jamestown Nun would Make Use of
the Sound Waves.
Captain L. 2. Gotham of jamestown,
n. Y, announces an important inyen-
ton OF his own. which. he claims, has
been thoroughly tested, that promises
to do away with signal towers and
wires for signaling trains along rail-
ways. The invention makes use of
the sound waves as discovered by Mar
conf.
The signal Is a small and inexpensive
instrument carried In the cab of the To-
comotiye. The instrument has lever
by which the engineer can adjust his
locomotive to the tracks on which he
is travelling. IL 1t Is one track road,
all Instruments are adjusted alike; II
there are two or more tracks, the en-
gineer adjusts his machine to the diff
ferent tracks by moving lever.
When the instrument is properly adj
justed, Captain Gotham claims 1t will
give notice of any other locomotive on
the same track which approaches with
in 1000 feet Of it by the ringing of
bell, and 1t will also indicate in which
direction the engines are running or

THE GRIP EPIDEMIC.

The Disease More Prevalent than Ever and
Quite as Fatal. The Best Treatment.
The grip has surprised the doc
tors and health authorities this season
by its rapid spread and by some novel
symptoms. While it spares nobody
it is proving especially dangerous to
middle-aged and elderly persons. In
many cases either fatal onset of
pneumonia, or complete breakdown
of health and strength, is apt to fol-
low an attack of grip.
The vie course for all is preven-
ton. By wearing Benson's Porous
Plaster on the chest and back you
protect the lungs from cold and chill
and with ordinary care) you are
safe from grip.
For those who are already suffer-
ing from grip, or from the usual win
ter coughsand colds, Benson's Plasters
are a sure and speedy relief and cure.
Highly medicinal and scientific.
Refuse limitations and substitutes.
Only the genuine are effective. Ex-
anime when you buy. Seabury &

heart put up with his oddities. He had
regular nights for calling upon her,
regular hours for coming and going.
regular theater and club nights, etc.
In fact she looked upon his regularity
as something admirable.
Things had been going on In this
way for two years, and finally the
great crisis came. They were to be
married. The day was fixed, the wed
ding clothes were made, the guests in
vited and the minister was engaged.
At the appointed time they were all
assembled. The bride was dressed,
the wedding presents were displayed,
hut the bridegroom came not. The
bride wept and tainted, but it did no
good. Finally some friends of the de-
linquent groom hurried away to see If
he could be found. He could. He
was at home in his room, reading as
unconcernedly as If he had never con-
templated getting married.
"What is the matter? Why don't
you come to your wedding?" shouted
his friends.
The maj OF regular habits laid down

The Seashore Inhabitants.

Very numerous are the shells which
the shores yield at low tide. Often II
happens that the shells that are picked
up have not come to the shadows by
chance, but have been flung upon the
shore with masses of seaweed In which
they were entangled.
The shells or mollusks are not only
beautiful in themselves; some of them
are valued as articles of food; some.
again, produce pearls, especially those
of warmer climates.
The scallop, of more than one kind,
lies buried deeply in the mud or sand.
Some Of these have been called "sea
butterflies" There is one kind of a
dark brown color, beautifully marked
with red and white. To get the re-
markable shell, which has the name OF
the razor" one must dig deeply in the
sand. Its shell is very brittle. 1t is
long, narrow and toothed. Below the
shadows, or in the mud, are many OF
the beetle tribe, which thrive in salt
water and hunt up worms. Some OF
them can nip sharply II they are an

They love to be near houses and

the buds were their meal and ON,
crumbs their dessert. They like to
build their nests OF roots and sticks in
an old apple tree. quite low down and
near the trunk.
One spring a pair of bluejays built
the nest so low we could peep in. and
we saw five eggs Of a greenish gray
color, spotted with brown. We were
very careful and quiet, so as not to
frighten the dear mother bird. At first
she used to sit near and scold a good
deal, but at last she would sit and look
az US with a saucy twist of her head
and sort of Well, what do you want

After many days we saw five little
b1lls sticking up in the nest and five
hungry mouths opened wide, and, oh,

them. Then took one OF them to the

He was not bit afraid. Indeed, II
