coming Industrial era that wilt ex
ceed any prevtoua period In the his
tory of the United States.
No leas 1* auch acUvtty apparent
than In the Southern states an the
railways of the South afford much
room for Improvement, and withont
delay. If they are to be equipped to
handle the volumlnoua amount of
freight and passenger traffic that
promise* to result In the Industrial
upbuilding that promises to come.
No other road In the world has
played So" prominent a part In the
history of railroads as has the Balti
more and Ohio. Under the regime
of "Bob" Garrett the road prospered
to a marked degree, but never tn his
wildest dreams did he ever expect
to see this magnificent system what
it Is today. The Baltimore and Ohio,
due to It* being first in the field, en
joys an exceptionally fine line of
territory that Is capable of supply
ing the road with unlimited amounts
of traffic. Today the management of
this road is wisely planning Innu
merable Improvements that wilt In
volve the expenditure of millions,
though at the present tlig| the road,
as many another, ts unable to exe
cute these plans for the reason of
much adverse legislation.
Only a short time ago this line
decided on an Improvement In the
construction of a 40-mlle belt around
the city of Baltimore and were op
posed by state legislation, though the
Maryland Court of Appeals has
cently decided that the law waa In
sufficient to hinder the railway
Its work.
The, new Union, station at ( Washing
ton, D. C.. which Is Jointly ow^ed by
the B, k O. and the , Pennsylvania
railroads Is so example,^ t|ie"pollcy
of'the, Baltimore and OJjlq jjf, today.
Th* greatest drawback of the
roads of the far South la the fact
that the majority of their tinea are
single track. Here la where millions
are being'spent, and It Is quite safe
to predict that ten years hence the
tingle track road will have disap
peared entirely from the main llftei
of all the big systems.
From the standpoint of dollars and
cents the Southern railway la lead
ing In' the' improvement of it* track-
i^e. It* equipment and Its rolling
stock'. The panic of the past year

THE UNTHINKING CROWD.
The psychology of "the crowd"
a subject tnat has often been din-
cussed, but never satisfactorily ex
plained. Why do men and women,
when gathered together In any con
siderable numbers, act as though
they were completely bereft of ream
qn, and common cupel I)jjyr Pitts
burg the other day a thousand, peo
ple were waiting at asubukbin sta
tion to take the train back to town,
^^he train approached those , in the
"rear began to push and shove to
wards the track In a feverish rush
to get aboard. As a consequence
several persons standing near the
edge of the platform were pushed
over upon the rail* In front of the
approaching locomotive. One young
man was ground to death under the
wheels before the eyes of the crowd,
lacludlng women, and several other
persons were more or less seriously
Injured.
There was no reason for the rush
to the train. There were seats enough
for everybody and the train * would
not have started until everybody waa
aboard. But the crowd simply acted
as other crowds do and started a
wild scramble. We may all see the
same thing any time at any place
where there la a crowd waiting to
move or to bo moved. We can see
It at the theater after the show, at
any railroad depot, at any resort
reached by the cars, at any mass
meeting, at any picnic or excursion.
The senseless rush la pretty nearly
universal. Taken aa Individuals, ev
ery person In the crowd would ac
knowledge the insane stupidity and
danger of the rush; and yet every
body rushes. In a mast, the Individ
uals appear to lose all sense of cau
tion. responsibility or regard for the
right* of othen. They seem to re
vert to that primal order In which
practically every movement meant
a fight, with no mercy to the weak.

LOSSES BY MARINE BORERS.
Marine wood borers, which attack
piling and other timber* In salt
water, are causing the engineer* In
charge ot the construction of marine
works on the Pacific Coast much
concern. They are particularly de
structive along th* coast from South
ern California to Alaska, and ship
pers are beginning to realize ta.t *
cheap preservative treatment for this
class of material would secure n big
saving. On the average, an untreat,
ed pile lasts In these waters not more
than three years.
A great deal of time and money hat
been spent by individuals and corpor
ations In the effort to prolong the
life ot these timbers. Different
styles of pile casings, made of cop
per. sine, cement, and other materi
als, have been constructed and pat
ented, and at the present time plies
thus encased are under observation
tn many localities. Results wHl be
watched with great Interest.
In addition, a great deal of work
has been done In developing a pre
servative treatment to prevent the
attack of the borers. This consists
In Impregnating the pile with creo
sote or dead oil of coal tar. When
the plies are open-grained, and the
oil has been of n proper quality and
has been correctly Injected, this plan
has probably given the beat results,
It Is true that a great many piles
treated with creosote have been at
tacked by marine borers and destroy
ed, but In suoh canes there la usu
ally a good reason to account ftfr
the failure. For Instance, the use of
timber of auch density that the pre
servative cannot be forced into It,
the use ot green timber, the lack of
sufficient preservative, or the uae of
a preservative of Inferior grade may
prevent the treatment from being
completely successful.
Along the Pacific Coast, particu
larly In California, large quantities
of yellow pine are found. 'This-Um
ber embodies all of -the characteris
tics of a good pile timber, with the
one exception of durab llty. Western
yellow pine la opengrained, and lenda
Itself readily to a successful preserv
ative treatment with creosote. There
13 no good reason, therefore, .why
this timber should not be Used to re
place Douglas fir wherever the /al
low pine can be obtained at a reason
able cost. Details of the work of
the Forest Service along this and.
similar lines can be obtained on
quest from the Forester, at Wash

EASEMENT

FOR I
MIND.
The editor of the Quitman Adver
tiser (whose name does not appear
In that publication) takes advantage
of a visit to that city ot the Demo
cratic nominee for Governor of Geo»
gla to say some very Mtter things
about Mr. Brown and some of his
supporters In the primary. He print*
an alleged affidavit made by one H
B. Buttles, or Suttler, charging that
another, J. E. Bodenhamer, had told
him (Suttles, or Suttler,) that h*
(Bodenhamer) was present and par
ticipated In a deal wherein It was
agreed that "the Joe Brown crowd
was to deliver to Thomas E. ^Vat-
son the electoral vote of Georgia, tt
Thomas E. Wataon would support J.
M. Brown In the gubernatorial cam
paign," To clinch the conspiracy,
the Quitman Advertiser then pro
ceeds to say that, this man Boden
hamer Is “Pendleton's man" and that
he la "the Atlanta representative of
The Telegraph Publishing Company."
There are three facta which we
here relate that will throw light on
this story and ought to ease the mind
