was adopted by a restaurant keeper of

A Man on the Cow Catcher.

"The time is not far off when every
locomotive drawing passenger train will
have a pilot. This pilot will have no
more to do with the engine itself than
the pilot of ferrybOat. His duty will
be simply to look ahead and commune
cate with the engineer in the cab" The
man who uttered this prophecy was not
sentimentalist, but very busy, prac-
teal railroad man, in charge of many, if
not three times as many trains as any
other man on the Atlantic coast.
"The pace has been rapidly getting
hotter and hotter in railroading," he
continued, "until every improvement
the human mind can suggest is adopted
as fast as it is thought of, and the big
roads are like so many sets of the most
perfectly adjusted clockwork. Every
device for switching, signaling, ballast
ing, taking water or coal, and, above all,
making speed, is the subject of constant
study and improvement, two things
being kept in view always and in all
things-saving time and preventing acct
dent. Between New York and the big
cities within few hours ride of it the
tracks are dotted with trains run
ming like mad. If there is the least
flaw in anything engine, cars, tracks,
switches, signals, time tables, or what
nOt-there Is likely to be a smash up.
So much time and money are spent in
guarding against the possibility of acct
dent that serious ones are very rare. But
in the midst of all this race for perfec-
ton the engineer is as he was at first.
He is unimproved. He is only man,
and the best man can only do so much.
An engineer was all that was wanted a
few years ago, but now it is different.
The engineer of to-day has got more than
he can do. Somebody must ease him of
some of his load.

predict that every passenger locomotive
will soon carry pilot. l don't know
where he'll be-whether OH the cab or in
front of the cab over the boiler, or in
front OF the boiler over what we now call
the pilot and you call the cow-catcher,
but he will be carried on every locomO-
tive that carries trains at high rate OF
speed, and he will watch the signals,
switches, bridges, highways and functions
and do nothing else, while the engineer
runs his engine.
"As it is, the engineer may be trying
his water guage just when he should br
looking at a signal. There are half a
hundred necessary things he may be doing
that will take his eyes off the road fol
an instant. He will miss a signal, and q
wreck will be the result. Mind, don't

Spinal Irritation.

Most persons are familiar with the
above words, and with the distressing
affection they denote. There are two
forms of it, the one characterized by
eXcitability. the other by depression.
The first is more common among females;
the second among males We shall
here contine ourselves to the first
The disease is in the spinal cord 1t
is developed slowly, but increasingly.
AT first there may be only Il frequently
occurring mental discomfort, and a
feeling OF uneasineSS in the back and
limbs Later there are distressing pains
in the spine between the shoulders. or
in the neck, or lower in the back. For
a while they are consequent on exertion
or fatigue, but at length become more
constant and intense. Intolerable pains
may be caused even by the weight of
the clothing, or by the least movement.
They may follow the course of the
nerves from the center-poiat to the
head, face and arms, if the irritation is
in the spine of the neck; to the arms,
the muscles between the ribs aid to the
stomach, if the upper dorsal region is
affected; to the abdomen, intestines and
along the lower limbs, if the lumbar re-
gion is affected. They may be fixed,
wandering or intermittent. Slight
functional disorders often throw the
patient into state of feyerish excite
ment. Even continuous talking ex-
hausts. The pains cause the patient to
take a position, upon the back, of abso-
lutte inaction.
The treatment requires an abundance
OF nourishing food, light stimulants,
tonics of different kinds, and especially
a protracted residence in the country, if
possible in the midst of forests and in
mountainous regions.
But the most important thing is to
remove the exciting cause. This may
have been over-eXertion, night-work,
excuses, or any form of strong emo
tional excitement - Youth COMPANION.

The Discovery OF Diamonds in Brazil.

Often, down to 1929, the gold-hunters
had noticed, in the bottoms of the bowls
in which they washed the river-sands.
little bright crystals. to which they
attached no value. The brilliancy OF
these crystals, their hardness, and their
regular form, as if shaped by the hand.
had, indeed, attracted the attention of
the miners, and many had saved them
to use as counters in play; but gold
alone had any value in the ewes of these
Adventures. At this epoch, according
to the least uncertain tradition, monk.
who had taken part in the search for
diamonds in India, recognized the
nature of these counters. He told his
discovery to a certain Bernardo da
Fonseca Lobo, who made it known in
his name to the Portuguese Government.
The King Immediately took possession
of all the lands where the presence of
diamonds had been recognized. and
where it could be suspected.
Bernardo received as his reward the
title of royal notary, and the command
of the militia of the most important CITY
of the region. The name of the monk
was forgotten. / do not believe that
the name of either could have been pop-
ular at Minas. for their discovery, which
threw hundreds of millions into the
treasury of the Kings of Portugal, was
the origin of one OF the most despotic
rules that any country ever had to en-
dure.
The first diamonds were found in the
sands of the brooks; and these sands.
or. to use the Portuguese expression
which has passed into nearly all Ian
guages, cascalhos, still constitute the
beds that are principally worked. But
beds of an entirely different nature, sit
uated. like mines of metals, in the midst
of the strata, and of corresponding
depth, have been brought to notice in
later years.-M H. Girccir, tn Popular
Sciepce Monthly.

The First Casting OF Iron.

Cast iron was not in commercial use
before the year 100, when Abraham
Darby, an intelligent mechanic, who
had brought some Dutch workmen to
establish brass foundry at Bristol,
Eng, con ceived the idea that iron might
be substituted for brass. This his work
men did not succeed In effecting, being
PROBABLY too much prejudiced IN favor
Of the metal with which they were best
acquainted. A Welsh shepherd boy
named John Thomas had, some little
time previous TO this, been received by
Abraham Darby into his workshop on
the recommendation of distant rela-
tive. While looking on during the ex-
periments of the Dutch workmen, he
said to Abraham Darby that he saw
where they had missed it He begged
to be allowed to try; so he and
Abraham Darby remained alone in the
workshop all night struggling with
the refractory metal and imperfect
molds. The hours passed on and day
light appeared, but neither would leave
his task; and just as morning dawned
they succeeded in casting an iron pot
complete. The boy entered into an
agreement with Abraham Darby to
serve him and keep the secret He was
enticed by the offer of double wages 10
leave his master, but he continued faith
full; and from 1909 to 1922 the family of
Thomas were confidential and much
valued agents TO the descendants of
Abraham Darby. For more than one
hundred years after the night in which
Thomas and his master succeeded in
making an iron casting in mold of
fine sand contained in frames and with
air-holes, the same process was prac-
ticed and kept secret at Colebrook Dale
with plugged keyholes and barred doors.
