TO SAVE 500 LIVES A YEAR.
Railroads Elevate 1900 Miles OF Track
IN CHICAGO.

The railroads OF the country are
spending 500. GOO. 600 90 make the streets
OF Chicago safe. says Rutldcge Ruther-
ford I'm the Technical World. ON nm
average 900 people year are run over
BY passing trains or are injured In
collisions with steam locomotives while
using Chicago's streets.
Ten years ago Chicago decided that
the elevation OF all steam railway
tracks was the only means OF protect
Ing her citizens from the deadly grade
crossings. Now the railroads are foot
Ing the bill.
Last year more than 5000 men were
employed In the work OF clevating the
tracks. and u cost the railroads about
81, 500. 0c0. Chicago IL not the only city
which IL having her steam railway
tracks elevated. but Chicago In the only
city which is making the railroads pay
for the Job.
Chicago has already accomplished the
elevation OF 500 miles OF steam railway
tracks within her borders and has
made the railroads pay every cent OF
the so. O0O.0 900 which u has cost.
sixteen hundred miles or railroad
tracks IA one city Is something rather
difficult TO comprehend without COM
PARSONS. sixteen hundred miles OF
right 81 way Is nearly enough To- build
two elevated railroads from Chicago to
Philadelphia.
IL is NOR. than enough 20 build n
single line from Chicago To Boston. or
To- Galveston. ar Ia Santa Fc. ~. NJ. or
To- jacksonville. Fla. or to Denver, or
even to Salt Lake city. This ~ en-
tircly independent 81 any lines operated
by electricity or by any power other
than steam.
Excepting the lowered and walled In
tracks OF the Illinois Central along the
lake front. where there are no street
crossings. every mile OF this trackags
viii have been elevated when the work
now In progress ~ completed.

Prophesied the Phonograph.

An electrician of New York has col lection of prophecies anent the phono- graph. It is interesting to note that Emerson prophesied the phonograph's $ advent. He said:
 "Ne make the sun paint our DOT traits now. By and by we shall organ ize the echoes as we now organize the shadows"
 Maury, in 1914, prophesied more clearly than Emerson, saying:
 What a pity it is that M. Daguerre, instead of photography, had not in vented a process of writing by merely speaking through trumpet at a piece of paper. Instead of saying, I wrote you a letter last Monday the phrase would have been, I spoke you a ream.'"
 Tom Hood prophesied in his Comic Annual for 1889:
 "In this century of inventions, when self acting drawing paper has been discovered for copying invisible ob iects. who knows but that some future Daguerre or Herschel may find out some sort of BOswelish writing paper to repeat whatever it hears?"
