A NEW RAILWAY PRECAUTION--A
Michigan railroad company has attached
to thirty-four of its, locomotives a new
style of alarm bell. The bell isso attached
that when the engine goes the bell rings,
being struck by the hammer once at each
revolution of the driving wheels. Being
placed directly in front of the boiler. the
sound of the bell is seldom heard by the
engineer or fireman, and can not be heard
on the train, consequently it is no annoy
ance to passengers, while it is claimed its
position causes the sound to be thrown
forward, and conducted by the earth and
the railroad track OF rails, so that it can be
heard considerable distance in advance
of the train, thus giving timely warning,
The general superintendent Of the road
thinks some recent accidents would have
been certainly prevented by the use of this
invention,

One Hundred Years Ago,

One hundred and ten years ago, there
was not single white man in Kentucky,
Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. Then, what
is the most f1ourishing part of America
was as little known as the country around
the mysterious mountains Of the moon. 1t
was not until 1867 that Booneleft his home
in North Carolina to become the first set
tier in Kentucky. The first pioneer of
Ohio did not settle until twenty years after
this time. A hundred years ago Canada
belonged to France, and the population did
not exceed million and half of people.
A hundred years ago the great Frederick
of Prussia was performing those grand eX-
plOits which have made him immortal in
military annals, and with his little mon
archy was sustaining a single-handed con-
test with Russia, Austria and France, the
three great powers of Europe combined.
Washington was modest Virginia colo
nel, and the great events in history of the
two words In which these great but dis
scarcely foreshadowed. A hundred wears
ago the United State were the most loyal
part of the British Empire, and on the
pOlltlcal horlzon no speck indicated the
struggle which within ascore of wears there
after established the great repubIie of the
world A hundred years ago there were
but four newspapers in America Steam
engines had not been imagined and rail
roads and telegraphs had not entered into
the remotest conception of men. When
we come to look back al it through the
vista of history, We find that to the centu-
ry Just passed has been allotted more i'm
portant events, in their bearing upon the
happiness of the world, than almost any
other which has elapsed since the crea-
tiOn.-SaR Francisco Bulletin.
