Growth and lpeno of the Auto mobile, and the ProMpccta of the 11) lug Machine. New York Commercial. Twelve yeara ago there were fewer automobiles in the United States than there are airships to-duy. In fact, there were then only five automobiles, all told, and those five were aa cer tainly wonder to a waiting people aa are me airanipa to-day. Not to push the analogy or to reason our selves Into any prophecies as to the early realization of the dreams of th Wright brothers, Santos-Dumont, Doctor Thomas and others, It may yet v be v permissible V to - note 1; that, while air navigation labor under the dlsedvantagos of a larger number of unknown factors, w such ' as little underatood air' currents and " novel atmospheric conditions, automoblllng, am an ousei : oosiacie to overcome. a. i a a . . . . . . " hhb nsu to meet me enormous , ex pense Involved in both'tho nurehflsa of automobiles themselves and their maintenance, A writer In the January Review of Reviews offlera some figures ttisf throw light on the cost' of mainte nance as taken from the' hills of ad automoblllst' With a single-cylinder, elght-horesepower runabout costing 1,3U0, operated by the owner so without the very common expense of a chauffeur It was found that the cost of maintenance from April to ixovemoer, auring which ten thousand miles were covered, was 2817.70: in cluded In this amount Were 150 for a year s liability. Insurance, $225 for depreciation In value of car, 145.50 imeresr. at s per cent, on the orlalnal coat and 1807.20-for seven months repairs, care and supplies. A tour ing car with its necessary chauffeur means much more expense. With a car costing $2,600 and a chauffeur at only twenty-live dollars a week, the season's expenses are figured ap proximately at $2,680. or more than the original cost of the car. Besides the chauffeur's $1,300, there are $300 for tires, $80 for gasoline, $76 for lubricants, carbide and so forth. $200 for mechanic's repairs and replace ment of parts, $100 for liability and fire Insurance, and $25 for deprecia tion In the value of the car. The Innumerable owners who have paid much higher prices for cars and "live up" to them will bring the average far and away above the cost and maintenance figures already pre sented. What signifies Is not, however, the expense Incurred in automoblllng, but the fact that, whatever this expense, there were twenty-five thousand new automobiles sold In this country in J fi6 twelve yeara from the time when five automobiles niled the pub lic demand and that It le estimated that fifty thousand machines will be sold In 1907. And, further, If the average paid for these vehicles shall be $1,200 each and It probably will not be less and the cost of mainte nance and depreciation be figured at a like sum. then we have an aufomo- oile expenditure for 1907 here In the I'nlted State of something like $l20.non,ooo. In twelve years from now shall we find Americans expending annually over u hundred million dollars on air navigation'.' Are there anv reasons why aeronautics should show less rapid progress in tangible results than automoblllng has? THANKS FIRE DEPARTMENT.

"An Open. tor" So-tests a flciluctloii of the Lours of Labor for Opera tors (iterator ; Miouhl l Re quired ! htnnd Examination and MkmiI.I Have Letter Wages, "An Operator" in Roanoite, ' Va., Times. Being an operator of some year' experience, I have been watching the investigation of tne disastrous wrecks, as far as shown by the pub lic press, wit n a great deal of inter est, and have decided to offer what In my humble judgment will remedy them to a great extent. .' 1 do not believe that tbV remedy that I wish to suggest will stop en tirely such, disastrous wrecks, which are (caused by the imperfections of humanity, but I do Delleve that these great wrecks and loss of human Uvea and property can be reduced by the proper regulation of the employes connected with the telegraph de partment, which" Is undoubtedly one of th most important departments of any railroad, be It -great (Or small. ' The telegraph operator In th small, dingy, by 8 office has long been considered -as a convenience rather than a necessity or an im portant factor in the safe movement of trains throughout our country. - The general public Is always near- Ing of the brave conductor w'ho ap plied his emergency orakes Just in time to prevent a dreadful wreck, or the brave, cool-headed engineer, who holds the lives of his hundreds of passengers in his hand as it rests on the throttle of his engine, and I have no desire to take one lota of credit front these brave men of thej throttle, Who are all that the public deems them to be. but I want to call attention to the long apprentice ship through which rney are re quired to serve In less responsible positions and the severe examinations they are required to pass through be fore being allowed to accept the re sponsible position, In comparison with that pertaining to the employment of telegraph operators, who are only required to stand very Insignificant examinations, and very often are employed knd "put to work in the handling of trains without knowing anything whatever In regard to their reliability. In view of these facts I want alao to remind yott of the terrible fre quency with which investigations fol lowing wrecks, wherein lives and property have been sacrificed, show that the blame rests on the tele grapher who has misconstrued or forgotten or an Improper signal has been given. Most engineers are brave men and he Is not an exception who will go down to horrible death rather than desert his post, but my dear airs, we would have the public awaken to the realization of the fact that his life as well as thnt of every pas senger on his train Is at the mercy of the telegrap'h operator who de livers his orders as sent from the dispatcher's office. Rear in mind the fact that these brave engineer are paid salaries of from S 150 to 1200 per month for be ing brave and attentive to their du ties, and have absolutely nothing to think about but the safety of the train and to observe the signals as given by the operator, who Is re ceiving a salary of rrom $40 to $50 a moi;th, with sometimes ten to fif teen different train orders on his table for delivery to as many dif ferent trains, and the proper ma nipulation of his signals to the proper trains and at the proper time, to gether with the many other duties of the telegrapher, all come together In a way vastly more confusing than anything the engineer has to contend with under ordinary conditions. In tnls particular case, no doubt, the operator has given his company years of valuable service, was a man trusted with Important and very re sponsible positions, but by reason of his long hours, burdened with the responsibility of a family with In adequate means of support, and with the monotonous twelve 'nours per day running through 365 days a year, I want to ask you is u any wonder that he would forget to de liver the order that sent this bravo engineer with his priceless cargo of human lives and thousands and thou sands of dollars worth of property to destruction? The remedy that I would suggest for such disasters Is a reduction of the hours of labor for operators handling trains, also require rail roads employing such men to em ploy only tjiose who are thoroughly competent and proficient at their profession, and pay them a wage scale sufficiently remunerative and commensurate with their responsi bility. The Ftate of Maryland has taken a step forward and has enacted an eight-hour law. which does not al low an operator Wfto Is connected with the handling of trains by tele graphic train orders to work more than eight hours a day. The opera tors want such a law, but we can not get It until the traveling public Is aroused to the realization of the Importance of the tolegrapher'a posi tion. Another remedy I would suggest would he the requirement of every operator who handles telegraphic train orders controlling the move ment of trains to stand an examina tion before a State board of ex aminers taken from among the best railroad operators, who are actually employed In the telegraph depart ment of one of the best manned roads In our country. This Is a question of vast Import ance to the traveling public and one that Is Just as Important to the safe handling of trains aa the proper equipment of every Invention of science.
