have been p&ssSd 10 protect pssseh'
gers and employees. but practically no
effort has been made by the Legislature
10 protect and save the lives of people
who walk or loiter on the railroads.
While regulating bodies have been
very busy and have exhausted the
measures OF safety for passengers and
employees. they have ignored the nee
essary measures for the protection OF
the lives OF trespassers.
"The trespassers killed on the rail.
roads include many Of our best men
and many school children. a great eco
nomic loss to the country.
The railroads have done and are
doing all they can TO save the lives of
such persons. but cannot do more than
warn against trespassing and instruct
irainmen and engineers TO keep n
lookout and avoid injuring persons who
carelessly walk on the railroads. And
We cannot believe the employees will.
fully kill or injure any one.
Railroads are safe to ride upon, but
very dangerous to walk on.
Saving time often means losing life.
"A few minutes saved by walking
on n railroad may mean the loss OF
your life. Don't take chances. Think
what your life is worth to your family
and country and avoid the risk.
'Carelessness Is dreadful thing. II
destroys more lives than all the wars
Of the world.
1T is more deadly than bullets, and
has wrecked more homes than the
mightiest siege gun.

curved railroad tracks are its fayorite

ton that merits the best thought OF all
good men.
Some men who have studied the
question think a law prohibiting tres.
passing is the proper remedy. They
argue that such a law will cost nothing
TO try, and that II will save more lives.
If properly enforced, than all other
laws heretofore proposed TO force the
railroads to provide steel cars, install
block signals and separate grade cross.
ings, which II required at once would
bankrupt every railroad in the country
What do you think ought to be
done? Do you not think It your duty
TO try to save human life? win you
not discuss this all important question
with your neighsor and try TO arouse
the public to a realization Of the truth
in regard to railroad trespassing?
1T doesn't injure the railroad for a
man or child TO walk on It. but It does
endanger the life OF the man or child.
Trespassing on the railroads is oh
jeoted to because OF the danger to the
trespasser's life"

men and the costs to the roads in
judgments for all accidents and deaths
are figured in the operating expense

who buys railroad ticket. or who
pays o freight bill. bears a part of the
expense. Carrying the argument
little further and remembering that
every merchant figures his freight
bills into the price o! his wares, II Is
apparent that every man. woman and
child in the United states pays part
OF this waste caused by the failure OF
the people to observe proper warnings.

educational campaign along this line,

Biggest Man Eating
 Shark Is Captured ]
 Of Jersey Coast

HolmesviIle. N. J.. July 27.-When Capt. Jack Benson's crew of pound seiners came in to the station of the ship bottom fishery on Long Beach. five miles above Beach Haven, yester- day they lowed behind their motor
 boat 500 pound shark ten feet eight inches in length, the largest captured since the man-eaters from Southern waters began their raid on the New Jersey coast.
 Four other sharks were in the boat, two of them five Hooters and two four footers. All of them had been taken in the morning draw of the nets. The ship bottom fishermen had a highly exciting battle with their fero- cious game. The big shark. in par lticular tore around at great rate when drawn to the side of the, boat Capt repeatedly on the headl with a heavy iron bar, finally dazing it enough tc
 allow one of the hands to lassoo its tail. Then the line was made fast
 and the shark was lowed to shore
 tail first. Had the spunk not beer
 beaten out of it it probably could have pulled the boat out to sea.
 l All of the five sharks were of one variety, blue with large spots, entirel, strange to the Jersey coast. They have four rows of large teeth. The
 big fellow had an eighteen inch spread Of mouth and was thirty inches ir diameter at the thickest part of hi. body. He was shipped to Asbury
 Park for exhibition purposes.

BAKING POWDER.

Although baking powder is now
 used the world over. it was original 1y Yankee notions" and it is still used in much larger quantities in the
 United States and Canada than in
 other countries. The invention of modern commercial baking powder is usually attributed to Prof. Eben Nor ton Horsford, who was born at Mos- COW, N. Y., 98 years ago today. He became a civil engineer and chemist, and won wide fame in the latter science In 1847 he joined the Har- yard faculty and served with distinc- ton as Rumford professor of applied science for 16 years. He then retired to become the head of a chemical concern in Providence. and made a number of important chemical discov- cries in addition to popularizing bak- ing powder. That culinary article has come into general use only in the last half-century, but within a few years of its introduction in America it had almost entirely superseded the
