ACCIDENTS TO WORKERS.
Some Appalling Statistics Of Loss OF
Life.

DR.. Josiah Strong. president OF the
American Institute of Social Service.
in speaking Of the number OF persons
killed each year in our industrial occu-
pations. made some astonishing COM
parisons. He said:
I'VE in the United States kill in four
years some 10000 persons more than
fell in battle and died of wounds dur
ing the four years of the Civil War.
We are killing more than twice as
many every year as perished by vio-
lence in both the French and English
armies during the three years OF the
Crimean War.
There are more killed and wounded
on our railroads every year than the
entire losses Of the BoCr War on both
sides in three years. We have indus
trial casualties enough every year to
keep one contiic; like our war with
Spain going for 100 years. Our peace
full vocations cost more lives every TWO
DAYS than were lost in battle during the
entire Spanish War.
Prom the best statistics ohtainable.
! may say there are to-day $4,000 per
sons in the United States under sen,
tence of death to be executed at an un-
known moment during the next ten
years-l 100 next week and the same
number every week until the Shastly
work is complete. An intelligent ana
earnest effort would procure the re-
prieve Of multitude OF these innocent
victims

SaIton Sea Like Ontario.

According to Louis c. Hill. super
vising engineer of the. United States
Reclamation Service for Arizona and
southern California. If the Colorado
river continues to flow into the Salton
sink it will bring into existence 4 body
OF water that will be as large as Lake
Ontario. Speaking on the subject he
said:
Already $50 square miles OF the
bed of the basin OF what was once n
salt sea has been covered by the
water to depth Of sixty feet. and II
the flow continues. 1000 square miles
will be covered to n depth OF go feet.
"As the water has torn down into
the sink. which Is 200 feet below the
level OF the sea. it has made an ever
deepening ravine, until at present the
water falls from n height OF eighty
feet and gives promise Of creating q
second Niagara"

sLAo FOR CONCRETE WORK.
Experiments to Be Made by tbs Uni
versty Of Colorado.

The Union Pacific Railway Company
has recently submitted to the civil en-
gineering department OF the Univer.
sity OF Colorado series OF tests to be
made upon Stag from the immense
dumps Of the smelters. These tests
will be made with the view OF determ.
lining the value OF the Stag as a substi.
tute In the place Of broken rock for
concrete work in culverts. retaining
walls, platforms. and the like.
AS the expense in breaking rock for
use in concrete Is large. and this
would be in large part obviated BY
the use Of the Stag, the saving would
be great. Millions OF tons Of this
waste lie unused. and II its utility
should be determined for some pur-
pose. the economic importance would
be considerable.
The object OF the experiments
therefore is not only to accomplish .
financial economy in the matter Of
breaking and transporting the rock.
but OF ascertaining the efficiency Of
the Stag in its place. Consequently.
tension, compression. and. weatherins
tests are and will be made, and COM
parsons drawn between the stone OF
the Lyons formation and the Stag in
regard to their efficiency as aggrs-
gates.
The work is under the direct super
vision Of F. W. Doolittle and H. J. Kes-
ner OF the civil engineering depart.
ment OF the University and when their
report is made to the railway company
the announcement of the results will
be awaited with interest

carnesie's Partners, the People.

The Review OF Reviews prints an
article by Andrew Carnegie, entitled
"My Partners. the People" Carnegie
expresses the belief that millionaire
ought to share his wealth with the
poor. but with the Limitation that his
fortune should not be divided before
the millionaire's death. Then the
community should expect large
share. Carnegie humbly dcprecates
the claim OF the merely wealthy to
fame. They have no place with the
educated man. and they occupy q
lower plane intellectually. In the
coming day brains will stand above
dollars, and conduct above both.

He suffered far worse in mind than
in body. Horrible fears tormented
him. Again &ld again he imagined
that the little nodule beneath his
heel was giving way. Was it ice or
rock? Whichever it might be, it was
the only thing between him and GER
tain death. He was oppressed with
a leaden dread of the frailty Of the
dam. Let 1t give way, and the sud-
den rush would sweep him like a
grain into the quarry.
Fatigue was overcoming Foster.
Smaller and smaller grew the shovel
fuls as he staggered back and forth.
Meanwhile he wrestled with a knotty
problem: When should he go for the
rope? If he ceased work before the
dam was safe, its breaking might
destroy the only chance of rescuing
the engineer. If he labored overlong,
Wetherbee might slip at any moment
from his perilous perch.
At last the leaks were almost stop
ped. Fresh energy came to the as
sistant as the lightning showed him
that his task was nearly completed.
A few more trips, and he flung down
his spade. In the darkness he ran
his hands along the top of the dam
to make sure that no mater was COM
ing over. All was safe. He shouted
the glad news to Wetherbee:
Cali tight! Hold fast! I'm going
for the rope!"
Back he hurried round the quarry
to the boiler-house, and In ten min
utes had returned with the coil and
an iron bar. Driving the bar into
the bank and fastening the line to it,
he dropped a moose within reach Of
the engineer and drew him up to
safety.-Youth's Companion.

For You.


Shall you complain, who feed the
world,
Who clothe the world, who house the
world,
Shall you complain, who are the world,
OF what the world may do?
As from this hour you show your
power,
The world must follow you.
The worlds life lies in your right
hand,
Your strong right hand, your skilled
right hand;
You hold the whole world in your
hand,
See to it what you do!
Or dark or light, or wrong or right,
The world is made by you.
Then rise as you never rose BEFORE
Or hoped before, or dared before,
And show as was never shown De
fore
The power that lies in you.
Unite as one, see justice done;
Believe and dare and do!
Charlotte Perkins Gilman.
