Now let US turn to the record on the
New York City subways. During a
period of eight years the subways car
ried 1,664516.S22 passengers without a
single fatality, due to train accidents.
During the eleven years existence Of the
subways only one collision accident has
occurred.
The comparison Of the subway's rec
ord with that Of the steam roads may.
on account Of the greater difference IN
mileage and speed, be objected to as
not furnishing proper data for COMPARE
son, but the whole lesson summed up is
simply this-that nearly three-quarters
Of the collision accidents on steam roads
were occasioned. primarily. by failure on
the part Of the engineer and tratnmen
and their failure was due to the lack
Of observation and obedience Of signals
and orders. Whereas. the subway plan
of operation. with reliance upon the au-
tomato stop. presents marvellous rec

SnoW-Proof Boots,

Members of arctic expeditions Have found that gum boots are not proof against the entrance of moisture for snow water seems to penetrate the rubber where the boots are in more or less constant use for long period of time. This is prevented by an oc. casional application of shellac, which effectually keeps the moisture out, even when subjected to the hardest wear. Shel,Ac can also be made use of to advantage in coating the thongs of snow shoes for the purpose of re- sisting th< moisture when moving over the wet snow. The shoes thus treated enable the men to make much better headway over the snow with less ef' fort. The thongs which have been treated with shellac are also said to dry out quicker after uee than others

 Manners seem to be largely mat ter ct individual preference since there Is so little harmony ln opinion. A wo man who condemns praise of pretty gown or becoming hat on the score of bad taste will openly criticise her deighbor for acts which are not to her liking.
