railroads lose 50000000 AAWiith o J fuel a year and consume 200000 000 AAorth of coal to secure 80 000000 Avorth of efficiency a further Avaste of 120000000 of fuel according to figures pre pared by Chief Engineer L E Fitch of the Chicago Great Wesi ern railroad That road conduct ed an investigation by istelf fol lowing the charge by Louis Bran deas that railroads AAasted 1000 000 a day in inefficient serAdee and Mr Fitchs report is one re sult The remedy suggested is a fuel bureau of experts improved fir ing devices on locomotives and a school for firemen more scientific ordering of locomotiAres for serv ice and closer AAratch on exposed coal yards Each loss of 1 per cent in fuel in American railroad busines means a loss of 2000000 says Mr Fitchs report Only 45 per cent of the coal used returns ef fective results remainder be ing Avasted This loss goes into bloAA n aff steam unburned gases locomotives that have bcn fired up too soon radiation from boilers lumps lost along the mad and taken frcm open coal yards ucjaknliifie handling of lo c motiv s and other Avastes The fuel bureau could begin by intelligent purchasing of high er grado coal could instruct fire men to perform their AA ork AA ith economy in ahcav could conduct tests for better heat insulation of boilers haAre call orders for en gines issued Avith mere regard for the length of time required to fire up and eould otherwise con sarve the fuel supply In ten years says the report American railroads have increas ed the cost of their fuel supply from 101926000 to 213828000 LIFE IS GROWING LONGER Present Rate of Increase Is Found to Be Greater Than Ever Before Life is not growing shorter but Dr O H Howe a Massachusetts physi cian finds that the worlds statistics indicate a steady lengthening for 350 years with a present rate of increase greater than eer before Records for Geneva show an average increase in the average age of all deaths from 212 years in the sixteenth century to 397 years in the nineteenth In Mas sachusetts life is now lengthening about fourteen years in a century the average lengtfi at the time being about forty five years in Europe the in crease per century is about seventeen years and in Prussia the land of medical discoAery and its application about twenty seven years In India Avhich has neglected medical science the life span has remained stationary at only about twenty five years The lengthening of life in Massachusetts has been promoted by the diminution of infant mortality ty the almost com plete disappearance of small pox and by the lessening of the mortality from scarlet fever and especially from diph theria to a small fraction of what it Avas a few years ago Continued study of disease germs of which the num ber has increased in twenty five years from only two to between twenty and thirty now known Avill further length en life Modern conditions however partially offset the beneficent work of medicine and Massachusetts statistics shoAV five times as many deaths from heart disease in 1895 as in 1850 with Brights dease and other kidney dis orders and cancer more than doubled WAGES IN UNITED STATES Large Proportion of American Work men Unable to Maintain Effi cient Standard of Living An estimate was made some time ago that a New York family consist ing of a man wife and three children under fourteen could maintain a nor mal standard of living on an annual income of 900 Then the question arose as to the number of families whose income equaled that sum Scott Nearing the economic writer of the University of Pennsylvania studied the question for many months and in a book Wages in the United States which was published recent ly he states the conclusion that a large proportion of American work men are unable to maintain an effi cient standard of living Three fourths of the adult men and nineteen twentieths of the adult women he says actually earn less than 600 a year or to give his conclusions more in detail one half of the men are earning less than 500 a year three fourths less than G00 nine tenths less than 800 while less than ten per cent receive more than that fig ure Of the women one fifth earn less than 200 annually and three flfths less than 325 while only one twentieth earn more than 600 To arrive at these figures Doctor Nearing takes up various state wage statistics Massachusetts New Jer sey Kansas
