three languages-English, Russian and
Chinese. The English language will
be spoken all over North and South
America, in Australia, India, Africa,
New Zealand, and the islands of Aus.

SOUND TRAVELS IN BELTS,
why Locomotive Whistles Are Some,
times Not Heard at CROSSINGS.

Why Locomotive Whistles Are Some
times Not Heard at Crossings.
An important point was brought out
at an inquiry into the death of some
members of coaching party who were
killed by locomotive which dashed
into the coach at a crossing in Long Is
land. 1t was sought to determine
whether or not warning signal had
been given by the engineer on the ap-
proach of the train to the crossing.
The burden of evidence went to show
that no such signal had been heard.
On behalf of the railway company it
was urged that sound often travelled
in belts, and that q person in it's i'm
mediate vicinity might be out of its
line of travel, while at much greater
distance it could be distinctly heard.
In corroboration a singular incident
was described that took place on the
Central Vermont railway some time
ago. One of the division superintend-
ents of the received repeated complaints
that a certain crossing the prescribed
signals from the locomotive were omit
ted. The engineers all protested that
they had never neglected their duty.
Finally the superintendent determined
to get his own evidence, and privily
stationing himself in suitable posi-
ton he saw a locomotive approach and
pass without whistling or ringing the
bell. On the locomotive, however, there
happened to be one of the railroad de-
tectives, who had made up his mind
to look into the matter for himself,
and who actually blew the whistle and
rang the bell with his own hands.
When the superintendent returned to
write the discharge of the guilty en-
gineer he was confronted with the evil
dence of the detective. To end the mat
ter, they both went to the spot and
found that from a certain point they
could see the puff of steam at the whis-
tie and the bell in motion, but heard no
sound from either. An expert who was
called in recommended the removal of
piece of forest. This was carried out
and the signals became audible at the
| rOssing.-Pittsburgh Dispatch.

Cedar-wood is famous among farmers
for its lasting qualities, when used for
fence-posts. An interesting proof of
the power of this wood to resist the eff
fects of time is furnished by the Egyp.
tan boats made of cedar which were
found buried near the banks of the Nile,
and which, according to recent esti.
mates of their age. were probably in use
4,500 years ago! The fact must not be
overlooked, however, that these boats
were covered by the dry sand of the
desert.-Youth's Companion.
