Illinois Railroads Show 1858, GOO More
Passengers Carried.

Springfield. Ill, March 31.-Cnder the
operation OF the two-cents-a-mile law
tie railroads in Illinois increased their
revenues from passenger service by
s3o1s,a52 in the year 1908. according to
road and warehouse commission a digest
OF Which has just been placed In the
hands of Governor Deneen
The report is considered timely in view
of the recent decision of the Missouri
courts knocking out the two-cent law in
that state, and in view of the conference
at 81. Louis q week or so ago, at which
some of the officials of roads doing bust
ness in Illinois decided that the Illinois
law should be attached in the courts as
conhscatory. 1t is shown that from the
actuai increase in travel and the sale of
tickets under the two-cent rate the mas
senger revenue OF all the roads in the
state was swelled by 1896 900 during 1aos
while the additional increase under the
headings OF mail, express and misceua-
heo"S items ran the aggregate raise in
passenger service earnings and Revenues
mp past the $3,000.00D mark.

To counteract this effect there Is
nothing better than Sloan's Liniment
Lay It on lightly where the muscles

bone. relieves any congestion and in
nammation and makes the muscles

remedy for sprsins, cuts. bruises and

Most OF the injuries resulting nom
electric shocks are suffered by line
men. by workers in power houses or
by brakemen on electric railways who
happen 10 touch the 'hir2 rail. but with
the multiplication OF trolley lines in
city and country and with the exten-
sion of the system OF transmission OF
currents OF enormous voltage over long
lines by bare wires strung on poles the
danger TO the general public is con-
stantly increasing.
Most Of the accidents are produced
by alternating currents. This is not
because such currents are more dan
gerous than the direct current. but be-
cause they are usually OF higher VOLT
age II is not known how high the
voltage must be TO cause death. Much
depends upon the mode of contact,
whether she current passes through
only small part OF the body. as when
the two points OF contact are In the
same arm or leg. or whether II passes
from one arm to the other OF from
the hand to the foot
A partial degree OF insulation may
also prevent serious consequences. as
when one is standing on perfectly dry
ground of when the contact is made
through the clothes An English writ
er on medical electricity says that 1t
has been proved that a man with dry
clothing can sit on third rail which
carries a direct current OF $50 and
grasp the outer rail without receiving
any shock whatever. but the expert
ment is not recommended to the Curl
Gus.
When one has received severe cleo
tric shock which has not been lmmedi-
ately .atal he presents signs OF great
ly lowered vitality. He is unconscious
or semi-conscious. with almost imper-
ceptlble pulse. irregular and feeble In
spiration, cold clammy skin, relaxed
muscles and dilated pupils
If he is still in contact with the live
wire the muscles may be strongly con-
tracted, and 1t may be difficult to re
lease him. Amy one who attempts 10
drag him away should have his hands
protected by rubber bloves or by dry
coat folded several times, and he must
see that the place where he stands is
dry and that his foot is not in contact
