The Railway Signal Tower.

The signal tower, rectangular, with
rows OF windows on all sides, stood ut the
intersection OF many branches. At this
point the trunk line resolved itself from
four tracks into two, and here the gravel
track, which looked as IL it had been laid
by palsied contractor, left the main line
and respectablrity behind nnd hObbfed out
of sight behind the signal station with an
Intoxicated eir. Beneath the tower, TO the
right, double tracked branch tapped a
fertile country beyond the sandhills.
And beneath the signal tower, to the
left, single tracked branch, only mile
long, brought South Sumach, one of those
tiresome towns that manufacture on n
water power, in touch with the middle
man. This petty branch---as il the case
had been with petty people-made more
trouble than all the rest of the lines put
together. The signal men found this out.
So Sumach junction had its place in the
world, and perhaps it was a more impor-
tant one than that of many a complacent
and opulent suburb.
The heart OF this little community did
not center, as thoughtless person might
suppose, in the church or the ecommandery,
or the grocery store, or the school, but in
the signal tower. 1t was the pulse of the
section. 1t was the life blood of thou
sands Of unconcerned travellers, whose lives
and happiness depended on the intelligent
vigilance Of three men. These three took
turns up there in the tower, locking and
unlocking switches and signals, until one
might expect them TO faint for dizziness
and confusion. n.--Scribner Magazine.

Origin of the French Thcater.

Volumes innumerable have been writ
ten on the origin of the French thcater,
which had as humble n beginning as the
theater in oil other European countries,
with the exception, however, of opera. The
spoken drama of France, as Of other Eu-
ropean countries, had humber beginnings,
and the first regular troop Of the Comedie
Franchise had it's origin in a combination
of wondering companies. 1t is n little
more than two centuries ago, i'm the year
1889, that the thcntcr where 1.-THE come
dians of the king" habituelly performed
received the title of Coincide Franchise,
though its constitution dates from 1850,
when, by order OF Louis XIV, the com
pany or the Hotel de f5UurRuRne was
united to that of the Theater Guenegaud
in the Rue Mazarin. The history of the
Comedie Franchise cannot well be sepa-
rated from that OF Corneille and Of Moliere,
its greatest writer's, though Moliere, who
died in 1878, and Corneille, who died i'm
1884, produced their works long before the
fheater Francais was officially constituted

What is the smallest light on earth that
would be seen ON the moon' We will
suppose that the sun has set a place on
this side OF the moon; the earth then np-
pears ns n thin crescent OF light. and the
light which is to be noticed is placed in
the dark portion OF the earth. Now, an
arc lamp OF 400 candle power with suit
able reflector can bc seen plainly at dis
tance Of 20 miles OH the surfsce OF the
earth on dark night. II there were no
absorption Of the light by the atmosphere,
IT would bc seen plainly 30 miles. From
these data, and remembering that the
mean distance OF tho moon from the earth
Is 24O,O 900 miles, We easily find that the
light must be 2s, 600. 600, 900 candle pow

A SCIENTIFIC CURIOSITY.
New York's Building Within building
That Interests Engineers.

New York has no place that is as inter
esting 10 engineers and students of engi-
neering az the big cable building at the
north iyest.corper OF Broadway and Hous-
ton street, which Is one OF the power sta
tions Of the Broadway cable road. This *
an eight story building, with granite and
brio front and an interiorof steel, being
really building within building. What
makes the building scientific curiosity IS
the fact that. though the ponderous oper-
ating machinery Of the station is at work
increasingly night and day, itssworking
does not prodSce the slightest Jar or trcmor
I'm the building. There are $50 tons OF
machinery, all told in motion when the
cable works, including driving wheels,
shafts aud cable drums. The shafts OF
the driving wheels themselves weigh 80
tons each and two OF tho driving wheels
are 80 feet I'm diameter.
The machinery IL 05 feet below the side
walk level, and in itself is a wondrous
sight to layman. A visit 90 the power
room makes plain at glance how the en-
gineers have solved the problem OF elimi-
mating the jar and tremor OF the mighty
steel power makers. The builders have
simply reared the huge superstructure Of
stone and steel on great steel pillars that
are nearly IA foot in diameter. These
pillars rest on a foundation OF concrete
and do not come in contact at any point
with the foundations upon which the cable
machinery is built. This latter founda-
ton is q separate and distinct one OF steel
plates filled in with concrete, with big cir
cular holes at different points. The foun-
dation pillars of the building pass through
these holes, and there is n free space of
halfa dozen inches all around between the
pillars and the steel and concrete founda-
tion.
Even IL the giant machinery did jar
the jarring could not be communicated to
the steel pillars of the building, and with
out such communication it would be inn
possible TO produce n jarring OF the walls.
1t is an equally astonishing fact to lay
man that the machinery itself does not jar
in the least. The mammoth shafts Of the
driving wheel beat the air and produce a
sensation like humping upon the ear
drum OF the visitor 10 the power house,
but that is all.
If visitor places his hands on the walls
or the street columns, he can readily dis
cover that there IL not the slightest tre-
NOR of either walls or pillars. There is a
big store on the ground floor of the build
ing over the power room, and every one
who goes in the store is amazed to find that
the floor does not shake. The visitor can
hear the machinery going below him, but
he cannot feel any motion despite the
enormous weight Of the machinery New

Archmologists and antiqunrinns In their
writings frequently refer TO the manufac-
ture OF flint arrowheads, etc, As a lost art.
That is a great mistake. The art IL prob
ably lost TO the Indians because they
have no use for IL. The stone implements
have given place TO those OF iron and
steel, and the rifle and revolver have sup
planted the flint ax and arrowhead. The
art of making them IL not lost, however.
There are many collectors Of relics Of the
aborigincs who have studied the art OF
working in flint and have become adopts.
In Chattanooga = gentleman has l'ccome
20 proficient in the art that he has not
only manufactured magnificent specimens
OF arrowheads from aint, but also from the
far more brittle obsidinn, and even from
ordinary glass. ss.-Chattsnooga Correspond

An interesting study Of the horsepower
OF the whale has been made by the emi-

the University of Edinburgh, in conjunc-
tion with Mr. John Henderson, the equal
ly eminent Glasgow shipbGilder The size
and dimensions Of great whale stranded

were These Thing. connsetsaY

a lady now living in Virginia has had
two or three experiences OF something like
an intimation Of the death OF friends or
relatives. While visiting the house OF her
husbands brother in historic county OF
southern Virginia several years ago she re
lated 20 her sister-in-law at the breakfast
table dream that she had the night be-
fore. It was that her child was lost, and
that she hired n carriage 20 hunt for him.
Remembering the old saying that II you
tell dream before breakfast II win come
true, she said nothing about this dream
until the conversation that followed break

Are you prepared for it? Are your reapers
and mowers and other farming impleme ents
in proper condition to take care of your
crops? If not. it is high time that you
should look after them and il they should
need repairs of any kind, you should have
them made at once. And then you will need
some good lubricating oil to run your
machinery. No machine will or can do good
work unless You will use some good machine
oil. Saur & Balsley have large stock Of
good frst-class machine oil ON hand which
they guarantee to give satisfaction in every
way, prices as well as quality. They bought
most of these oils very low for the reason
that they bought early, before the advance.
This enables them to sell again at lower
prices than many others have had to pay
higher price for the reason that they did not
take advantage of the markets. Remember
that Saur d Balsley carry full line of all
the machine oils in general use and that
they guarantee them to be as represented.

1t was with no little heraldry, pomp and
fash Of trumpets that one Of our blase
young gentlemen ushered eight damsels in
to Sutherland's and after all were seated,
in stentorian modulations ordered up the
best the house afforded, quantity to cut no
h-aa-r whatever. 1t was also no little diplo-
macy that led this same young 'feller' to
interview the caterer before the viands ap-
peared, ,--and then straiahtway depart. The
result was decidedly refreshing, If not in a
m measure, startling. A portiere rolled back
and the next instant our octet was served
with one melancholy dish of cream and
EIGHT lovely spoons But the girls were
not like the fellow who refused such cheer
full hospitality. There was pause, what
rhetorical people term an emphatic pause,
and then the celerlty with whi,h that cream
va nished was measure of caution. Then
there was another emphatic pause, which
seemed to have been injured, because it was
very painful, followed by grand exit to
slow music and colored lights.
