ference between the human body and a machine of metal: the ia- chiiie made by man is n thnrz apart from the substance fed to it as fuel. whereas the God-made human body is of the same sub- stance as the,fucl. and therefore life depends entirely on sufficient outside fuel bi-inc sunnlied to DIC- vent its consuming itself.

OSHAWA. Ont.. Feb. l8-Im- movements in train equipment last year cost the Canadian National Railways 3Ill.000.000, said 5. F. Dingle, vice-,.. sident of operation for the system. in an address here recently before the Rotary club.
Mr. Dingle said that the 373.- O00.000 for freight train equipment. s1'I.000.000 for passenger train equipment and 0l1.000.000 for "10- tive power spent last year by the C. N. R. represented only a small part of the bill that the railway had to meet to keep itself in tune with the times as well as in busi- ness. There were additional expen- ditures for maintenance of track extensions to yards and develop- ment of new ones. erection of buildings. purchases of fuel and normal supplies. and a thousand and one other things that the rail- way had to do to maintain its ser- vices.
"When engine power can be de- veloped from the atom you can be assured that the railways will use it." he continued. "They have been quick to take advantage of tech- nological advancements and have inspired many of them. Wood gave way to coal which is now being supplemented or surplanted by oil and electricity; main line rail has risen 56 to 130 pounds to the yard and will be increased to 131' pounds: automatic signals are re- placing train orders as fast as the railways can afford to install them. "More and more mechanization is being used in the handling of freight and for the maintenance of roadbed. Air conditioning and modern equipment is general to all principal services with their meals on wheels. bedrooms. compartments and lounges.
"Fast freight train schedules are scientifically drawn up to that one fs tied to the other all over the continent and the shipper is pro- videcl with frequent dependable and fast movement for his goods. The box car of 20 tons capacity has been replaced by 60 ton cars and there are flat cars capable of car- rying loads of l.'l5 tons each. There are special types of cars for special commodities and there is no ivne of freight offering which the rail-
get. more wheat only if it brings the price into line with world par- lh-.-2.38 a bushel.
wheat is not a popular crop with the New Zealand farmer. and a steady decline in acreage sown in wheat has been shown in yearly crop production reports.
Recent high prices for wool have accentuated this trend as farmers have turned over more acres to pnsturage for sheep.
One way in which the govern- ment hopes to talk the farmers into growing more wheat is by stressing the fact that wheat fits in well with crop-rotation plans aimed at providing better pastures for sheep.

These improvements cost money. said Mr. Dingle. who pointed out that one reason for the heavy ex- penditurcs represented by freight and passenger train equipment lies in the extremely high cost of each unit.
