Industrial Accidents. It is almost beyond belief that amongindustrial accidents over ten per cent,are owing directly, or indirectly, to thelack of proper illumination. This is themore to be regretted that as the meansof lighting is now so cheap that it is inevery sense cheaper than damages. Safetyfirst should include statistics bearing uponthis as well as kindred subjects, as thelack of statistics is very often this regard there is nothing morecommon than to place the great bulk ofrailway accidents involving life and limbthan to place the primary cause on thefault of those who are classed as tramp. TYPE OF BRIDGE ON THE TRAXS-SIBERIAN RAILWAY. in a way that it was never designed todo, and in a manner that was neverthought of before the present war. Whilethe building of the railway was primarilya military necessity in order to get sup-plies to the Far East, it was not expectedthat a necessity might arise for it beingused to bring supplies from the East. So it is that the trans-Siberian railroadis now proving to be Russias chief hopeof safety in a double sense, as munitionsand food supplies chiefly from Americaand Japan fill every train night and dayand apparently will continue to dountil other channels of admission areopened up. It is also a means of de-veloping Russia along the great unde-veloped areas of the country. The TomsKUniversity, situated in Central Siberia, ison the line of the great railway, and inthe engineering classes there are students, some of whom rece
