THE POWER
OF ENGINEERS

For the direct or indirect granting
OF discretionary power to engineers
there is at least one excuse, though
concerning its adequacy there must
be a wide difference Of opinion. With
clear track ahead, che making I'M
OF lost time is welcomed by both the
public and the railway superinten-
dent, and In like manner the latter.
II not tn former will sometimes sane
ton passing a signal which indicates
that the track not yet clear. The
engineer Of the following train, hav-
ing seen sigal after signal change
from danger" to safety" is able Ia
estimate pretty accurately how far
ahead OF him the other train is. II
he knows the road well and the
weather Is favorable, he may fee
that he is only performing his duty
In anticipating some of these changes
by few seconds His employers
may also take the same view of the
matter
An engineer might take such
chances without harm month after
month, and then be treated to a tragic
surprise. The only absolute assur.
ance Of safety lies in watching and
needing signals. For this reason the
Interstate Commerce Commission has
repeatedly advocated Legislation
making the adoption OF blood signals
by all the railways in the United
States compulsory. The requirement
would do much good no doubt, be
cause these devices have already
made travel safer. Their larges
usefulness will noe be attained. how
ever, until engineers are istructed tC
respect them more strictly than they
do now.--New York Tribune.

OYSTER LONGING.

We stopped long enough to talk
to Win Murphy who was longing on
a rock" in midstream. We saw him
from afar, and bore down upon him
with the noise which an unmumed
gasoline motor makes. The sound
was heard afar, and we saw men a
mile away stop their tasks and look
to see the launch

years old, and he handed me a 40
pound pair of tongs with one hand.

bottom / 8 feet below the surface and
spread the two half-round handles
far apart and began to jounce them
on the bottom. When the handles
were together, | hauled up and found
one oyster about an inch long and
dropped him trying to get the jaws
over the boats side. Three or four
Il m es trying gave me
a little better idea Of how it was
done, and also taught me that the
ache comes across the small of the
back and the strain on all muscles
above the waist lir(e and in the calves
Of the leg. Worst of ALL the salt
water comes down on the hands, and
when one works for days in the
winter, when most of the work Is
done. the hands fairly break open
Nevertheless the longer longs for
bitter winds to drive the dredges out
of the big water. This gives him a
GOOD market for all he can get. The
pretty weather of last winter was
good for the physical man on the
bay, but those who longed for money
more than for comfort were disap-
