HAD THEIR MINDS ON RACE.
Neither of the Engineers Needed the
"Broke in Two" Signal.

The following story was told by
d. Mcnamara, assistant general pas
senger agent of the Wabash railroad
says the Kansas City Times:
From Clark to Mexico, Mo-, our
line runs almost parallel with that of
the Alton. The distance is about 20
miles. 1t is open country and the
grades are light The going is
good, and trains race with each other
as often as occasion offers.
Zone day two long freight trains,
one on each road, reached Clark
about together. A race, of course, was
in order Passing Centralia the Wa.
bash engineer turned partly around in
his cab and noting that the Alton
was minus a portion of his train gave
broke in two whistle signal for the
information of his rival. The Alton
man, hearing the signal himself, turn.
ed in his seat and observing that the
Wabash train was considerably short
er than when the race began, he
pulled the throttle open a notch or
two more and smiled as he looked for
ward to winning the contest. AS the
speed of the Wabash train continued
to increase the Alton man in a spirit
of banter gave with his whistle the
broke in two signal. AS there was
no apparent effort made to stop the
signal was repeated.
Again and again was the signal
given by the racing enginemen.
At length Mexico was reached, both
trains arriving there at the same time.
each engineer laughing at the Joke
he would have on his competitor when
the break would be discovered. AS
soon as he stopped at the Mexico
water tank the Alton man called
across the right of way:
How far you goin without your
tail lights?'
| The Wabash man, observing for the
first time his own predicament, said:
Gosh! but I thought you was whist
lin for your own hind end

cago & Alton, as he noticed regretful.

The plea made by Prof. Norton of
Yale university for national depart
ment of health is not to be ignored,
remarks the Troy Times. Yale has
taken up the matter, and other insti-
buttons and men of high professional
standing are giving attention. A bull
letin put forth by Yale's department
of social science reminds the Ameri-
can people that the four causes of
waste of human life and energy are
preventable death, preventable sick
ness, preventable conditions of low
physical and mental efficiency and pre-
ventable ignorance, and urges action
by the people through the government
to check this waste. Prof. Norton as
serts that not less than 100000 lives
can be saved in the United States an
nually by the employment of proper
means, and he puts the economic side
Of the question in almost startling
form. Estimating wages at one dollar
per day. which no doubt is far below
the average, the professor shows that
the yearly loss by Illness is consider
ably over $1,000. 100000, while by the
methods proposed at least half this
sum could be saved. In an era notable
for the economizing of force, that is a
statement to compel serious thought.

As 70 Railroad whistles.

There is a lot of agitation concern
ing unnecessary whistling" on rail-
road lines and the railroad commits
sioners have exercised the power
which they have to abrogate the law
reouiring whistling at crossings in
many places where complaint has
been made and where there is a cross
ing tender. There is a chance, how
ever, of the reform going too far,
whatever may have been the abuse.
Not every crossing is sufficiently pro-
tected. even with a crossing tender,
and the warning whistle prior to the
approach of the train is desirable not
only for the person who is at the
crossing and can be readily stopped
by the flagman or the gate, but also
for the person who is approaching the
crossing and is possibly deprived of a
clear view Of the guard and cannot be
so easily stopped. Not many engineers
foot their whistles for the fun OF it or
because they like additional noise,
and railroad regulations are not
framed for the purpose of making a
noisy advertisement of their lines.
The whistles are for public safety,
and this is still entitled to as much
consideration as are the sensitive
ears of those who were complaining
because they are disturbed by the
noise.-Haverhill Gazette.

Lowest TELEGRAPH Rates.

Spelling reform has had a new and
important development in a direction
which no one has heretofore thought
of. In Europe messages are charged
for according to the number of letters,
instead of words, as in this country
All transatlantic messages from
America are charged for by letter in
accordance with the European system
The adoption of spelling reform will
cause modification of the schedules
of the international telegraphic com
panies. and the consequent saving of
money. For example, thru" will have
TO be charged for as four letters in
stead OF six. as formerly. and so on
through the entire list. 1t will cause
no trouble to the operators, because
they for years have been using the
shortest form by which words could
be spelled without possibility of mis-
take. Consequently they will have
nothing new to learn.

government report, he must be pre-
pared for some gentle surprises: For
instance, on the front page of the in
genious work, it is frankly stated:
THE year (1905) was remarkable for
the number of fatalities to passengers
in train accidents; more, indeed, were
killed in this way than in any year
since 1882; while on page Is, the in
teresting counter-statement is set
forth: THE average numbers killed
and injured in previous years were
100 killed in the 25 years ending with
1904, and 1889 injured in the nine
years ending with 1904. A compari-
son of these figures for 1905 shows in
the latter year a slight increase in
the number of killed and a considera-
BILE increase in the number of injured.
But, taking the number of Journeys
into account, it will be found that in
1905, one passenger was killed in every
IL ,0O0.2O2 journeys; and one injured
in every 60S,023 journeys; as COM
pared with one in 8,394,206 killed and
one in 7O4, 657 injured, on the average,
in the previous periods of 20 years
showing that, in regard to the number
of journeys, there were fewer fatal
and more non-fatal accidents of this
class in 1905 than usual"
It will thus be seen that in one
section of the report it is pointed out
that 1905 was a record year for pas,
senger slaughter; while, in another
part, the figures go to show that ii
was mot so bad after ALL" This bears
out the saying that statistics were in
vented to prove either side of any
question.

would be frequent" that he proposed
to minimize the loss of life by attach
ing the train to the engine by long
rope, so that in the event of collision
only the engihemen would suffer.
Another adopted the expedient OF
a feather-bed placed between the buff
fers of the cars, so that "a shock
could not be transmitted" and a third
and still more ingenious patentee, pro.
posed fixing a pair of rails along the
top of the train, falling at gradient
fore and aft, so that in the event of
another train meeting or overtaking
it, the two could pass over and under
each other and both could go their
way rejoicing.

BEHIND THE TIMES.
ENGLISH RAILROAD LINES NOT
UP TO DATE.
Old Style Carriages and Few Tralnmen
-Employes Work Long Hours for
Low Wages-statisties as to
Fatalities.

Old-fashioned railway carriages on
English lines, with doors opening on
the sides, as relic of the year 1888,
when ordinary coaches were simply
mounted on railway trucks. Though
1t is recognized that these cars are
more than half century behind the
times, they are almost universally
used in England; especially for local
traffic, which is the heaviest. Ameri-
can corridor trains are in use on some
of the through lines running long dis
tances; but various British railroad
arrangements find antiquated side
door carriages" best for their purpose
which is mainly economy. In these
trains there is only one conductor, an
arrangement which also saves ex-
pense. In fact, even in corridor trains,
only one conductor is required. These
conductors, or guards" as they are
called, work long hours at very low
pay, the average wage being not more
than nine dollars a week. While 80
passengers were killed in what re-
port calls train accidents such as
collisions, derailments, etc.-109 addi-
tional passengers were killed, and
1872 injured by what the report
euphoniously terms "the movement OF
trains and railway vehicles exclusive
of train accidents"

Peary failed to reach the North
Pole, but he got nearer to that elusive
proposition than any other of the
numerous explorers who have tried to
penetrate to that arctic region that
has been so long an undiscovered coun-
try. He was within 1871 miles of the
pole, short distance from the point
desired, II the transportation In the
frozen north were equal to our own in
the matter of speed over good rail
roads. Peary beat the record OF Capt.
Cagni of the Italian Duke of Abruzzi
expedition by over 80 miles, and is to
be praised for his perslstency and
courage, but nevertheless. many are
asking what particular good has been
accomplished by his efforts? Even If
he had reached the regions where 1t
is claimed there are 100000 square
miles of unoccupied territory, would
this have been Of any benefit to hui
mainly at large? asks Boston Budget.
Would the country have been inhabi-
table, and IL it were, how would In
tending settlers ever get there through
the icy barriers that would oppose
their progress on all sides? Possibly
in the distant future, modern invent
iveness might be able to make jour
neying to the pole comparatively easy,
so that even excursion parties might
go there on pleasure trips, but at pres
ent this seems to be as little likely of
realization as would be trip to Mars
on a flying machine. However, man is
an inquiring animal, and is always
wanting TO eat of the tree of know
ledge, and If only his curiosity would
be gratified by the invasion of the
North Pole, there would be some ad-
vancement made in developing the
spirit of enterprise without which
there is no progress in any acknow-
lodged practical direction. Science
would be benefited by the discovery, If
nothing else came from 1t for the pros
perity of mankind. Peary has not at
tanned the summit of his ambition.
but that will not discourage others
from trying to Guido him. His exam
pie will encourage them to venture
farther than he did, for as he followed
others he will have, no doubt, many
successors. The best solace that Peary
has in his defeat is the faith that his
wife exhibited during his silent alb
sence in his ability to return to her
unframed, even though she knew
from experience all the difficulties and
dangers of arctic travel.
