and therefore the expense falls on the
signers.
Court Cost or Taxes.
Inasmuch there will be future at
tempts at annexation either by Gary or
Hammond. in the event the present eff
fort should prove unsuccessful, the
property owners would be burdened
again with a cost to fight annexation.
Should Hammond be unsuccessful, the
property owners have no guarantee
that Gary, Highlands or Munster would
not make the same attempt. and while
1t would seem preposterous. the cost
to demonstrate would be there again.
This is not all, however. the annexa-
tionists argue. They say with the ter
ritory annexed, the rural district could
benefit by franchises which the city of
Hammond might grant, and thus in
sure privileges for the farmers Ii the
way of new telephone lines and inter
urbans which they standing alone could
not secure.
In Hessville. it appears. the citizens
are not unmindful of what benefits they
may receive. They recall the advan
tage they have had on several occa-
sions by calling the Hammond fire
department, and many of them feel that
the time is not far distant when they
shall need police protection. not be-
cause of the behavior of their own
citizens. but because of the ever in
creasing floating population which
strikes Hessville. Those are some of
the arguments that the pro-annexa-
tionists are putting up, and they are
seemingly finding ready ears in many
quarters in the rural district to be an
nexed.
John Prohl. one of Hammond's big
contractors and a native son of the
rural district which Hammond now
seeks to annex. Is a rural property
owner. but despite this is a strong an
nexationfst. He has the confidence of
every property owner in the district,
and has gone out among them to car
ry on the campaign at his own ex-
pense. knowing that his acreage will
be enhanced in value by making it city
property.

Foreiqn Whistles Are Weak.

One of the delights of railroad trav-
ell abroad is the escape from the tor
ture that the steam whistle on Amer
lean roads inflict 1t should not be in
ferred, however, that the foreign
locomotive is entirely destitute of
these -wrecking instruments. In
England it is the practise to equip
all the locomotives with whistles, but
they are of such diminutive proper
tions, as compared with those in use
in this country, that they look more
like playthings than an instrumental
ity to save human life.
In size they are no larger than an
ordinary pickle, and the sound they
send out closely resembles the squeak
of a frightened pig. They are used
principally In the shunting of trains
in yards and head houses, and are
intended as warnings to the men who
are directing the movements of the
cars.

The largest locomotive ever built
in the United Kingdom is now under

tionally heavy loads long distances
over very billy country, and Is being
built for the Mexican National Rail-
way company, who have ordered q
number of the same type from the
Vulcan Locomotive company.
The weight of the engine, without
the tender, Is 140 tons. It Is tank
engine, and has an immense single
boiler, the length Of which Is over
forty feet 1t is nearly three times as
long as the boiler of an ordinary tank
engine on a British railway.
Firing and driving are controlled
from the center of the locomotive and
a dotble cab Is built round the middle
of the boiler Driver and fireman

locomotive Conversation"

The way locomotives talk" Is after
this fashion: II the trainman should
hear two long blasts from the whistle
he would know it was request for
the releasing of the air brakes and
that everything ahead was all right.
Four short blasts of about a quar-
ter OF second each would be instruc'
tons to the rear brakeman to go back
with a red flag and protect his train
from collision Something had hap
pened ahead which required holding
it up. While the dagman is making
haste to the rear he hears four long
toots of the whistle, the engine tell
ing him that the tracks have been
cleared and that he Is to return to
the train as fast as his legs can carry
him.
If a train on approaching signal
finds it at danger the engineer comes
to a stop, and after waiting reason
abel time for orders to proceed. which
do not come, he gives four short
snorts of the whistle, which imme-
diately arrests the attention of the
towermen or those who have in
charge the particular signal that is
holding the train up. Sometimes an
engineer will become impatient and
the first four blasts will be followed
by four others with only a few Sec
onds intervening. He does not see
why he should be kept waiting and
manifests this impression by way OF
the whistle.
Three long whistles, when the train
is under way, tell the trainmen that
a draw bar has pulled out or that
coupling has given way and that the
train has been cut in two. This calls
for hasty and careful attention, as
all kinds of trouble threaten when
this class of accident happens. Ii
the first section is stopped too sud
denly the rear one is liable to crash
into it and strew the tracks with
wreckage. Hundreds Of thousands OF
dollars worth of property is de-
stroyed every year because of the
parting Of trains.

Millions for Elevating.

All of the railroads of this country
that operate within the thickly-settled
sections of the big cities have been
engaged for years in the work OF elm.
mating dual crossings with the view
to lessening the necessity of making
day and night hideous to those living
in the vicinity of the scene OF opera
ton. Millions and millions OF dollars
have been spent in this work and
other millions will be expended in the
immediate future.
The cost incident to the elevation
of tracks in Chicago alone approx
mates s1.OO0OOO, while in and about
Boston SIS, 900, 900 is low estimate OF
what has been put into this form OF
roadbed improvement. The elevation
Of tracks through Lynn and at Har.
rison square will call for the expendi-
tire of at least $5,000,000, while those
contemplated at Waltham, Salem and
at other points will roll up an enor,

Funds to Fight tuberculosis.

FUNDS TO Fight IuperculoSlS.
Based on reports from all parts of
the United States the National Asso-
citation for the Study and Prevention
of tuberculosis has issued statement
which shows that in 1910 nearly SIS.
600, 900 was spent in the fight against
tuberculosis, as opposed to $8,000,OOO
spent In 1909. The largest item of ex-
pense In 1910 was for treatment in
Sanatoria and hospitals, 81, 376, 500 be-
ing expended for that purpose, or
more than double the amount for 1909
The anti-tuberculosis associations
dispensaries $889,000. The special mu-
nicipal and state expenditures aggre-
gated$1, 100000.
The statement declares that the
most significant fact in the survey OF
the years work is the increase in the
percentage of public money spent.
While in 1909 53.5 per cent. of the
total expenditure was from federal,
state, municipal or county funds, 62.6
per cent came from public appropria-
tons in 1910. The actual amount Of
public money spent in tuberculosis
work this past year was $9,267, 900, or
more than double the amount from
this same source in 1909 This fact
indicates, the national association de-
clares, that anti-tuberculosis associa-
tons are gaining ground, by securing
increased appropriations from public
money
