The principle of the engine is the

From the dynamos the power is trans.

motor car and connected directly with
the driving wheels.
All machinery is contained in one
car, known properly as the motor car.
AT each end of the car is a tank ca.

Train stons for Zoos.

The new automatic stop of two Eng
fish inventors is arranged to shut off
the steam of locomotive and apply
the vacuum brake without aid from
either engineer or fireman. An in
cline plane is fixed between the rails,
and when the signal is set at danger,
this inclined plane is so raised that it
comes in contact with lever in the
engine that acts on the steam regula-
tor and applies the brakes throughout
the train. In the tests made it has
been shown that a train could be
quickly brought to stop in fog or
storm hiding the usual signals.

bird away and then retired to dis
lance. She was back inside of five
minutes. drove her away again, and

known that one warbler is worth ten
cowbirds, and If that cowbird egg had
found lodging in the warblers nest
it meant that every little warbler
which might be Matched would soon

Something was said about the eco
nomic value of the robin. There has
been issued by the national committee
of Audubon societies an educational
leaflet on this bird. The matter was
prepared by William butcher Of New
York city, chairman of the protection
committee of the American Orni-
biologists union. Mr.. butcher Is one
of the foremost bird authorities in the
United States. Mr.. butcher says:
wherever the robin breeds with.
in the confines Of civilization man
is its friend. and a mutual attach
ment has grown up that borders
on sentiment. In the robins wfns
ter home in the southland all is>
different for there no sentiment
but that of gastronomics Is displayed
the bird is simply tender morsel to
be made an integral part Of stew
or a pie. In central Tennessee are
large tracts Of cedars, the berries Of
which serve to attract myriads OF
robins in the winter. One small ham,;
let in this district sends to market,
annually enough robins to return
$500, at five cents dozen, equal to
100000 BIRDS"
From member OF the Louisiana
Audubon society there came to Mr..
butcher the statement that a con-
sentative estimate made the number
of robins killed for food purposes in
Louisiana from quarter of a mil
lion in ordinary years to a million
when the birds are unusually plenti-
full"
The Audubon societies are endeavor-
ing to check this awful slaughter of
birds, which are absolutely necessary
to protect the crops. The southern
state legislatures recently have expe-
rienced change of heart, and they
now are ready to throw the arm of
protection about birds which make a
winter resort of the southland.

law of the past flfteeh years that the
people of Iowa universally approve
that has not had the voice and hand
does not recur to the memory. No
man has given more to his state than
Healy or has asked less.
That was one of his most prominent
characteristics: he worked for no re-
ward. The need and justice of his
causes were the main things, the re-
ward incidental. He was worker,
bundle Of nerves and ideas, and hopes
and convfctioRS--a live wire His be-
lief and convictions were his moving
springs.
An idealist with a strong touch of
the practical; a man with knowledge
of human weaknesses, but a lover of
his kind; with u complete sense Of the
difficulty that mankind itself inter-
poses to it's own best interests, but

To say that the church should be In.
terested in healing the sick is true; it
should be interested in the cure OF all
diseases, and not only nervous dis
eases 1t should also be interested in
keeping the healthy well. 1t should
also be interested in all forms Of edu-
cation, In eliminating poverty and
crime, in the advancement Of CONNER
cial and Industrial affairs, In the crops,
In good roads-in fact, the church Is
waking up to the realization thnt
everything that is of Interest to man
is Of interest to God, and everything
which ministers to the physical, intel
lectual or moral well-being Of man is
of vital interest to the church. The
church has eliminated the distinction
between sacred and secular, and recog-
ntzes that all things are sacred. The
life cannot be divided I'D and frac-

ANsnT A NEW COMMISSION.

Ex-Mayor McNicar of DeS Moines
raises the doubt as to the wisdom of !,
public utilities commission for Iowa
and his remarks are well worth atten
ton. On subjects of this kind Mr.. Nc
Vicar is especially informed. In fact he
is probably much better equipped to
discuss subjects of municipal govern
ment than either Ex-Governor Garst
or Governor Carroll. He questions very
seriously whether such commission
would constitute an Improvement over
local regulation.
AS examples OF experience he cites
the state of Massachusetts. which has:
had public utilities commission for
eighteen years, but in which many Il
city pays higher rates for street lights
than are paid in Iowa,
He also calls attention to the fact
that almost every western state has
adopted a two-cent railroad fare under
which the railroads as we'll as the peo-
pie are prospecting, while in New York
state Governor Hughes vetoed such IL
bill on the ground that it should prop
erly be decreed by the puplic utilities
commission and as yet nothing has
been done. This Is cited as an instance
In which the commission idea seems 20
have greatly delayed the serving OF
public interest
The facts are that the public utilities
companies are almost universally ac-
tive for the commission plan and the
experience of the state Of Iowa with
Its railroad commission has not been
such as to stir enthusiasm upon this
reform. If the legislature would com
pei all public utilities to submit to ex-
animation by auditors and to file re-
ports as to earnings. just as banks are
now examined and railroads report, all
of the necessary regulating could be
done by each locality without the ex-
pense of state commission If we
had such great cities full Of corrupt
politics as exist in the east we might
turn to state commission to escape a
greater evil but in Iowa our local gov
eminent is going to be as competent as
our state commissions for a long time
to come except, perhaps, in the ad-
ministration of state laws which vio-
late local sentiment as to sumptuary

.TOK" HFALY IS DEAD.

The state has suffered loss. ,Sena-
tor Thomas d. Healy is dead at his
home in Fort Dodge. The father of
Iowa's board of control bill has passed.
In all Iowa no man might have been
called from the activities Of his home,
his profession and the citizenship of
the state, whose death would be more
felt as a serious loss to the community
and the commonwealth than will that
of this strong man, whose physical
weakness, intensified by the intensity
of his nature, has brought him early
to the boundary that limits existence.
He has been notable figure in the
state as a lawyer, a legislator and above
all as a citizen who stood foursquare
for the best in government. That he
must die is natural and not to be de-
MED of all men, but this universal
knowledge must carry with 1t the keen
regret that he might not have lived and
worked the allotted span Of men.
1t has been a long, hard fight. Healy
was fighter, and faced the, destroyer
as he had faced all his foes, unafraid
and unconquerable. It was typical Of
the man that he lived on when
stronger men would have given up the
struggle.
Senator Healy has made himself a
prominent part Of the best history Of
Iowa. In his political life he has al
ways been for the right as he saw it;
the champion Of common rights and
not of individual desires. To him Iowa
must give credit for great part OF
the legislation which has put the state
in the front rank of progressive and
sane commonwealths. OF all the legis-
lation that has been particularly for
the common good, he was of the agi-
tators and trainers. He not only favored
and voted for such laws, but he gave

man from the DOOTHOu5S.
The law of compensation works.
Sometimes 1T seems to fall. 1t seemed
his community and sneering in the
faces of God and men. Above the
family bowed under the blood and
/ shame OF murder, and in the shadow
of wrecked homes the lew has come
to its own. The wages OF sin are
death. The way Of the transgressor is
, hard. Believe It, All the history OF
crime and all the annals of perverted
morality point to and prove It, With
what measure we mete shall be meted
to you again. The balance of compen-
sation is true as the weigh bar on the
diamond dealers scale.
Does 1t pay to sit quiescent while
men take their own path to the degen-
Grafton of civic and Individual moral
ity? When the accounts are cast at
last, as lney Always dTe, has ~ paul "
attend to ones own business" and let
others ATTEND to theirs" when the bus
mess of others is Illegal immoral and
vicious? Did it pay this town to pet
a gambler and a moral crook, simply
because he was successful In his rob-
berry of fools? Does 1t pay any town,
however small, any city however large,
to permit vice and condone defiance
of law and morality, because they are
profitable? Aside from the RESPONSE
bility which Cain sought to escape,
does 1t pay? Ask the town that bred
and reared cruel constituencies man
to reap the sentence that comes when
in the fullness Of time the day Of judg-
ment arrives.
There should be but kindly words
said above coffin lid. But what Is
to be said over the graves of men who
have lived as wolves and not as men?
There is mora! quarantine that hui
man nature is prone to enforce.
