circuit is connected to the brush or
roller, and the other after passing
through pole-changing switch, is
grounded in the locomotive. 1t is so
arranged that all locomotives going
north have the positive pole con-
nected to the roller and the negative
grounded in the locomotive, and all
locomotives proceeding south are re-
versely connected, so that when two
locomotives thus equipped approach
near enough to one another to over
come the resistance interposed be :
tween them circuit is established
from one to the other, causing both
bells to ring and continue ringing
while they remain within dangerous
proximity.

DERAILMENT STOP.

system is arranged so that at certain
intervals along the track OF a mile,
more or less, the road is divided into
bic: ks or sections. At these places a
track instrument box is inserted.
The track portion OF the track m
strument box contains two tongues
or switches that normally lie along
and complete the continuity OF the
center rod, rail or conductor, but by
means arranged within the box, so
that when a train passes over III 10
moves one OF the switches across a
short insulated point and makes a
contact, which short circuits tram
following and causes its bell to ring
when it shall have approached
sufficiently near. When the tram
which effected the movement OF the
switch reaches the next succeeding
track instrument box it repeats the
oneration and restores the first men
toned box to it's normal or safety
nosjtion. The movement to danger
is made mechanically and the return
movement is effected electrically oy
means of magnet In each ooA,

Yhe Drug Clerks Eun.

Drug clerks often derive amuse-
ment from the prescriptions that are
left with them. A prescription which
was written by a Chicago physician,
was put up in a downtown phar-
macy the other day. The directions
were us follows: Zone tablet every
two hours for five days, skip four
days and commence again" The
pharmacist smiled when he wrote
the label, and professional etiquette
alone prevented him from asking the
customer, who weighed about $50
pounds, if he thought he would sur
vive after so much skipping. An
other prescription caused the patient
himself to laugh when he read the
doctors directions, which were
"Take fifteen drops one hour after
eating in a little water.
Il don't eat in water" said the
man, "although l did chew an apple
once when l was bathing at Long
Branch"
Strangely spelt communications
are often brought to the druggist. A
woman handed slip to clerk re-
Gently and said:
Gimme ten cents worth OF that. y
The clerk read, "Grocer's supple
ment.
Il guess you mean corrosive sub
Innate" he said, "but that is poison,
and we can't sell it to you"
The woman went away, after de.
claring that she wanted it to "kil]
