In the operation of railroads and rail.
road shops, compressed air finds many
other avenues of usefulness. In rail.
road yards, ii is employed for signaling
the switch. An automatic device for a
street crossing gate lowers gate, while
ringing a bell vigorously, on the ap.
proach of a train. Other devices make
the signals used in switching trains. and
throw the switches themselves. In this

valuable servant, for lifting and hoist.
ing. A long and slender cylinder is
hung from an overhead crane or der
rick above the object to be moved,
compressed air is forced into the cylin-
der, and the pair of locomotive wheels
or other ponderous weight is moved
with ease.
In no other line of industry has COM
pressed air proved itself more val,
liable auxiliary than in mining for coal,
gold and silver. Many of the most mag.
nificent operations of mining are de.
pendent upon the compressed air rock
drill. 1t has the additional advantage
of furnishing supply of pure mir for
the men to breathe. In coal mining
queer-leoking machines are used to a
great extent. The miners, who regard
them as sort of uncanny thing, call
them the stiron men," Placed on an in
cl:ned platform at the bottom of tun.
tel, they are, with two helpers, said to
do the work of ten men. The machines
themselves are among the strangest-
looking things ever set on wheels. The
compressed air locomotive has been
found a valuable contrivance in mines
too low for the use of mules. Two long
reservoirs, pair Of cylinders and a set
of wheels make up the compressed air
locomotive.

tion to compressed mir by building dy-

when We Three Met.

Now, in them days It so come to
pass that was right there present on
the ground when the first trade was
made, wherein Scallop-back Billy fell
into Andy's hands, and / recollect all
the whenceness and the wherefores
thereof.
1t would seem like Andy and me had
went to town together on Saturday
olong in the fall Of the year, and on our
return back home that evening we
struck road acquaintance with q
stranger which, accordin to his own
sdoxology, hailed from the Crawford Set
element way down in the river country,
but from the way things turned out
afterwards he was lyin like yaller
dog about that.
Anyhow, the stranger was ridin OF
"a little high-headed, proud-steppin
horse, with calico=painted sides and
other f-ncy trimIltins on him. He was
likewise rigged out in a screakin new
saddle, with q red saddle blanket, and
by gracious he was skimmin along over
the earth like bird IN great shape
Andy he was powerful taken up with
the genral experiments of the little
horse, and he bantered the stranger for
q trade right then and there on the
spot.
The stranger he responded back
that he wasethen ridin the best piece OF,
fhorsefesh that was ever done up in that
much hide, and dcousequentially he want
in no wise particular keen to part COM
pany with him. But at the same time
he went on to say that he was tradin
man and would swap anything he had,
except his wife and children, providin
of course he got the aggers fixed to suit
him.
"Well, comm right down to business
and rock bottom" says Andy, ''how-will.
you change saddles and brides with
me?"
Andy was ridin of little plug mule
which he had traded for that day, and
which the same stood him in hand
about $40, and was well worth the
money.
AS said in the outstart, am not

stranger went on torectly, "and Ireckon

TRANSMITTING POWER.
Compressed Air Is a Dangerous
RIVAL Of Electricity.

Especial Let5er.l

No subject is OF greater coming i'm
portance to1mechanical engineers and
transportation companies than the COM
parative merits of electricity and OF
compressed air as motive powers. To
speak OF either as motive powers is in
technical sense an error, for both are
rather the means of storage and trans
mitting power, than of originating it.
In this sense, the term motive power
will be used, although technically the
words are not strictly accurate.
Compressed air as d power for street
railways has made its way against the
active opposition of the electrical en-
gineers. The controversy has been
long and bitter. In spite of its oppo-
nents, compressed air has made marked
progress. it's in daily use in Europe on

The scallop shown ~.

The next minute they had both lit
and dismounted and got down to round
up the trade. They changed brides
in the first place, and then as Andy
pulled his saddle off and was takin a
farewell look at his mule, the stranger
give quick jerk and flung his saddle
from the pony to the mules back. For
some minutes then Andy he looked at
me and then at the pony, and looked
ut the pony and then at Andy, whilst his
eyes bulged out as big as a pair of sau-
GERS, and had powerful hankerin to
laugh.
When the stranger took off his sad
Gle and then pulled oil the blankets out,
ono by one, blamed if they didn't leave
a hole in the pony's back as big as a
hamper basket. You couldn't tell for
certain by lookin at him what in the
thunderation had happened to him, but
it would seem as if o big slice of his
back had been bit out or chopped out
at very young and early age. We
found out afterwards that the dead
limb of d tree had fell on him when he
was q mere colt and broke his back.
And then when he got well and come
around on his legs oncst more that ugly
scallop was still there, and there to stay.
The stranger had a, kind of silly look,
but it amt no ways probable that the
Fool Killer had ever had any
pressin engagements at his house,
and he had filled up that ugly
hole in the pony's back with
about Is saddle blankets, foldin them
every one little wider and wider till
he brung the valley up to level with
the knobs and hills surroundin
well, man, sir, when he lifted his sad
die and blankets and pulled the waddin,
out and left that thunderin big hole
there in the pony's back he looked a
blessed sight more like drummelary
than o piece Of horse flesh. / thought,
in my soul for few minutes that Andy
Lucas would faint and fall down in it
in spite Of all that could be said or
done. But he rallied presently and
come back to his right mind and proper
spirits.
BY this time the stranger was buck
lin upetiie girths as if TO take on wa

my saddle and whisperin to Andy. says

Ihe young man was SO tremendous
glad to swap back most anyway till he
went OF rejoicin, whilst Andy he rid
home on scallop-back Billy, with $50
spot cash landed safe in his left flank
pocket.
Nobody knows for certain how many
times Andy has swapped off scallop-
back Billy, but he gets him back every
clatter with a little boot money throwed
in for good measure. The stranger
which first swapped him to Andy sent
trader into the settlement oncst, and
sent him after scallop-back Billy at any
price. But Andy got onto the trick,
and when finally at last the trader
shook s1o0 at him for the calico pony
Andy would only shake his head and

Harnsworth took q fancy TO the ex-

How still the groves! And has some silver
flute
Ceased suddenly? The summer DAYS are
sped:
The earth IL quiet: and far overhead
All the blue attitudes of air are mute:
And those Aeolian harps are destitute
or music for sweet Melody IA dead
And Song to Silence in the wood il wed
No longer now we hear the thrush salute
The iaurels with soft-throated ecstasies.
Where summer hummed with buzzing
sound we see
The straw-huilt hives mute with immur-

No sound Is here; hut clear and distantIy,
Down the dim aisles OF fading memory,
Drifts the deep plant Of countless threno-
dies
