    TIIE MAN IN TIIE CAB.
A VIEW AT CLOSE RANGE OF THE
MEN WHO GUIDE TRAINS.
Tlifl Cab What It Means J the Ameri
can Engineer, Thonfih Ills English
Itrolher Illiles In the Open Air The
TOitstls end Its linllvliluslltr.
The average American engineer atul
his fireman would think themselves very
ill used if an order were issued for the
abolishment of the cabs that friendly
retreat from inclement weather that is
now considered an nbsoltite necessity on
all enmnes. Ana ret in ciriluM Eiir
land, on a majority of ilie railroads, the
engines in use are bunt minus the cab,
thus forcing the operators to work with
out shelter in all kinds of weather. It
sounds inhuman, and yet in refutation
the railroad companies ask whether the
soldier should carry an umbrella when
it rains or the sailor be allowed to work
under an awning? The claim is that the
railroad employees become inured to se
vere weather and the absence of cover
ing keeps them alert, so that the possi
bility of danger from inattention to
duty is reduced to a minimum. Subtle
argument, perhaps, but hardly tenable.
If this practice was adopted on some of
ourwesternroadswherethe temperature
ranges from 20 to CO degs. below zero,
how many engineers would live to carry
their trains from one station to the next?
Tho unpardonable sin in an engineer
is to lot the water get out of tho boiler
of the engine in his charge, No matter
what excuse ho may offer, if ho lives to
make his report in turn, hit dismissal
will be peremptory, for by this action
he has proved himself incompetent and
unworthy of future responsibilities. It
is better for an engineer that ho had
never been born when he reaches this
stage of self tortnre. Fortunately such
cases are rare. The man on all well
conducted railroads must have shown
himself to bo trusty and true beforo ho
is given chargo of an engine, and tho
rigid inspection to which he is sub
jected before an engagement is a guar
antee of futuro conduct.
One weaknoss nearly every engineer
has, and that is a penchant for "doctor
ing" the steam whistle on his pet engine.
Every boy in a country town familiar
izes himself nt an early ago with the
different "toots" that by day and night
wail through tho unhnpny village Ho
can detect No. 4's whist lo when the train
is five miles distant, and in like manner
the approach of Nos. 1 and 2 are herald
ed to his keen eat. Of course all whis
tles are aliko when they leave the shops,
but the engineer fills in the sounding
bell with n piece of turned wood that
fits snug and changes the tone to nMiort,
Bharp scream or an nngry, impatient
howl, as his fancy may dictate.
The close observer may lio snugly in
his bed and yet be able to detect the
passing of either n freight or passenger
train. The ongiuo on tho former an
nounces its approach by emitting a
sharp, shrill scream that is soul piercing
enough to. wakeu tho dead, while tho
passenger engine, with duo respect ti
the living freight it carries, sounds a
long, deep warning note that does nut
bring tho occupant of a berth to his feet
"all standing." ready to curso the cum
pany in general terms and tho engineer
in particular ones for such an act of
folly and inconsideratenuss. On tho
freight train a sharp, shrillscream is es
sential, for it not I lies tho brakenieniwho
are perhaps forty cars In the rear of tho
engine and separated from the occupants
of the cab by many ways of ear pierciug
sound, just what work is required at
tneir nanus.
This whistle is to them what tho en
of the call boy on tho Thames steamboat
used to bo to the engineer down below
beforo ihe advent of electric bells.
"Ease her!'' tho captain would remark
in his ordinary touo of conversation to
the small boy that followed him like a
shadow, and "Ease herl" the youngster
would scream in Ins sharp, shrill stac
cato down tho Tompauionway. "Stop
'err "Turn 'er astern!' "Uo aheadl
would perhaps follow in rapid succes
sion, and in this decidedly crude fashion
the London steamboat captains did their
steering by proxy only n dozen years
ago. One wonders what has become of
those call boys. Perhaps they spend
their hours in spinning yams to tho
younger cockneys of tho past glories of
eteamboating in much tho same manner
that our dethroned stage drivers of tho
west now regalo tho tenderfoot with
glimpses of bygone acts of heroism and
feats of impossible horsemanship. This
is somewhat of a digression from the
topio under discussion, but perhaps tho
reader will excuse its insertion. Ono
thought naturally suggested the other.
As a class engineers are usually good
natured, kind hearted, though a bit
rough; deep thinkers, duo to their ilxed
habits of attention and long hours of
enforced silence, and of good morals.

long ago in a railroad terminus on

"What makes some men the soul of
honor?" asked the story teller. " Every
one of us has hail some experience in
life to prove to us that there are men of
unimpeachablo honor. I think the
most honorable gentleman whom I ever
met was a man of alisolutely infernal
luck, I first saw htm in n f roniler town.
He had been a cowlioy, but he had got

misshapen and weak, and eyes that were
nearly blind. He seemed to lie jnst
clinging to life in that little Colorado
town, doing what little he could in bar
rooms or going slow errands, until fate
should be kind enough to take him
away from his misery.
He stopped me in the street ono mgni.
'Will yon lend me ten dollars? he
said roughly. 'I am In a bad way and I
need it.'
"Now ten dollars was a good deal of
money to me nt that minute, for in my
western experience 1 had my tips and
downs, and at that time I wns having my
downs.'

the fellow looked so bad that I wanted
to do something for him, hnt I knew
that I should never see my lfioney again,
No.' he said doggedly, 'it won t. I
want to go to Denver. I am about crazy
with tniii and 1 want to get mere ami

many men in that little town who were
iu the same predicament.)
But I can t spare ten Hollars, I an
swered. 'I need it,'
You don t need it so much rrt I do,
he snid fiercely. 'Lend ittonie. I'll
ixiv it lack to you. Olve mo your name
and address. I'll find you if I live.'
Well. I gave him the ten dollars. 1
told him that he need not worry about
lmying it lntck. I expected to get out of
my troubles somo day and then 1 should
not feel tho need of it.
No,' he said. 'I won't touch it cm
nnv other condition. 1 want to pay
it back with interest 18 ier cent, n

out there.)
So I wrote out my name lor lum,
giving him as my permanent address the
homo of my family in the east. The
next day he went to Denver. (Shortly
afterward I climbed into n saddle and
rodo away to 'punch cows.' I punched
them with varying success nil over tho
Colorado grazing fields for nine years.
Having had enough of cattle raising by
that time and my ideas of great fortunes
having been considerably modified, I
sold out my cattle and came lmck.
Of course, after tho first few months
following my loan of ten dollars to tho
cripple, ho never came into my thoughts,
though there were times when that ten

from tho cripple. In it was n postofiico

it for twelve years, at 1 percent, ft month.
There was no- word iu tho letter except
tlianks for my kindness and tho nssur

"I call that man n gentleman and I
told him so when 1 wrote him, and I
also told him something in the letter

on that day I had iiiado the lirot bank

and when a loaded car comes to climb
tho steep grade voluntarily lakes her

half a milo to Icockwell street. At
that puint the driver relieves tho hill

Ono of the theories uf tho age was that
the devil set his mark upon each of his
servants that witches were all marked.
A jury of tho box of tiio accused was ap
pointed to examine the body for bucIi
marks. It oiten happened that somo ex
crescence of ilesli common to old people,
or uuu explainable by uaturhicntifcee, was
omul. One such was found on the body
of (ioi)ily Nurse and reported to the
court, all but one of Ihe jury agreeing to
thHifiiort. Kibocca iTtston and Mary
Tarbeil knewthat the mark was from
natunl cause-1. The prisoner stated to
the court that the dissenting woinau of
the jury of examination was one of the
most ancient, teillful and prudent, and
further declared, "I there rendered a
sufficient known reason ot the moving
cause thereof." She asked for the ap
pointment of anuther jury to inquire
into the en! and examine tho marks
found uu her liersou.
The jury uf trials returned a verdict
of nut guilty. Tliereuiiuu all the nc
cuners in court "cried out" with renew ed
Vigor and were taken iu the most vio
lent fits, rolling and tumbling about.
creating n scene of the wildest confusion.
The judge told the jurymen that thuy
liad not carefully considered one ex
pression of the prisoner, namely, that
when one Hobbs, a confessing witch,
was brought in as evidence against her
she said: "What, do you bring her? She
is one of us. The jury retired for fur
ther consultation, liven then they could
not agree uiwu a verdict of guilt)'.
They It-turned to the courtroom and de
sired tlutt the accused explain the re

The Heeret nf tlit Sun. Host.
It aeeins to lie worth whilo to collect
together what truly bo said on tho sub
ject of the duration of life on tho glolie.
It ii a noteworthy fact that the possi
bfllty of the continued existence of the
brtinair race depends fondamentally
apon the qnestion of heat. If boat, or
whnt Is emnlralent to hent, docs not
last., then man cannot last, either. There
is no shirking this plain trnlnm.
Of conno it is obvious that the avail
able heat generally comes from tho Bnn.
So far as tho coal goes, we have already
observed that as it is limited to quantity
it can afford no pcrennbil supply.
Doubtless there is in tho earth some
quantity of other materials capablo of
oxidation or of undergoing other chemi
cal change, In tho course of Which and
as an incident of snch change heat is
evolved. The amonnt of heat that can
possibly arise from snch srmrcos Is
strictly limited. There Is in tho entire
earth jnst n certain number of units of
heat possible from snch combinations.
but after the combination has been ef
fected there cannot lie any morn heat
from tins source.
Then as to the internal heat of the
earth due to tlie iiicaudescent state of
its interior. Here there Is no doubt a
large store of energy, but still it is of
limited quantity, nnd it is also on tho
wane. This heat is occasionally copious
ly libers ted by volcanoes, hnt ordinarily
the transit of heat from tho interior to
the surfaco and its discharge from
thence by radiation is a slow process.
It is, however, sufficient fur our present
purpose to oliserve that slow though the
escape may be, it is Incessantly goinir
on. There is only a definite number of
units of heat contained ill tlie interior ot
the earth at this moment, and as they
aro gradually diminishing, and as there
is no source from whence the loss can
be replenished, there is here liomtpply
of warmth that can bo relied on perma
nently. It goes without saying that tlie wel
fare of the human race is necessarily
connected with tlie continuance ot the
Hill's beneficent action. If the sun ever
ceases to shine, then must it lie certain
that thero is a term lwyond which hu
man existence, or indeed organic ex
isteuco of any type whatever, cannot
any longer enduro on earth.
iliit wo havo ground for knowing as
a certainty that the buii cannot escape
from tho destiny that sooner or later
overtakes tlie spendthrift. In his inter
esting studies of tills subject I'refessW
Langley gives n striking illustration of
the rato at which tho solar heat is lieing
squandered at this moweut. lie remarks
that tlie great coal fields uf Pennsylvania
jontain enough of Ilie precious mineral
to supply the wants of tho United States
Cor J. 000 yours. If all that tremendous
accumulation of fuel were to be extract
ed nud burned in one vast conflagration
the total qn intity of heat that would be
produced v..ulil no doubt liestniienilous.
aud yel. ::iw this authority who has
taught tH 1 o much nlsmt the sun, allthe
licat develop d by that terrific coal fire
would not Im cqunl to that which tlie
sun pours foith iu the thousandth part
of each Bin:;!e Fecond.
When wo i ellect that thia expenditure
of heat has been going ou not alono for
tho centuries during which the enrth
has been the abodo uf man, but also for
thoso periods which we cannot estimate
except by saying that Ihey tire doubtless
millions of years during which thero
has been lifo ou tho globe, then indeed
wo begin to comprehend how vast must
havo been the capital of hent with which
tho sun started ou its career.
And yet wo feel ccrtnin that the inccs
sant radiation from the sun must bb
producing n profound effect on its stores
of energy. 1 ho only way of reconciliuir
thts Willi tho total absence of etideii.o
of tbo expected changes is to be found
Iu tlie supposition that such ii tho
mighty mass of the sun. such the pro
digious supply of heat, or what is cquiv'
nlent to heat that it contains, that tho
grand transformation through which it
is passing proceeds nt a rate so slow that
during the ages accessible to our obser
vations the results achieved have been
imperceptible. But the energy of tlie
system is as surely declining its tlie en
ergy of the clock declines as Ihe weight
runs dowu.
It seems that tlie sun lias already d.--sipated
about foiir-HftliB of the energy
with which it may have originally Ihihi
endowed. At nil events, it seems that,
radiating energy at its present rate, tho
sun may hold out for LllOO.OrtO years, or
for 5,0tiu,000 years, but not for lO.OOil,
000 years. Here, then, we discern in
the remote future a limit to the dura
tion of lifo ou tills glolie. We have seen
that it does not seem possible for any
other source of heat to lie available for
replenishing t.he waning stores of the
luminary. It may be that tho beat was
ofigiually imparted to tho sun as the
result of some great collision between
two bodies which were both daik liefure
the collision took place, so that, iu fait,
tho two dark masses coalesced into a
vast nebula from which Ilie whole of
oursysteni has been evolved. Of course
it is always conceivable that the sun
lniy lie reiuvigorated by a rejietition of
a similar startling process.
It is, however, lutrdly necessary to
observe that so terrific a convulsion
would be fata to life iu the solar sys
tem. Neither from the heavens above
nor from the earth beneath does it seem
possible to tliscover any lescue fur Ifce
human race from the inevitable end.
The race is as mortal as the individual,
aud, so far us we know, its span cannot
under any circumstances be run out
beyoud a number ot millions of years
which can certainly be told on the fiu
geraot both bauds, and probably ou the
Uutfirs of one. Hubert S. Ball in f'ort
