lation to the problem:
Ocean r. Wood, who takes the Twen-
tieth Century Limited from Syracuse to
Albany, was recently asked at a public
hearing what his running-time was be-
tween the two points. He replied
"'Two hours and forty-two minutes.
That's las miles in 1872 minutes We
are allowed to make up twelve minutes
for lost time, which we might drop. We
can only go through Syracuse at eight
miles an hour, and there are nine other
slow-downs, so that we have to run
about seventy to seventy-five miles an
hour to get in on time. In 14S miles
we meet Isl stop-signals, which | must
locate in all kinds of weather, and if
any of them are out of order | report
the number of the signal when we get

Imagine the dangers and response
bilities which this man meets in fair or
foul weather, in snow, in rain, in biz
yards, in fogs, throughout the year.
His vision must be geared for starlight,
for moonlight, or for black darkness or
driving storm, to locate, as he dashes
by, those Isl signals in las miles, the
loss of any one of which might mean
death in the ditch. A leading railroad
authority has been forced to admit that
it is doubtful if any human being car
properly manage an engine and locate
a signal every thirty-fve seconds. How
can the human element be depended
upon when it is being strained to the
limit? There are very few accidents OF
branch lines, although these are usually
innocent of block-signals and othe
safety-appliances. Is this because thu
human element is better on branch lines
Quite the contrary. The best men run
on the fliers. But on the branch line
average speed of twenty and twenty
five miles an hour are the rule, wherea
on main lines they average from fort.
to forty five miles, or even more.

March Century News Notes.

Toscanini, the Metropolitan Opera
House conductor, is one of the most
striking figures in the world of music.
His memory is so prodigous that he
can conduct without the aid of written
music almost one hundred operas. In
the March Century will appear a
character sketch of this remarkable
musician, including an account of his
rise and a detailed description of his
methods. Those who are interested in
opera will find the article unusually en-
pertaining in view of the fact that the
newspaper accounts of Toscanini have
been so meagre. The article will be
illustrated with photographs and origi-
nal sketches, one by Caruso.
Americans who would like to know
exactly what Europeans think of them
as a class will find all their questions
answered in the March Century tc
which Maurice Francis Egan, Minister
to Denmark and author of Every
body's St. Francis" has contributed
an article entitled Americans and the
European Point of View" American.
who think they are, or ought to be
looked up to by Europeans will fine
some of Mr.. Egan's statements rather
startling.

We have heard so much about coal
during the past few months that there
seems nothing fresh to say about 1t.
But how many people know what an
immense number of things can be pro-
duced from a ton of black diamond?
You can get 1,5O0 pounds of coke, 20
gallons of ammonia water and l4O
pounds of coal tar, says the Brooklyn
Eagle" If you distill the coal tar it
will yield 60 pounds of pitch, II pounds
of creosote, IA pounds of heavy oil, 9
pounds of napthol yellow, 6 pounds of
naphthaline, pounds of napthol, 2
pounds of solvent naphtha, overa pound
each of aurine, benzine, aniline,
toludine, nearly half a pound of
anthracene and nine-tenths of pound
of toluene of coal tar. From the last
named we obtain the valuable substance
known as saccharine, which is 230 times
as sweet as the best cane sugar, one
part of it giving very sweet taste to 6
thousand parts of water. By using &
ton of coal this way you can get more
profit out of it than you can by selling
it for burning.

MlDOLEBURY 6 UATE
HONORED.
Ebert s. Brigham Appointed
Commissioned of Agriculture.


Commissioners of Agriculture.
The appointment of Ebert S. Brig
ham, Middlebury, 1903, as Commissioner
of Agriculture will please his many
friends in this vicinity, who have fol-
lowed his career with interest. The
following editorial is from the Buring-
ton Free Prees:
Governor Fletcher's administration
will have its effect, not in the present
alone, but also in the future of the
State. A demonstration of the prob
ability of this assertion is found in the
appointment of Ebert S. Brigham to be
commissioner of agriculture and in the
policy leading up to this appointment.
The policy pursued by Mr.. Brigham's
predecessor, o. l.. Martin, in his
very excellent work for the State had
for its object the education of the
farmers. This was valuable, but from
its very nature was sure to reach a
point where it could be handled better
by the distnctivey educative depart
ment of the States machinery. Gov
ernor Fletcher's policy, if we interpret
it Alright, is that if there is education
along lines of agriculture to be done we
should aim to make this the charge of
the agricultural department of the
State University, and leave the com
missioner of agriculture free for other
work.
Under the newpolicy the commissioner
of agriculture should be the advance
agent of the farmers of Vermont. 1t
should be his work to help find new mar
ketsfor our products, and open them to
our farmers. The governor believes that
given profitable outlets for their pro-
duce the farmers will be quick to learn
the most economical way to grow it.
When Governor Fletcher outlined
this theory to one man, the comment
called forth was something as follows :
"The only trouble with the scheme is
that it calls for ten thousand dollar
man" To fill this place the Governor
has appointed the one available man
who measures entirely up to the re-
quirements.
Ebert S. Brigham is native Yer
monter. Furthermore he is a native
farmer. He is not only farmer but
a college graduate. He is not only a
college graduate but practical sue
cess. And the manner in which he
achieved practical success on a Yer
mont farm was by discovering and
opening mp for himself profitable new
market. The initiative and originality
which enables Mr.. Brigham to make &
lucrative new market for himself in the
production and sale of seed potatoe:
should make him of exceptional value
to the State.
This appointment is the better TO
being non-political. Mr.. Brigham is en-
tirely aloof from politics. By persona
, persuasion in the last campaign he wa
. a Progressive.
