While railroading by telephone seems
Like an innovation, it was really put
into serious use thirteen yore ago. It
was then adopted by the Terminal As-
sooiatiou at St. Louie. whie hin Iddd
erected a new Union station with
twenty -odd traoks running north and
south, all of which had to be available
for trains running east and west. Te
complicate matters all trains had to
back in, making it necessary to focus
all the tracks in the station et oue
point., from which a lumber of tracks
,curved east and west to meet the main
This arrangement required a complex
ayetem of switch movements to permit
a tole coining fort the east or west
to be switched to any • of the station
tracks. T.he hatelling of heavy traffic
offered many opportunities or mistakes
and delays in the passage of traina. The
telephone was not adopted until several
other plans had failed, stud then this
scheme, which is still in operation, was
tried.
Th.e man who directs the trains is
stationed in an interlocking switch•tow-
er just beyond the crossover. From his
desk he can see all the tracks entering
the station, and also all the East and
West Braila lines. He is connected -with
teleplioue lines extending along the
main lines for several miles in eithey
direction .and receives over these wires
reports of the movement of trains as
they enter or leave the yards.
These reports are made by switchmen
stationed at various points who control
the switches on the main line tracks.
By giving them instructions the tietia
director eau shift the outgoing or in-
eozeing trains at will before they have
reached or after they have left the ter-
minal.
he train director is • able to dear
the station tracks for incoming trains
in sufficient time to permit them to en-
ter without delay. He is connected with
the station master'a office, so that the
station master can be notified of the ar-
rival of trains when they are still some
distance avey and shift the station
force to take care of them.

train director over 700 trains n. day are

When the system of despatching
trains by telegraph goes out there will
be an end to an inetitution that: was
started in Bo. The use of the tele-
phone for the purpose has been ob-
jeeted to on the grouna that it is not
as se -Orate as the telegraph owing to the
eimithrity of sounds of different words,
letters and figures. The adoption of
the telephone et this Hine is indication
that this trouble has been overcome.
One road that has been using the tele-
phone for years is the Lake Erie, Atli -

to go to the telephone, one to receive the

received the man who writes it from the

while the man who- Teeeived it must

this way giving cheek on the order and.

The New York Central has bacl n. line
in operation between Albany and Fonda,
distnace of forty miles, since October,
1907, and it has never been necessary to
resort to the telepraph service in this

trouble. Special signalling deviees are
used on this line which permit the des-
patcher at Albany to call one itation
without calling the other, or while talk-

interrupting the conversation. •

Why the Train Stopped.
I remember being once in an out -01 -

from which the train service) was of
the most primitive character. '..ehe
distance from the nearest main -line
town was only some twelve or fifteen
miles, but "the local express" took the
better part of two hours to cover, it,
stopping leisurely at some half-dOzen
stations en route, and even then mak-
ing a prolonged stay when the driver
or fireman got "on the chaff" with
the stationmaster or other official. On
the occasion of my visit to — I was
rather anxious when the time came
to leave to cateh the South -going train
at the junction, and as we crawled
along Ie began to be very dubious
about doing so, At last I asked a
fellow -traveller if the train in which
we were seated was booked to catch
the connection I wanted.
"Oh eye," he plied, in the broad

train stopped, with a sort of sleet**

about ten minutee I got up and even-

down, and there was no sign of any

walked forward to the engine. The

for?"
"Oh, (Lye," he plied, in the broad

have this point in commou-they should
be something more than mere ewater,
They should not bo greasy, . because
greasy broth does not agree with a de-
licate stainech. They should be served
hot, but the dish that it is put in
should be hot, and a hot cover on the
dish, and. then all haste to get it to the
patient.
CHICKEN BROTH.
Chicken broth usually has the pre-
ference. An old fowl eontaius more
juice than a young one. One medium-
sized hen sltould make a (part of good
broth. Singe and wash the fowl. I know
nem, intelligent people who will put
thee hicken in a pan of water, soak out
all the juice that will come out, then
throw it away. The juice is what you
want in the broth.
Out the fowl in rather malt pieces;
thop the bones, as they contain gelatin.
Scald the feet and legs and remove the
skin and put them in. There is gelatin
in them also,' Cover with old water
and let soak one hour. Then boil slow -
ler a half-day. The chicken should be
cooked till it fiats from the bones.
Strain through a fine, straieer or a
coarse cheese -cloth. Press the chicken
down till you are sure you have all the'
juice. If you have more than a quart,
boil it dowu.
Put it in a cool place. Tbe fat will
rise to the top, aud the broth will be-
come thiok like jelly. The fat can eas-
ily • be skininsed off.
Now this broth ean be kept several
days, and each time it is served season
It differently. For plain broth put salt
in'but no pepper. Sick people should
uot have pepper.
Alweys taste it fleet to see if it is all
right.
A teaspoon of -rice boiled till it is very
soft, may be added. If the patient likes
onion flavor, use a very little anion
juice, which may be obtained by press-
ing theeoniou ou a grater with a ro-
tary motion.
This broth may be alternated with
beef broth mutton broth or veal broth.
Beef broth has more taste and the pat-
ient gets tired of it more quickly.
BEEP BROTH.
One pound of lean beef makes 1 pint
of broth.. Have it, chopped very fine,
soak it 1 hour in 1 pint of cold water.
This broth should never be boiled, as
it coagulates the albumin, which will
then be strained out, leaving the broth
with no more nourishment than a cup
of hot salted Water.
Put the pan of beef and water in ans
other pan ,of water over the fire, Stir
coastantly till the broth becomes dark
eed or elm:elate color. Strain through a
coarse strainer, pressing the beef down
with a spoon to get all the juice out.
When the btoth is reheated., put it in
a pan of water, being eareful not to
boil it. You can tell when it is cooked
too much, as it becomes clear. Season
It with salt.
Mutton' and veal broths are niade the
sante as chicken. Remove the fat from
the mutton, as it gives au unpleasatt
taste to the broth. They phould boil

SUICIDE BY LAW.
(The Economic's Society.)
A. little more than a year ago we
drew attention to this subject, erne
text wee; then drown front the spolia-
tion of those enterprising persons in
and out of Canada- who, resting belief
,onperblic faith and legislative honesty,
4:vying1y invested many millions in the
comparatively new project of hydro-
electric power development and trans-
mission, Tbat what we then said might
'be expected has really occurred and in
now history. Capital has become ohary

of those svho•had invested had proved
to be a very real form of provincial sui-

So that to -day a text may be taken
from the Ottawa Citizen of the 5th in-
stante-tha,n, •which. the Ontario Govern-
ment has no stauncher supporter. It is
as follows:
"There are several people iu Canada
who think it is not in the interest of
this Doininion that our Goverement
should get busy nacorpovating compan-
ies for Boni, Mexico and Taideactoo
in order to entice Canadian capital
away from home. The mere existence
of these companies with their large list
of Canadian shareholders is it back-
handed advertisement for the oppor.
tunities for the investment of foreign
capital in Canada. The shrewd British
iuvestor'for hue:twee, is not slow to
remark that if Canada is such a gilt-
edged field for British itivestment, it is
a -wonder that our home capitalists, who'
outdo their money out of Canada by the
way, should. find it necessary to go to
Brazil or Timbuctod to reinvest it.'
It is hardly necessary to preach an
•••••••••••
sermon front this text, for it is text
and sermon in one.
Capital naturally goes where et con-
ceives it can do best, and has surely
the right to do so. It would indeed be
in keeping for a legislature that has by
its legislation destroyed confideinain a
province, and consequently driven the
people of that province to seek abroad
such security of investments as they
have been deprived of at home to try
to frame other legislation to compel
them to invest in the midst of the in-
security it has created. ,This would be
