RAILROAD SIGNAL LIGHTS.
Proposed Adoption of the English
Syste.s, on American Roads.

SySte.s, on American Roads.
Among American railroad men there
has been controversy extending over
many years as to the desirability of ac-
cepting the English system of night
signals in place of the American. At
present white light displayed along
the line of an American railroad sigpi-
6es safety, all well, while a red light
signifies danger, look out. " and a
green light caution go SLOW. These
are the esta blished signals, the red be-
ing the most conspicuous and therefore
the best adapted for the purpose of Sc
curing immediate attention. On Eng
lish roads the red light is in use in
cases Of danger, but instead Of a white
light for safety green light is USED
and instead of green light for caution
a yellow light is used, the three English
railroad colors being red green and vel
low instead of red, white and green,
used for like purposes among American
railroad men.
The proposed change from the exist
ing American to the currep'; English
system has been discussed recommends
ed, opposed and experimental upon for
a number of years, with the result of
an apparent agreement among railroad
men that white is not ii suitable color
for signal. 1t is indistinct and is sub
iect to two other objections sim
ilarity to ordinary lights used for illumi-
nation and the fact that a railroad Ian
tern, if broken, gives out white light.
If, therefore, MS is argued, a red lantern
should be broken on one side and the
glass should fall out, it would emit a
white light which would indicate safety
to the engineer, whereas the real sig
niicance of the signal was danger the
exact contrary. Recently the New
York, New Haven and Hartford rail
road has made change in its night
signals in accordance with the English
system. and it is gradually putting it
into operation on the various divisions
of the road. The management of the
New Haven, which is one Of the great
est passenger carrying systems in the
world, has been making a study of the
question of signals and has adopted this
new system after a long series of expert
ments by experts. A green light is easier
seen at night than white one, and
yellow shows very well in the dark and
is easily distinguishable along the road
Moreover, since the adoption of the
modern method of electric lighting on
passenger cars white is the general
color for such interior illumination, an
additional reason why it should be dis
carded for signal purposes The objec-
ton to the change, however, comes
from the fact that railroad men from
long usage have become accustomed to
the present American system and that
some confusion might perhaps result
from the attempt to substitute one light
for another without general knowledge
of the change. New York Sun.

Inc brown Gun Tested.

The government is conducting a
series of tests of the Brown gun. One
of these was made at Birdsboro few
days ago with most interesting results.
A FIVE inch gun wasused. With smoke
less powder this gun developed force
of more than 35, 600 pounds to the
square inch. The gun was mounted on
an open railroad car. and so great was
the force of the conclusion that the he'd
plate of the mount was broken and
bolts two inches thick, which fastened
it to the foundation. were snapped off.

If you ask me the question. What are
flowers good for? answer. "For reli-
eious symbolism" Have You ever stud
led Scriptural fora The Bible is an ar
boretum. it is a divine conservatory, it
is,a herbarium of exquisite beauty. If
Won want to illustrate the brevity OF
the brightest human life. you will quote
from Job. MAN cometh forth as a
flower and is cut down. Or you will
quote from the psalmist, "As the flower
of the field so he perisheth; the wind
passeth over it and it is gone" Or you
will quote from Isaiah. "All flesh is
grass, and the goodness thereof is as
the flower of the field" Or you will
quote from James the apostle, GAS the
flower of the grass, SO he passeth away.
What graphic Bible symbolism
All the cut flowers will soon be dead,
whatever care you take of them.
Though morning and night you baptlze
them in the name of the shower, the
baptism will not be to them a saving
ordinance. They have been fatally
wounded with the knife that cut them.
They are bleeding their life away; they
are dying now. The fragrance IN the
air is their departing and ascending
spirits. Oh, yesl Flowers are almost
human. Botanists tell us that flowers
breathe, they take nourishment, they
eat. they drink, They are sensitive
They have their likes and disiikes'
They sleep, they wake. They live in
families. They have theirancestors and
their descendants, their birth, their
burial, their cradle, their grave, The
zephyr rocks the one, and the storm
digs the trench for tine other. The COW
slip must leave its gold. the lily must
leave its silver, the rose must leave its
diamond necklace Of morning dew.

The Result. of the Snow Storm.

The Result of the Snow Storm.
The storm of last week was undoubt-
eddy the most severe that ever visited
this section SO early in the season.
The loss of sheep, while heavy, was
not as great as has been reported in
some of the papers of the state. In
some cases where the sheep we're in fall
camp, with nothing but open corrals for
shelter, the loss has approached perhaps
$50 head for each band, but when
within reach of sheds the loss was com
paratively small.
The cattle industry has suffered prac-
tically no loss so far as this county is
concerned, excepting that naturally the
exposure has weakened the stock, and
some of the beef herds could not be
Geld.
The fact that SO many herders met
death in the effort to protect the proper
ty of their employers is the saddest re-
suit of the storm and was probably
caused by exhaustion owing to its long
duration. So far as learned the unfor-
Inmates number ten, in this county
there being two at Pondera, Peter Mori-
son and II. Herald ST.; four in the vicin-
ity of Choteau, Norman Bruce, a herder
by the name OF Graham employed by
the Cascade Land Co.; two herders
working for j. G. Quigley; one in the
vicinity of Augusta; one herding for w.
S. Barrett; and possibly one of C. W.
Taylor's men.
