1914 has come and gone. Nothing
we could ever do will change, in the
least, anything we did during its pro-

hardships, and it's failures, and re-

termination to profit by them, and
thus by overcoming past mistakes
make the coming year better, bright

an enterprise of this kind. 1t has
long been recognized that such a
movement should be made, and it is
quite likely that this will be the next
big improvement which our citizens
will engage in.

sickness. It is to be hoped that be-
fore the year 1915 is very old, we will
have a good old winter snow storm
which will be not only boon in the

bump register is the latest piece
of machinery to be added 10 the road
building department of Cleveland Ohio
The inspector makes one trip over the
road with this machine in an automo-
bile and at the end he has an accurate
record of every uneven place passed
over. Every bump is registered upon
d sheet of paper in the machine.
The register is inclosed in small
box, which is carried upon the floor of
the automobile. 1t contains IA clock
work, which rcvolves d disk upon which
piece of paper is wound. A pencil
marks a continuous line over level
road. At every bump it puts in cou-
pie of joys. which vary in proportion
to the rebound of the car
The line is really a sort of map of
the road which makes it easy to de-
termine from the joys just where the
uneven places lie. Aside from its
value to the roadmaker such a record
preserved in the. city archives may be
utilized as evidence in cases .of acct
dent requiring reliable testimony as to
the condition of the road.

Hospitals for Krupps' Employees.
an Review of Reviews.

From the American Review Of Reviews
In such a dangerous business as that
of Krupps' there has to be provision
for quick and adequate care of the
injured and disa bled, and this depart
ment is very efficient. The Gonzales
cent Home, which adjoins the Old Peo-
pies Colony, is one of the most charm
ing places of the kind / have anywhere
seen, The gardens stretch down to the
Ruhr terrace overlooking the valley.
All around are places for games and
exercises, and the injured workmen sit
about playing games or reading their
newspapers The food and medical at
tention are of the very best, which is
only just as nearly all the men have
suffered terrible injuries in the works.
One poor lad with whom l spoke had
had both legs broken. Another had
suffered terribly. while working with a
powerful explosive.
Fortunately for the workmen, and
perhaps for the employers, there is in
Germany compulsory insurance of all
that in any case the employe who is
i'll or injured must be cared for out of
the Insurance funds The krupp firm,
however has improved upon the ma
tional system, and has provided a sys-
tenn of it's own, which enables it to
give considerable further assistance to
its employees. They pay a workman
whose annual wages are LOO marks
and who has served thirty years, $50
marks per year as an old-age pension.
The government pension is at present
not more than $50 marks-this the
workman gets IN addition to his
krupp pension.

A Comet Out of Sight.
From the Columbus Journal.


TIL, ..aS comet III our morning
skies Il few weeks ago. but it has gone
down into southern skies, where it at
tanned greater proportions than it ex-
hibited UP north. But now it has
broken into three pieces which in a
few weeks will sail entirely out of
sight. What will become of the frag-
ments? Probably break into smaller
fragments, and still smaller, until after
awhile they will become a band of me-
teors, and some distant day the earth
may run into them and they will seem
like a shower of stars. That was the
case with Biela's comet. which became
a swarm of meteorS, and on the 9th of
every November the earth collides with
the swarm, under the beautiful consteI-
lation of Andromeda. The comet now
in the south is Mellish's. but there is no
need to remember the name, for we will
never see his comet again. especially in
cOmetic form.
