LONG HOURS A RARITY.
Only Once In Five Years Does Average
Trainman Exceed Legal Limit.


That long hours In train service have
been reduced to a minimum is shown
by a report issued by the Interstate
Commerce Commission. Only one en-
ploye in five on the average last year
was compelled to remain on duty more
than sixteen hours during any one day
in the whole year. Stated in another
way, the chance Of an engineman or
trainman remaining on duty beyond
this prescribed limit was reduced to
once in Eve years.
The total number of cases OF excess
service from all causes reported to the
commission was only 61.247 during the
year ending June 80, 1915. as COM
pared with 1877. 430 In 1914 and 270.s27
In 1918. and with rare exceptions these
represented cases recognized as due to
unavoidable causes.
Statistics on this subject are collected
by the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion under the national hours-of-service
law. Every time a train is so de
layed by a blizzard, washout or 9th

crew is on duty longer than sixteen

ployes concerned and full statement
OF the cause for the excess service.
For several years the railroads and
the Interstate Commerce Commission
have been cooperating IN efforts TO
prevent the Keeping Of employees on
duty for lcns periods. The reduction
Of nearly 50 per cent. in such cases
which has been brought about In three
years shows that the working OF men
for long stretches OF continuous service
has practically disappeared except In
rare cases Of unavoidable delay.

tidings reached the metropolis that
the Pretender Bonnie Prince Charhe
had reached Derbys with his forces.
'Iondoners Immediately made prepar-

casion that the Bank of London had

citizens were anxious to take their
money with them in their flight, ana
the Bank of England was beseged

crisis the bank escaped bankruptcy
only by the expedients Of placing
Dummies in the line to impede
genuine depositors, and by paying
bona fide depositors in small coins.
The first ''Black Friday OF latter

half a century ago, and was due to
the failure Of one Of London's largest
banking houses. = Three years later

Miniature Submarine.

Last April Professor Parker APP
piled for patents covering inventions
embodied in submarine, to be thir-
ty or forty feet long, to carry one
torpedo. a crew of two men. and to
be propelled through the water by
a gasoline motor at the rate of forty
miles an hour.
The idea of running a submarine
under water with a gasoline motor
Is feasible, and has already been
done. IN the earlier days of sub
marine construction Simon LAKE
equipped a number of his boats with
gasoline motors. but finally ahan-
doned them for underwater work in
favor Of the storage cell Most of
the boats in which gasoline engines
we're used We're equipped so that,
while submerged. air was drawn
into the engine through tubes
or pipes which stuck out of the
water like periscopes. Automatic
valves were arranged so that the
tube could be quickly closed in case
the opening Of the pipe became sub
merged When the tube was closed
the engine could run for a short time
on the air contained in the boat. or
in compressed air bottle.
One great objection to Professor
Farkers plan Is that he admits the
probability of having TO use an en-
CINE which would develop about
3,000 horsepower. Conceding that
such q motor might be developed,
the amount Of air ii would consume
in a few minutes would be enormous.
and it IS doubtful If compressed air
could be carried in sufficient guam
titles in a boat of this kind to permit
of the engine running in case the
air pipe became submerged.
Another great difficulty is in dis
posing of the exhaust gases. When
the air intake pipe is running above
water, the exhaust gases may easily
be led out of the water through a
similar tube. II the boat were able
to run submerged, the exhaust gases
would cause a stream of bubbles
which would leave very noticea-
Bile wake ON the surface of the
water With this as a guide. it
would be an easy matter for a swift
