ly qualified young men to fill sub
ordinate positions on the engineer
ing staff. One road in particular
has recently gone SO far as to make
the fact known in the public press,
and to invite communication from
young men who have passed thru
technical schools, and possess the
necessary qualifications to enable
them to commence work as rod
men and chainmen, or do the sim
pier instrumental work connected
with the construction and main
tenance of railroads. 1t was fur
Their stated that the remuneration
would be sufficient to enable these
men to MAINTAIN themselves at once
in decency and comfort. and that
for those who showed aptitude and
application there was a reasonable
expectation of early promotion.
Further evidence of the excellent
opening afforded by the present in
dustrial activity is found in the fact
that in one of the leading technical
colleges of the country every mem
Der of the graduating class of 1906
had secured an appointment some
months before the close of the col.
lege year. The demand for techni-
cally qualified men in railroad
work has unquestionably been slim
ulated by the recognition Of the
fact that the increase of the motive
power and rolling stock and the de.
mand for more intelligent super.
visio due to the introduction OF
electrical traction on steam roads
is rendering it desirable that not
only the engineering department
but also those which have to dc
with the maintenance and operation
Of the road should be run by mer
with sufficient technical knowledge
to enable them to exercise more
intelligent oversight of their de-
partment than is possible in the
case of men whose theoretical know
lege is bounded by the limits of ;
common school education. -Scien

UNCLE SAM AS UNDERTAKEN.
Buried a Man Who Was Murdered on
Site of New Post Office.

1t is not often that the United
States government plays the role Of
undertaken, but it did so a few days
ago in Macon, Ca, says the Baltimore
American. Two laborers employed on
the new post office under construc-
ton in that city got into fight last
week and one of them was fatally
shot. The premises on which the
tragedy occurred being government
property, the municipal authorities de-
clined to remove the body and pre-
pare it for burial, on the theory that
it might prove embarrassing sometime
in the future to complicate local af-
fairs with those distinctly federal.
The custodian in his quandary tele-
graphed to the treasury department,
stated the situation and asked for
instructions. He was directed to re
move the remains, inter them and
send the bill to the department He
followed instructions, and the other
day rendered the bill, which amounted
to s114, among the specified items be-
ing one of five dollars for carriage
for the widow" Accompanying the
bill was letter narrating in detail
the circumstances of the case and
containing the following somewhat
startling paragraph: Il am inclosing
voucher for burial of a man who was
murdered in the building under my
charge in accordance with your in
structions and authority in telegram
dated 18th inst" One not familiar
with the circumstances might feel
justified in assuming that the murder
was perpetrated under the directions
of the treasury but the officials sol
EMMY affirm that they were not &C
cessories before the fact and that
there was no conspiracy to assas
sinate one of its employees.
