Eliminates Danger.

The Miller cab signal eliminates all
of these difficulties and errors, besides
furnishing the fireman as well as the
engineman with the desired informa-
ton. 1t depends for its operation up
on the same fundamental principles
as the automatic fixed or local sig
nails; it is less liable to get out of Or
der; it is not affected by climate or
atmospheric conditions; it costs less
to install and maintain, and works in
dependent of or auxiliary to the fixed
signals, and finally it places the infor.
nation where it properly belongs-in
the engine cab. The equipment along
the track is the same as for any auto
matte block employing track circuits
with their attendant installations, track
bonds, batteries, relays, circuit break
ers and auxiliary circuits, but in addi-
ton to this, at the block junction, a
short section of track is insulated
from the sections in the rear and
those in advance, and one pole of a
battery is attached to the rail section.
The pole connections of this battery
are made to reserve alternately
through the medium of an electric in.
strument called "pole changer" con-
trolled by track relay in advance of
the short rail section, alternating the
polarity as the relay opens and closes.
How 1t Works.
The engine is provided with an cleo
trio device, wire terminals of which
are connected to the track through
the frame of the engine and the track
of the tender, the tender being cleo
trically insulatd from the engine AS
the engine closes the short rail Sec
ton, the engine instrument receives a
momentary electric current from the
battery attached to the short rail sec
ton, and owing to the direction of this
current, the instrument on the engine
is influenced to give either the clear
or the danger signal. The signals con-
sist of two electric lights-one white
and the other colored, placed one
above the other, so that not only col
or but position distinguishes them
from each other, The current of these
lights is generated by a small dynamo,
run by steam pressure. These indi.
cations can be given at any desired
distance from the obstruction at any
rate of speed, and in any weather con-
ditions.

Resurrection of Coin.

A curious story Of a coin comes from
England. Since 1889 and up to a short
time ago, there has been lying in one
of the oldest Of London banks a sealed
package containing one Of the famous
petition crowns Of Charles H., known
fardliarly as the trial piece Of Thomas
Simon. Simon made fifteen of these
in an effort to convince Charles that
he could make a finer and more artis-
tic coin than could the Dutch. The
coin in question was offered twice for
sale, unsuccessfully, the last time in
IVA. The highest bid then was 20
guineas. In 1888 it was put away to
he offered for sale in ia years. 1t is
the property Of a we'll known noble
man and 1t doubtful that he will follow
out the purpose of his ancestors.

The recent incorporation Of the firm

who also form the legal number Of
signatures or founders of the com
pany Miss Krupp, the eldest daugh-
ter of the late Herr Krupp, holds 150
996 of the total of 100000 shares. The
enormous share capital Of the com
pany-in German money 100000
marks-is only equalled by one insti-
tuition in Germany, namely, the Ger

The poison of the Hydrophidae, or
sea snakes, which occur In large num-
bers on the coasts Of India, is eX.
tromely deadly. According to DR.. l..
Rogers, who recently described his
study of their venoms to the Royal
society, the poison Of the Euhydrina,
one of the most dangerous species, is
from five to twenty times as power
full as cobra poison, and to fishes is
fifty times as poisonous as the most
deadly cobra venom. 1t produces the
same symptoms as the latter-drowsl-
ness, muscular weakness, progressive
paralysis, failure Of breathing, and
finally commissions. DR.. Calmettes an
twenine was found to have no value
as an antidote to the EuhYdrina
venom.

 Along the southern slopes and table, lands ot the Blue Ridge mountains in western North Carolina, at an average altitude of three thousand feet, with broad ridges pointing off from the main chains towards the lowlands of South Carolina and Georgia, is country full of delightful surprises to the tourist, sportsman and health seeker, which has been appropriately named The Sap phire Country. No other state or re- zion contains so many grand waterfalls, such wide-sweepihg mountain views, and such beautiful lakes.
 The most interesting of the many at tractive features to be found are the Toxaway, Fairfield afd Sapphire lakes. Nowhere else in the south, at this alti- tude. are such bodies of water. All who visit these lakes are impressed with the wonderful beauty and great varied character of scenery. There are tower- ing cliffs, rising abruptly for thousand feet from their shores, and cascades of rare beauty, falling directly into the lakes from the lofty tableland surround ing. Some of the mountains in this vi 7cinity range in height from five to six thousand feet. Indeed, it is the general verdict of widely-traveled people that, in this respect the remarkable combina- tion and varied and attractive charac-

 A hot wave dominating the south and west is not expected to reach these parts although yesterday was warmer than Monday and to-day may be even warmer. The mercury sped to the 8C degree mark yesterday and the humid ity percentage also like proportion of 80, only 20 degrees below the saturatior point. This made the day muggy and precipitation flowed freely from the brow of mortal man.
