an individual industry to its danger
class is therefore made according to
law. Against this decision an appeal
can be made within two weeks to the
Imperial office. At intervals of five
years, the danger tariff may be re-
vised. based upon the number of acci-
dents during that period The asso-
citation knows from it's own returns
the annual number of accidents and
the payment for compensation; it
can decide whether or not a revision
will be made. These facts also enable
them to determine if the premium can
be reduced.
practically all the German trade
associations issue books and pam
phlets with special hints and regula-
tions for accident prevention. In ad-
dition to technical descriptions of the
safety appliances themselves, the ex-
pcrience of the entire trade in deal
ing with dangerous parts of machines
and processes is summarized for the
benefit of the employer and his work
men. For example, the Southwestern
Wood Working Association issues an
illustrated book of l75 pages pre-
pared by II. Hofmann, their technical
inspector. The Trade Association of
Butchers issues a safety manual Of
100 pages of descriptive text, scale
drawings and photographs. These
publications constitute a veritable en-
cyclopedia of safety.
Attention is called to the fact that
four recent accidents. every one OF
which could have been prevented by
the use of safety device, will entail
payment of $4,000 upon the associa-
ton. if the four crippled men live to
the normal old age. The safety de-
vices would have cost $40.

PREVENTING
ACCIDENTS
Germany Makes System
attic Study of Conditions.
America Might Profitably Study
and Initiate This Admir-
able System.

By careful study and systematic
treatment, risks in every industry in
Germany have been materially re-
duced in recent years, and accidents
have been cut down SC per cent. When
a firm enters one of the great German
trade associations each part of its
business is classified by government
officials according to its degree of dan
ger. 1t is thus forced to insure its
employees automatically. If 1t succeeds
in making its methods safer, il may
be placed in "A higher class and secure
better rates. Thus ii is for the inter-
est of every large company to reduce
possible The trade associations them
selves cooperate TO this end by issu-
ing literature OF all kinds and placing
it with their members. That we may
profitably study and initiate these
German methods in our own land Is
the opinion of William IL. Tolman,
director of the American Museum Of
Safety, who writes on the subject in
American Industries. Says Mr.. Tol-
man:
Each one of the siNty-six trade
associations for the German empir
is subivided into branches for the
sake of determining the amount of
risk involved in the conduct of that
branch OF the industry. Then the as
sociation decides to which danger
class each portion of the business OF
the members shall be assigned; as a
new firm enters the association, each
part of the business falls automatical-
iy into It's respective danger class.
However, before the findings Of
the trade association are fixed, they
must be approved by the Imperial
Insurance office. The assignment Of

The fact. too. that Methusalehs great
age is especially cited is against this
theory Of each year being only a month,
for he would have been but eighty years
old at his death. according to our reckon
ing-and this is not at all remarkable.
Any one looking over the list of the
heads of the first ten generations of mCr
will notice that Methusaleh's is not great
~ in excess OF several others. Adam die'
aged nine hundred and thirty. Seth nine
hundred and twelve, Enoch nine hun
dred and five. Kenan nine hundred and
ten, Mahalalel eight hundred anl ninety
five. Jared nine hundred and sixty-two,
(only seven years less than Mothusaleh),
Enoch three hundred and sixty-five. Me-
thusaleh nine hundred and sixty-nine, p,
Lamech seven hundred and seventy-seve
seventeen years younger than Methusa-
leh.
The suggestion has also been mad that
these great ages did not refer to indiyid-
uals, but to the time which tribes lived,
slderation by close students of the Bi-
bile.
The real explanation now approved by
most Bible scholars is based upon the
knowledge that the Babylonians gave
their early ancestors thousands of years
of life. Written records were not kept
of the early heroes and distinguished
the custom to attribute remarkable deeds
and remarkable length of life TO these
personages. That is how 1t comes about
that the statement is found in the Bi-
BILE. ''There were giants in those days
an exaggerated and legendary assertion.
Now the fact Is that Abraham, the
first Hebrew. came from Babylonia, and
he brought with him very naturally many
of the traditions of that land. He was
accustomed to hear stories OF the early
ancestors of the Babylonians. who had
performed marvellous deeds and 6ived to
amazing ages.
The chronicle of the ages of Adam,
Seth, Methusaleh and others Is In what
is understood to be the Legendary section
of the Bible, which was written for the
sole purpose of tracing the decent of
Abraham from Adam. The Old Testa-
ment. 1t must be remembered. is a His
tory Of the Hebrews. written by them,
and in no sense history OF all mankind,
Thus II Is commonly Ngreed among
modern Bible students that the great
age assigned to Methusaleh is legendary.
II is not literally believed that Methusa-
