EARTHQUAKE SHOCKS.

The hope will be universal that the seismic
disturbances of Thursday last do not mean that
this year is to witness repetition of the earthquake
catastrophies that made 1906 memorable cal
amtous twevemonth. Less than two weeks of
the new year have elapsed yet there have been
earth trcmors of very pronounced kind that are
likely to set the timid specializing TO what is
coming in the line of terrestrial upheavals
On Thursday there easily perceptible
shocks in both the eastern and western hemi-
spheres. On the Scandinavian peninsula the dis
turbance appears TO have developed much force
In Sweden and Norway shocks were felt at points
separated by wide stretch of territory, while on
the mainland in Russia the trembling Of houses
from tremors of the earth extended fully two thou
sand miles.
Coincident with these European disturbances
were the shakngs this side or the Atlantic,
which seemed to be most pronounced in the terri
tory around Williamsport, Pa. There is always
more or less doubt when shocks occur in mining
section as to whether they the result of seismic
upheavas simply of the falling in of old and
worked out mines.
Even making allowance for such posi-
bility it can be said that 1907 starts with pretty
interesting, but it is to be hoped, not portentous
earthquake record. Certainly there will be gen
era and sincere hope that the disasters that shook
San Francisco from its foundations and wrought
such rightful destruction at Valparaiso and in its
vicinity will not be duplicated during the year just
begun.

CONGRESS MAY ACT.

The interstate commerce commission has been
conducting investigation into recent railway dis
asters for the purpose of determining whether the
signal systems in use on the roads which the
fatalities occurred were defective whether they
were neficiently operated and it is probable that
congress will take prompt action soon as il has
received the commissioners report
One OF the most serious of recent disasters
was that on the Baltimore and Ohio road at Terra
Gotta, near Washington, ID. {. On this road the
manual type of block signal is employed This
system has an operator stationed at either end OF
the block to display signals the safety of pas
sengers being dependent upon the faithiuncss and
efficiency of the operator The question in dispute
in the Terra Gotta fatality is what kind of signals
were displayed
Another better but more costly, type Of block
signal is one by which the signals are set auto
matically and Representative Esch announces that
he has prepared bill requiring the adoption of
that type by AL railroads doing an interstate
business
1t would be neither prudent nor just for CON
gress to attempt to prescribe any single device to
be used by the railroads; but there three dis
tinct automatic systems for block signals and the
Esch measure will make the use of automatic sig
nails compulsory in order that the risk of negligence
error on the part of employees may be reduced to
the minimum.
1t is estimated that the cost of such system
to the railroads will be about $1,000 a mile. Presi-
dent Roosevelt is said TO favor the Esch bill and
Mr. Esch himself is confident congress will pass it.
While some of the railroads will no doubt op-
pose the measure, it is clearly step in the right
direction. Fatalities due TO accidents American
railroads far greater in number than in Eng
land or on the continent, where the automatic
block system is much more generally employed
than in this country.
There is certainly nothing unreasonable in re-
quring railroads to take every possible precaution
and to adopt every device that lessons the liability
TO accident.
