American Railroad Accidents
Compared to Those of Europe

the traffic statistics in miles. 1t
sbo,,id he taken into consideration,
however. that the British accident
statistics above quoted do not inciuoe
tollrneys by holders of season tickets
In the total of passenger journeys
and in this class of travel very
large proportion of the short distance
traffic occurs. If we assume tnat tne
average length of a passenger jour-
new in Great Britain is only a thir9
of that in the United States, or IL
miles (Which is almost certainly far
too low when season. ticket holders
are excluded we still have an aver
age casualty rate in railway pas
senger travel in the United States
nearly five times as great as that ON
the railways of Great Britain.
1T does not follow at all from
these figures, for example, that when
ever a traveller takes railway Jour-
new in the United States, he is in
Eve times as great danger of death
as he would be in a British railway
carriage. There is a considerable
mileage of railways in the United
States that is now so well equipped
and so well managed that the casual
ty rate to passengers travelling upon
them probably approaches the low
figure reached on British railways.
The average rate of railway casual
Ties in the United States is kept
high by the defective appliances and
poor discipline on many railways
which suffer from poor management
In one department or another. 1t Is
fair to say also that the same situa-
ton exists to a certain extent In
Great Britain. where the average for
the whole country is held down by
the records of the roads with poorer
mAnagement-En News.

While a far greater number of pas
sengers are killed in getting on ana
off trains than in all the train accl-
dents combined, the former class OF
accidents are due, in most cases, 10
the carelessness of the passenger him
self. In order to compare the relative
safety of railroad operation In the
two countries, we should consider
only accidents for which the passen-
ger is in no way responsible.
In the year 1910 the Interstate Com
merce Commission statistics showed
a total of 1913 passengers killed in
train accidents on the steam railways
of the United States. During that
year the total number of passengers
carried was 971,6S3, 1893. 1t, therefore,
appears that in that year one passen-
ger was killed for each 100000 pas
sengers carried.
Turning now to Great Britain, the
last available annual official report
of the British Board of Trade states
that the average rate of casualty to
railway passengers in train accidents
during the ten-year period ending In
1909, on all the railways of Great
Britain and Ireland, was one passen-
ger killed for every 72,000000 carried,
or a rate of casualty less than one
fourteenth as great as that in, the
United States.
1t is objected, however, that COM
parison by the number of passengers
carried is not fair to the United
States. since the average length or
a railway journey is much greater
here than in Great Britain. The
length of the average passenger jour-
ney in the United States In 1910 was
SO 1-3 miles. Statistics of British rail-
ways are not so kept as to show

From the Philadelphia Ledger.

It rum lie THllduelpIlld Ledger.
In the October woods a great many
people are searching for the small
quintessence of nourishment held in
tiny, brown-shelled sac with the
bristling green defense of a vegetable
porcupine.
First of all. the cluster of burs
must be knocked from the tree by
well-directed missiles, and once in
while stick or stone recoils like a
boomerang on him who sent it. When
the burs fall at last upon their
rustling mat of dead leaves, they
must be pried open; and the minute
nettle-like lances resent the intrusion
of fingers exploring for the soft, satin
interior of natures jewel cabinet.
Like the round, communicating
pebbles which the biologists call
'geodes," which are cracked open to
reveal glittering crystals within the
chestnut-bur gives no hint N it's I'M
plausible exterior of it's desirable
contents. 1t rewards perseverance,
and is not for the faint-hearted or
the lily-fingered.
Even so it is with most of the prizes
that are worth having in this life.
They are beset with repellent OBJ
stacles to their seizure; they are ex-
ternally unpromising: and only he
who has the faith and the courage to
hold on finds that what he has taken
is worth having. He must be pre-
pared to suffer pain and discontinue,
it may be, for the sake of his ideal,
with q staunch faith in himself and
in the outcome of his effort. He must
not be deferred by the piercing thorns
of the outer integument that hides
the very heart of life.
