Effective Danger slanal.

Danger signals at grade crossings
being installed by one OF the eastern
railroads are expected to prove to be
ivery effective. AS soon as train
comes within a mile OF the crossing
the signal shows a red light and a
Igong that can be heard 500 yards
away begins to ring. Both warnings
continue to act until the train has
passed. when the gong ceases and the
red light changes to white. Should
abe wires become deranged. or should
anything happen to the mechanism,
the signal on the disk flashes to danger

tPLAfl TO SAVE LIVES
MEANING OF THE "SAFETY FIRST"
MOVEMENT.
lSeasoned RaiIroaders So Thoroughly
Accustomed to Their Work That
They Risk Their Lives unnee-
cssarily Is One Bad Feature.

In accident prevention. as In every
iother field, it is the little things that
count.
For every train that leaves the
track, injuring passengers, dozens are
hurt by falling through bad spots in
sstation platforms OF stepping on rusty
mails or tripping over debris.
Fer every man who sacrifices his
life unavoidably there are scores KILL y
,or manned because of the chances
they take. in direct violation OF all
rules of self-preservation.
Hundreds. yes. thousands OF times
each day trainmen stand directly IN
front Of an onrushing locomotive. and
lstep nimbly on the foctboard, when a
mistake of a thousandth part OF
second would mean disaster. Some
day there will come a miss. and
mass of unrecognizable remains Will
lbe scooped up from beneath the loco
motive that snuffed out human life.
Sitting on a brake wheel or stand
ing very close to the edge or end o.
q moving car. going between moving
cars, riding with the foot on the
brake beam, oil box or journal rig
ging, kicking draw.bars in making q
coupling; riding on the footboard be-
tween an engine and cars that are be-
ing showed; jumping on or on NOV
Ing cars or engines; placing or allow
ing material or rubbish to remain too
near car tracks where 1t Is liable to
cause men to stumble and fall under
trains; throwing boards or other mate
rial aside with points Of nails extend
Ing upward: using spike mauls which
are loose on handles, opening knuckles
on or passing between cars when they
are about to strike-these and count
less other practices are what cause &C
cidents to pile up. and against the
continuance OF which the safety
first" campaign is directed.
It Is an established fact that the
seasoned railroader. unless he has be-
come imbued with the doctrine Of self
preservation. will continually take
chances that are appalling to even the
most venturesome beginner. 1t is an
other case of familiarity breeding
.carelesspess. And the result Of such
Indifference is found in the killed and
manned whose names each year ap-
pear on the railroad records.
The number Of accidents that are
unprevente BILE by the exercise Of due
care is negligible" said an expert. dis
cussing the question. I'VE have at
our command statistics covering every
mishap Of any nature on our lines.
and I know whereof I speak when I
make that statement No man delib-
erately sets out to cause disaster.
Whenever the human element enters
-and that is almost In every in
stance-it proves to be case OF
thoughtlessness rather than criminal
intent.
This is what we are striving to
overcome. We want to instill into
every man sense Of responsibility
that will not only cause him to go
about his work with due caution but
will keen him on the alert to see
that others do likewise. The man
who permits an unsafe practice to
pass without calling attention to II is
in reality as negligent as the man who
commits the error."-Chicago Evening

Zeppelins and Aeroplanes.

The Zeppelins and the aeroplane
have played a very important par
in the European conflict. These in
yentions Of modern times have dem
onstrated Their usefulness in tbs
game of war A very interesting ar
tiele appears in the Review of Re.
views dealing with these messengers
of the air.
1.-THE fast aeroplane has rendered
the ordinary dirigible unsafe for
daylight warfare. Most of the
French and English airships and
some of the German collapsible Par
seval balloons have speeds Of about
forty miles an hour. They are OBJ
viously at the mercy Of a fast armed
aeroplane, able because of its greater
speed to choose its own position and
pour a destructive hail of bullets,
The great, rigid Zeppelins alone can
hope to contend with high powered
aeropIanes; for they have been so
improved that just before the war
their average speed was increased to
over sixty-three miles an hour, and
their maximum speed. with the
wind, to ninety-four miles an hour.
ARMED as they are with machine
guns and capable as they are of ris-
Ing to safe heights twice as rapidly
Is the highest powered aeroplane
hey must be regarded as veritable
attleships of the air
But why are there both aero
planes and airships? F)r the same
reason that there are drcadnaughts
and torpedo boats. Each has its
own function. Aeropianes are usc-
full chiefly for tactical recornais-
sance in other words, for scouting
after armies have entrenchod them
selves and numbered and unlimber-
ed their artillery; airships are USE
ful chiefly for strategical reconpais-
sance: in other words, for scouting
at a time when armies are moving
toward the terrain which they in
tend to occupy. Although aero
planes, guided by skillful pilots Of
marvellous endurance, have stayed
aloft continuously for more than
twenty hours, the strain is too great
for ordinary human nerves. Even
a continuous fight Of five hours
makes demands on a pilots nervous
force.e
