Interesting Story of Its Origination by
George Stephenson.
Birmingham Daily Post.
When locomotives were first built.
and began to trunlle their small loads
up and down the newly and rudely
constructed railways Of England, the
country roads were, for the most part,
crossed at grade, and the engine driver
had no way OF giving warning of his APP
proach except by blowing a tin horn.
This bora, as may be imagined, was far
from being sufficient warning. One
day, in the year 1888, farmer of Thorn
ten was crossing the railway track on
one of the country roads with great
load of eggs and butter. Just as he
came out upon the track train ap.
preached. The engine man blew his
tin horn Justify, but the farmer did not
hear it. Eighty dozens of eggs and so
pounds Of butter were smashed into an
indistinguishable, unpleasant mass, and
mingled with the kinding wood 10
which the wagon was reduced. The
railway company had to pay the farmer
the value OF his 80 pounds Of butter, his
9GO eggs, his horse and his wagoL.
1t was regarded as very serious mat
ter and straistway u director of the
company, Ashlen Bagster by name,
went to Alton Grange, where George
Stephenson lived, to see ii he could not
nventsomcthing that would give warn
ing more likely to be heard. Stephenson
went to work, and the next day had q
continuance which, when attached to
the engine boiler, and the steam turned
on. gave out shrill, discordant sound.
Tue railway directors, greatly delighted,
ordered similar contriYanccs to be at.
tached to all the locomotives, and from
that day to this the voice OF the locomo.
tive whistle has never been silent.

hearing the words which condemned him

that be had been several times in prison
for theft, the prisoner exclaimed fercely:
1.-THE unjust conditions of society were re-
sponsihle for what You are pleased to term
robberies." Valiant said he conceived
the idea of blowing up the chamber of
deputies while living at Choisy lie Roi.
He admitted that he obtained the money
with which he purchased the materials for
making the bomb from the results OF
theft. Later on he reluctantly admitted
that he received 20 francs from Nine. Paul
Recius, wife of Young engineer, nephew
of the distinguished French geographical
writer, Jacques Elisee Reclus. valiant,
however, insisted that Nine. Reclus gave
him the money as an act of charity. not
as subscription 10 the cause of anarchy
or in any way to further the ends which he
had in view.
valiant said he regretted the bomb
did not have the effect he desired, and ex-
planned that this was owing to the fact
that one of his neighbors in the gallery
accidentally knocked his arm while he was
in the act of throwing the loaded missile
at the deputies. At this point the presid-
ing judge turned to the prisoner and said !:
