A very simple method by which one man can manipulate a drag saw to cut down trees has been devised by n Western timber man. In using these saws two men have hereto fore been neces sary, one at each end o f the saw. Th e arrangement o f the drag-saw guide is shown in the illustration, uuiucs t b s s a w . Resting against the tree is a rod, from which Is sus pended a cord. A t the end o f the cord is an adjustable clamp, to which one end o f the saw is secured. A t the other end o f the saw is a handle. In operating the saw to cut the tree, the end opposite the handle Is supported by the cord in the same position as i f operated by band. W ith the employ ment o f this guide the necessity o f an extra man to manage one end o f the saw is eliminated.

Presumably due to the Industrial de pression of the past year, the death rate from accidents by rail appears to be on the decrease. The Accident Bulletin o f the Interstate Commerce Commission for the first quarter of 1008 shows a 'total of 125 passengers and employes killed, as compared with 220 such deaths in the preceding quarter, and with 346 In tbs one before that. The latest record is the smallest since these statistics we?e first collected In 1001.
