Old Irish War Cries.

Like the modern cowboy yell Of the
western troops in the Cuban campaign,
the war cries and slogans of the an
cient Irish clans often had much effect
in inspiring fear in the enemy and
courage and enthusiasm in the COM
mand. The simplest and most fire.
quent OF old Erin's war cries was
"Faire, faire," signifying watch" or
look out" It was precautionary sig
nal and was commonly written Far
rah." From 1t the modern "hurrah'
is supposed to have been derived. An
other cry was "a buaidh," which
meant "to the victory" 1t was pro-
nounced "aboo," and followed the
name of the clan, or leader, according
to circumstances, like "O'Neill aboo,'
or Clam Conail aboo." Frequently
"a buaidh" Is construed incorrectly in
modern English to mean forever
That translation applies to go brath.'
but not "a buaidh." The famous Irish
cry of Flag an bealach," meaning
"clear the way" scared the spunk out
Of the French soldiery in the PENN
sular war.

A SCHOOL ON WHEELS.
How the Westinghouse Air-Brake system
Il Taught.

Il Taught.
A few weeks ago there rolled into
the yard of the New York, New Ha-
ven and Hartford railroad, at Park
square, q most unusual kind OF school,
house. It was backed upon a siding,
and remained there until 1t left the
city. This schoolhcuse, with Its corps
Of competent instructors, is the only
n of its kind in this country, or IN
the whole world, for that matter, ana
IS owned INT operated by the west
made up CT three cars and has Travelled
more than fifty-five thousand miles. In
it more than one hundred thousand
railroad men have been instructed
within the eight years of its exist
ence. 1t is a perfectly constructed
school house, fitted with every appll-
ance for instructing the pupils n the
use Of the Westinghouse Air Brake
system, atd hs1l;'s principal and its
competent teachers. When the West
ingbouse air brake was invented and
az, LIED to steam railroads, it was
f5und to be the best thing Of its kin
Fever invented, rpvided it was proper
ly handled. 1t is automatic in its ac-
ton, but ..he best results could not
be obtained without a competent man
at the throttle, WHO understood per-
fectly just what results might be OBJ
tanned with a certain amount of pros
sure. 1t was this fact that led to the
establishment of the schoolhouse,
which just now has its headquarters
IN Boston. 1t was the idea OF getting
! the best results cut of the brake, and
therefore insuring greater safety to
the passengers and a saving Of prop
erty to the railroads and shippers, that
was the Inspiration of this remarkable
school. 1t was in 1889 that the three
cars that compose the schoolhcuse
were built in Altoona, Pa, by the
Westinghouse Air Brake company. The
instruction cal is equipped with the
full number OF cir brakes, number OF
feet of piping, coupling, auxiliary res
%ervoirs, etc, to equip a freight train
Of thirty cars, and also to equip a pas
senger train Of fifteen cars fitted with
the whistle signaling device. The in
struction car weighs $4,000 pounds,
and Is one of the heaviest cars that
sver travelled the rails CT a railroad.
More than 112, 900 railroad men have
received instruction and have been
examined as to their competency. The
schoolhouse Of three cars has been on
every railroad west CT the Mississippi
river, including Manitoba, Canada, and
Mexico. 1t has also been over thou

OF SNOW.
Produced BY o Combination of Copper
Pipes and Liuuened Carbonlo Acid,

Produced by . Combination of Copper
Pipes and Liqueaed Carbonlo Acid.
A Paris sculptor, with an apprecia-
ton fer and the power to satisfy the
demand of the minute, has hit upon
the novel scheme Of turning out SNOW
statues" for such of his patrons as lean
to the unique in art. says the New York
Herald. Statues of any required shape
are made and add greatly to the ap-
pearance CT drawing rooms in the
French capital. To all intents and
purposes these statues are carved out
Of the compactly welded fleece. AS a
matter OF fact, they are only coated
with snow, the under part being made
up of copper pipes. thin and light.
The discovery, which has resulted
in a las or orders reaching the sculp-
tor and a consequent substantial IN
crease in his revenues-for he charges
"topstory" prices for his products
came in the nature Of an accident. 1t
was while the artist was being shown
the method of ice making by machin-
cry that the plan presented itself to
him. The liquefed gases, he noticed,
in their trip through the copper pipes
produced on the outside an appearance
Enthusiastically that Of snow. This had
been caused by the deposition Of the
water vapor of the atmosphere on the
metal and the freezing of 1t by the
action of the acid.
This system, reasoned the sculptor
might be applied to statuary. And he
applied it. A statue Of thin copper was
quickly constructed and a box Of lique-
fed carbonic acid placed in the base.
When this gas %evaporated the effect OF
freezing was produced, the moisture in
the air was attracted to the copper
sides and quickly frozen into the
semblance of nov Many beautiful
designs have been turned out in pur-
suance of this principle, and the sculp-
tor is said to be reaping a golden re-
ward for his snow discovery.

Another Hero.

One morning recently Wallace Logan,
who was an engineer on a railroad
train, died to ave others. There was
. wreck near Akron, O., in which Mrs.
Frank Wilson, a Cincinnati lady, and
many others were injured. Mr.. Logan
was on the engine and he could have
escaped by Jumping when the eninge
ran off the track, but he knew that If
he did so a great many people would
lose their lives, so he grasped the
throttle valve and stuck to his post Of
duty, and he was the only one on all
the train that was killed. He died be-
cause he was a brave Not every
one has a chance to be a hero, but
when the need fer n rises there is
always some one like Wallace Logan to
Gil the place. Everybody has to die
some time, and when ones time has
come 1t would be grand to die as he
did-doing his duty.

FINAL FATE
OF Coup's Rolling Palaces, That Were

Once the Rage.
For a long time nearly everybody in
the south knew about "Coup's Rolling
Palaces" but probably none know ex-
actly what became Of them. The roll
ing palaces consisted OF a train OF cars
specially built so as TO be connected
at will into Il long pavilion. Inside
was a museum, a huge aquarium, a
congress of freaks and finally an audi
torium department, where brief vaude-
Vile performances were given. The
whole thing was nos deliberately got
up, was brilliantly lighted by its own
dynamos and cost 100000 to con-
struct. 1t was the idea of Coup, the
veteran circus man, and he had been
gradually figuring it out for years.
When he had it perfected he had no
money, and was Obliged to take in
what show people call Commercial
capital" In other words, business
men backed it, and were foolish enough
to insist Ca doing the managing after
Coup had taken it through the south
for one extremely profitable season.
The thing was a huge moneymaker,
properly handled. The people would
be let in at one end and kept moving
until they emerged az the other. and
many would make the circuit two or
three times. Under the business mems
management it lost heavily, however,
and finally, after innumerable vicissi-
tudes, the train was brought to Chi
cago and sold to a variety theater
manager for $1,000 cash. He broke it
I'D and peddled off the cars ms at a
time. Fragments Of the old outfit are
now wandering about through obscure
country towns, piloted by fy-by-nisht
showmen, with all sorts of strange
freaks. That was the end of the great
rolling palaces that are still distinctly
remembered in scores of smaller
southern cities. 1t was 4 grotesque

CoIors In Lake Water.
The lake of Geneva, at the western
end of Switzerland, is blue, while Of
the lake Of Constance, at the eastern
end Of Switzerland. is green. Blueness
Implies purity, since the natural color
of water is blue. A green lake has its
water slightly clouded with impurities,
which may be exceedingly fine parti-
cles, separately invisible. Prof. Spring
of the university of Liege says greer
lakes sometimes become absolutely
colorless for a time. and he has found
that this SUDDEN change of hue is due to
the washing into the lakes of mud
colored red by oxide Of iron. Red is
complementary to green, and the result
of the mixture is that the green color
of the water becomes fer the time be-
ing neutralized.
