PURE TOMMYROT WAS STATE
WENT THAT ENGINEERS READ
SIX SIGNALS A SECOND
RAILWAY Age Gazette)

Among the many wild and ignorant
statements made on the floor of Con-
gress during the consideration" of
the "eight-hour" law and during its
subsequent defense by Democratic
members, the blue ribbon should I'M
doubtedy be awarded to Senator
James A. Reed, of Missouri, which is
worth repeating as illustrating the
amount of information on the subject
possessed by some Statesmen" who
voted for the bill. He said: 81 talk
ed with man who is manifestly more
than half a nervous wreck He used
to pull the Twentieth Century Limited
between Chicago and New York. He
told me that by actual mathematics it
could be demonstrated that upon that
run the engineer holding that throt-
tie had to read and record in his own
brain six signals every second. Eight
hours a day is long enough for that
kind of labor. Eight hours is long
enough for the passengers to ride be-
hind n man under that kind of a
strain. Senator Reed has apparent
ly been listening to some of the talk
of the brotherhood leaders. and has
received the impression that the train
men pull" their trains without much
assistance from the locomotive. He
would probably be much surprised If
informed of the actual facts, viz, that
the engineers on the Twentieth Cen
fury are changed seven times in TWEEN
ty hours between Chicago and New
York! that not one of them runs for
more than four hours trip, and that
each of them receives considerably
more than a days pay for each trip of
three or four hours that he makes on
the Century. He might pursue his in
vestigatlon that five hours, or 1900
miles, is the basis for days pay for
all passenger engineers on the East
ern roads, and that practically no pas
senger ever rides behind an engineer
who works as many as eight hours a
day. We do not blame the Senator for
becoming excited about the six signals
per second, but little actual mathe-
MATES" would have shown him that a
train running 60 miles an hour trav-
erses SO feet in a second, and he is
doubtless enough of a traveller to
know that the scenery along the New
York Central is not obscured by a sig
nal every IA feet. The artless credul-
ity shown by statesmen of the Reed
and La Toilette type when they are
talking to members of the labor I'M
ions is only equalled by the impossi-
bility Of getting into their heads a sin
gle real feet or truth regarding rail
way matters.

THE BONE BAROMETERS-IT IL A
FORTUNATE THING THAT
THEY ARE GOING OUT
OF STYLE
indianapolis News.)

1t is fortunate thing that bone baro-
meters are going out of style. The
people who always felt everything in
their bones were forever feeling many
things that nobody wanted them to
feel 1t never rained on u holiday, the
washer-woman never failed to come,
the bugs never ate the roses, company
never appeared Unexpectedly, nothing
unpleasant ever happened without the
person who had bones declaring that
she had known it all the time; that
she had felt il i'm her bones. If the
bone barometers could have been
trained to predict sunshine and good
CROPS they would have been very good
THINGS 20 have and would never have
gone out of style, but bone barom-
eter was always falling And at last
it has fallen almost out Of sight
or course, bone barometers were
frauds anyway. They never predicted
anything except in the vaguest man
ner until after it had happened and
nobody cared what they had to say
about it then, or, at least, if anybody
did care, it was too late to do anything
but care. Grandmothers, as pleasant
and useful as they were in other ways,
were often the most determined OF
bone barometers. Anybody VINO re-
members a day when there was going
to be a picnic and it rained, will re-
member that grandmother said that
matter of fact. she had been busy
making cookies and frying chicken the
whole day before with never a word
about rain. 1t was a source OIL Won
der and interest that grandmother
should have known that there was GO
ing to be a cyclone or a food or an
earthquake in some far-off locality,
but the fact that she knew ii was go
ing to rain and spoil the picnic and
never said word about it until after
ward was enough to make one lose
faith in the prophecies of her bones
any may account for the fact that they
are going out of style just as grand
are in so many other ways.
OF course, it was not always grand
mothers. There were many bone
barometers among the loafers that
used to sit round the stove in the WI
lage grocery store or over the register
in the city corner drugstore. And
the things they felt in their bones
were enough to make the world rheu-
matte with all the scandals, the rheu-
fortunes, the wars and the crop fail
ures. II is not, you see, so much the
things themselves that matter as 1t IS
the way we feel about them, and there
Is no sense at all in feeling things in
your bones before they happen and
then feeling them other places after
hey happen.
