The Maine Central has adopted a
new separation signal. The separa-
ton signal is a flag or light displayed
at a station after a train has left. to
warn the next train of its proximity.
1t is displayed five minutes after
passenger and ten minutes after
freight. The signal formerly used was
the regular red danger flag in the day
time and red lantern in the night.
Some time ago this was superseded by
a blue flag and blue light. The blue
and the red then meant orders. The
signal now adopted is that used by the
Boston q Maine. and is a green ana
white flag. The flag is equally divided
by the colors, and in putting it out the
green must be placed up. In the night
green and a white lantern are used.
The red flag alone now means orders
as well as a general signal Of danger.

BATTLE OF THE GIANTS.
Peaceful Augusta the Scene Of Boxing
Match Wednesday.

It is not common in these days to see
n real street fight, and more uncom-
mon than all is one that is prear-
ranged, and when the crowd gathers
to witness the event. Yet TINS was
what took place within the limits OF
the city, Wednesday forenoon. IL was
not a very serious affair, however, as
the two participants were but boys OF
under 10 wears of age who had some
disagreement in their play at school.
and acting with caution in advance Oh
their years, they decided to go 10 some
secluded spot with their packers anu
settle the question without chance OF
being interrupted.
They were scholars Of the Grove
Street school, and at about ll.5o could
have been seen followed by 20 or more
others of their size, as they went 10
Pray's lane, and there arranged for
the contest, which was for life or
death. apparently.
The contest began with the two con-
testants standing and facing each
other with their toes on certain line
drawn by one of the boys, and then
they went at the work in good earnest.
The battle was short and decisive, for
they were not evenly matched. One
was a boy nearly twice the size of the
other, but evidently possessing no
more grit They hammered at each
other with fists for a moment. kicking
scratching and striking. Everything
went Then instead of the police cry
they were told man was coming, as
Colonel Philbrook was seen. who was
in this case a man of peace, and was
heading to stop the fight. The two
contestants broke away and the on
lockers stroled this way and that as
the colonel looked at them.
Cries of derision arose from the fol-
lowers of each boy and each claimed
the battle, but so far as seen. neither
had any real victory and neither
was SCARED so but that he could face
his mother all right in a few moments.
That was not enough. however, for
the crowd, and several small threats
were made between the rival parties.
so that for a time it looked as though
the officers of the National Guard in
the State House would have to be
called out.

The whole top Is loose and can be re-

tanning a horseshoe magnet wound with

very much like that Of an ordinary tele-
graphic instrument. A close examination
shows an insulated wire running down

is in place, the steel plate rests directly
over the magnet This strange device is
explained clearly enough by its present
owner. ut Is q dice table," he said, ION
which a lot of money has been won. When
1t was in order, there was a good sized
battery inside, connected with the magnet.
current was turned on, and that made the
steel plate magnetic. The dice they used
with it had snail metal disks on one face,
and AS long as the current was on they
naturally fell that side down. When the
knob was released, they would fall any
way they CHANGED to come, SO all that was
necessary for the operator to do was to
keep his knee on the button and he could
absolutely control his play. New Or
