RECKLESS LOSS OF LIFE.

st. LOUIS II0be-DcnlOCrtt,
In the last seventeen years over $4,000
men have lost their lives In American
mines. The rate IS $40 per cent In the
United States, In Great Britain 1,29 and
in Belgium and France each less than
per cent. The showing on the railroads
lis even worse Proportionately six
times as many persons are killed on
American railroads as on those of Eu-
rope. 1t is estimated that 272 900 fac
tory employees in the United States arn
injured annually. In New York City
alone the average of violent deaths has
reached 3,400 year. In fire losses and
fatalities q similar margin against this
country is seen. A spirit of reckless
ness exists In these matters that de-
mands investigation and action on the
part of Congress and every state legis-
lature.

RECENT PUBLICATIONS.

An interesting feature of the cur
rent number of Smiths Magazine is the
play Poly of the Circus told in short
story form and illustrated profusely
with photographs taken from the New
York production. This was one of the
most emphatic successes of the theatri-
cal season which has Just closed. In
story form and with the splendid Illus
trations. the work preserves in great
measure the fascination, the realism,
and pretty sentiment that made 1t such
a success on the boards. Those who
like the theater but have few opportu-
mites to see the play they like owe a
good deal to this sort of enterprise on
the part of the magazines.-79-S 9TH

threshing machines, engines. clover
aullers, drills of all kinds. corn plant
ars, tools and pianos and automobiles.
These do not in any way represent
the whole field. Each plant has many
specialties and a book might we'll be
devoted to each concern.
Compare the Hoosier Drill of the
fifties with the Hocsier Drill of today.
J. M. Westcott's great enterprise
had small beginnings.
The first Hoosier wheat drill was
Milton, Ind, the power for which was
an old gray horse. In 1878 the bust
ness was moved to Richmond, and
from that date up to the present
time, substantial improvements have
been made each year. The main
buildings now extend from 18th and
North E streets east 581 feet, three
stories and basement. Only recently,
or during the last eighteen months,
large additions have been made to
this plant. The floor space occupied
by this concern now is approximately
eight acres. not including the large
building formerly occupied by the
Westcott Carriage Co, which has a
floor space of three and three quarter
acres. The entire factory throughout
IS furnished with the most modern
and best machinery known for the
manufacture Of their class Of goods.
The entire plant is also provided with
IN extensive appliance for protection
against fire.

With their additional facilities and in
