at SIS, 27O, is entailed. The mostint
esting clause is one directing the widow,
because of the existence of a letter
which the testator believes to be
garbled, and statements which he
knows to be wicked and cruel false
hoods relative to the domestic life of
his parents, to collect and sell all pa

mission to the future earl of Lytton, SO
that the representatives of a name
rendered illustrious by the testator's
honored father shall never be without

ACoLoRADo lad. seventeen years OF
age, has invented device to prevent
rear end collisions of railway trains.
The signal consists of an iron box,
about four inches square, in which is
inclosed a torpedo This box is fast
ened to the outside base of the rail, at
least seven hundred feet from a switch,
either way. From this box and con.
nected with mechanical contrivances
inside steel wire runs alongside the
rail and is connected with the rod Of
the switch. When the switch is set
for the main track the torpedo remains
inside the box, but as long as it is
thrown to siding it sets square on the
rail and explodes when struck by the
engine of the rear train, thus giving
time for the train to be stopped and
prevent collision
