A VENERABLE PASTOR

This leads to partial loss of hearing,

and its construction and method of
operation are as follows: Midway
between the rails is laid light third
rail of the ordinary T pattern. the
Joints of which are so connected as
to form a continuous conductor.
Midway under the forward part of
the engine is hung the working in
strument an electrical apparatus in
closed in a square case or jacket oc-
cupying a cubic foot of space. The
instrument is connected with con-
tact shoe, which slides along the
third rail and by wires with a tele-
phone and electric alarm bell in the
cab of the engine driver, and red
incandescent lamp which is lighted
by the same impulse that rouses the
alarm bell into action. A further
improvement of the device sets the
electric brakes on the engine or en-
tire train simultaneously with the
alarm signal which sounds the bell
and lights the lamp. The apparatus
is so adjusted and arranged that the
engineer can at any moment. by
touching lever, satisfy himself that
1t is in full working condition.

to test its medicinal potency, but late

PeruRa relieved me of many catarrhal
troubles. Some two years ago

down to 16S pounds. and besides loss
of flesh | Was subject to stomach trou-
bles, Indigestion, loss of appetite. in
soHnia, night sweats, and fore boding
of getting my entire system out of or
