against the owners o
offending chimneys, but boiler own-
ers are taught the economy of modern
better-burning furnaces and smoke-
consumers, while their pride in a clean
city is aroused. One evidence of
progress is the introduction within
the year of over 150 smokeless fur-
naces. The best results are obtained
from the use of hard coal and coke.
While endeavoring to correct the
methods of the furnace owners, the
city has been a sinner itself, but it is
about to set a good example by using
smokeless coal at the city hall, the
police stations and the workhouse.
JUL COI: CEU

ing grade crossings in Chicago is agi-
tated, but without effect. As a result of
the present conditions of the crossings,
out of a population of a little more
than a million and a halfthere werein
the year 1900 330 deaths by railroad
accidents. Of these, 257 were caused by
steam cars and 73 by street cars. In
the same year there were in New York
city 134 deaths by railroad accidents in
a population of nearly three and a half
millions, and in Philadelphia (with a
population or more thanamillionanda
quarter) there were only 55 deaths by
railroad accidents. St. Louis, with a
population of 576,238, had the lowest
mortality by railroads, the number of
deaths being nine. The comparative
