on TO the proper track, where its pas
sengers are to be landed.
To indicate whether the track is
clear or not, the switches will be con-
nected with $50 semaphore signals, that
will show clear above all distractions
on the tops of bridges placed over the
tracks destined for each of the several
roads. These will show the customary
red danger signal IL the track is in use,
or a green If it is ready for occupancy,
or no signal If IL is entirely unoccu-
pied. The semaphore signals work
automatically with the opening and
closing of the switches.
With these mechanical arrangements
at his disposal, and no fear that they
will go to sleep at their posts, or leave
them unprotected to go on a strike,
the operator in the tower sits as COM
fortably as the responsibilities of the
position will permit him.
Before him is a machine on which
numbered plates indicate the switch.
A series of levers from 8 to 6 inches
in length run along the front of the
machine each located at q numbered
plate. When n train is to come over
the rails and to go into the train shed
ne turns tne lever TO the TlEnI OF lelJ,
as the proper railing of the train re-
quires, and 1t slides smoothly into its
proper position. The operator is not
allowed to think of anything else but
his switches while on duty. He is not
alone in the tower, either. With him
are three others. who are known as the
director the assistant director and the
telephone man. Each of these has his
duties connected with the switch sys-
tenn, and in the same service, although
working on the earth, are two men
employed in keeping the switches well
oiled and cleaned.
All these men are impersonal, and to
the outside world have no names but
those that indicate their occupations.
There are, so to speak, three of each
of them. That is, there are three shifts
of men who do the work of the differ
ent positions, but whether 1t be John,
Jim or Tom who is on duty, for the
time he IS only the operator. director
or telephone man. The telephone man
gets word through the telephone or
telegraph wire that a train Is coming.
He communicates with the director
who, in turn, tells the operator. When
! It is seen approaching he turns his
| lever, and the switch IS set automatic
| ally, and the semaphore works and in
| dicates whether the track is clear or

half an hour later the triumphant
Tom laughed back from the promenade

to the captain to let him aboard.

est, as he turned his tired footsteps in
disappointment toward the little shop
near the weather-beaten depot. Near
the door of the jewelers. he paused A
woman's gentle hand had touched his
arm lightly and her glad yet pleading
eyes were looking tenderly up to his,
and in the softest, sweetest voice she
was saying:
"Oh, Mr.. Brown, how delighted I am
TO see you!" Before him stood Dora
Moore, lovelier, it seemed, than ever.
"Lon't you remember me, Mr..
Brown" she asked, smilingly. "Ah!"
she added, teasingly, II thought you
would. Mamma" she said, turning to
the pleasant-faceu, white-haired lady
beside her, this is Mr.. Brown"
"Of whom I've neard you speak,"
said Mrs. Moore, with a quiet smile.
We are on our way to the hotel to
spend month or SO for mamma's S
health" explained Dora.
On the way to the hotel Ernest told
the ladies how he had missed his boat,
because kind Providence had blessed
! Crystal Lake with q snail-like jeweler,
whose worth was now inestimable."
After supper, when Mrs. Moore had
retired to her room, Ernest and Dora
sat out on the veranda watching the
moonlit lake together, In almost the

And Dora looked trustfully up and

RooUEFoRT CHEESE.
Some of the Mysteries Connected
with It's Production.
Philadelphia Evening Telegraph,

Roquefort cheese, the delight of mod
ern epicures, is made of a mixture of
goat and sheep milk. The reputation
of this cheese extends back into dim
antiquity, and Pliny mentioned it in
his writings.
1t is made chiefly from the milk Of
Larzad goats and sheep, and in the
records in France it is stated that, in
the year 1866. 2jO,0o0 sheep and goats
out of a flock of 100000 gave enough
milk for the making of 7,150,000 pounds
of cheese.
In the manufacture of Roquefort
cheese, says an exchange, the sheep
and goats are milked in the evening,
after their return from the pastures,
and after they have been allowed to
rest for an hour or so.
The evenings milk is heated almost
to the boiling point, and then is set
aside. In the morning it is SKINNED,
heated to % degrees and mixed with
the mornings milk for coagulation.
The curd is we'll kneaded with the
hands and pressed in layers into molds
with perforated bottoms. A thin layer
of moldy bread is put between each
layer of curd.
The object of this is TO hasten the
"ripening" of the cheese by supplying
the germs of the green mold peculiar
to cheese. The bread used for this
purpose is made, before the preceding
Christmas, Of about equal parts of
summer and winter barley, with plenty
of sour dough. and some vinegar.
When moldy enough, it is ground
and sifted, moistened with water and
kept from the air until used in making
the cheese.
The curd remains in the molds for
three or four days. Then they are
taken to the market in Roduefort,
where they are sold to the different
makers of Roquefort cheese.
These manufacturers continue the
ripeninS of the cheeses by placing
them in the very damp caves which
abound in the precipitous walls of the
! limestone hills which almost complete
ly surround the village.
The cheeses are left in the caves
sometimes more than month, during
which time salt and brine are rubbed
into them, and they are priclled fire.

salt penetrate into them and also to
accelerate the process of moldering
