Introduction of a New Train sigma.

Introduction of New Train signaG
The bell used in the roof of the loco
motive cab to signal the engineer when
to stop and start will soon be thing of
the past. A new air train signal is fast
taking the place of the bell or gong, and
already all the passenger coaches on the
Lake Shore and Wabash railroads are
equipped with the air signal instead of
the bell. The air signal is worked by
means of a small rubber or iron tube
that runs under the coaches, like the air
pipes to work the air brakes. In the
locomotive cab there is an iron whistle
and when the conductor desires to stop
the train he pulls on short rope or lever
that allows the air to escape and the
whistle in the cab sounds the signal 1t
is claimed that this is much superior to
the bell arrangement. for the reason that
it works better on a long train.
The bell sometimes failed to respond
on long trains, and serious accidents oc-
CURED on that account. The bellrope
was also a handy thing for train robbers
tocut in order to prevent an alarm while
they were looting the wealth of the pas.
sengers. The other leading railroads of
the country will adopt the air train sig
nal as soon as they can get it attached
to their coaches. The New York Cen

and the Big Four are having the new
system of signaling the engineer at

wearing Effects of Leap year

"Will you please hold my bag while !
put on my gloves? queried a young lady
of her friend on an East Boston car the
other evening.
Certainly" replied her friend, and
the gentleman escort between the pair
of girls did his prettiest in passing the
bag containing the purse and all the
etceteras of the average woman to his
companion on his right. Then the three
lapsed into conversation, but any one
might have seen mischief brewing in the
sparkling brown eyes of the younger girl.
Presently the conductor appeared and
the escort in his quietest manner pulled
out from the depths Of his Scotch tweed
trousers the necessary amount of cash.
Brown Eyes slipped ten cent piece and
nickel into the hand Of the conductor.
"Oh!" exclaimed the dude. Why
what does this meanY
Nothing" retorted Brown Eyes; ''it's
only leap year." s
A howl went up from the passengers
seated around the trio, but there was a
sequel to the story.
"Here, take back your bag" said she
to her friend, land wake me up when

THE DIANA OF DEVILS DEN.
A Plucky schoolma'm Who Likes to

Plucky schoolma'm Who Likes to
Make a Night of Coon Hunting.
Near Upton is low, swampy tract of
land through which flows small, shall
low stream, lined with thick growth
of underbrush and water soaked logs,
that have lain there for ages, and is
known near and far as the Devils
Den." Near the "den" resides Miss Lucy
Campbell, a young woman who has a
great reputation as school teacher and
coon hunter.
Miss Campbell is nineteen years old,
tall and athletic, and is described as be-
ing very pretty. She has an ordinary
education, and for the last three winters
has taught school in the "Devils Den. -
She is a strongminded young woman,
and believes that her sex should pay at
tention to the development of the body
as we'll as the mind. When she took
the eden" school to teach three years
ago it was predicted that she would be
unable to manage the boy scholars. 1t
was hard school to handle. Some of
the pupils were older than the teacher
but she was equal to the task, and after
she had nearly scalped one of the "big
boys" with ruler and thrashed another
until he yelled for mercy, she encoun-
tered but little opposition.
The den is a famous resort for coons,
and Miss Campbell has hunted them
successfully ever since she was fourteen
years old. She has dog no less famous
than his mistress. With the dog and
her gun the young woman frequently
goes out for night of it in the woods
and swamps Last season Miss Camp
bell shot and killed thirty-seven coons.
The pelts sold for seventy-fve cents
each. This year up to date she has
killed ffty-three of these animals. 1t
has been good season, and Miss Camp
bell has hunted a great deal.
On a recent night she had an expert
ence with one of these sharp nailed ami
mails that was lively. and promised at
one time to be serious for the young
woman. She was awakened about mid
night by commotion among the fowls
in the henhouse. Concluding that a
coon had got among the chickens she
took her gun and went out. It was i'm
pOSSlUlo W Seo ulSIluCCly. w Hou W1Cnlu
short distance of the henhouse large
coon ran out and skurried up tall tree
near by. Miss Campbell could not get
good view of the animal, but seeing a
portion Of it's body exposed, she took
aim and fired, the ball taking effect in
"Mr. Coon's" shoulder and bringing him
humping to the ground. He alighted
on Miss Campbell's head. The force of
the blow knocked her down, and before
she could recover herself the enraged
coon had sprung upon her and fastened
it's teeth in her shoulder. The girl
struggled to free herself, but she could
not loosen its hold, and it tore savagely
at her body with its claws, tearing her
clothes into ribbons and lacerating the
flesh fearfully. The plucky girl scream
ed with pain, and her father, who had
been aroused, ran ont of the house and
dispatched the vicious fighter by shoot
ing it through the head with a pistol.
The wounds that Miss Campbell re-
ceived are very painful, and will pre-
vent her from teaching for some time.

WASHINGTON, March 9.-The arbitra-
tion treaty submitted to the senate by
the president today, recites the desire OF
the governments of this country and
England for an amicable settlement of
the questions concerning the jurisdic-
tional rights of the United States in
Bering sea; also concerning the pre-
servation of the fur seal in the sea and
the rights of the subjects of either
country as regards the taking of seal in
the sea. Therefore the questions are to
be submitted to the arbitration of a
committee composed Of seven, two to be
named by the president of the United
States, two by Queen Victoria and one
each by the president OF the French re-
public, the king of Italy and the king Of
Norway and Sweden.
The treaty provides for the time and
place OF meeting of the arbitrators, the
various points to be submitted; for the
filling OF vacancies that may exist on
the committee; for the employment of
necessary clerical assistance, ETC., and
binds this country and England to con-
slider the findings of the tribunal as a
full, perfect and final settlement of all
questions referred.
The senate after spending three hours
in executive session, discussing Bering
sea matters, ordered all documents re-
lating to the subject printed, and ad-
journed.
1t is learned that Secretary Blaine's
illness prevented any consultation with
him as to the Salisbury note opposing
the modus vivendi OF last year, and that
the reply thereto. dated the Sth instant,
transmitted by Mr.. Wharton, was in
fact written by the president.
