Facing Certain Death.

With his foot caught and firmly held
in a frog on the Reading railroad track
at West Falls, John Duffy met death in
fearful form. Duffy was employed as a
brakeman by the Reading company, and
ran ahead "a his train to open a switch.
That duty performed, he signaled his
engineer to bring ON the train.
His signal vas observed, and as the
train came toward him Duffy found
that his foot was caught firmly in a
frog. He shouted for help and made
frantic efforts to release himself, but in
vain. The noise of the putting engine
drowned his cries. and when the engi-
neer saw the struggling man in the full
glare of the headlight it was too late to
save his life.
Swiftly the great engine bore down on
the frantic prisoner, and though the
the lever was reversed and the brake put
down hard the locomotive struck Duffy
and he was literally cut in two. Death
was instantaneous, but the expression
on the dead face showed plainly the ter,
rible agony the man had endured for a
few seconds.-Philadelphia Record.

A Heating Scheme.

A plan of heating mills has been in
troduced by which heated air is deliv-
cred from a large fan into fues in the
walls, registers from each flue delivering
the air into the different rooms, this air
being heated by the waste gases from
the boiler. The products of combustion
pass from the boilers through econo-
mixers for heating the feed water, next
through a regenerator for relocating the
steam exhausted from the high pressure
cylinder and on its way to the low pres
sure cylinder. and then passes through
air pipes, where it heats the cold air for
heating the buildings. then passes to the
chimney. If heated air is not wanted,
but only cool air for ventilation. the gases
from the boiler are turned by a damper
into the chimney without entering the
heater, and il the gases are o sufficient
to heat the air as desired additional
heat is supplied by radiators of steam in
this heater. The temperature of the air
is raised about 80 degrees by its contact
with the hot gases.-New York Sun.
