STOKES-ADAMS SYNCOPE

Mr. A. J. Cassatt is reported to have
died OF heart disease. complicated with
what Is known to the medical profession
as the Stokes-Adams syncope. This pn-
usual affection is characterized by sew
eral striking symptoms. the principal be,
ing an extremely slow pulse, occasional
fits of syncope, or fainting, also attacks
OF vertigo, and not unfrequently there
are epileptic seizures during the progress
of the disease. Sometimes the head symp-
toms suggest mind apop!etic strokes.
The cause OF the malady is somewhat
obscure. Although the symptoms are
usually associated with a fatty or degen-
Grated heart muscle, they also occur In
connection with diseases OF other organs.
Ry some authorities the malady Is sup
posed 10 be due TO central changes In the
brain influencing the heart movement.
The hardening OF the arteries common IN
elderly people is also considered leading
factor. also kidney disease and various
toxic agents.
In Mr.. Cassatt's case IL is quite likely
that the central trouble was In the heart
and that the continuous slow beat Of the
organ and it's sudden and final arrest OF
action were due 20 dcEeneratlvc changes

THE TERRA GOTTA DISASTER.

Another rear end collision, this time in the
suburbs of Washington, has destroyed forty three
human lives and terribly manned and battered half
a hundred other unfortunates. Rear-end collisions
are more deadly than any other kind of railway
disasters, and they have become unpardonably fire.
quent in this country.
1t was in just such a catastrophe as this that
President Spencer and several of his guests lost
their lives little more than month ago. Now
comes this Terra Gotta wreck with its appalingly
greater sacrifice of life.
And it resulted from the same old cause.-The
train that caused the shocking havoc entering
stretch of track already occupied by another train
and crashing into it killing and mangling the un-
fortunate passengers who were unable to escape
There is neither evidence nor even sugges-
ton that the collision was due to a misplaced
switch, so that the accident seems attributable to
the failure OF the engineer the rear train to OBJ
serve the danger signal on account of the fog pre-
vailing at the time
There appears to be little doubt the signal was
properly set that fact has been established by
testimony that is seemingly entirely trustworthy.
Therefore, it is probable that responsibility rests
with the engineer who his train far beyond the
point at which he should have discovered the sig
nal warning him of the danger ahead.
One report states that the engineer was new
man. If that be true the companys responsibility
is far greater than can be measured by verdicts in
suits to recover damages. On the other hand, if he
is experienced man, familiar with the signals
and their location his action in driving his train in
to block already occupied by another is compre-
hensbe only on the theory that he was wantonly
negligent.
1t is evident that somebody's blunder caused
this awful destruction of human life. That some
body should be held to strict accountability

The slippery snakes that would stink

And the bears that would crlnge and

The hunter can feel them there
Nearer and nearer the creatures creep
Through the shadows along the floor,
Till they vanish at last in a mist OF
