that the Transmission Of the mysterious

they would never go at his end of the

the president, 'and / shall find il before

At the expiration Of 40 days the mci:-

| He walked to the window and looked
out over the coach yards, and saw the
pale girl pacing the platform, waiting
for a train to carry her back to her
home. Her heart was heavy with dread
of the collision, and at thought OF re-
turning to her widowed mother with the
news of her failure TO secure work. The
superintendent tapped upon the window
with switch key and, when she looked
up, beckoned her to him.
Take that seat" said the superinten-
dent, pointing to an empty chair at the
dispatcher's desk. She did as he had
told her, and waited tremblingly for the
Wire to give her something to do
Mr.. Dreamer, the first trick man, who
had been sent away, having heard OF the
sudden illness of the trainmaster, now
came hurriedly into the office. The SUI
perintendent waved his hand in the di-
recti0n of the desk where the girl sat.
Keep your seal" said the dispatcher,
as she was about to rise, and after CLAM
cling over the work, turned a blanched
face to the superintendent.
There was moment of silence in which
the two men gazed helplessly into each
others faces and listened constantly for
a call from East or Westcreek. The keys
clicked merrily, and the girl, whose
cheeks were now burning red gathered
IN the reports from the various stations
of the coming and going of many trains.
Now the operator at Eastbrook touch
ed the key and said: ''No. 8 20 minutes
late" and fresh color came to the white
faces in the dispatcher's Office.
When the operator at Westbrook quit
ted the platform and re-entered the of
fee, he heard hurry-up call for him,
which came in a quick, nervous way,
and told him that he was wanted. He
answered at once and got this in return:
Hold No. 8, lap order" The last two
words assured him that compliance with
this order was necessary to prevent col
lision "No. 8 is gone" he replied.
Hold her-T. J. G." came back to him
In an instant. The man is crazy, thought
the operator, but he would try. AS he
rushed from the office light engine was
just pulling out of the siding to take
water. This locomotive belonged to the
crew Of a work train, but the train had
been left in the siding. The operator
sprang into the cab and shouted to the
engineer to pull out and catch No. 8,
LAP ORDER" he added and that was
enough. The driver, without waiting for
his fireman who was some yards behind,
tugging at a stiff switch in an effort
to close 1T, pulled the throttle open and
bounded away up the steep grade behind
the passenger train.
/ Now they could see the rear end of No
8 just whipping a corner. The road
master saw the approaching engine and az
she came nearer guessed that she wal

The superintendent, who had Looked
into the ghost-like face of the girl as she
nassed him on the stair, thought he read
there of a wrong done and returned at
once to the dispateher's office, determines
to have the matter out with his rebelllous

told him that No. had already passed
Westcreek, the special had passed East

An Interesting Experiment.

You need not be frightened at the
appearance of the little monster depict
ed in the accompanying cut. 1t is in
the form Of a scorpion, it is true, but
1t is perfectly harmless, because 1t Is
made of camphor. With it and basin
of water We may make very interest
ing experiment. Take as many little
irregular Jumps of gum-camphor as
may be necessary to fashion the shape
Of the scorpion, say one hundred and
fifty or two hundred, and arrange them,
as shown in the picture, on the surface
of the water. In little while you will
see the scorpion move about of its own
accord, waving its claws and wagging
its tail. Now, there are several little
bits of philosophy in this experiment;
let us see what they are. 1. The scor-
pion swims on the water, but Is very
nearly submerged. This shows us that
the density Of the camphor is a tritie
less than that Of the water, its specific
gravity being actually about 1896. 2.
1t does not disintegrate, but maintains
Its shape and its solidity. If you had
placed it in alcohol, 1t would have sunk
to the bottom Of the vessel and would
soon have dissolved. CamphOr, there
fore, is Of greater specific gravity than
alcohol, and is also readily dissolved
In 1t. 3. The little bits that make up
the form of the scorpion remain to-
gether, as they were placed; they do
not float apart. This is due to cohe-
sion. 4. The peculiar movement that
the scorpion makes upon the water,
floating about, waving its claws and
wagging its tail, are due to property
that camphor has Of moving on water.
The particles not only move about, but
they rotate on their own axis. This,
as some say, is due to the elasticity Of
the vapor that the camphor gives off.
Others say it Is due to a mysterious

MultIple1 Printing Telegraph.

The multiplex printing telegraph, in
vented by Prof. Henry A. Rowland OF
the Johns Hopkins University, will
soon be put on the market. By this in
strument an operator can transmit a
message written on a typewriter and
have it reproduced in typewriter form
at receiving end In addition, with DR.,
Rowland's new machine five or six diff
ferent messages can be sent over the
same wire in one direction at the same
time. In duplex this makes
ten or twelve messages on the wire at
one time. Thus, with FIVE operators at
each end of a line, sending each an
average of thirty words minute, 300
words can be transmitted each minute.

sclencs and Great Cities.

Professor Brewer, of Yale University,
In a recent address called attention to
the interesting fact that at the begin
ming of this century not single city
in Christendom had so many as mil
lion inhabitants. In 1900 Paris had
$4,000, and in 1901 London had $4,000.
Great cities could not exist then as the
advance of science has enabled them to
exist to-day. Science has helped the
cities not only by conquering pesti-
lence. and teaching the laws of health,
but by enabling them to draw their
supplies from the remotest quarters Of
the earth instead Of being dependent
for food, as was the case at the open
ing of the century, upon the region Of
country Immediately surrounding
them.

Protection from Lightning.

1t has long been held from practical
experience that the network of wires
now found in many towns protects
those places from the effects Of light
ming, and probably also prevents many
thunderstorms from breaking over
them. An official inquiry has been re-
Gently made in Germany as to the influ-
ence exerted by telephone wires on at
mospheric electricity, with view to
set at rest the question whether danger
from lightning stroke is increased or
diminished by close network of wires.
This has shown that the wires tend to
weaken the violence and diminish the
danger Of the lightning stroke. Re
turns obtained from $40 towns proVid-
ed, and from $50 not provided, with
telephone system, show that the danger
varies, on the average, in the proper
ton Of to 4.6 between the two cases.

Made to Look Like Marble.

It is said that by giving plaster fig
ures bath in certain way they may
be made to look like marble. The bath
is made by putting two generous
quarts of water into an agate kettle
with one ounce of pure curd soap and
one ounce Of white beeswax, cut into
small pieces; let this dissolve over a
slow fire, and when all the ingredients
are thoroughly mixed tie fine twine
around the figure and dip it into the
LIQUID. Take the figure out and hold
It in the air for five minutes and then
again dip it into the liquid; let the
figure dry for a few days and then rub
1t with soft flannel; a brilliant gloss
will be produced.

take the tremendous leap over
tho great falls, and thus pass
through the fearful turmoil Of the
rapids and whilrpools beneath with
little or no harm. But after having
reached the placid waters Of Lake On
tariO they rapidly perish, and almost
entirely disappear. This and many
other similar facts were adduced to
show that quiet subsistence in undis-
turbed water is far more fatal to bac-
terial life than the most violent agi-
tation in contact with atmospheric air.
Hence Professor Frank argues that
the storage of water in reservoirs Is
an excellent method Of freeing it from
microbes.

The Lobster and Its Claws.

1t is a curious fact that the lobster
has the power of shedding its claws a.
will; and when one is broken of new
one grows in its place. If a lobster
should be caught by claw, he would
simply give himself a little snap, and.
leaving the captive member in the hand
of tao captor, would take away the
remnant of his anatomy with all the
speed at his command. When fright
ened, especially in cold weather, it is
said. he will give snap to one of his
claws. and leaving that as a comprom-
Use with the enemy whom he fears, will
escape If possible, and for some years
devote himself to repairing the loss.

Life Plant.

Travellers in Bermuda and the West
Indies often bring back as a souvenir
Of their trip the leaves of an interest
ing plant Of the houseleek family. 1t
is known as the life plant, and when
the leaves begin to shrivel and fade
they send out little shoots which in
turn bear leaves that continue to grow
and remain fresh and green for months.
The leaves are about four inches
long, rich green in color, and of a
smooth, waxen texture. The plant, the
books say, is of the genus "Bryophyl-
lum, belonging to the Crassulaceae
family; succulent, with herbaceOus or
shrubby stem and annual or perennial
roots, growing in hot, dry, exposed
places" In Bermuda it grows to be
about foot high.

pin it to the wall indoors it will begin
10 sprcut within three or four days,
be 4: winter or summer At first the
top portion of the leaf will begin to
wither and shrivel up, and this is like
" to continue until the upper half has
lost its green color. Then tiny white
roots will sprout from the edges, and,
in time. diminutive green leaves will
appear on these. These little offshoots
will sometimes grow to be an inch long.
and contain several pairs Of leaves.
'The limit Of their existence seems to
depend upon the amount of heat and
light they con obtain.

Tho Causes of ParalysIs.

In late number Of a French medi-
cal journal writer of note gives some
facts on paralysis and its exciting
causes which throw new light on the
subject. He says that over-exertion
and inaction after a life of activity are
the most prolific causes of this disease
In patients who have been busy dur

ing the greater part Of their lifetime.
and who, having made fortunes, retire
to take life easily, paralysis is among
the most hopeless Of maladies to COM
bar. Persons who are fairly active,
withoT+ being subjected to undue ment-
al or physical strain, are not likely to
have paralysis. 1t is extremes of bodl-
ly or mental fatigue which are the pre-
disposing causes.

Discovering Consumption in the Blood.

Discovering Consumption in the Blood.
DR.. A. NJ. Holmes, of Denver, a
specialist on lung diseases, declares
that a microscopical examination OF
the blood will show the early begin
ming Of consumption before it makes
Itself known in the lungs. A tiny pin
prick and drop of blood under the
microscope foretells the disease in
time to stop its future growth. In
times past 1t has only been by an ex-
animation of the disease germ or by
soundings Of the chest that the fact
Of the lungs giving way before insidi-
GUS consumption could be known.
Then the knowledge was too late, for
when such stage had been reached
the disease would be already so firmly
seated that nothing could be hoped save
to prolong the sufferers life. Should
the discovery be confirmed, 1t will
prove one of the most important In the
history Of medical science.
