4 Brakeman,s Prompt Action.

81 Sc, in the paper" said an old en-
ginecr, chat they have arrested Nickel
Plate driver over in Indiana for falling
to stop his train at a grade crossing in
time to prevent an accident. His defence
is that the rails were slippery. That
reminds me of one of my own expert
ences. Several years ago was runnin :
a fast express one night. We were three
hours behind time, and if there's any
thing in the world hate it's to finish a
run behind schedule. These grade
crossings of one horse roads are nuisances
to the trunk lines, and We had habit of
failing to stop, merely Stacking up for
'em. At this crossing had never seen
train at that time of night, and so l
rounded the curve out of the cut at full
tilt. l was astcnished to see the target
set against me, though had time enough
to stop, but it was lown grade there
and the track was very slippery, and to
add to the danger my air didn't work
right. whistled sharply to have the
target set clear for me, but on looking l
saw that a freight train was standing
right ever the crossing, evidently intend
ing to put few cars on our switch. /
wish could tell you what my thoughts
were at that moment. / gave the dan
ger whistle and tried to stop my train,
but had seven heavy sleepers on and
we Just slid down the grade spite of
everything could do. Now comes the
surprising part of my story. Quicker
than can tell you The brakeman on
that freight train uncoupled car just
back of our crossing and signaled his
engineer to 60 ahead, which he did
sharply, but barely in time to let us
through. In fact, the pilot of my engine
took the buffer off that rear car Through
that little hole We slipped, and lives and
property were saved. Now that brake
man was only common railroader, yet
he saw that situation at Glance. There
wasn't time to run his whole train off
the crossing, ner even half of it-barely
time to pull up one car length by prompt
quick work. He kept his wits about him
as venture 10 say, not one man in a
thousand would have done, and saved
my reputation, ifnot my life. lie is now

singular Cure Of n Pretty Young
ScbooI-GirI's Sore Throat.
Among the young ladies in attendance
at the Academy of the Sacred Heart is
Miss Mary McDonough, of No. l52 North
Tenth street, Reading. She is bright,
pretty miss. A little less than year ago
she contracted a severe cold, resulting
in nearly complete loss of voice. never
being able to speak abovea whisper.
Her father practising physician, was
notified and pronounced her trouble as
congestion of the larynx. DIR. Bernard
Lee, of Reading a cousin of the lady,
agreed with the father in his diagnosis
OF the case. and they did sll in their
power to effect cure, but failed to bring
even relief. DR.. ID. r. Mccormick, of
this city, was consulted with similar
result. Then the young lady betook
herself to prayers.
She prayed almost incessantly, but
relief came not. The good Sisters who
preside over the destlnieS of the school
prayed with her, and finally, as the feast
of the Immaculate Conception approach
ed, prayed more fervently than ever.
During the day Miss McDonough felt a
choking sensauen, then a terrible pain
IN her throat, and next as though great
lump had been suddenly removed, her
voice came back to her full and strong
as ever She has not suffered the least
inconvenient since, and nothing can
convince her of any other cure than that
which wa, effected through the efficacy
of prayer. n. /. MorAing Journal.

TO FIND GOLD AND SILVER.
A New York Wan Who Has Invented ~
New Divining Rod.

A well known con ra ;tOr and builde
noAliv:ng in this village ha' recently
perfected All instrument by means of
which he is able, he says, to discover the
location oc hidden gold and silver, or of
either metal in the shape of ore. He
won't talk much about it, because he has
not yet obtained his patent. He calls
the instrument mineral rod. To friend
he said:
81 take small, wide mouthed bottle
and put into it combination of minerals.
Then | insert two slender pieces of
whalebone about ten inches long, after
which the mouth Of the bottle is closed
air tight With wax, and buckskin cover
is drawn over the mouth and tied around
the neck of the bottle with a strong cord
saturated with shellac varnish. The COM
bination of metals is the secret, which
will not he djvulged even when the pat
ent is obtained"
To operate this rod the inventor takes
| the ends of the wbalebones in his hands
so that the bottle is above his hands and
his thumbs between the ends of the
whalebones. In this position he walks
over the supposed location of the pre-
cious metals until the right spot is reach
ed Then the bottle drops down, bend
ing the whalebones double ifthe attrac-
ton is great.
There is no magic about it," he said
today. at is simple enough. Certain
combinations OF metals produce certain
magnetic effects. BY experiments |
found the combination which would, i'll
my hands be attracted by gold and silver.
A $40 gold piece was placed under a
plank without my Knowledge TO see If it
would attract the bottle. | was directed
to tell under which portion of another
plank it had been placed. The bottle
went down over toward the right plank
while | was twenty feet away. l really
believe tnat it would be attracted by Sl1, :

were no counteIacting attraction. | can
make rod to find copper, one to find
gold, or one to find hard coal. The rod
is good only for the lind tor which 1t is
intended. When explained the mat,
ter to the editor of the Scientific American
some time ago he laughed, and said if il
would work in one mans hand it would
in another's. My only answer is an
actual trial. i can do it. Other men who
happened to nave as much electricity in
them as | have can handle the rod sue
cessfully. Theory may laugh at it; but
am ready to do the deed any time::"
The inventor is about % years old
He has been in the lumber and planning
mill business for years, and has also
taken contracts for all sorts of buildings,
including wooden bridges. New York
