An Automatic Electric system Which
Has Been Tested la Germany.
The frequency Of railway accidents
during last year would appear TO
have acted as a stimulus TO inventors
IN the field OF railway signaling, for
AN unprecedented numDer OF warning
devices have been patented within
the last feH months One OF these,
which is regarded by the Pittsburg
Dispatch as specially worthy OF at
tentlon, has been successfully tested
on some Of the military lines in Ger
many. The system is automatic, and
is actuated by electricity. The cir
cults are 30 contrived that two trains
travelling on the same metals,
whether in the same or opposite di-
rection. are warned OF each others
position by the ringing OF bell on
each locomotive, while at the same
time the two drivers are brought
into telephone communication The
same thing occurs IL one OF the trains
be stationary. so thai IL there Is any
breakdown on the line IN front the
driver receives notice. The breaking

Of q train is also notified both TO
the driver and 10 the station
which the train has last passed
through and the distances at which
all these warnings are given and re-
ceived can be varied IN such man
ner so AS TO provide either long or
short blocks. according to the re-
quirements 81 the traffic IN fact.
the system seems TO have provided
effectively against all ordinary con-
tingencies. and its employment
should greatly reduce the risks Of
railway travel Tie German gov
ernmeni experts speak highly Of the
apparatus in their official report
Among other experiments a train en-
iering station was warned Of an
obstacle on the line: two locomotives
approaching each other on the same
track we're warned. two trains pro.
eeeding Ia the same direction. the
second AT greater speed than the
grst, were enabled 10 give each other
automatic notice Of their respective
speed aud position. and train
which was entering q station re-
ceived warning that points were in
the wrong position, In every case
notice WAS given in ample time TO
prevent danger and to render a col.
lision impossible.

IL does not take foreigners in
Washington long to thoroughly adapt
themselves TO the social customs OF
the city. This is especially true OF
the Chinese. whose spirit OF imita-
tiveness Is proverbial the world over.
All Nashingtonians and many out
siders will remember the famous
ball at the Chinese legation some
six or seven years ago when the list
of guests was so swelled by the adj
dition of the unlimited that the
place was crowded to suffocation,
aud the mob--for. according to Kate
Fields Washington. it was hardly
anything else--so abused the hospi-
tality OF these orlentals as to induce
them from that time to close the
legation except for business purposes.
The fact that the majority OF enter
iainments given during the season are
written upin the local papers, with
list OF the guests present, appears to
have been duly noted by the at,

Doomed to silence.

The germ Of a novel is contaiaed In

Twenty years ago, 3 church organise
stole the priests pistol, shot and robbed
a farmer, replaced the weapon IN tho
sacristy, confessed the crime 10 the
priest, whose lips were thus sealed upon
the subject. and then dfsaouDceo him as
the robber and assassin. The unfortu-

fessed this crime, bat when steps were
taken to secure the liberation o6 the in

been dead for several months. This
real-life tragedy fairly tames the real
life comedy of the fine young English
gentleman who, having been arrested
for robbing a postOfiioe, married the
pOstmistress, the sole witness against
him, who was thus precluded from testi-
flying against her husband.

Learning TO Save.

The first thing to be learned by a
boy or young man, or anybody else

useful paember Of society, is the habit
Of saving. No matter if boy or girl

so well-to-do as to be sure against pow

wealthy parents are often miserably
poor; while men OF large means have
commenced life without other advant-
ages than habits Of industry coupled
with the disposition to slve. IL is es-
pecially important that the children of
people in moderate circumstances and
Of the poor should learn to take care OF
