Causes Of Railroad Aeciden ts.

According to the records of the in.
terstate commerce commission there
were 1892 derailments on railroads
In the United States during the year
ending June 80, 1907. These accidents
resulted in the death Of 515 persons
and the injury of $685.. This was an
increase Of 1871 derailments over the
previous year, with proportioiate in.
crease in fatalities and injuries. A
study Of the causes shows that q little
more than two-thirds of these acci.
dents were due to defects In esuip-
ment, the remainder to defects in bad.

MAKE MONEY! FOR STATE.
Saxon Railroads Well Run and Pay
Good Dividends.

The report for 1906 of the admins
tration Of the Saxon state railroads
shows them to be as financially sue
cessful ~ the Prussian and Bavarian
lines.
Saxony has about s50,00O.000 In
vested in her railways. In 1905 the
gross revenue was f7,6OO,000, an in.
crease Of nearly 100000 for the
year. The total outgoings were
f5,000,O00, an increase Of 9240,0OO
over 1905. Thus the net profits to
the Saxon government on the working
of It's railways for 1906 amounted to
the substantial sum of s2.600,0O0, or
over five per cent. on the capital. So
that all interest and sinking fund
charges are easily met and a balance
left over In relief of taxation. The
Saxon chancellor of the exchequer
counts the Saxon state railways, and,
1t may be added, the Saxon state for
ests, most valuable assets.
AS In Prussia, four classes of trains
are run, and the workmen's fares are
as low as six miles penny. Railway
rates are moderate, and equipment
generally good and improving. In
particular the station restaurants are
feature. The waiting rooms are
restaurants where the ubiquitous Ger
man glass Of light beer is nearly al
ways INDUCED In by the waiting pas
senger. German trains keep good
time here as in other parts of the
empire, but travel is not SO fast as in
either England or America. That, Of
course, Is characteristic. The Ger
man rarely hurries, but he gets
there" without fail. whether in science
or in business.
Saxony has almost precisely the
same proportion Of train mileage in
proportion to population as we have
But while 1000 miles Of Saxon rail-
ways are capitalized at $4,000, 900,
10000 miles of British railways are
capitalized at 1,300,000,00O. That

New York lawyer. 'in whose employ
a section hand had been killed by an

sued for damages. The principal

Outre Cloths.

There never fail to be q few ex-
amples of bizarre cloths that are
dubbed stunning by many, loud and
vulgar by others. This years output
on such lines runs into black cloths
plaided by different widths Of white
in lines that are truly gigantesque, the
square of Is inches being prominently
defined by q quarter Of an inch line
of white and another an eighth Of an
inch intersected through the middle OF
the square. They resemble In style
the large plaidings seen in travelling
rugs, and II to be reserved only for
travelling coats, wraps. or for two
piece suits they will seem better fitted
surely than for any other purpose.
But few tailors would think of us
Ing such cloth except as an introduc
ton into parts of q suit, and no doubt
they will manage to evolve no little
chic out Of 1t, in contrast with q
solid black or some very dark color.

rs SAFETY DEVICE
NEW APPARATUS IN USE ON
ENGLISH RAILROAD.
Shows Plainly to Occupants OF En-
oine Cab How Signals Are Set
Simple and Said to Be
infaliible.

There Is urgent need, as the ap'
palling Shrewsbury disaster has clear
ly shown, for the adoption OF some
safety device which shall infallibly
make the driver and stoker OF every
train fully aware of the position OF the
signals indicating whether the line Is
clear or INSTRUCTED.
For some months past the South
eastern & Chatham railway has been
giving facilities for testing new ap'
paratus which automatically repro
duces in the engine cab both distant
and home" signals, as set for an ap-
preaching train.
A short double third" rail is laid
between the metals for some distance
from a signal box, and electrically con-
nected by wire running over the or
binary telegraph poles with the levers
In the signal cabin. IN the engine cab
itself, in front of the driver. is small
case about foot square, and above
1t a powerful bell.
In the face of the case are two small
apertures covered with glass, in which
appear miniature semaphore arms, cor
responding with the home" and dis
tant" signals on the line. Two tiny
bull's-eyes of red and green glass are
above the apertures.
From beneath the engine hand two
sets of oval Shoes" Directly the
train approaching the signal box
reaches the short third" rail the
shoes begin to glide firmly over, the
contact completing the electric circuit.
Thereupon the signals are instantly re-
produced in the little case in the en-
CINE cab, and the attention Of the
driver and stoker called to them by the
ringing of the bell At the same time

phone by which, when the train has
been stopped by the signal, the driver
can communicate with the signalman
in his cabin.
In front of the signalman are green
and red lights, corresponding to those
in the cab, and corresponding bell
in his cabin rings simultaneously with
the bell on the engine, one Of the
lights glowing and the bell dinging
till the train has passed over the
third" rail.
Owing to the infallible reproduction
of the signals in the engine cab, 1t is
claimed that q train could proceed at
high speed in the densest fog in per-
feet safety.
One Of the engines running daily on
the branch line between Norwood
Junction and Beckenham Junction, on
the Southeastern & Chatham railway,
and the Beckhenham Junction signal
box have been equipped with this re.
markable apparatus, and shot lengths
of third" rail have been laid down.

ton, will insist that it, or something
like 1t, should be adopted by every

FAST TIME ON THE RAIL,
Record Of Speed Achieved in Various
Countries.

The New York World Almanac gives
the fastest time on record for a dis
lance of over 440 miles as made by
the Lake Shore &c Michigan Southern
railway from Buffalo to Chicago in
June, 1905, 535 miles in hours and SO
minutes, or speed of $3.50 miles per
hour. excluding stops. Among the
fastest regular trains in the United
States, for a shorter distance are be-
lieved to be the New York Central
Empire State Express" between New
York and Albany, 143 miles In $50
minutes, and the Congressional Linn
ited," on the Pennsylvania railroad,
which makes the run from Jersey
City, N. j., to Washington, a distance
of 227 miles, in four hours and 46 min
utes. OF long distance runs in France
one is made on the Northern railway
of France by the Paris-Calais express,
which runs 1876 miles in 1S41a minutes,
or fraction over a mile a minute, al
lowing for stoppage of two and one
half minutes at Amiens. The German
Railway Journal In the second week
of July. 1907, made the claim that the
highest speed ever attained had just
been made on several trips during
that week between Munich and Augs-
burg, on the Bavarian State railway.
The train weight was $50 tons and .
speed Of 961s miles an hour was re-
peatedly maintained for considerable
period.

Rapid and Good Work.

A gang Of Great Northern railroad
engineers and platelayers one recent
Sunday gave remarkable display of
rapid bodybuilding according to an
English newspaper. A bridge outside
Harringay station over the Midland
railways line had to be widened, and
two enormous Orders were construct
ed. During the week supports for the
Orders were built under the old
bridge, aud as soon as the heavy traf.
fic of the Saturday night had been
dealt with gangs of men, working in
relays, pulled up the rails, demolished
the old bridge. and carted the debris
away. BY eight p. m. both Orders
had been hoisted into position, and at
midnight the permanent way was in
order again.

they heard the trouble, got out and
helped the train crew demolish near.

this the train was carried along for
