DR.. Mullowney's Book ON China

"Made in Harrisburg" is rather a
good label. Many things come from
this city, from sun bonnets to type
writer's. One of the latest as well as
one of the best things to emanate
from here is a book by DR.. John j..
Mullowney, assistant chief medical in
spector in the State Department of
Health. His book is entitled ga
Revelation of the Chinese Revolution, -
and as DR.. Mullowney lived for many
years in China and knows his sub iect
thoroughly, he writes with convincing
energy. He has no use for the present
President Dictator - Yuan Shi-kai-
whose history he reviews in scathing,
merciless terms, but he pays high trib-
ute to General Hwang Hsing whom he
terms the brains of the Chinese revo-
luton. And, by the way, General
Hwang Hsing expects to reach Phila-
delphia this week and to remain there
year at least, studying some of our
governmental problems. DR.. Mullowney
does not think that patriotism is dead
in China. One day China will come in
to her own and be in truth as well as
in name a Democracy. The book is just
from the press. Incidentally Berlin
publishers seem to be quite active de-
spite conditions engendered there by
the war, for leading publishing house
of Berlin has asked DR.. Mullowney for
permission TO translate and publish his
book.

NOT A "KlL[ING' JOB
ERRONEOUS BELIEF ABOUT Lo-
coMoTIvE ENGINEERING.
No Reason Why Normally Healthy
Man Should Be Affected by tho
Work-some Things That
He Must Know.

It is a popular but erroneous belief
that locomotive engineers, like fire
horses and the good die young; or
at least break down in few years
under the responsibility and nerve
racking strain" of their jobs. Some
Of them may do SO, but they are in
the minority, and II their loss of
nerve Is not due to some unfortunate
accident, 1t is generally proof that
they are either physically or tempera-
mentally unsuited to their positions.
There is no reason why a normally
healthy man should suffer any i'll eff
fects from the work of driving loco
motive, IL he leads temperate life,
keeps himself in fair condition, mental
ly and physically, and makes 1t a rule
never to allow his thoughts to stray
from his work while on duty.
On the Pittsburgh division of the
Pennsylvania railroad q man must
serve ten years as a freight engineer
before he Is eligible to the passenger
service. II his record has been good,
he will then receive notice from the
road foreman, nominating him for the
position Of passenger engineman, pro-
viding he qualities at the necessary ex-
animation. In order to do this he must
be absolutely perfect as to eyeslght
and hearing, and must make an aver
age Of at least eighty-five per cent on
machinery, airbrakes, rules. time
tables, special and block signal rules
and signals.
On this division there are about one
thousand two hundred miles Of track
on main line and branches on which
the candidate for the passenger serv-
Ice must qualify before the signal in
structor as being familiar with the
whole division, for as an extra man he
may be subject to call In his turn for
services on any section where he may
be needed. There are automatic,
semi-automatic, interlocking, manual,
manual controlled and telephone block,
signals. It Ia absolutely necessary to-
know where each signal is, what kind
1t is and what It indicates, as we'll as
