WHAT HALF A CENT MEANT.
Oismayed Engineer Whose Estimate!
Were Off That Much a Yard

In . recent railroad contract for the
cscavation for a tunnel in the west more
than S2.m0,0O0 was involved. Before
he contract was awarded the engineers
went over their figures time and again,
and the supervising engineer studied
them as a whole.
1t seemed as if every precaution had
been taken To avoid mistakes. Fig plans
were accepted and the order was about
to 20 in when the engineer in charge of
the rock blasting rushed into the efiice
and asked to see his figures.
According to The World Today. he
turned white as sheet and finally
blurted out:
This win ruin me. See here; l have
made a mistake of half cent on the
cost of removing each cubic yard of rock.
don't know how l did it, or why it
wasn't discovered before. But I'm
thankful I'm ill time to save the COM
pany the loss"
1t was small error. only hail n cent
a cubic yard. but ON the contract it
would have made difference of enough
to pay the engineers salary a dozen
times over. He was not discharged, but
for the next few years his figures will
receive careful scrutiny.

MOOSE IN CAPTIVITY.
Not Difficult to Domesticate, but Hard to
Keep Alive.

Not Difficult to Domesticate, but Hard to
Keep Alive.
The reason so few moose are seen
in captivity in the parks aud circuses of
the country is not because they are natu-
rally too wild to be domesticated. but
because they usually do not live long in
captivity. said j. G. Peterson of st
Paul. My father was for many years
a settler in northern Minnesota, and nj
different times in his experience he had
three moose on his homestead, which
recognized him as their master.
All the animals We're captured when
they were very young. and in each in
stance it took them only few days to
become apparently attached to father and
his small farm. For two or three weeks
he would keep them fenced in, and then
would allow them to roam around AT

three hours or perhaps half Il day at Il

them were shipped to the city Il change
was noticeable
Two OF the animals were sold to CITY
park associations at different times. and
IN each instance the moose finally died
They seemed willing enough to remain in
the parks, but conditions were not such
as they were used TO, and from the first

rule. he passes in his checks in few
weeks, or few months at the outside.
One of the animals my father owned
was handsome bull, and he was trained
to harness. The animal could pull u
good sized load, and travel through the
woods with sleigh behind him at II very
lively clip. This third moose was one
day shot by hunter near the house.

CAN'T PUNISH SUICIDE.
1t is Therefore Hard to Punish an At
tempt at Suicide

The way of the man who commits or
attempts to commit suicide has pre-
sumnhiy been hard; but his way as IA
transgresSo" is not always made harder
Ivy the law
In the ease of successful suicide
there is an insuperable difficulty in the
way of punishment. Therefore, says the
American Law Review. the impossible
lily of Furnishing suicide itself may pre-
vent punishment for an unsuccessful at
tempt.
This is SO in Maine. as the result of a
statute providing for the punishment of
attempts to commit crime. which fixes
the punishment as one-half of that for
the crime itself. There being no pun
ishment possible for the crime, there is
held 10 be none for the attempt
The Maine statutes contain provi-
sion that where no punishment is pro-

tion; and that while punishment cah

WIDOWS REFUSE TO WED
Marriage Statistics in England Show De
cline in Percentage of Bereaved
Who Marry.

If Mr.. Weller. ST.. Dickens famous
character who advised his son Samuel To-
beware of widows, could see the sixty
eighth annual report of the registrar gen
eral of England, he would look MP the
section dealing with the rem lrriage Of
widows, and find there ms tier to rejoice
his heart
In the marriage market the demand for
widows has been ON the decrease for
many years, and the analysis for 1909
shows that the rate of decrease is accel-
Grating And this applies also to the re-
marriage widowers, as the following
table shows:
