Novel block signal system.

The Weehawken tunnel of the West
Shore railway in New Jersey, which is
1920 feet in length, has a novel block
signal system. The arrangement con-
sists of line of incandescent electric
lamps about 300 feet apart and placed
on level with the eye of the engine
driver. When the lamps are all alight,
it is an indication of safety. Each train
passing through extinguishes the lamps
for distance of 100 feet in its rear, a
result which is automatically effected
by an electrically connected track cir
cult, whereby the lamps are kept under
the continuous control of the train. The
operators in the signal towers at each
end of the tunnel can also extinguish the
lights in any section of the tunnel if oc-
casion requires. This system appears to
embody number of exceedingly valu-
able features, and if successful in prac-
tice cannot but increase the traffic ca
pacity of long tunnel largely beyond
that which is possible by the methods of
signaling heretofore in use.-Engineer-
ing Magazine.

EAST, West. Homes Best"

It is pleasing weakness of human ma
ture to assume that every good thing be-
longs in peculiar to ones one country
or to ones own special part of it. A
Frenchman who had been spending a
considerable time in Germany exclaimed
Immediately after crossing the frontier
back into his own country:
"There are birds singing in the trees.
We are in France again.
This story is matched by true one of
New England woman who spent two
years in Illinois, and returning to her
beloved home wrote as follows to a
friend in the east:
1T is so nice to be back in the east
aud hear the locusts, katydids and brown
thIushes once more"
All these creatures had made the sum-
mer air musical in the part of the coun-
try which she had been visiting, but
during her punishment she had never
heard them.--Youth's Companion.

sba,,ov cultivation For Corn.

It is told in bulletin from the Indi-
ana station that better success has been
obtained on the station grounds from
shallow cultivation of corn than by any
other method Shallow cultivation on
the average produced higher yields than
when the ground was stirred deeply,
and this is simply proving what has long
been advocated. Corn is a plant that
needs only the stirring of the surface
soil and not deep down, as the roots of
the plant do not extend very deep.
In planting corn, however, the bulle-
tin says that it is quite desirable to pillow
deep. Early planting of the corn in the
fields always gives better results than
the late, averaging from two to three
bushels per acre more than late plant
ing. Commercial fertilizers, while good
in their way for corn, do not begin to
compare with stable manure, which al
ways gives more lasting and valuable
effect upon the soil. Moderate applica
lions of stable manure made at the right
time will give more desirable result:
than heavy applications of commercial
fertilizers. There is limit to theneedi
of the plants, and moderate application
will give often as good results as very
heavy top dressings.

All fruit is said to be most wholesome
the first thing in the morning and
surely no fruit is so cleansing and re-
freshing and very little so delicious at
that hour as a big juicy melon, cooled
over night and almost cracking open and
voluntarily exposing its red heart after
the knife has gone partly through it.
Such melon, however, is just as good
at other hours in the hot days, for which
it seems to be especially provided as a
refreshing experience, something more
than the shadow of a great rock in a
weary land. 1t is no wonder the south
ern darlies are so fond of watermelons.
In these most trying days of the long
summer of the south the melon is more
refreshing than chill dewdrops ON the
early morning grass, and to the over
heated, overwearied and thirsty soul a
good juicy ripe one ''comes home to the
business and the bosoms'' of darby and
white man alike.-Hartford Times.

A great many lovers of flowers who
have not made botanical lore and legend
study often ask themselves or some
friend why the passion flower" is so
called, and not one time in dozen is the
correct answer given. 1t was so named
by the first Spanish settlers in the new
world because they imagined that they
saw in 1t representation of our Lords
passion. The flamentous processes are
taken to represent the crown of thorns;
the styles, the nails used in fastening
the Saviour to the cross; the anthers, the
marks of the five wounds; the leaf, the
spear that pierced his side; the tendrils,
the cords or whips with which he was
scourged; the column of the ovary, the
upright of the cross; the stamens, the
hammers; the calyx, the ''glory" or halo;
the white tint, purity; the blue tint,
heaven.
Calvary clover" is still more Won
derful representation of the crucifxion.
In that flower persons of vivid imagina-
ton can see in the meanderings of the
colors of the petals the outlines of a
cross with the figure of man stretched
prone upon it.-St. Louis Republic.

What Others Say.

A Vermont farmer tells in The Rural
New Yorker that he sprays his potatoes
by means of short handled whisk
broom.
The Rural New Yorker says: 1--WE
can't cure hay here equal to the English,
simply on account of the climate. They
cure their hay so that it is of bright
green color, such as we seldom see in
American hay. Canada beats us in this
respect"
The Fanciers' Journal says: 1--WE do
not recommend our readers to depend
on a lining of tarred paper to prevent
lice from harboring in a poultry house.
Put the paper outside, use whitewash
and kerosene inside and dry lime or pyr-
ethrin in nests, and lice will not trouble
the flock, and the house will be pro-
tected by the paper from the weather.
Potato growers who supply the bulk
of the stock for market have learned
that extremely early potatoes seldom

One of the interesting results Of the
recent experiments in England in photo
graphing flying bullets has been to show
that the disturbance in the air travels
faster than the bullet itself.
The photographs exhibit air waves in
advance of the bullets, even when the
latter are moving faster than the veloc-
ity of sound.
In one case where the bullet was NOV
ing considerably faster than sound trav-
els in the air it was preceded by an at
mospheric disturbance which, at the
moment the photograph was taken, wac
half an inch in advance of the point OF
the bullet. Even when the bullets were
travelling four times as fast as sound the
atmospheric disturbance kept ahead OF
them.--Y Youths Companion.

Western woman's Views on Introduce
tor nraans

A Western Woman's Views on Introduce
ing Queens.
A person who has never introduced
queens had better try their hands on
cheap queens before they attempt to in
troduce valuable ones. They may go
exactly according to directions printed
on the cage of the breeder and then fail.
Mrs. Harrison, who considers the sub
ject in letter to The Prairie Farmer,
SAYS that to be absolutely sure of sue
cess it must be positively known that
there is no queen in the hive. Occasion
ally two queens are found living peace
ably in hive-mother and daughter
and when one was removed the conclu-
sion was made that the coast was clear
and the stranger introduced, when she
met her death.
There is a great difference in the dis
position of bees with reference to accept
ing strange queen. They will persist
in refusing to accept queen and be de-
termined to have none except one OF
their own rearing. Mr.. Doolittle's plan
would be good one for such incorrigible
bees. He would smoke them to intimi-
date them and cause them to fill their
sacs with honey and then brush them
into a cage and place them in cool
place, like cellar, for "a hours. when
they will accept any queen, even virgin.
There are many different ways of in
PRODUCING queens. The old one must first
be removed and the new one introduced
caged-after 48 hours is usually recon-
mended. It is an easy matter to lift out
a comb and find an Italian queen, for
she will remain upon the comb, laying
and being fed by her attendants. But
black bees will run off the comb and
gather in clusters, tumbling on to the
ground, and take pleasure in creeping up
under your garments Finding the queen
is thus like hunting needle in hay
NOW. The best way to find them is to
fasten a piece of queen excluding zinc
in front of hive, remove the old one and
put this in its place and brush the bees
from the combs and put them in the
new hive. The bees will all pass through
zinc, but the queen viii be found on the
outside of it.

Our Other SELF.

Each of us has two selves, the higher
and the lower. When God seems out of
reach. as is often the case, and our pray
ers return to us heavier and sadder than
when they left our lips, it is good
plan to commune with that alter ego
which is a shade nearer the divine, that
part which longs to help and to over
come, but is held down by the infrmi-
ties of the lower nature. Ask it for
strength and instruction, and by SO do
ing help the whole man. God is so often
beautifully fcnnd in such ways. -Ameri-

Along its back, under it and at the
