4 Critical Driver Says . Word About
Them and Signal Bells.
On several street-car lines in this
town the signal for starting, one bell. is
the same as that for stopping. In the
same cars is gong with c!ock-face
register, by which the conductor keeps
account of the fares collected by him.
The fare gong always rings once for
each passenger, and, as it is located
Gear the stand occupied by the driver.
it occurred to reporter the other day
to ask driver how he distinguished
between the conductors stopping signal
and the ring OF the fare gong.
why" he replied, as rule. / do not
hear the fare gong at all. Ny attention
is fixed upon the bell that gives the
sound that know to be the one that
has to do with moving the car"
Then you determine your action &C.
cording to the pitch of the bells you
hear?"
Certainly. I know the difference in
quality and the pitch of the tones, and
so do the horses. Do you know, the
horses would never start from hearing
the ring of the fare gong. They know
the starting gong by its tone alone, and
that they obey. It takes a good horse
about three days to get used to the sig
nails, but sometimes we get horses that
run over the streets for three
months before getting accustomed
to the signals of the conductors.
Besides them there are horses that do
not seem 20 have the capability of
learning either the pitch of the bells
or the rhythm in which they are
sounded. ! tell you that horses are
just like human beings. They have
different capacities, and if they are not
naturally musical they drag along
month after month, pulling the cars,
and starting when they should not, and
stopping when they should 60 forward.
and never dropping into any under
standing Of the signals of the route. 1t
all comes down to a musical appre-
hension of the tones sounded. From
this it comes that some car horses are
done up in year, and others last If
teen years. The more intelligent they
ere the longer they last"-N. Y. Sun.

stIll Making Gun FlInts.

Flint-locks are generally supposed to
be entirely things of the past How,
then, are we to explain the fact that at
Brandon, in Suffolk, at this moment no
fewer than thirty-five men are still en-
ployed in fashioning gun flints, or flint
mapping" as it is generally called? No
less a number than so, 600, 600 of gun
fiints of various qualities and sizes are
officially stated to have left the work.

the last ten years. What has become
of them? Some light has been thrown
on this pulling question by the in
formation that their destination is the
west coast of Africa, whence they are
distributed among the savage tribes of
the interior. Auctioned off many years
ago as no longer of any use to MS.
our old flint guns and pistols have
found their way to the remote parts of
the great African continent where
they are doubtless regarded as better
than no weapon at all. Brandon. in

that he was responsible for his masters

taken up his position he had emptied
bag of ashes upon the stone. The
frightened reptile, after chasing about
for awhile trying to find it's treasure,
had gone of. The coolie remained in
his safe position until daylight, when
he descended the tree. dug the stone
out of the ashes, and delivered it to the

The cobra stone was semi-transpar-
