Wonderful Automatic Device.

A new device for the prevention of
train collisions was recently tested on
the Erie tracks between Newark and
Nutley, NJ J. The device is an cleo
trio one, and is intended to obviate
head-on collisions. When the fast-ap-
preaching trains equipped with the
new device get within half a mile of
each other, the air brakes are set au-
tomatically, not with the usual sudden
ness in an emergency, but with grad
ually increasing force, the same as a
skillful engineer would employ in
bringing his train to halt at a sta
ton. The trains stopped far enough
away from each other to avoid mishap,
and all this happened without either
engineer moving a hand toward the
throttle lever or air $rake, the device
working automatically. The inven-
ton is operated by third rail, the
shoe from the locomotive touching the
rail, and receiving power through it
both for the operation of the emer-
gency brake and also for a telephone.
The principle is similar to that of the
block-signal system, the track being
divided into zones. The brakes can
be applied sharply or their operation
may be graduated, SO that trains may
be slowly brought to a standstill.-

cello citizenship into high class; for
appreciation of honest service is a
main element in good schools.
Note, this is a. splendid service we
are receiving from our teachers, a SER
vice poorly paid because it is actually
great and truly splendid. Such SER
vice is always underpaid. 1t is I'M
derpaid in legal tender currency and
shamefully underpaid in the appreci-

Society does not appreciate what it
owes to the teacher. She is rarely ac-
corded the social position. her talent,

serve. We pay the man who feeds the
pigs nearly or quite as much and give
him practically the same attention So

dren, usually better than we train them
ourselves.
1t might be an excellent idea to
glance over toward Monticello. We
might learn somewhat by looking on
while Monticello does the right thing In
the line Of good citizenship. 1t sets
some other and even more negligent
school patrons thinking and should af-
feet more.

THE MONTICELLO WAY.

It is pleasant to read that Monticello
patrons of the Monticello public schools
appreciate long and faithful service.
Miss Mary Jarman has been principal
Of the high school at Monticello for six
teen years. 1t finally broke in upon the
minds of Monticellians that here was
= quiet woman who had mothered a
generation, borne the accumulated bur-
dens of parental care for every fruit
full woman in the city and that she
must be tired and worn.
Having arrived at understanding
those good people of Monticello acted.
They gave their faithful teacher a
purse Of $40; her school children
added a steamer trunk and everybody
said go to Europe next summer as
you have always wanted to DO" And

One excellent result may work on,
from the turmoil Of thu Pfnchot dis

factory result may be expected: il NAV
be that no other chief forester viii
be dismissed for telling the people fo,,
whom he is working and ID Who pri-
marily his fealty is due. the truth about
the work he has been doing.
Discipline there must be. but disei-
pine appears TO take on various defini-
tons. It is not to be considered disci-
pine when man OF high attachments
and splendid purposes is denied the
right to talk or write on a subject he
and the public are vitally interested in.
1t is scarcely up 70 a big man 10 stultifv
himself and a great cause in order that
little men and mean causes may not
be disturbed.
There comes time when the duty
of citizenship and the duty Of official
subordination clash. Sometimes the
chief of police VINO knows tina, his duty
is to preserve order. and knows that
the public expect him 10 preserve or

bear the burden of a small man play-

riot reigns in the street and the rights

check. The deputy is expected in 10y

The theory is the theory of the ma

fectly cool and collected under all cir
cumstances.
He was hauling fast train. and
had left Pittsburg more than an hour
late, with orders to make it up. 1t
was in the spring of the year, just as
the ground began to thaw. He was
going at 5O-mile gait rounding the
base OF hill-on one side was the
hill and the other creek, some 40
feet below-when he saw great rock,
which would weigh more than ton,
suddenly fall on the track short dis
lance ahead of him. His first i'm
pulse was to apply the brakes, but
there was no time to stop, and to hit
the rock seemed certain to topple the
engine and train into the creek.
Instead of reversing he pulled her
open another notch or two, the train
fairly jumping forward as 1t felt the In
crease of power. He struck the rock
under full Roadway, drove it from the
track. rolling it down the side into the
creek. while the engine and train fair
ly leaped over the broken rails. The
blow was terrific, and iolted passen-
gers from their berths in the sleeping
cars, but they were saved by the
quickness of Sam, and his nerve"

general public, would try to lay the
blame on me, and say that / was
drunk. That is one of the things with
which railroad men have to contend.
The public has the idea that we are
a set of rough, hardened men, who
care little for life. An engineer knows
that his life is in danger, and if he
did not think anything of the passen-
gers, he is not going to take any risk
that he can avoid If an accident does
happen, his first thought is to protect
his train, if there is likelihood of an
other train coming in either direction.
1t is not SO much thought OF himself
or the lives of his passengers as it is
of his duty"

American and British MILEAGE.

The total railroad mileage of the
United States is greatly in excess of
that of Great Britain. The reason for
this is an obvious one. One need only
to compare the area of the two coun-
tries to find it.
If the United States MAD no more
railroad mileage to-day than there is
in Great Britain it would be utterly
out of the question to move the freight
production of the country. AS in all
other countries. the building of rail-
roads in America has followed the line
of necessity as the country was set
tied and brought under cultivation.
According to "Poor's Manual of
Railroads of the United States" for
1908, the total railway mileage then
was 224,382.19, with 1861. 10 miles of
second tracks and sidings. This makes
total trackage Of 324,033.38 miles.
The number of passengers carried
for the year was S60.64s,574, and the
tons Of freight moved, 1.722.210,2s1,

club. In addition to the ordinary club
rooms, there will be "business recep-

Dealers In Gems Form Association e
Aid Authorities.
To stop the smuggling of gems, espe-
cially diamonds and pearls. move
ment has been begun in the Maiden
lane district of New York city. Thirty
Of the largest wholesale firms have
formed an association for the purpose
of cooperating with the federal au-
thorities in running down all snug
glers, whether dishonest dealers or re-
turning tourists.
One Of the means proposed for elm
mating the gem smugglers or at least
curtailing their activity is to induce
the London diamond syndicate or the
British authorities to keep accurate
records of shipments. as is done by the
customs authorities in New York. In
addition. the members of the new asso-
citation in New York are to obtain and
give information that will assist the
authorities in tracing shipments and
sales in New York and abroad when
ever there is suspicion Of smuggling.
