What is probably the first fatal ac-
cident of the season, following the
rocking of boat by skylarking occu-
pants, took place in the lower lake of
Central park a few days ago. The
deck of swan boat, carrying 13 pas
sengers and propelled by a man op-
orator, was pushed into the water,
which. fortunately, was only four feet
deep. One young girl was caught in
the submerged deck and drowned.
The accident is said to have been
caused by the antics of some OF the
passengers who would not keep their
seats, but, in spite of warnings, moved
from side to side. rocking the boat.
Probably nothing can be said or done
wholly 10 stop the pastime of rocking
boats. We e il on the highest au-
thority that enough fool be brayed
i'm a mortar with a pestle, yet Will
his folly not depart from him. Ii can
be hoped only that. with the spread
of knowledge his tribe may decrease.

The Congressional Library.-More

be proud. and evidently is proud. The
national capital makes comparatively
small use Of the library. for IL has its
own public library-one Of the most
complete in the country-from which
books may be taken. In years gone
by congress was disposed TO be mig
gardly in appropriating money for the
support Of the library. but OF recent
wears IN has been more liberal. The
amount which the nation has invested
i'm the library is itself an obligation.
The land and buildings have cost about
$1,000 900. While congress treats the

tion of Herbert Putnam. the librarian
of congress. to make the American H.

Broken rails and weakened roadbeGs
caused more than 90 percent of the
railroad wrecks in the United States
in the last five years, according to
statistics compiled by New York Cen
tral engineers who have been study
ing the causes of accidents since the
Bronx wreck together with the recent
discovery OF a number Of broken rails
between CheyiOt and North German
town, on the New York Central lines.
This fact, a Central official said was
what spurred the engineers on in their
search for device that would detect
a broken rail, and resulted in the per-
lection Of a system which will be in
stalled on the tracks used by the
through trains between here and Buff
falo in a very short while. After that,
the official said, the same equipment
would be added to the main tracks on
all Of the other Central lines.
