Duster Hint
Feather dusters as a rule are objec

cause so few people seem to know
how and when they should be used
For general dusting they are worse
than useless like many serviceable
articles they may be made nuisances
by misuse but every house needs one
large feather duster with a long han
dle for cornices and pictures hanging
too high to be reached with a cloth
And this duster needs washing regu
larly and drying in the open air if it
is to serve its purpose and become a
dust disseminator

EXPLANATION OF CASUALTIES
ON RAILROADS
High Official Tells of Safeguards That
Have Been Thrown Around
Passengers and Employes
Can Do No More
Many famous wars have been
fought with less loss of life and fewer
casualties than
flips
are recorded every
year In the opera
tion of American
railroads The
soldier at the
front again only
faces death for a
day or an hour at
a time while he
enjoys long peri
ods of safety The
railroad employe
on the other hand
and in a measure
the passenger as
well faces a con
stant danger The
astonishing death
rate of our rail
roads is frequent
ly compared unfa
vorably with that of European coun
tries and has been explained by
many conflicting theories
A new light has been thrown on the
situation by W L Park general
superintendent of the Union Pacific
railroad whose views naturally carry
unusual weight
One human being is killed every
hour and one injured every ten min
utes said Mr Park in explaining the
situation There is a steady grinding
and crunching of human flesh and
bone under the juggernaut of modern
car wheels It is the price we pay
for progress for our great industrial
conquest of the country
- Our railroads nevertheless con
stitute to day the safest and most mag
nificent highway in the world No
where are the great problems of safe
guarding life and property being
studied so intelligently and earnestly
as in America
It is a common reproach that they
do these things better abroad But
consider at what a rate we have been
building railroads In 1830 there were
but 23 miles of railroads In America
In 1850 there were less than 10000
miles The next 50 years witnessed
the most marvelous growth of its
kind in all history when 185000 miles
of railroad were laid Then between
1SS0 and 1890 some 70000 more miles
were added
We have not yet slowed down
enough to realize what is best for
safety A careful investigation of the
subject shows that 85 per cent of all
accidents are due to negligence on the
part of railroad employes and the re
sult of carelessness both by passen
gers and employes Faulty equipment
therefore plays a far less important
part in this death and accident rate
than is commonly supposed Never
theless the railroads are attacking
this problem with surprising energy
The principal causes of accidents so
far as the regular equipment is con
cerned were given by Mr Park in the
following order
To lessen the death rate said Mr
Park it is important that we have
light grades and that all curves should
be avoided Valley lines should be
built above the high water mark Em
bankments should be of liberal width
and all tracks should be properly bal
lasted Bridges and openings in em
bankments should be of a permanent
nature The view of the tracks at sta
tions should be kept open If a sta
tion stands on a curve it should be
on the outside Buildings such as
pumphouses or water tanks should be
set well back All fences should be
permanent preferably of concrete con
struction There should be no grade
crossings and no crossing of tracks at
grade
The number of- safety devices in
actual operation on our railroads will
come as a surprise to the average lay
man
Our lives are safeguarded to day
by electrical devices which would
have seemed magical to the railroad
man of a generation since Mr Park
continued There is the electrically
locked switch the interlocking of
crossings and junctions the alarm
bell at railroad crossings the auto
matic washout and landslide warn
ings the telephone train dispatching
and many other automatic electric sig
nals all of which are being installed
rapidly The total mileage of auto
matic signals on all railroads in the
United States on January 1 1909 was
12190
Stockholders Point of View
Railroad people do not so much
dread strikes as they dread the effect
upon net earnings of granting merely
such demands for higher pay as they
privately believe to be reasonable
Their last experience with wage in
creases was practically awkward
Late in 1907 and early in 1908 when
the higher schedules began to go into
effect gross earnings began to van
ish and between the increase of out
go and the diminished income the
results on income statements were
heartbreaking New York Evening

Youve got all the change youre

See here exclaimed the Irishman

Russian Wheat Production
An enormous crop of wheat has
been grown in Russia this year plac
ing that land for the first time at the
head of wheat growing countries Its
harvest of 7S3000000 bushels exceeds
that of the United States by 26000000
bushels and is greater than its own
previous record by about 100000000
bushels The development of wheat
growing has been most rapid along
the line of the Trans Siberian railway
As th home consumption is small in
proportion to population this has
made Russia one of the great sources
of supply for tho rest of the world
France consumes much of the wheat
that it grows The present price of
wheat in the United States when
placed against the surplus product of
Russia makes it more difficult for this
country to hold its place as an ex
porter of that cereal
