WHY FAST TRAINS ARE SAFEST.
Many Logical Reasons Advanced by
an Engineer.

Its safer 10 ride on a mile-a-minute
train than IL is on a slower one" re-
marked railroad engineer. why?
Oh, for lots OF reasons For one thing
because you are through with your
journey quicker. By that mean that
there is always a certain-thOugh
small-eement OF danger In riding on
a train; and this does not decrease II
the train is moving slowly. II remains
the same. Therefore. n you are two
hours travelling between two points on
one train. and can 10 Il Ia an hour
on another, you are in danger just
that much less time.
But another much more apparent
reason Is that all the employees along
the line know when the Twentieth
Century or the Empire State is com
ing along. and watch out for her.
They take pains. too, to see that
everything they have to do connected
with her going past Is attended to. An
employee along the track sometimes
fvrgets. and n be forgets al some i'm
pOrtant juHetHre there Is liable to be
an accident He does more thinking
about the crack trains-he doesn
forget thsm-and that's another rea-
son they're safer.
Then. too. the rolling stock Of these
fast trains is the best that money can
buy. and II is Inspected with more
minute care before It goes out than
any other. When a slow train that Is
behind time starts IN 10 hit 5erniis

RETAIN THE ANCIENT CUSTOM

Special.
New York, Jan. 23.-The event of
the week has been the successful
placing of London subscription to the
new Russian loan he balance of which
will shortly be offered in Paris. This
removes an uncertainty which has
long been held over the foreign mon.
ey markets. Preparations for the
loan have been made months in adj
vance; hence the slight effect upon
the worlds money market. Since Par
Is has been accommodating part of its
immense stock of gold to finance this
loan 1t remains to be seen whether
the Bank of France will continue to
draw gold or whether it will cease
its efforts in this direction. The in
ternational gold movements will be
watched with considerable interest
the next few weeks.
Demand for Money.
Just now our own money market Is
being subjected to number of I'M
been exported to about $7,O00,000,
and the current movement is expect
ed to reach S25,000,00 to $4,000 0OC.
The trust companies will shortly be
obliged to withdraw $4n,000,00O to
$50 100000 before February 1 to com,
ply with requirements Of the reserve
law. Much of this will probably be
provided for in advance; nevertheless
sums must be temporar-
lily withdrawn from the money mat
ket in such an operation. Again the
government deficit necessitates the
withdrawal OF public deposits from
tie banks, and Adopt $15,0000 will
be surrendered on January %, also
another $10,000,OO0 on February TO-
If to these requirements we add the
incurred by recent heavy
bond issues, it will be found that the
demands upon the local money mark
ct have ben unusually heavy, The
of the $25O,O00,000 Russian,
the $50, 900 Canadian loan and 9th.
ar foreign issues show that the de-
mands upon capital abroad are also
on an extensive scale. So far as the
situation at home is concern /
ed there is not the slightest cause for |
concern. Our banks are exceedingly !
strong, and the great expansion in
oana which has taken place during
he last few months is shown to be /
IMPLY protected by the large increase

uietness in business and partly to

Fight the Filthy Fly

10 warn people OF the dangers
Of flies, and to show them how to
get rid Of the pests, the Chicago
Health department has issued "a,
bulletin, in which the pesky nui-
sances are called all sorts of bad
names. Files are the dirtiest
and filthiest Of vermin, " the buI-
letin says. They are born in
filth, live in filth and carry filth.

tered upon those whom they touch
Now is the time to- build your
lines of defense. Prepare tofight
them as you would wild beasts
seeking your life. -
A good fly poison, not danger
Gus to human life, the bulletin
adds, is a solution Of bichromate
of potash, one dram dissolved in
two ounces of water and sweetened
with a little sugar. Put some in
shallow dishes and place thruout
the house. Another is cobalt
chloride, one dram dissolved Ia
8 ounces Of water, placed in shall
low dishes as above. To clean
rooms in which there are large
numbers Of flies burn pyrethrum
powder or blow black flag into the
air Of the room. These do not kill;
the flies; they are merely stunned
and fall to the floor. They must
then be gathered up and destroyed.
Seven different varieties Of flies
are found in our houses, SO per
cent of which are represented by
the common house fly. Flies lay
their eggs in only fermenting or
decaying substances by prefer
ence in horse manure. Hence,
says Harper's Weekly, every stable
is a center Of Infection unless per-
iodically disinfected. The fly
maggot is also Matched out in La
trines and ash pit refuse, such as
bedding straw, rags, paper, scraps
of meat, fruit, etc., on which
substances the larvae subsist after
they hatch, which occurs in about
twelve days after the egg has been
laid. It's estimated that a single
fly, laying 100 eggs at a time, will
produce a progeny amounting to
six tillions by the end Of the sea-
son. The number Of bacteria upon
"a single fly has been proven to
range all the way from $50 to
6, 100000. The average for Ala
flies which were examined at the
Agricultural Experiment Station
at Storris, Conn. last year was
i, 25O, 900 bacteria apiece. This
represents about the number of
bacteria that enters the human sys-
TEN when one swallows a glass of
liquid into which some fly has per-
.haps fallen to be removed by a
aslovenly waitress without the Ii
:quid being thrown away.
