TO Protect Lives of Railroad nren.


An ingenious and simple instrument
has been devised for the protection Of
surface men at work on the railways.
The inventor, Sir William Arrol, was
led to apply his mind to this matter in
consequence of the numerous fatalities
which have lately occurred among that
class of railway servants in England.
The instrument consists of a steel spring
connected with a portable electric bat
terry and bell by coil of wire two or
three hundred yards long. When the
spring has been bolted into position on
the inner side of the rail and almost flush
with the top Of the rail the battery is
carried to the neighborhood of where
the workmen are engaged, the connec-
ton being kept up by the coil Of wire,
which is unwound to the necessary
length.
When a train comes along the spring
is depressed by the danges of the wheel
as they pass over and two metallic but
tons, one on the under side Of the spring
and the other on the upper side of the
sole plate, are brought into contact and
complete an electric circuit supplied
from the battery, ringing the bell at the
battery and thus warning the workmen
of the approaching train. The instru-
ments are to be kept at the signal boxes
along the line so as to be readily avail
able by the workmen. Sir William Arrol
does not intend to patent the invention.
His sole desire is to render the surface
mans life a less dangerous one and he
gives all railway companies permission
to manufacture as many as they please.

To Destroy Thistles.

The Canada thistle differs from the COM
mon ball thistle, having more slender
stem and smaller flower heads which are
about one-half in diameter. 1t is also
more difficult to destroy as it is perennial
spreading by long underground stems
which penetrate deeply into the soil often
below the reach of the pillow. Frequent
deep pIoughing will, in shallow, dry soils,
nearly always destroy the thistle though in
light. rich, moist soils even this method
fails.
Care should be had in blowing or other
wise stirring the soil not to allow any
leaves or roots to remain, or the plowing
only acts to spread the weed. Other meth
DDS of destruction are hoeing, sailing burn
ing or enriching the land and forming a
strong grass sod. Moving when the this
tie is coming into bloom does not destroy
but merely checks the growth of the plant,
although applying kerosene oil to the roots
after cutting may prove enectuai. Inc
seed will resist everything but hot fire
and wherever practicable this method
should be used. Burn every yesuge of til
plant.
The common bull thistle is not as hard &c
deal with 1t can be distinguished from
/ the Canada thistle by the larger fiowe
heads and larger stem and leaves. 1t do.
