ECONOMIC LIMITS TO TRAIN SPEED.

A contributor TO Railway and Locomotive En-
trains running by electric power at speed from 90
to 200 miles an hour has not been realized He
declares that despite the growing of electric
ton trains speeds have not greatly changed. Even
sixty miles hour s more exceptional than is gen.
orally supposed, although electric locomotives are
capable of drawing heavy trains much faster than
that 1t appears from this authority that super-speed,
whether by steam electricity, is not economical
All the limited so-called luxury trains, which
average more than fifty miles hour, entail consid-
cradle loss upon the companies operating them They
be said to pay only advertisement. Some
years ago Prussian railway equipped with
train for three hours at speed of seventy-four and
one-half miles hour. This performance was kept
up without seeming difficulty but after few weeks
the experiment abandoned. 1t was discovered
that the track being rapidly destroyed.
In where the electric has proved profitable
rule is normal 1t is only under exceptional condi-
tions that travellers demand a schedule calling for
an average of more than fifty miles hour. Besides
rapid deterioration Of rails and rolling stock by high
speed there is the important factor of safety espe-
cially In country where many roads cross the
railroad tracks at grade. 1t probable that

Her below the water line have sprung, and the
celebrated man-of-war is in danger of going to the
bottom unless she receives prompt attention.
Captain William r. Rush, commandant OF the
navy yard reports that the entire bottom of the old
frigate must be replaced If she is to be saved, and
numerous minor repairs will also be necessary He
estimates the cost of the work at $3.50 900 and it is
hoped that the New England delegation in Congress
will be able TO that trihing for worthy
object 1t has been suggested that the Constitu-

L. L. Buck, the man who construct
ed what at the time was the highest
railway viaduct or bridge in the
world, which bridged a chasm In the
Andes mountains about 1000 feet
above the sea level, afterward per-
fected plans for an engineering pro-
position which in many respects rep

eX-Mayor Grace in New York, about
Mr.. Bucks achievement in Peru.
With this stupendous work Mayor
Grace was familiar not only because
his earlier business career was in
Lima. Peru, but also because he was
one of a syndicate which entered into
contract with Peru to complete this
trans-Andean railroad.
Mr.. Buck, Mayor Grace told me,
was a native of New York, as, in
fact, was Henry Meiggs, who con-
structed for Chilli and afterward for
Peru railroads which Surmounted
about one-half of the distance up the
Andes to the top work which others
finished.

that Mr.. Buck is now engaged upon
a stupendous problem. l may not live
to see it completed, but I am salts
fled that it will be finished.
HE wants to show how from the
point of engineering. as well as from
that of commercial practicability, it
will be eXpedient to build tunnels

VICE INVESTIGATORS MUDDLED.

In trying to reyamp the diseredited theory, so
grossly insulting to working womanhood that low
wage for female labor is the chief of CONNER
ciazed vice. the so-ealled white slavery Investigating
committee of the Illinois Senate has succeeded in
tradicting itself 1t asserts that more women of the
underworld fall into dishonor from domestic employ
ment than from any other work"
Whatever the social disadvantages of domestic
service, the girl is not poverty-driven. In
addition to her board, lodging, fuel and light she
receives much cash many unmarried daughter
of well-todo parents has for clothing and spending
money. The preponderance of domestic servants
among the fallen ssterOod is due not to poverty but
to lack of mental and moral training. The servant
girl who is paid S3 to S. week besides her board
and lodging has less for going wrong ac-
count of poverty than the of wages. without
board and lodging, who gets than the minimum
wage of IS a week advised by the Illinois investi-
gators.
While the subject of a minimum wage it is
worth while to note an incident bearing the eco
nomic side of that idea On the first day of this year
a minimum wage law went into operation in Massa-
chusetts A committee of reputable citizens has
informed Governor Mccall that thousands of women
in that State have lost their positions result of
the enactment 1t is unavoidable that the estab
lishmeDt of minimum wage for any class of workers
should have as its consequence the wedding out of

cient compulsory The State fix wage, but it

Morality at So a Week

rom the NtW ibIk W oilus
1t has taken the Illinois Vice Com
mission, presided over by a sensa-
tional lieutenant governor, two years
and a half TO reach the conclusion
that female virtue in that State in
wolves q matter of about IS a week.
Unlike most inquisitions OF tho kind,
this one finds that girls in domestic
service are more subject to tempta-
ton than others, and TO correct the
evil it recommends not only tho es-
tablishment of minimum wage, but
of "a definite social status" for all
such workers.
The pity is that problems of this
nature are SO often left to dema-
goeues and faddists reinforced by
dealers in political and social special
ties that never yet have been found
effective. Injustice in the matter of
wages and treatment no doubt lies
at the root of a great deal of misery,
but the assumption that sure cure
for moral lapses is TO be had in any
stated stipend has nothing to support
it.
A social and industrial problem well
worth the attention of the States is
the number of young women destitute
of family or friends who are attempt
ing self-support. Most working girls
have homes, and their earnings,
whether large or small, contribute to
the support of those homes. The
clumsy hands of government can
neither increase the income of such
families materially nor enforce mo-
ralitv upon them. In fact, such people
nrobably live as decently as a rule as

Playing Villas Game.

FROM the Chicago News.
The president objects to the at
tempted compulsion that would make
him play Francisco Villas game in
Mexico, so Senator Stone told the
Senate the other day after a CONVEX
sation with Mr.. Wilson. The un-
speakable attacks of Villas men
upon American citizens have been
made, the president is quoted as say,
ing, in order to force the United
States into war with Carranza.
Plainly. in an affair of so great i'm
port, it would be the height OF folly
were tho government at Washington
to permit a subtle-minded Mexican
bandit to entrap and involve the
United States. First Chief Car
rama should be given his chance to
punish the men who perpetrated the
Santa Ysabel massacre. II he shall
fail it may be necessary for the Uni
ted States to send troops into Mexico
for tho purpose OF dealing with Villa
and his gang, but tho object of such
an expedition should be the appre-
hension of the murderous outlaws
and not a collision with the recog-
nized government of Mexico.
II Congress insists upon ordering
intervention which shall not discrim-

rivers were finished some years
earlier and have since been in sue
cessful operation. With the compile

New England and that part of tho
country south and southwest of the
Hudson will be in actual physical

Mayor Grace did not live long
enough TO look at this now almost
completed bridge, but there were
many times when he spoke of it as

tion in such manner as the great
Brooklyn Bridge was seen complete

Recent disclosures demonstrate that despite our

To make the matter clear to the layman it may
be stated that when is submitted to the tuber-

of Health. 1t is needless to add that all which
the test shows to be tuberculous excluded from

Some time ago. and quite accidentally, Newark
inspector discovered that the numbers of the tags
and the description of the to which they were
affixed in of barns did correspond with
the veterinarians returns from that barn. Further
inspection under the leadership of Dr. Isaac H. Shaw
able veterinarian of the State Board of Health has
revealed that the state of affairs exists in other
barns The inference is strong that the evil is wide

The fact that bears the wrong tag does not
