he did not lose his temper. why,
see here" he said Say we've got a
car on the end of the train that we
want to send down the track into a
siding. There's no use for the engine
to waste steam and go way down there
with it, SO it kicks the car off. The
brakeman uncouples the car, and then
gives the cut 'em off signal. There
watch that switch engine over there"
and he pointed out into the yards
again.
A train of passeng and express
cars was moving along slowly, when
the brakeman on the forward passen-
ger car leaped to the ground and
swung both arms forward and back
ward at an obliuue angle. First his
hands met, and then they were out
stretched SO that his arms made an
angle of forty-five degrees to the line
of his shoulders. The engine gave a
few quick puffs and then came to g.
stop. simultaneously, the passenger
cars broke loose from the rest of the
train, and with only a brakeman aboard
to manipulate the brakes they rolled
down the track, struck a switch which
threw their wheels into a siding, and
came gradually to a standstill at the
end of the yard
After the brakeman had explained
that the night signals by means of a
lantern were governed by the same
rules as the day signals, he added:
But what have told you wouldn't
do you much good out West. There the
brakeman makes a signal to go ahead
which would stop an Eastern engineer.
Once In a while Westerner passes
muster and gets job in Jersey City

himself and gives our stop sign for the

he can make himself right with the
engineer after that

hesitate to attack even adult human
beings.
NJ Benoist, the French traveller, was
an eyewitness of a tragedy of this
sort sort. The scene was The village
of FL Mharsa, in the Sail OASIS. and
the victim was an aged slave, who was
engaged at the time in carrying a jar
of water from the public fountain to
his masters residence in the outskirts
of the town.
Three huge birds attacked the un-
happy man at the same moments, beat
ing him about the head with their
wings and pecking fiercely at his eyes.
Benoist rose to fetch his revolver. But
the sheik at whose house he was stay
ing waved him back, and was both sur
priced and offended when the French
man insisted.
Let the birds alone" he exclaimed
with brutal nonchalance. 'the poor
things must eat"
Benoist waited to hear no more, but
rushed into the street and shot one of
other two thereupon flew away,
screaming angrily, and the unfortunate
slave, blind and horribly lacerated, was
led away by two of the crowd of ma
tives that had by this time hurried up.

But, unlike others who, in similar

1t is said that the Colenso reverse
to the British arms during the last
South African campaign was reported
by natives in the neighborhood of
Capetown long before the telegra phi
brought the news to the British author
tiles at that place.
The means by which the intelligence
had been transmitted with such amaz-
ing rapidity over so great a distance
Nor would the natives themselves
vouchsafe the least explanation of the
mystery
Yet it is certain that, throughout the
war, the vicissitudes of the conflict
were regularly known, with startling
swiftness, to powerful African tribes
whose black diplomatists were vitality
concerned with the issue of the strug-
gle.
That some such mysterious method
of incredibly quick communica ton eX-
lists among the black peoples is no new
discovery. Gordon's death and the fall
of Khartoum were known in the ba-
Zaars of Cairo, eight hundred miles
away, on the very day that they oc-
Cured.

In the same way the "black tracker'

A similar obstinacy on the part OF

themselves. I knew of an English
man who wanted to get job on an
American road, and when he was told
to show what he knew about signals
they thought he mustfhave been an ac-
tor. He Strengthened, himself up stiff,
and then stuck out his arms in differ
ent directions, like a Punch and Judy
show. In the American signal motion
conveys as much meaning as the po-
sition of the arms. With the English
it's nearly all pose.,l@z.s
What's the diff@snce between the
American and English signs to stop,
for instance 2" the reporter asked.
''All the differencein the world" was
the answer. "The Engiishman stretches
his arms sidewise, so they're out
straight, to stop an engine. To an
American that means go ahead. On the
other hand, the Englishman makes the
same sign TO go ahead as we make to
stop. When he wants the engineer to
cut 'em off, he puts both hands
in front of him. An American makes
an oblique sign with full swing
of each arm. The Englishman also has
good many more signs than we have
here. To US they seem almost unneees-
sary. He has signal to return to
former position by putting one arm In
front of him and extending the other
up in the afGsat an angle. He has a
signal for the engineer Ito FIRING his
train from a siding to4the main line by
putting up both arms obliquely We
have neither of these signs. I know
of only one sign that is anything like
ours, and that is the come ahead slow
signal, where you extend one arm hori-
zontally at your Side, and slowly shake
your hand. But you'll have to excuse
me-"
Here the brakeman made the "come
ahead slow" signal himself, and, jump
ing onto a slowly passing train, he
hung from step where the engineer
might watch his slowly shaking hand.

Condor is Ferocious.
Weird tales used to be told of the
strength and ferocity of the condor.
AS a matter of fact this giant among
vultures is comparatively harmless, ex-
cept during the nesting season. Then
both males and females become not in
frequently wantonly aggressive, and
will, besides, invariably fight to the last
in defense of their eggs or their young.
For this reason the man who aspires to
rob q condor'S eerie, accompliSheS his
task always at, the risk of his life. The
native Peruvian and Gillian collectors,
wary though they are. frequently come
to grief, while disasters innumerable have
overtaken amateurs.
One of the worst Of these, involving as
it did the deaths of two persons, oc-
ist named Gozzi, together with his guide,
set out at o'clock In the morning to try
to secure the egg from nest which had
been located high up among the icy fast
neSSeS of TupungatO, one of the loftieSt
and most inaccessible of Andean peaks.
After eight hours exhaustive climbing
they reached the nest. and were return

suddenly at them from round the corner
OF a projecting crag. M Gozzi fired at
her. but missed. and the next instant she
lad flung herself so violently on the guide
that the poor fellow lost his foothold and
fell over a precipice more than 1000 feet
high.
At this juncture the male bird put IN an
appearance. and the people in the valley
below who were watching the ARRAY
through telescopes, saw the survivor fire
twice at him in rapid succession. He
must again have missed, however, for
the next instant he, too was sent tumb
