The interstate commerce commits
sion has issued its bulletin showing
the mileage of railways in the United
States worked by the block system on
January 1. 1912.
The total length of road operated
under the block system on January /,
1912. was 76,409.T miles; 20.S34.S
miles automatic and 56,074.S miles
manual. There was an increase of
2,623.4 miles automatic and 2,517.2
-miles manual, total increase in
miles operated under the block sys-
tenn during the year of 5,140.6 miles.
The present bulletin includes the
following roads which have not here
tofore reported the use of the block
system: Arizona & New Mexico;
Carolina & Northwestern; Chicago,
Terre Haute & Southeastern; Copper
Range; Denver & Rio Grande; Lake
Erie & Pittsburg On. Y. c. freight
railway; New York, Chicago & ST.
Louis, and New York, Philadelphia &
Norfolk
Five instances are noted where two
companies operate their two single
track lines jointly as double track,
and in the table these pieces of road
are credited as double track to both
companies.
The Seaboard Air Line, on eO6
miles, now uses the telegraph in block
signaling, where, according to last
years report, the telephone was used.
A number of roads have increased
the use of the telephone for. block
ing, notably the Cleveland, Cincinnati
Chicago & ST. Louis, which now re-
ports 922 miles of road on which the
blocking is done by telephone. The
telegraph has been entirely abandoned
for block signaling on that company's
line. The total length of road in the
United States on which the telephone
is used for blocking is now reported
as 1884 miles, as compared with H.
199 miles one year previous.
The use of alternating currents in
track circuits for automatic signals is
now reported by a dozen roads, the
aggregate length of track being S3S
miles. Most of the track thus report
ed is on lines where electric motors
are used.
Upper quadrant semaphores are
now in use on over 2, coo miles of road
the most prominent roads reporting
these being the Baltimore & Ohio,
Chicago. Milwaukee e st. Paul. New

Northern Pacific. This list contains
20 companies altogether.
The bulletin contains the usual
table, showing the length of railway
on which the telephone is used for the
transmission of train orders. The total
length of road thus reported is S.
6S4 miles, as compared with 41,717
miles one year ago. On few lines
both telegraph and telephone are in
use, so that this increase of 6,S07
miles in telephone mileage is offset
by decrease in telegraph mileage. of
only SSH miles.

There are orphans, half orphans

mission is to this particular part
of the great brotherhood of man
whose distress cries to heaven
and whose condition beggars de-
scription. Yet it is no fault of
the child. Without mind to
think or ability to act for itself,
it must accept conditions as they
are. The innocent, helpless con-

to the diciples of old. Does it
