of the problem has been SO
thorough that the resistance of the air TO q
moving train is now considered FACTOR OF
Importance. and methods are being devised
10 reduce 1t as much as possible This Is
especially important because OF the IN
creased speed that has been adopted by the
great trunk lines for their limited trains.
The greater the speed the greater the re-
ststance from atmosphere and the greater
the consumption OF fuel. II the resistance
is diminished the speed Will be increased
and fuel can be saved.
Those who have attended speed contests
by bicycle riders have noticed that 1t Is
customary to send an automobile In al
vance of the rider, who shelters himself De-
hind it's bulk and thus avoids the resistance
of the atmosphere. The machine creates a
partial vacuum, through which he can ride
with less exertion than otherwise. Such
methods could not De adapted 10 railway

which are attached to the locomotive and
are intended to pierce and divide the at
mosphere like an arrow, which causes very
much less resistance than the square front
of a locomotive.
The French newspapers have reported
that the shield device has been quite sue
cessful and has effected asconstderapie saw

have any faith In 1t. When questioned, the
superintendent of motive power OF one of
the great trunk lines the other day said:
