HOT WEATHER poNTs.

There is a lot of advice drifting about concerning hot weather conduct in the interest of health. There are many things which experience has taught and which have been indelibly impressed upon the mind, but expe- riences vary and what happens to one does not of necessity befal1 everyone else. It is through the great amount lessons are learned and much unneces- sary trouble prevented.
 Thus much good is possible from the following list of hot weather don'ts:
 Don't worry. It never did any good and it never will.
 Don't rush into a lot of useless work
 Don't eat for the sake of eating. nor drink for the sake of drinking. Over crowding does more harm than good.
 Don't eat food that has been kept too long.
 Don't eat contaminated food nor fruit,
 !. Don't work hard in the direct rays of the sun, although many so-called sunstrokes are due to other causes than the great luminary.
 Don't attempt unreasonable tasks and dress according to the weather.
 Avoid excitement, keep cool mentally and the best results will follow.
 Such is what great majority can be expected to do without advice. but it is nevertheless grand good time for the use of large amount of com mon sense. The merits of it's cooling influence are unquestioned.

The Cost of Noise.

In a recent conversation the super intendent of a large stamp mill made the observation that noise costs money" We had been discussing the use of stamps as crushing machines and the comparative merits of various devices for crushing ore. One of the arguments advanced by this superin- tendent against the use of stamps was the tremendous and never-ending noise produced by the falling weights In his opinion the din was responsible for many misunderstood directions and orders to employees, resulting in con- fusion. loss of time and expensive mistakes. The point Is readily per ceived. The average mill employe is anxious to give the impression that he understands the boss's orders, and rather than ask a question for further information he will sometimes pre- tend to understand and then go and seek advice from fellow workman. The order may be wrongly executed or not at all. The noise of the stam 3s contributes greatly to this condition. makes it difficult to give and receive orders, and undoubtedly causes many mistakes The cost of noise may not be estimated exactly, but it is a real factor. -IMetallurgical and Chemical Engineering.

AReIrRArloN SHOULD PREvAlL

While railroad questions are so much in the public eye, it is impos- sibie to overlook the action which has been taken and the statements which have been made in connection with the demands of the engineers and hremen on the western roads. While their wants are much in line with such appeals which are made to railroads, the most surprising declaration is to be found in the absolute refusal, made in advance before any such sugges- tion had been offered, that arbitration under the Erdman act would not be considered.
 As in all such instances demands far in excess of what can reasonably be expected have been made, but with out a possibility of a compromise on a fair and just basis. The undertaking is one which proposes to force. the roads into conceding the increases, re- gardless of the justice thereof and re- sardless of the effect upon the pub te. with the alternative of a strike.
 Whether, by their stand, 1t is to be construed that they will not listen to the submission of the questions to ar bitration at all, or that they will not do SO under the Erdman act provisions is not made plain, but If there is merit In their demands and justice is back sf them, there is nothing in arbitration which calls for any such attitude as that. Rather does their stand preju- dice their cause from the start for anything which will not stand the scrutiny of arbitration cannot lay claim to justifiable action.

 Or that, if things go on as they are now going. there will be no children at all born in 1899.
 Or that in a certain time there will be more insane people in the country than sane; and the sane will be locked up in aSylums.
 Or that in a definite number of years every house in town will be a dance hall, and there will be more tangoists than there are people.
 Or that tuberculosis, cancer and the hookworm will use up the entire pop ulation and go after the dogs and cats.
 Or that, with the present rate of in- crease in automobile business. every human being in 1996 will have three machines and there will be no room in the streets to move, two deep, all stall ed.
 tOr that, considering the trend of things in Washington, we shall have a king or a dictator In little while. Or that, taking capital and labor for our statistics, 1t will not be long be- fore two or three gentlemen own all the money and the millions will be gnawing bones. Or that religion Is dying out, and at a certain date the last church will be converted into livery stable.
 Statistics are grand. Take 'em with liberal dose Of imagination and they are about the scariest things you can find.
 The one thing that the figure jug glers, from Malthus down to the trust buster. leave out of consideration is this:
 That when anything in human af- fairs gets to be about so big it ba- comes top-heavy and falls.

A Great Clock.

The most trustworthy clock Tn the world is said to be that in the base ment of the Observatory at Berlin. in- stalled by Professor Foerster in 1897. It is enclosed in an air-tight glass cyl inder, and has frequently run for three months with an average daily deviation of only f1rteen one-thOuSandthS of a second. The Observatory stan are not satisfied even with this remarkable accuracy, and their efforts are direct ed towards securing ideal conditions for clock, by keeping it not only in an air-tight case, but also in an under ground vault, where neither changes of temperature nor of barometric pres sure can ever affect it-[From the London Chronicle.

RECOGNITION RY GOVERNMENT.

From the action which has been taken in the behalf of increased pay to the railroads for the transportation of the mails. good results are indicated from the amendment to the Moon bill which has followed in the lower house. Coming as the result of the recommendation of the postmaster general 1t is evident that the presen- tation of the claims by the railroads has not fallen upon barren ground and that the justice of them, to a cer- tain extent at least, is to be recog- nized.
 By the amendment there will be added about three and quarter mil lion dollars for the carrying of the mails, making in all a total appropri- ation of about sixty-two and a third millions. While this does not grant all that the railroads have asked for it. does mean a concession and a. re- lief and may be the stepping stone to the placing of this mail pay question upon a positive instead of an esti- mate basis. Mail business is increas- ing every year and in addition to the regular matter the parcel post has added a tremendous amount of work and calls for much greater accommo- dations. It is, but proper that the post office department should meet these additional transportatio charges and at the same time do it in such a manner that it will result in providing the service that will best accomno- date the public. It is incumbent upon the department to see that it is not overcharged or that it is not wrong fully gouged because it is the govern ment and inclined in many ways to be free with it's money, yet it should not seek to dodge it's just expenses.

 Identical with those avouched by the heads ef the beef trust. Edward Til-- den of the Union stock yards in Chi rago has told The Times that, with. the recent notable increases in popp- laien, the area of the cattle ranges has contracted; civilization has made new demands, also, upon the supply of cereals that once went to manufac- ture beef and mutton. and the cost of the meats has increased with more rigid sanitary regulations. with the general insistence upon ehoieer cuts.'
 The condition only the more em- phasizes the part which the east and south can play in contributing to this supply. The west is going backward the same as the <east did long ago, but there Is no reason why there could not be profitable stimulation of that business again right here in New England.

Mountain of cuIm pi.appearinu.

The mountains of culm or coal waste which break the sky line throughout the anthracite coal region of Pennsyl- vania and which were for many years considered a nuisance are now being made to serve a very useful purpose. There is at present a market for all most any grade of anthacite that will burn, and no more coal goes to the culm bank except for temporary stor- age and subsequent recovery by wash CTS. These ranges of artificial hills, unsightly monuments to former waste, are contributing their share 10 the total coal production and are rapidly dis appearing. Even the waste from the culm- bank washers is being utilized, for 1t Is flushed into the mines and
 partly fills old workings where it ce-
