The first trial made was that Of g..

uaiger signals. AS the brush, connected
WIN batteries, touched the conductor ~
.he signal apparatus, danger signs were
instantly shown in the front and in The

signals instantly show danger and tbe
engineer Is at once warned either of the

OF great reason for caution in his NOVA

Illustrating the manner in which a train
on a single track could protect itself in
front and in rear, and how a train on g
double track could protect itself in the
rear.
Inc most novel test, however, was one
where the approach Of two trains on thu
same track was shown, and their sinn,

rear AS the two trains rapidly nearec
each other the danger signal all at once
mashed up in front Of them, and they
were quickly brought to a standstill
thus preventing a collision. Then a,
one or the other train would move away
the signal would give notice to the othej
to come on, and they could thus be
worked in the neighborhood of eacl
other with perfect freedom.
The inventors, Messrs. T. D. William
and }. 5. Lacock, of the Western Unior
Telegraph company, were met yesterda,
by railroad men and electricians, SOM
OF whom expressed the belief that tn
invention would revolutionize the sigma
service of the railroads. No compan,
has yet been organized for the manipu
latlon of the patent, but it is understood
that one will shortly be formed. Al
offer OF $3.50, 900 for the patent is nov
being considered. -Pittsburg Dispatch.

A case was decided in WATERFOWL, NY,
few daysago, which shows that corpo-
ration has the right to withhold an en-
ployes salary, OF a portion of it, if he is
caught in the act of stealing. Exon
ductor Middleton brought suit against
the Rome, Watertown and Ogdensburs
railroad for $3.50 salary, which was with
held from him when he was discharged
from the service year ago, and it re-
suited in favor of the railroad company,
the testimony of Pinkerton detectives
having shown that the plaintiff failed to
report fares collected on the train,
amounting in one month to more than
the sum withheld from him.-New YoIs

John Browns fort the old engine
house used as a citadel by the great anti
slavery leader and his followers thirty
years ago as place of refuge from the
soldiers and citizens surrounding them,
is to be demolished, and will disappear
forever unless the as yet unsubstantiated
rumor that it has been purchased by an
association of eastern gentlemen for re
moval to Philadelphia should be true,
The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad com
pany has determined upon a very decid-
ed change in the location of its main
line at this place, the new survey run
ming directly through the old engine
house. Tens of thousands have gazed
with interest upon the fort from car
windows and platforms since the war,
and the demolition of the old building
will be regretted by many all over the
country. -Harper's Ferry Special.

THE Fascination of Niagara.

"Never," said an old resident of the
village, "have l known of SO many peo-
pie going over the falls as during the
past six months" During that time
some eight or nine persons have been
known to pass over, three of which have
been deliberate suicides. 1t is a source
of wonder to many people living here
why persons will come from distance
to Niagara apparently to commit suicide.
The press dispatch sent out from Bing-
hamton under the impression that the
last suicide was a Miss Mead, of that
place, says that the young lady visited
this place short time ago and has been
strangely fascinated with Niagara ever
since" 1t is well known fact that
scarcely any two persons have the same
impression when first looking upon the
rapids or falls. Only a few evenings
since your correspondent heard clergy
man in a neighboring city make this re-
mark: 81 never look upon Niagara above
the falls but that there is strong desire
to get into the water, lie down and go
with it. have no thought of suicide,
but it always seems to me as if it would
be pleasant to gowith the water"
A lady from Rhode Island was making
her first visit to Niagara, and was stand
ing on one of the Sister Island bridges
looking into the rapids underneath. She
hurriedly took the arm of her compan-
ion and asked to leave the spot Upon
reaching the center of Goat Island she
sank upon a seat, seemingly exhausted
and very nervous. When asked the
cause, she said: II don't know what
came over me, but if l had stood on the
bridge another moment nothing could
have prevented me jumping into the
rapids"
why" said her friend, "do you wish
to commit suicide?'
"God forbidr' said she. at was the
furthest thought, but there was an i'm
pulse which l could not CONTROL and | dc
not think | would dare live at Niagara
Others have experienced a similar sen

EXTENT OF LAKE MlsrAsslNl.
The Solution by Professor Louden and Mr.
Macdonald Not Ancertoh

The solution by Professor Louden and Mr..
Macdonald Not Accepted.
Neither in this city nor at Lake ST.
John Is any Importance attached to the
alleged solution of the mystery of Lake
Mistassini's extent by Professor Louden
and Mr.. Sandfield Macdonald, of Toronto.
furnished in their report published by
The Toronto World and New York Her
aid. The Montagnais Indians and the
old French courriers du bois at Lake st.
John ridicute the pretension that Lake
Mistassini is but 100 miles long. and the
general consensus of opinion in scientific
and literary circles here is that if such
were thecase the Jesuit explorers of two
centuries ago, who left maps of the lake
showing nearly 100 miles of its length,
would have completed their work, and
not left the mystery for future genera
tons to solve.
A report comes from Lake st. John to
the effect that Prosper Cleary, the chief
guide of Messrs. Louden and Macdonald,
declares that these gentlemen never went
further than the Hudson Bay company s
post on the shore of the lake, and never
saw even Mr.. Lows alleged end of the
lake. Mr.. John Bignell who was the
frst head of the expedition taken to the
lake by Mr.. Low, is of opinion that
Messrs. Louden and Macdonald were led
into error as to the limits of Mistassini,
and points to numerous reports from a
variety of Indian and other sources, all
indicating the existence of a large ex-
panse of water beyond the generally &C
cepted northeastern limit of the lake.
His statement that the report of these
explorers will not be accepted as
correct by the provincial authori-
ties is corroborated by officials of
the crown lands department., who
express the belief that ere long a
properly equipped expedition will be
sent to Mistassini by the government
with ample supplies and definite instruc-
tons to complete the work so often be-
gun there, only to be abandoned for lack
of time, provisions and scientific expert
ence. Mr.. Bignell has had lifelong ex
perience as a surveyor in the northern
country between Quebec and Hudson's
bay; and of Messrs. Louden and Macdon
AIDS report he says that sit fairly
bristles with inaccuracies, evidently the
result of inexperence in such work anc
hasty observation" The leading French
Canadian newspapers refuse to accep
the conclusions of the report, which are
popularity regarded here as the hasty re
suit of what was doubtless a very inter
esting and adventurous holiday trip
