Facts Worth Knowing.

The flags to be hoisted stimuli
taneously in signaling at sea never
exceed four; but with eighteen va
1rious colored flags, in combina-
tions Of fours or less, 1862 signals
can be given.
On Indian railways there are no
sleeping cars. The passengers
make a rush for the benches, and
those who get their bedding on
first keep them, the others being
crowded like sardines.
On the approach of a thunder
storm French peasants often make
up very smoky fire in the belief
that safety from lightning is thus
assured. BY some this is deemed
a superstition, but Schuster shows
that the custom is based on reason,
inasmuch as the smoke acts as a
good conductor for carrying away
the electricity slowly and safely.
He points out that in one thousand
cases of damage by lightning, 6.3
churches and SIS mills have been
struck, while the number of factory
.chimneys has only been O.3.
The japanese have curious
way of clearing railroad tunnels Of
smoke and gases. Each end of the
tunnel is provided with a canvas
curtain, hung at the top so that
when it is dropped it covers the
entire mouth of the tunnel. When
a train enters the tunnel the cur
tain at that end is dropped, and it
is kept down until the train leaves
the other end Of the tunnel. The
result is that all the smoke and
gases are carried along with the
train and forced into the open air
at the further end Of the tunnel.
1t is asserted that this plunger
action is SO perfect that smoke
from an engine seldom reaches as
far back as the middle Of the train.
Scientific men are puzzled to ac-
count for the success of the system.
