The automobile accident in Norwallt few days ago in which an estimable citizen was killed by the son of anoth- CT estimable citizen as the former was alighting from trolley car has called attention to the need there is for cit izens in the streets exercising the greatest care in crossing or in entering or leaving tramway cars.
 Modern civilization has imposed much on large centers of population in the way of requiring additional care in using the streets. The Norwalk ac- cident has simply emphasized this. Tn lthis particular case the Hartford Cour- ant rightly says: 'It follows from all this that no person driving an auto mobile should ever drive or be allow ed to drive past standing or stop ping trolley car on its passenger side faster than permits instantaneous stop ping The new Connecticut law regu- lates speed according to the condi- tions and 1t should be understood that passing a stationary trolley car at speed is a violation of the law"
 Our contemporary is entirely right in the veiw it takes but it remains to be seen what effect 1t will have upon auto conduct As we have said before this, if the users of the car and the makers of it do not act upon self-ere- ated laws it may not be long before all cars will be forbidden the use of Istreets and highways.

FINE FORK.

The old question, How many souls can dance on the point of needle? has not yet been answered, but Clar- ence K. Young, of the national Bu- reau of Engraving and Printing, has shown how much can be engraved on the head of pin. Hitherto, we believe. the alphabet has been the record. Mir. Young, however, declared he would set a new mark for his fellow-w workmen by engraving two full alphabets, a name, and a date on the head of a pin measuring sixty-five one thous- andths of an inch in diameter lIe ob- tained 0 small pin with a head less than one-sixteenth of an inch across and started in, taking halliday off for the purpose. When he put his tools away that night he had engraved six ty-one letters on the surface of the pin head. To see the double alphabet and the date and name thereon en- graved powerful magnifying glass must be used The letters stand sep arate, each by itself, and approximate ly the same distance from it's neighbor The lines are clear and distinct, and the letters perfectly formed One al phabet and the date occupy half oi the surface of the pin head, while an other alphabet and the name Young occupy the other half.
 This is perhaps more interesting than useful, but everything can't be useful. MT. Young would be goot man to make plates for securities.

He possesses none of the fascinating mannerisms of President Roosevelt and yet he continues to grow more in the estimation of the people of the country than any one of the men mem toned in connection with the Republi- can nomination. He is constantly re- vealing human qualities of mind and of heart which the people show signs of taking to as much as they have talk en to President Roosevelts human qualities, and yet they are totally un- alike in their expression. Surely the enemies of the President could not have made Governor Hughes the pop ular man he undoubtedly is, though they may we'll be suspected of pres | ferring him to the President
 There is bound in other words to be a much clearer understanding of the political situation six months hence Nor in that time do we look to see the country rise as one man and justi~ fy President Roosevelt in recalling hlJ own thoughtful and deliberate self facement which he sent to the people of the country three short years ago.

have had some experience in that line, and take keen interest in the pro- ject anticipating some interesting ex- .periences. These army balloonists will have the advantage of the experience and services of the New York aero .naut, Leo Stevens, member of the Aeronautic Club of America. Most of the ascensions which are planned will be made from Washington with one of the army balloons. Tn the course of the next few months there will be ex- tensive and systematic ascensions at Omaha, where the signal corps has a depot, and where special arrangements are being made for the manufacture of compressed gas to be used in these balloons. There is still difference of opinion among conservative army off, cers respecting the use of the balloon in time of war. Some of them think that it's advantage will be limited, and that it can be used only under peculiar conditions which give the enemy no opportunity to use the balloon of a foe as target or an indication of the location of the troops against which they may fire. At the same time, il is realized that military ballooning has
 its values, and 1t is proposed to ascer-
 tain .n a practical way all that may b; learned of the system.

WIIL IT COME HERE?

It has been discovered that in the Vienna mint the leaden walls of a reservoir containing sulphuric acid, although about one and seven-tenths inches thick, were eaten through by an insect. The leaden gas-pipe in a Vienna cafe was also damaged in like manner, It was found that this dam age was done by wasp.
 This metal-eater hasn't made a panic, but it need not be surprising if it is soon discovered that ne has em,- grated to this country and is eating the steel rails of the railroads here. If Wall street needs him badly enough he will be imported if he doesn't volun- tarily come. There may come time when the "bears" will want the rails eaten in order to make the "securi- ties" sell down.
