Mountain Clinbin-.
A member of the Swl-u Alpine soci
ety has written a report." in which he
points out that mountain climbing Is
really 'ona of the safest of sports, and
t.at accidents are usually due to lg
torance or carelessness. During 1903
twenty-six climbers were killed nnd
twenty-three Injured. Seven lost their
lives owing to unexpected changes in
tbe weather; of the others, seventeen
came to grief because they had re
fused to engage guides.
LEPROSY IS

Appointed Chief Assistant. -
. Pat Cialvin, former roadniaster for
tho Illinois Central on the Ixniis'villo
division, has Just been appointed chief
assistant in the, engineers s depart
ment of tho Panama canal commission
Hj was a special favorite of General
Manager J. F. Wallace, now the chief
engineer of the Panama, canal, and
It is urobable' that Mr. Wallace re-
eomirieded him for the position to
which he has beenn appointed.
- A!the.Westera and Southwestern
roads which were-affected by the high
water" In the late spring are making
arrangements to oVercome the trouble
In the future. The Missouri Pacific
has announced That the track of its
Joplto.diylsiQja, between Rich Hill and
Butler, In the Marias des Cygnes bot
toms of Mlssouri.wlll be raised five
feet above thenSresent grade. Water
ways will bo established in order that
surplus water may hereafter pass un

Railway Travel In Japan.
. When a native lady enter. a Japa
nese railway carriage she slips her
feet from her tiny shoes, stands upon
the seat, and then demurely sits with
hsr feet. 'doubled beneath her. A mo
ment later she lights a cigarette or
her little pipe, which holds Just
enough tobacco to produce two good
whiffs of smoke. All Japanese people
sit with their feet upon the seat of
tho car. When the ticket collector
attired In blue uniform enters tho
carriage he removes his cap and bows
twice politely. He repeats the bow
a.) he comes to each passenger to col
lect the tickets.
Beginning today a deci led Improve
ment will be made on the Louisville
division of the I. C. -
This is the repainting of all station .
gigns on the division. Mr. IV.' S. Shep
herd, of Chicago, who works for the
great Gunning system, will have
charge of thJ work. Every .tttition
has thenaaie lettered 'somewhere in
cl ar'vie'w of all passengers on the
trains, and some stations will havfc
new names and others the U1 one
retraced.
This improvement will cost the I. C.
quite a neat sum at an expert sign
wrir has been secured to. do the
work.. The clasn of lettering will be
'from that of the coach painters and
letterers, and therefore tho I. C. men
could not do the work.
Use of Block 'Signals.
The InferstateCeHimerce Commis
sion. -has called the attention of Ihe
presidents cf all the large railroads
systems to tha dilatory policy of the
companies In the installation of block
signals. Statistlci have been complied
showing that the proper operation of
tho block sysem reduces to a mini
mum the danger of collisions.
The American Railway association,
the momeJiership of which represents
nearly three quarters of the 200,000
miles of trackage in the United Stae
will be asked to take formal action
In the direction of extending the block
signals. At prei-ent the railroad mils
age in the United States protected by
block fcigntiVi aggregates le:i than
4.1,0(Mjt milt's not one-quarter of the
aggregate. At last accounts the South
ern railway operated nearly 6,0'i.t
mill's of t-ignals, which Is cmisi l
erably more than any other American
line can sh:jw. Next to the Sauthem
comes the Chicago, Mil wa'ikee & St.
Paul, with 4.;i0(t miles.
Car Shortage Threatened.
The railroads of Mississippi are now
making preparations for the handling
of the cotton crop cf the coming sea
son that will be harvested within thi
state, and although every olJ car i
I ?ing repaired and every new car o,
dcr that can possibly lie gotten out
is being rushed In-order that It 'mar
be tlse.I In the crop movement, stiM
tho railroad officials say that there
will net be enough Cars to hand) th
cotton speedily and . w ithout delay.
Tho cotton crop will be moved by th-3
roads with as much TapUlity as possi
ble, but railroad ma say they havn't
the cars they would like to have, and
should hava to haul the cotton. Of
course this year, a In the past, th?
railroads of the stat will make every
effort Mo transport the cotton w ith
speed to Its destination, to the mill
for manufacturtnre or to th" ports frr
shipment, but this will lie done at the

get the cotton to the comsigne and
off their hands as soon n possible,
for it is an article easily damged b

timate that from September, when the
cotton first liegln to 'move, to the

bandlo what is given them with all
ease, but from the first of December
to the middle of February, they will
