which he keeps his revolver, his Chi

sary. About the neck is a chain Of
silver coins, from which is suspended
a powder box.

In reference to engine whistles the
engineer has to be most careful that
he makes them distinct, with intens'
ity and duration proportionate to the
distance that the signal is conveyed.
Like the Morse telegraph code the
signals are conveyed with long and
short dots and dashes.
!. For instance. ,"O' stands for short
sounds and e. for longer sounds.
When an engineer gives a short blast,
co." thus, it means stop. The brake
man knows he must Immediately ap-
ply the brakes. sgzs =
Two long blasts, thus,
means release brakes. >>g5:s
One long blast, . - and then
three short ones mean "fagman, go
back and protect rear end Of train. .
This signal is generally given the mo-
ment the train pulls up at some point
not down on the schedule.
The code of hand, flag and lamp sig
nails are thus:
When q conductor swings his LAM
tern across like in figure (a) it is a
signal to stop:
Raised and lowered as in figure OBJ
it means proceed.
Swung vertically in q circle across
the track when the train is standing
as in figure (c) the signal means back.
Swung vertically in q circle at arms
length across the track when the train
is running as in figure I'D the train
has parted.
Swung horizontally In circle as de-
noted in figure (e) means apply air
brakes.
"a lantern held at arms length above
the head when the train is standing as

THE WORLDS MENACE
MCHAMMEpANlSM A GREAT AND
-. GROWING PERIL. 81
Recent Events in the Turkish Empire
Have Dire Significance for the Stu
dent-Ai,n Is The Conquest Of Chris
tianity. ssSi

There is, however, one quarter OF
the world, one nation, one people,
where and among whom war has been
an everpresent possibility for many
years, and is apparently now actually
beginning. We refer to Turkey, to
the Turkish people, and the followers
Of Mohammed, Wherever they may be-
The hideous 'outrages and massacres
which have filled Macedonia and 9th
er provinces of European Turkey with
misery and woe and terror for months
past are only symptomatic Of the con-
dition prevailing in every country
where the rule of the unspeakable
Turk extends or the tenets of Mo
hammedanism are held by any con>
siderable number of people. The deep
est most menacing and formidable
shadow that lies across the pathway
of the worlds peace today is that of
Mohammedanism says Leslies' Week
ly..
These things being true, sefch upris-
ings as that in Morocco, the fornid
able outbreak in Macedonia, the grow
ing disaffection in Asia Minor, the
operations of the Mad Mullah in
:Somaliland, the rise of the fanatical
Senussi in the Soadan, all take upon
themselves an ominops significance.
The recent predictions of numerous
writer's in English and French reviews
that We are on the eve OF terrible
outburst Of MosfemIte fanaticfsm may
not be fulfilled, but they can hardly
be regarded as purely ;alarmist cry.
1t is also to be borne in mind that
the Sultan of Turkey, the chief repre-
sentative of the MosIem faith, has a
standing army of over 100000 men,
and a reserve force for war purposes
Of over 100000 more, all equipped with
by the best and most experienced
military instructors that Europe af
fords.
Fear of death lis unknown to them,
for they are quite convinced that their
bravery and devotion viii be reward1
ed in paradise. At Omdurmal $4,000
dervishes charged down from the
western slopes Of Kerreri with CLINT
of sword and -spearheads to face the.
Maxim guns of the most powerful
army Great Britain had put into athel
field i'm forty years.
Another element in the situation,
more significant of coming peril than
any yet mentioned, lies in the fact that
Mohammedanism is increasing faster,
relatively, than any other form of
faith. 1t now has nominal member
ship throughout the world of 176;834,-
372, of which, 1T lis claimed, ten mil
lions dave been added in the last
decade.
Mr.. Bourne has ALSO described the
rapid rise and growth of the Senussi,
fierce and warlike league of Mos
lens, founded some forty years ago,
but who have recently established COL
onies IN Trip0li, Tunis, Algeria and
the cases of the Sahara, and are join
ing to their standard thousands of wild
and lawless people wherever ,ney ap-
pear Their aim, in common with all
Moslems, is nothing more nor less
than the conquest Of the Christian
world and the conversion Of its ,peo-
pie by the sword or otherwise to the
Wosjepa faith.

Queen Victoria's Experiences with
8efuddled Legislator.
An anecdote which has lately been
going the rounds in British official
circles concerns the memorable eX-
perience of a certain member of Par
lament during the last year of Queen
Victoria's reign. The statesman in
question is not one of those who are
most firmly convinced of the benefits
of total abstinence, and the evening Of
a certain public function at which roy
atty was to be present, found him in a
condition which would not have been
edifying to the supporters OF that
movement. The late queen was re-
ceiving the guests of honor, and it was
necessary that the convivial M. P.
should be presented with the rest. AS
he approached his sovereign Victoria
extended her hand for him to kiss.
But he did not kiss it.; instead he
grasped and shook it with vigorous
enthusiasm, while he scrutinized her
face with grave perplexity. .@-s

A fruit supposed to bear the mark
OF Ewes teeth is one of the many boz
tanieal curiosities of Ceylon. The
tree On which it grows is known by
the significant name of s'the forbid

blossom has very pleasant scent but
the really remarkable feature OF the
tree, the one to which it owes its

hangs from the tree in peculiar man

crimson within each fruit has the ap-
pearance Of having had a piece Bit

its poisonous quality, led the Mahom-

WOMEN INTHE WORLD
COMMENT ON THE DoINGs OF
~. ~ THE FAIR SEX.
The Tongue as Weapon Of Defense
why the lndisposition Of Rush In
to Matrimony-Hard to Reach a
Woman's Feelings.

Woman's tongue has been the Sub
feet of animadversion ever since men
began to rush into print. Yet common
humanity would allow every creature
one peapon of defense. !,
A certain clergyman has created
some comment by publicly reproving
women who came to church without
any hats. If the new woman con-
tinues in her present tendencies he
may be glad, some day, to get her to
church with a hat or without one.
A Chicago paper stated that there
were $500 women in that city who had
been deserted by their husbands and
left to support their families alone;
and yet some persons are disposed to
rail at the new woman because of an
alleged indisposition to rush Into
matrimony.
Motherhood has been exalted in
song and story, extolled by preacher
and philosopher. But let lone widow

The university of Grenoble, France,
has recently appointed young woman
professor of English, the first univer-
sity in that country to include wom-
an in it's faculty. This must be blow
to Mr.. Hughes lie Roux, who since his
visit to this country has employed his
facile pen chiefly in the abuse OF
American women.
Men have been better friends than
women because they have always
worked and played together, while the
intercourse of women with each other
has been largely confined In the past
to the agony of the "call'' or the more
long-drawn misery Of the country
visit"
In all the States where women vote,
the. percentage of women criminals is
startlingly low. According to recent
statistics there were no women IN the
state penitentiaries of wyoming and
Idaho, =only BIS per- csat%of atheainmates
were women in Colorado, 2.6 per cent
in Utah and 1.8 per cent in Kansas.
This at least shows that not many Of
them are jailed for election frauds

Explanation for Decrease.

1t is noted that the population Of
Sumner county is steadily growing
less. The county has lost 5000 people
within very few years. This loss
is attributed to the wonderful agri-
cultural prosperity of the region.
The farmers have made money and
invested it in lands, thus steadily in
creasing the size of the average farm
and working a corresponding reduc-
ton in the farming population.
There is one farmer in Sumner
county who own 125 quarter sections,
or 10000 acres, and several others
own from 10 to 20 quarter sections.

robbing the Stoclzman's state bank

has asked that he be returned to
