ARGUMENTS AGAINST GREATER SPEED " ON RAILROADS. I The Limit Readied Is I OO Miles an Hoar. To Do Better Will Keq a Ire Larger Lo comotive Hollers, Bigger Wheel and Wider Tracks The Danger Is Great. i i ' ' "My opinion is that the speed limit of the locomotive engine has been reached with the present gauge of track and diameter of driving wheel," said Expert Watkins at the National trusenm. "1 have been given to understand on very credible authority that an engine on one road has already made a record of 100 miles an hour of course over a very short distance of perfectly straight and level track. A "If that is to be beaten it will only be done by increasing the size pf the boiler, to begin with. To get a greater capacity of boiler it will b? necessary to widen the locomotive and therefore the track. If a speed of anything like 120 miles an hour is to be obtained in the future the track must be widened, not by inches but by feet, and the sizi? of the driving wheel proportionately. i . "Naturally the quest?.-.? of safety is the 5rst one brought up iu connection with a discussion of this subject, and it is asked. , Can trains b? run with as much security to life and! Iirab at 150 miles an hour a3 at fifty? My answer to this is: No. Take a given stretch of j track, in pei-fect condition, with nothing in the way. and a train is more likely to run oil the rail when gtng at 150 miles an nour than when traveling at sixty. Cut inch ideal conditions are not usually found in railroading. FACTS TO CONSIDER. "Yon must consider that there are such things as frogs and switches which get out of order or misplaced, as well as a multitude of other things more difficult to look ou'-tfor the more rapidly trains are going Most important to : think of, too. is the Tact that if an accident does occur the train that meets with it is oing to suffer iu proportion to the speed at which it is going at the moment of interruption. Two trains each going it the rate of 120 miles an hour and coming into collision would quickly be reduced to kindling wood, if not to tooth picks. 1 j "Another thing worth imnr!ring about is the number of men that are going to !e required to run one of these engines of the future that are to travel 1120 miles un hour. Jump on board one of the fast flying locomotives at Jersey City that carries j'ou to Philadelphia at the rate of nearly a mile a minute. Do nothing but watch the signals as you pass with lightning speed through city after city at grade and cross railway after railway intercepting. You will find that it takes about all your time to catch them. -'How much leisure has the engineer, then, to look after his steam gauge ad water gauge, to see tp his airbreak, to aiake sure that every part of his mighty machine is in order, to keep J in touch with the train dispatcher's office and to identify any extra trains as they pass him o that no mistake shall be made? So tremendous is the strain upon this man's nerves that as a measure of economy the company only permits him to work four lays each week, and he spends the re maining three in resting and bracing up for further contests with space! and time. PERCENTAGE OF DEATIIS. 'Trains in England, on an average, run faster than in this country. Their cars or carriages are not nearly so heavy as ours; they have not nearly so many heavy grades and sharp curves, and the taw gives the railway exclusive rights over their tracksj the infringement of which is punished by fines and imprison ment. In England one person out of every 5,250,000 carried is killed. To ride on the railway in France is more than twice as dangerous, inasmuch as one out of every 2,000,000 passengers is killed. Belgium is much safer than England in this respect: only one out of every 9,000,- 000 is killed on its roads. Safest of all by far are the railwasof Prussia, which only" kill one out of every 21,500,000 people carried. "There are many advocates in favor of making our railroad cars much lighter, the argument being that it is absurd to draor a whole row of horiRfs ovpr fh rails; in order to transport a lot of com paratively light packages in the shape of people. But it is very certain that heavy cars have the advantage to safety in pro portion to their weight. ou will notice that the passengers in' the heavily built parlor cars always get off with very much less damage m an accident than do the occupants of the ordinary cars, which are usually telescoped by the Pullman or Wagner coaches. "Extra heavy weight to draw means extra expense for the railway companies, but safety for the passengers they carrv means saving of monev in damages in these days. Of course you read in the newspapers about the running of Boyn ton's.bicycle engine at Brighton Beach at the rate of a mile in thirty-two seconds, or 112 miles an hour. That may give a no tion of the future of railroading as re gards speed, but 1 am not myself of the opinion that .the bicycle idea will work any revolution in the business of trans portation by rail.; Washington Star. Couldnt Repeat the Lord's Prayer. . There is a president in one of our Maine colleges, a bright, smart man, who made a rather peculiar statement in eonversation some time ago. He was talking about his inability to quote cor rectly, and said that, while i he had an excellent memory for ideas, sentences and phrases would easily slip By him. "Why. I do not know that I could re peat the Lord's prayer word for word," he asserted. No one would suspect such an admission from the worthy president to observe him in the pulpit Iewiston Journal. There are glaciers in the' Himalavaa which are from thirty to sixty miles in lengtn, ana tnere is one thirty-three miles long which is flanked on either side by two giant peaks over 27,000 feet jugn. , WE SHALL BE TO SERVE YOU MESSENGER WHEN YOU WANT ANY If the young men who call to see their girls these lorig winter evenings do not wish to be met on the steps witn the words: "Miss Laura is sick with a cold, and can't be seen," theyjiad bet ter keep them well supplied" with Dr Bull's Cough Syrup, It costs only 25 cents a bottle.
