The weather is intensely cold and the

are many people sick here yet. There is
peculiar condition of the atmosphere

smoke from an ordinary stovepipe rolls
out in a dense mass and trails along
the ground, where it stays for hours.
The dust from the wagons going
through the streets never seems to set
tie. From any point above the town
one can look down on a blanket of
smoke and dust. l am satisfied that the
atmospheric conditions have a great
deal to do with the sickness

A Carson Invention.

win Wilson of Carson has perfected
an invention or rather an improved
attachment for the mandolin, that, APP
Piled to that instrument. should greatly
widen it's favor with the public. The
mandolin is not generally regarded as
soulful instrument. 1t is pitched very
high, ana the best authorities agree
that no hlsh tones are stricly musical.
Mr. Wilson has, however, adoed four
more strings to the instrument, max
ing all combinationes three instead of
ewo as ordinarily, and by an ingenious
Device tunes them one octave below.
The result is tone blending the quail
tiles of both the high and the low reg
ister, giving the spirit of the former
ana the sweetness of the latter. 1t
certainly makes the mandolin a new
'hstrument.-Carson News.

A Few Train Signals.

Everybody travelling on train re-
peatedly hears the whistle of the en-
CINE blow; but the average person is
unable to interpret the meaning. All
railroads use the same code of signals
Here are few which are the most gem
orally used:
One long blast Of the whistle given
by the engineer means that the train
is approaching a railroad crossing and
that teams near the track must be-
ware.
One short blast OF the whistle means
danger ahead and put down brakes.
Two long blasts is the signal by the
engineer to the trainmen to throw off
brakes.
Two short blasts of the whistle are
used by the engineer to answer to a
signal from the conductor. For instance,
the conductor pulls the bell cord a
short distance from a flag station to
notify the engineer to stop at the sta
ton The engineer replies with two
short blasts. Should there be no signal
from the conductor, two short blasts
mean "the train has parted"
Three long blasts also mean that the
train has parted. This signal is sell
Nom given on passenger trains, but Is
used on freight trains.
Three short blasts when the train Is
not in motion indicate that the engi-
neer is about TO back up his train.
Two long, followed by two short
blasts, are given for approaching road
crossings at a steep grade.
A succession of short blasts is an
alarm for persons or cattle to leave the
track, and they also call the attention
of the trainmen TO danger ahead.
