Longs Railway Safety Clock.

Peter Long of Greensburg. Pa, is the
patentee of n of the most useful rail
way appliances of the age-a railway
signal time clock which accurately indi-
Gates the time intervening between the
passage of trains. 1t is mounted SINH
larly to a danger signal. and the engi
e can readily tell by simply glancing
at the dials the length Of time which has
elapsed since the preceding train passed
that point. The clock runs regularly
and indicates the hours and minutes Just
as an ordinary %timepiece does, but an
ingenious device and the time marking
apparatus throws the minute hand back
to II at the time of the passing of each
train. Then the hand moves forward
IN the regular way until the next train
thunders past, when it is again thrown
back to IL.
Should any n train not be followed
by another for an hour or a longer
period, then the minute hand will stop
at 50 minutes and remain there until a
passing train again throws it back to ~
where it will again begin its IS minute
Journey. The purpose of having the
hand stop at 80 minutes is to show that
at least that time has elapsed since a
train has passed that way. which is am
ply sufficient TO indicate ''clear track"

Rousseau.

Rousseau was a type Of the melancholic
temperament, assuming sometimes the
symptoms of veritable pathetic insan-
lty. He sought to realize his phantoms
IN the least susceptible circumstances:
he saw everywhere enemies and conspir-

sanity. Once. coming to his sailing yes

vorable winds as a conspiracy against

The man did as he was asked, and as
the night wore on the temperature be
came actually chilly. Now a few sum-
mers were let out, and the friends slept
comfortably until dawn.
When the king opened the door in the
morning. the man of many seasons blew
a cold blast right in his face, SO that the
royal nose was pinched with frost.

Hans.

THE ARCHBISHOP And HIS GUEST.

The Apostolic Delegates reception in New
York. while certain to be a source of special
satisfaction to himself, to the spiritual sover-
eign whom he represents and to a great ma
ioritv Of American Catholics, is also likely to
he productive Of results in which all intelligent
citizens of the United States should rejoice.
For he is the exponent of policy which does
not conflict with the development OF free in
situations in this country, nor put a premium
ON disloyalty. If heretofore there has been any
anxiety arising from the alleged attitude and
inclination, of the Archbishop of New York. 1t
was dissolved yesterday, when in a fervld and
felicitous address he diSavowcd the fluent con-
trovCrs:alists who have c0ntrlved to create the
IMPRESSION that they were speaking his
thoughts. and proclaimed his implicit OBJ dicncc
70 "the will and authority Of the Holy Father"
at present represented here by Monsignor
Satol.i.
1t may be unsafe to declare that those who
have been zcalously promoting bitter and
unprultlblc conflict will cease their efforts
even now. But their attempt to dlscredit the
Apostolic Delegate is doomed to failure by the
explicit avowals OF the prclate whose dignity
and authority they have been pretending to
defend. and whose alleged sympathy has been
their elf support. Undoubtedly many per
sons have supposed that Archbishop Corrgan
was at loas; not offended By manifestations of
hostility to Monsignor Saiolli, and it is pos
sibc that tho loyalty of not few Catholics
10 the head of the Church has been shaken
thereby. Indeed. we can readily believe that
the ArchbiShop's recognition of this consc-
ouence of the WARTIME which has been oSten-
SHY CONDUCTED in his behalf inspired the emo
ton with which he rebuIScd its promoters.
American PrOteStant>, as we have sad

fellow citizens ut this practical termination of

and not little scandal, and which at times
has appeared capable of multiplying in some
