INDUSTRIAL ACCIDENTS.
The Large and Puzzling Part "Man
Failure" Plays In Them.


Close observers are not astounded Dy
the statement made at safety" meet
ing that 10 per cent only of Industrial
accidents are due to machine failures,
the remaining 80 per cent being wholly
chargeable to man failure
Students. however. will not be salts
fed with the simple statement, but will
want TO know something more, espe
cially as to conditions that contribute to
this appallingly large percentage charg-
ed directly to mans share in the fault.
1t will not do to say that in each In
able. Psychologists are no longer con-
tent with that explanation. but are 60
ing deeper into the causation of acct
dents. seeking to determine just why
the normal mental processes at times
break and the Interrupted coordination
between brain and body ends in disas-
fer.
In the matter of Interpreting railway
signals, for example, it has been set up
that registered impressions vary as to
individuals and that likewise indiyid-
uals react in different ways TO the i'm
presSiOns given.
Emergencies invariably arise in the
operations of modern industry similar
to those in the transportation service.

with mechanical accuracy, the human

Promoting the Establishment
OF This Valuable
Coll Work.

College Park. April 5.-TollowinE an
extended tour OF the State. Dr. A. G.
Mccall in charge of soil Investigations
at the Maryland Experiment Station
is arranging through county demon
stration agents for a number OF ex-
perimental fields throughout the State.
In this DR.. Mccall says:
THE Maryland Experiment Station,
through its Department OF Soils, is es-
tablishing a number Of experimental
fields in different sections Of the State.
Work is already in progress at Ridg-
Icy in Caroline County and at Leon
ardtown in st. Mary's County, and It
is expected that number OF add
tional fields will be established during
the coming season.
"For many years the Experiment Sta
ton has been making q study OF the
soils Of the station farms in Prince
George County, and tho object Of the
present movement is to extend this
work to include a study of the more
important soil areas Of the State. The
object of these Investigations IL to
secure, for the farmers Of the State.
definite knowledge In regard to: O
the plant-food requirements Of the
crops to be produced; (2) the total
stock of plant food contained in the
soil; (3) the best methods Of making
this stock of plant food elements avail-
able by practical farm methods; a.
the most practical methods Of supple
menting or increasing the plant food
supply in the soil; and finally (5) the
systems Of farming that will most
prohtably and permanently maintain
the productive capacity Of the soil.
Each experiment field will contain
10 to Is acres of land divided into
series which will correspond to the
different fields of farm. Each series
will be further divided into smaller
areas, and these treated in such a
manner as to obtain very definite in
formation in regard to the needs, OF
the particular soil Definite rotations
will be followed and the crops grown
will be those common to the locality
in which the field Is located.
The limited funds at the disposal Of
the Experiment Station makes 1t I'M
possible to establish experimental
fields in all of the counties or to work
on all of the different soils in any
county, but the work will be extended
as rapidly as the funds will permit.
Farmers or other business men who
are interested in this soil improvement
work should consult their County Az.

The daring and romantic exploits OF
the rowing commerce destroying cruis-

the deeds of u very brave and clever
officer who acted as a commerce de-
str0yer In the service Of the Confed-
eracy. Lieutenant Charles w. Read,
Aississippian in his early twenties,
who had been In the United States
navy, Joined the Confederate cruiser
Florida on Nov 4, 1862. while she lay
at Mobile undergoing repairs. Read
had already seen gunboat service in
the fighting at New Orleans.

and twenty men for the enterprise.
4 month later. Off the South Caro-
lima coast. the Clarence captured and
burned the bark Whistling Wind, from
Philadelphia to New Orleans with coal.
The next day it picked up the schooner
Alfred 81. Partridge. and Read put her
captain under 5000 bond to deliver
the cargo of arms and clothing to the
Confederates. On June 8 he took the
brig Mary Alvina. Boston to New Or
Jeans with commissary stores.
From his prisoners Read came to the
conclusion that an attempt to enter
Hampton Roads would meet with GER
tain failure, and he turned his atten-
fion entirely to destroying Federal
commerce. On June II, within eight
miles of Cape Henry, he made four
captures-the bark Tacony, the schoon-
ar II. A. Shindler, the schooner Kate
Stewart and the brig Arabella. Since
the Clarence was a poor sailer, the
young commander transferred his crew
and howitzer to the Tacony. The Clar-
onco and the NJ. A. Shindler he burned.
The Arabella he bonded for $4,000
and the Kate Stewart for $1,000 and

By that time there were. more than
twenty Federal vessels pursuing the
