RAILROAD SIGNALS. but few of
our readers are acquainted with rail-
road signs and signals, and as they
may prove useful to some, we an
mex:
The varieties of the "toOt" of the
locomotive. and the gyrations of the
arms of the conductor by day, or Ian
terms by night, are about as intelligent
to most people rs first-clasS Choctaw.
The following will give the reader
correct idea of their signiticatiOn:-
One whistle-''dOwn brakes"
Two whistles-''off brakesn
Three whistles-"back up"
Continuous danger"
A rapid succession of short whistles
is the cattle alarm, at which the brakes
will always be put down.
A sweeping parting of hands on lev
el of eyes is a signal to 'gO ahead"
A downward motion of the hand,
with extended arms, Ito stop"
A beckOniug motion of one hand,
"back."
4 lantern raised and lowered YER
tically, is a signal for starting" ]"
swung at rightangles or crOssways the
track, stop" swung in circle
''back the train
a red flag waved upon the track
must be regarded as a signal of dan
ger. So with other signals given with
energy.
Hoisted at a station, is a signal for
train Ito stop"
Stuck up by the road side, it is a sig
nal of danger on the train ahead.
Carried unfurled upon an engine, is
a warning that another engine or train
is on its way.

FEARFUL PREDICTION BY AN EN-
TRANCED-wRESTLI WITH THE
SPIRITS.

Louisville, KY, is just now excited
over strange prediction by young
German lady, Miss Carrie Clein. resi-
ding there. She claims to have been
under the influence OF spirits, or mys-
terlOus influence, at intervals Tor
twelve years. She was thrown into
trance, she says, when seven years of
age, and again when she was fourteen,
lasting tOrse months, during which
she predicted the F'ranco-German war
and its results. Recently she has been
thrown into a similar state, and made
the following predictions in the pres
ence aud hearing of a reporter of the
Louisville Commercial:
In seven weeks from to-day
( March oath a war sign will appear
in the heavens, which will last fifteen
weeks and then cease. This will be
forewarning of terrible war between
the whites and blacks of the United
States. The first battle in the war of
races will be fought in April, 1872, and
the war will be brief, but terribly
bloody. After this war has ceased
three years another war sign will ap-
pear in heaven, indicating a T>1ewal
OF the present war in Europe. The
W III VIII IdSI ABOUT three years, ana all
Prussia viii glorify. Nine years after
this war ceases, another sign Will ap-
pear in the heavens above the whole
world, which will fOrewaTn people all
over the world of religious war
This will be terrible, even unto one part
as to another of the whole face of the
world. 1t will last nine years and will
temporarily cease for seven years,
when beasts wearing seven horns, each
of the form of huge saber, will APP
pear in the world in large numbers,
and the people inhabiting the world
will stand in fear. The oceans will
become red, and no vessel can stand
upon their face. Men will cease to
write, Ten years after disappearance
of this beast upon earth, a cross will
appear on the face of the sun, and a.
though the people were surprised to
see the moon cover the sun, they Will |
be more surprised, when they see this. |
The cross will cover the sun for seven !
teen years, when God Almighty will |
destroy the earth. My frieLds take

MOUNT INSTRUMENTATION a year ago
twas announced that Professor Hitchcock,
the State Geologist Of New Hampshire, and
Mir. j. II. Huntington, q graduate of Am
herst College, the leading institution in
this country in geological science, would
winter on Mount Washington for the pur-
pose OF making scientific observations.
Mount Washington Is avery desirable place
for one wishing to escape the summer heat
and willing to forego the pleasures of the
Watering-places but in winter, with the
thermometer tifty-nine degrees below zero,
it is not altogether the best site for pleas
ant home. The climate is as rigorous as
that of Central Greenland, and animal and
vegetable life corresponds with that of Lab
rador and of regions to the north of Labra-
dor. The clouds which blow over the sum-
NIT are often charged with frost to an eX-
tent which makes breathing the air very
unpleasant, and from the effects of which q
full inhalation brings on fit of coughing.
Severe storms are frequent, and the wind
travels with velocity SO great that Prof.
Hitchcock on one occasion found 1t neceS-
sary to sit with line round him in order
to keep his position while using the ane-
mometer. From the beginning of Novem-
Der to the close of January there was not
single clear day, and in the next three
months only one clear day in each month.
No gloomier and no more dangerous exist
ence could be experienced even in the Arctic
regions, death from the cold or the tor
Hado being possible every moment. The
party was composed Of six persons, one OF
whom was member of the United States
signal service, and two photographers.
They lived together In room twenty feet
long, eleven feet wide, and eight feet high
but small as it was. it was difficult, owing
to the intense GOODNESS of the Arctic cli-
mate, to keep it warm. In spite OF many
discomforts and disadvantages, the party
renamed throughout the winter, doing
their work manfully amid dangers and SUIT
ierings, and gaining much valuable scien-
titic lnlormation.=-Ne,s York Herald.
