Wartime Incident Recalled.

They were talking on a recent
evening of condolences. Finally after
the rehearsal of several more or less
strange happenings, middle aged
man, who had been an attentive lis
terer, said:
Il had last autumn the strangest
coincidence of my life. When boy,
and during the civil war l lived with
my parents on the south shore of
Staten Island. Just across the Mar
lows was Fort Lafayette, where many
ITisoners were confined. One hot
July day, a short time after the bloody
battle of Antietam, l rowed in boat
across the Narrows with two young
companions and approached the fort,
which, as you know, occupies a small
island a few hundred yards from Long
Island shore. 1t was always a tempta-
ton to boys to see how near the SEN
tries who patrolled the walk around
the island would let them approach.
On this day the two sentries on guard
happened to have both walked on
their respective rounds but out of
sight, so we were able to get close up
underneath the island and near the
fort.
"A prisoner thrust his head as far
as possible between the small bars of
a narrow slit in the fort high up from
he ground and called out, What news
of the war, boys?' We called out the
the story in brief of the battle of An
tietam, of which our fathers had told
us that morning. Just then one of the
sentries appeared, leveled his musket
end shouted to us to keep off.
Last autumn am now a man of

Automatic Coupler for Airbrakes.
On a model of a recently invented
automatic buffer coupling attached to
two model cars now being exhibited
in London the coupling not only con-
meets the vehicles. but at the same
time couples the air brakes. The out
standing feature of the invention is
that no lever is required to complete
the act of coupling, the whole opera
ton being perfectly automatic. The
attachment has both an up and down
and a lateral movment, thus adaptine
itself to loaded or empty cars and to
sharp curves The model, in fact
shows the cars on a two chain curve,
more acute than any English or CONT
mental curves in existence 1t is also
said no alteration in the general con-
struction of rolling stock is necessary
to af1x the attachment to present

means can be devised to relieve them,
or, at least. distribute the strain
among muscles better able to resist it.
The attachment consists of a wrist

movement of the hammer within the
