PUEL WASTE MOUNTS HIGH
Chicago Nov 30 American

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 Michigan New Hamp
shire Ehode Island and Pennsylvania
arejltlHed while special wage
reportges U Wisconsin and Illinois
are included
