1906 AN IMPORTANT
YEAR FOR RAILROADS
Passage OF the Hepburn BIN Only One
OF the Many Interesting Develop
ments in Railroad situation During
the Year just Closed.

The year 1906 viii long be locke
back TO as one Of the most important
In the history of the railroad business
of America. 1t was marked by the
paasage of the Hepburn act "a law
| destined to exert even a more potent
influence on the transportation IN
dustry In the United states than the
original interstate commerce act. EN-
penditures for equipment, new track
and other improvements probably ex-
oeeded those of any other year. Ihe
demand of rapidly growing tranlc m
creased faster than improvements ae
rapidly as these were made' WIN IN.
result that the country has su1ereu
ma ,s still suffering from the most
acute shortage of cars ana toHseseion
of traffic that it has W experienced.
The increase OF traffic was, OF
course. a fine thing for the railroads
and their receipts were sWelieu ehor-
,no,,sIv with the result that they en-
loved a greater measure of prosperity
than during any previous year.
Statistics show that railway expeh-
ditures for new mainline track anu
eauipmen. during the year reaeneo
S550 00O 600. OF this $3.50, OOO,OoO
"a 1hT nEM AAilA1 hAAa
900. 900 for additional equipment.
An interesting and significant fact
revealed nv the statistics relating 10
orders for equipment Is the enormous
EXPANSION in the demand for steer
cars ana cars with steel underframes
II Is shown that the number of this
class Of cars embraced in the year :
reauisitions Is 142,172, or 46 per cent
of the total number of r ordered.
This Is an increase OF 400 per cent
over 1905.
The use of hreproof steel passenger
coaches Is also increasing. They are
now regarded as essential in tunnels
and s1bways. The Pullman company
has completed the first steel sleeping
car to be entirely 1%reproof, and the
Union Pacific. Southern Pacific, ana
Pennsylvania are engaged in building
steel passenger coaches.
The year has been marked by the
development of new types of locomo-
tives. combining great power win
great weight. Railway operating or
ficials are looking forward to the re-
suits which will be attained by electric
locomotives for handling heavy trains
of Pullman cars on the New YORK
Central and New Haven roads.
Despite the enormous expenditures
of eauipment In 1906 and 1906 the
closing months Of the latter year
were marked by the worst shortage
Of freight cars and congestion OF traf-
fc thai the country has ever suffered.
Conditions were worse in the north
west and the southwest. In the for
mer section enormous quantities OF
wheat were dumped on the ground,
lacking cars TO haul it or elevators
to hold It, and there was a loud outcry
that owing to the failure of the rail-
roads to deliver coal promptly the
people were In danger of freezing.

His Humanity Bu1ked Large

RUT, if he was scientist and metaphysician, he was
- also human, and that pleasant April afternoon
the humanity in him bulked large when he finally
turned from the window and took his seat at the
bountifully heaped table. He was he had told
the innkeeper, very hungry, and he ate With a zest
that abundantly confirmed his statement. How
pleasant the odors from this dish at,-how
agreeable the flavor of everything! Surely he had
never enjoyed meal more and surely he no
longer in the clouds; but was instead recalling
lively "reminiscences of his dongs in and another
of the gay capitals of Europe! There would be not
a little to bring twinkle of delight to his beaming
eyes, not little to soften his scholastic lips into
gentle smile. And so, in solitary state, he ate and
drank, with nothing to him of the impending
and momentous change that was to shape anew his
career and his viewpoint.
Conceive his astonshment, therefore, when, his
dinner still unfinished, he felt strange languor
creeping over him and mysterious obscurity dim
ming his eyes Conceive further, his horror at
sight of the floor about him covered with frogs and
toads and snakes and creeping things. And picture

The Riddle of the Universe


LIE was, as the gossip had put it, in the clouds in
Il tent on the riddles his learning had rendered
only the complex, riddles having do with the
nature of the universe and with man S place in the
universe. Nor did he himself from his medita-
lions until the door of the inn had closed behind him
and he found himself in its common room. Then he
became the Emanuel Swedenborg of benignity
geniality and courtesy the Swedenborg whom all
men loved.
Il am going to my room," said he to the inn
keeper, in charming, broken English, and l wish
to be served there. l find l very hungry; SO
see that YOU spare not.
While he is standing at the window, waiting for
IaVed muddy street illumined by a transtory
geam of April sunshine let try to gain a closer
view of him than that afforded by the brief
of his unrecOgnzed acquaintance. The attempt
will be worth while; for at this moment he has,
all unConsCiOusly, reached the great crisis of his
life, and is about to leave behind him the achieve
of his earlier years setting himself instead
then, man nearing the age of sixty, OF rather
than average height, smooth shaver, beWigged,
bespeCtaced, and scrupuOusv dressed according
the fashion of the day. Time in its passing has
dealt gently with him. There is no stoop to his
shoulders, tremor in the fingers that play rest
the placid features, in which the keen observer
may detect not merely self possession but self
satisfaction.
Well NAV he feel or SEEM self satisfied His
whole career has been steady progress, his record
that of one who has attempted many things and
failed IN few. Before he tWenty-One his learn
ing had gained for him a doctorate in philosophy
Then, enthusiastic, open minded, and open eyed, he
had hurried abroad to pursue in England, Holland,
France, Germany, his chosen studies of mathematics
mechanics, and astronomy. Returning to Sweden
to assume the duties OF assessor of Mines he speedily

proved that he was no mere theorizer his inventive
genius enabling the warlike Charles XII. to trans
port overland galleys and sloops for the siege of
Frederikshald, passage being barred by hostile
fleets. Ennobed for this feat, he plunged with
ardor into the complicated problems of statecraft,
problems rendered the difficult by the eco
nomc distress in which Charess had involved
his Kingdom. Here again he attained distinction.
But always the problems OF science and phioso-
ply claimed his chief devotion. From the study of
stars and minerals he passed to the contemplation
of other marvels of nature revealed in man him
self. And behold him turned chemist, anato-
mist Psychologist and psychologist, and repeating
in these fields of research his former triumphs.
Still, indomtable man, he refused to stop. He would
press on far beyond the confines OF what his genera
ton held to be the movable. The end of the
senses" to quote his words, is that God may
be seen" He would peer into the innermost recesses
of mans being, to discern the soul of man, nayhap
to discern God himself

The Visions of Swedenbo1

TN mid April of the memorable year
1745, two men, fastening through a
busy London thoroughfare, paused for
IL moment to follow with their eyes
third, whom they had greeted but who
had passed without much a glance in
their direction. The face of one betrayed
chagrin; but the other smiled amusedly.
You must not mind, dear fellow said
he: that is only Swedenborg's way, as YOU

finally, his amazement
when, the darkness that
enveloped him suddenly
clearing, he beheld a man
sitting in the far corner of
the room and ewing him,
as it seemed, reproach-
fully, even disdainfully.
In vain he essayed to
rise, to lift his hand. to
speak. Invisible bonds
held him in his chair, an
unseen power kept him
mute. For an instant he
fancied that he must be
dreaming; but the noises
from outdoors and the
sight of the table and food
before him brought con-
viction that he was in full
