in my back and in the morning when

and languid that I had no ambition to
do my homework Whenever I caught

How Crown Point Viewed It.

Crown Point was we'll represented at
the oratorical contest Friday night by
Miss Hazel Smith. Although winning no
honors from the judges. she delivered
Her grafton in manner that did credit
to herself and the community which
she represented. The chorus was good,
but showed lack of practice. 1t is the
general opinion among Crown Pointers
that the first honors should have been
awarded to Miss Bessie Banks of Ho-
bart, for. while her delivery was not as
strong and forcible as some of the
others on account of physical ability,
her grafton was away ahead of any
thing delivered during the evening. in
fact masterpiece considering the age
of the young lady.

DR.. Forbes Winslow has found IL
studying statistics Of insanity that
locomotive engineers and firemen are
unusually apt to become mentally de
ranged. In list of seventyfour trades
and professions that Of the engineers
stands seventh from the top in this
respect. AS records Of 10000 engineers
and firemen entered into these statis-
tics, they have a good basis of relia-
bility. The three exceptionally destruct-
i've accidents to passenger trains in
England in the last year or two, those
Of Salisbury, Grantham and Shrews,
bury, have all been due to failures of
thoroughly reliable engineers to see
signals or to judge correctly their
speed and position at critical moments.
Naturally there Is active discussion of
the strain which is being put on en-
glneers by their service, and Of the ex-
tent to which they weaken, II not to
the point Of insanity, at least to that
Of unreliability Of attention during
thOil WIN. hC ldhWuy VIC
emphasized the heavy requirements of
the roads upon the engineers in the
way Of making time, and the roads
have tried to place all the blame upon
the men. 1t is the conclusion Of Keigh-
ley Snowden, writing In one Of the cur
rent British reviews, based upon con-
elusive reports as to the causes of all
three Of the accidents in question, that
the engineers Of fast express trains
have literally more work than they
can hope to do thoroughly and unfail-
ingly. What between making time,
caring for the running of their compli-
Gated machine, and watching out for
danger signals, they are burdened be-
yond the limit. And his remedy Is that
either a system of automatic signals
must be adopted on all lines running
fast trains, or else that the fast trains
must be given three men to run them
instead of two; one of those three hav-
ing the sole duty Of watching out for
the signals. The installation of auto
matte signals is expensive and cannot
be done in a day, Where 1t is most
needed by proof of experience the three
man substitute would be perhaps a rea-
sonable temporary expedient Certainly
the fact that two men were enough to
run a twenty -mlle-an-hour train a gen.
Grafton ago is no argument against the
need Of three men on many trains to-
day.

Mechanical traction has been substi-
tuted for horses on the Ladoga canal
IN Russia. When the traction engines
appeared 1000 peasants seized them
and stopped all traffic so effectually
that troops had to be called out to re-
store order. There were riots of this
sort in England hundred years ago,
when power sawmills were introduced
there, but in the more advanced coun-
tries the laborer and the mechanic now
adjust themselves quickly to new in
ventions. Russia Is about one hundred
years behind the times. When one
realizes this, one will understand many
things that happen there that are 9th
erwise ineXplicable.
