The Locomotive Whistle.

When the locomotives were first
built and began to trundle their small
londs up and down the newly and
rudely constructed railways of England
the country roads were for tho most
pnrt crossed Mt grade and the engine
driver had no way of giving warming
of his approach except by blowing r.
tin horn. This horn, as may be
imagined, was far from being n sufIi-
cient warning. One day in the yenr
1888 farmer of Thornton was CROSS
ing the railway tracks on one of tho
country roads with n great load Of
eggs and butter. just rs he came
out upon the track train approached.
The engine man blew his tin horn
Justify, but the farmer did not hear
it. Eighty dozen eggs and fifty pounds
of butter were smashed into an indis-
tinguishable, unpleasant mass and
mingled with the kindling wood to
which tho wagon was reduced. Tho
railway company had to pny tho
farmer the value of his fifty pounds of
butter, his $50 eggs, his horse and his
wagon.
1t was regarded az very serious
matter. and straightway a director of
the company, Ashlen Bagster by name,
won't to Alton Grange, whe'4s George
Stephenson lived, to sec if he could
not invent something that would give
warning more likely to be heard.
Stephenson went to work and the next
day had contrivance which, when
attached to the engine boiler, and the
steam turned on, gave out shrill dis
cotdant sound. The railway directors,
greatly delighted, ordered similar
contrivances attached to all the loco.
motives, and from that day to this the
voice of the locomotive whistle has
never been silent. Cardiff Mail.

Bnnanas and Pinennnles.

The banana and plantain are largo
coarse growing herbaceous plants with
long vertical leaves and leaf stalk,
these overlapping one another forming
soft stems from six to fifteen or more
feet high, and the fruit is produced in
bunch from the top of the sheathing
stem, each bunch weighing from thirty
up to nearly hundred pounds. In a
scientific classification this plant would
not be placed among trees, and yet if
man seeking to gather the fruit had
no implement strong and sharp enough
to cut down the stem he might climb
up among the leaves and break it off
with his hand. There is also reason.

FirIng Big Guns Mt Sen.

1t is not very pleasant experience
for civilian to BIO upon q line-of-bat-
tie ship at sea when the big guns arc
being fired with full charges of powder
and shot, says Chums. At tho conclu-
sion of the annual manoeuvres this
practice takes place, and most news
paper mon, having once undergone
this trial to their nerves, take care to
leave the ship before she steams to the
latitude whore her huge shots can do
no harm. Before the guus are dis
charged the decks are cleared for ao-
tion, and all the chairs in tho cabin
are laid down and tied together, whilst
every bit of moveablo furniture is &C.
cured. The doctor goes round, and
makes sure that every man has had his
ears stopped with cottonwood. Tho
conclusion whom the charges are fred
is tremendous, and the ironclad ouiv-
ers from stem to stern with tho vibra-
ton. In fact, the shook of tho explo-
sion is 30 great that every pane of glass
in tho skylights is invariably shattered,
and much of the ornamental woodwork
is splintered. After few hours of
this rough play, the carpenters have q
busy time in making things look pre-.
sentable once more, for tho chip re-
sembles wreck when she has finished
her practice. Nobody likes it. The
sailors standing by the big guns some-
times find themselves thrown all of n
heap across the deck, and after On hour
or two officers and men become as
black as sweeps.
"Wherc can got to be out of tho
way?" asked n Chums correspondent
of naval man on one such occasion.
Gas high up as You cam" said no /;
"only take care to grip tight hold of
something, or you may got iorked over
board"
Perhaps tho ono place in the vessel
where the guns trouble the crow least
is down in the eDgine-room, which is
below the level Of the deck upon which
most of the armament Is put.
Once it happened TINT big gun was
fired from spot right ovor tho cap
Trims cabin, which was liborally
adorned with pictures. When tho con-
cussion came, down went the pictures,
much to the owners annoyance. Tho
captain was determined not to sec his
pretty cabin spoiled.
How many times havo we to fro
that gun?" ho asked of an officer.
''The regulations say eight, sir"
"Well, 1 won't have it fired again. I"
every well, sir; what arc we to do
with the chnrges?"
'Throw them overbonrd."
And overheard the shot went, some
of them costing the Nation probably
$500 apiece, which tho captain dared
not take back with him to port. It il
not merely the noise and the shaking
which are Objectionable, for the smell
of gunpowder pervades everything,
and soup and all kinds of food reek of
sulphur.
