New Railway Signal.

Scientific American:-Railway men
especially train men know the use OF
the torpedo in warning following
train of danger saving time, and for
other emergencies which arise during
the run of train in sections, where
one section is close behind another.
The practice has been to drop OIL
man, or to stop theltrain while the hind
brakeman adjusted topedo, thereby
losing valuable time. J. H. Beving-
ton has produced and patented an in
strument which is so arranged that
with 1t torpedo with steel clasps can
be adjusted to the rail from the plat
form of the car while runninS at any
high rate of speed. n clamp contain
ing signal flag, another containing
a torch which will burn ten minutes
for night sgnals, and one containing
taper which will burn long enough
to show the rail while making the
adjustment can all be attached to the
rail by this ingenious instrument,
while the train is running at high
speed. These signals are applicable to
any code of rules covering the use OF
torpedoes as caution or danger signals.
The torpedoes make a very loud report
and their spring steel clamps prevent
all liability of being thrown from the
rail by locomotive passing over
them. The torches are limited to
burn ten minutes, and no storm Will
extinguish them until burned out.

What Kentucky Burgoo Is.

"If you should 60 out to Kentucky
about this time" said the old Judge,
'.you would probably be invited to a
burgoo. You don't recognize him by
that name do you? NoP Well. a
burgoo (accent on the last syllable) is
a grand, good thing. 1t is an all-day
picnic in the woods, with a feast
which throws the clam chowder and
the barbecue into the deep shade of
obscurity. In fact the burgoo usually
includes barbecue as a sort OF Incl
dent. You 90 out to corner OF the
woods, where a thick underbrush has
been carefully cut away, and where
there are trees enough for shade but
not enough for gloom, and there you
sit and play poker and smoke the tin-
est tobacco in the world and drink oily
1O-year-old sour mash and sniff the de-
lightful aroma of the burgoo until
along in the afternoon, when the mig
gers pronounce the burgoo ready and
Iadle it out to you in big bowlfuls.
The burgoo is delicious broth, which
is perpetual reminder of the aborig-
ines, who handed it over to our fore
fathers when they began coming across
the mountains from Virginia. You
take-or, rather, the darkies take-a
gigantic kettle and hang it over a
roaring fire. A light broth is made
first; then they throw in young chick
ems, young ducks, sucking pigs, and
all sorts Of small game, with fresh po-
tatoes, green peas, string beans, corn
and every other vegetable. Everything
is cooked until the meat begins to fail
to pieces. Then the walters, with
shining, smiling, black faces and snow
white jackets and aprons, bear great
bowlfuls of the toothsome stew
through the grove. Oh, how good it
is! My mouth waters as tell you of
it. Afterward there is more burgoo,
and then more burgoo, until everybody
has actually had enough. Then the
darkies satisfy themselves, while you
return to your pipe and your glass,
until the shadows of evening gather
sleepily around you.'' His voice be-
came low and his look became dreamy.
Suddenly he reused himself and re-
marked as he turned away: "a few
weeks later the darkies hold their
camp-meeting on the same spot. -

The process of killing and dressing
beef at the stock yards, says contem-
porary is not as expeditions and Won
derfui ia character as is that of killing
and dressing hogs. The features most
noticeable are the two methods used
In killing the animal at the start. One
OF these methods is through the use of
the rife, and the other the lance. In
both the animals are driven singly
from the yard into a narrow box stall
open at the top. A dozen of these
stalls are in row and over their tops
are laid some loose planks on which
the slayer walks with rifle or lance in
hand. In the case of the rifle the exc
cutioner puts a ball into the animals
brain at short range, which kills in
stantly. Not a groan is heard, not a
mnscle moves. The animal falls like
lump of lead and is at once dragged
from the stall into the slaughter house
where the throat is cut and the pro-
cess of dressing is completed,

The following in one of Mr.. Atkin-
sons papers, read in 1882: ITO the
workman, or the workwoman, it
matters not what the measure in
money is by which their wages or
earnings are defined. The real ques-
ton is. How good house, how large
room, how adequate a supply of
food and fuel and clothing can I pur-
chase with that money? 1t therefore
follows that every application of sci
ence to manufacturing industry, to
mining, or to agriculture. by which
the aggregate of things is increased
while the labor is diminished, tends
to increase the quantity of com modi-
ties to be divided among the laborers
and as this increase is progressive
year by year, the proportion which
capital can secure to itself under free
contract becomes less, while the pro-
portion which is assigned to laborers
becomes greater" ...
