NEW RAILWAT ALARA:M.—We read in G,ii;gnans :
" H. Herman, chief engineer of the Orleans railway, has.
invented a means of warning engine-drivers ofi accidents.
which occur to trains in motion. A load alarnm 3 placed at
the head of the train, sad it is pot is commtWitation with
au eleetrie pile is such a way that as long as an electric cur -
rent plays uninterruptedly upon it, it remains immovables
and when the aorrent ceases it rings. The current is ole-
tinned by passing two wires, covered with znitta.percha,
beneath the waggons. and continuing them Isom one car-
riage to another ley means of small chains placed in the
large conneeeing chains, these chains being so fixed tat
they unite this moment a carriage is attar to a train.
To cause the current to be nninterrupteil, the wires or
chains of the last waggon of the train are connected- If
then any accident occurs to break the wires, the cument
becomes interrupted, and the alarum rings. The box of
each conductor is provided with a sort of break, which
enables him to remove or break the wire is case of accident.
The experiments which have been male have been quite sue•
ccasful, and the cost of the whole apparatus Is very alight."
Two LAWTEIts SWINDLED.--Two lawyers at
Brussels were sonic days ago swindled out of a small sum
of money in a curious manner. One of them was at dinner,
when a young naan came in, and presenting the eard of one
of his acquaintances, also a lawyer, stated that the owner
; of the card urns in a shop in the neighbourhood, and being
, short of 101., requested him to lend him that sum until the
; next day. This the lawyer did at once. The next evening,

r me 2Uf." How can I owe ycu 201.," said the other,
"when I sent you 10f. ?" This brought on au explanatian,
. from which it resteted that each party hail given 101. to
I the messenger for the other. After the first moment

I the trick played on them.—tia:iyitaiii.
