RAILROAD NOTES.
Block system.

A new and complete ''b1ock signal
system has just been completed and
placed in service by the Great North
ern railway between Grand Forks
Junction and Devils Lake, at cost Of
about $4,000. The installation marks
a number of changes in the method
of handling trains between the points
mentioned that will work for the safe
ty of the travelling public though at
no inconsiderable cost to the railway
company. The employment of an ex-
ira force of from twelve to fifteen op-
orators will be necessary, as there
must be day and night operator in
each block at stations and sidings.
Heretofore it has been the custom of
the railroad to allow freight and stock
trains to leave station close behind
a passenger or other fast train, but
under the block system no train will
be allowed to enter block until it
has been cleared of all other trains.
For example: "A passenger train
leaves the Junction at S;15 a. m. and
a freight desires to follow it, This
will not be allowed until the passen-
ger train has cleared the block at
Ojata. Railway men say that the
system will have the effect of delaying
the handling of trains but they ad-
nit that there is much less liability to
accident. There will also be heavier
work for the train dispatchers.
The Great Northern intends next
year to extend the blocks further
west.

COlOrs of the BIuebird.

!, OF the male bluebird Thoreau said,
HE carries the sky on his back" To
this John Burroughs added, land he
earth on his breast" The birds back,
wings and tail, chin and throat are a
vivid blue, while his breast and tanks
are a chestnut brown and his abdomen
dirty white. The female is very much
duller in cOloring, often having red
dish tone that extends from the middle
of the back over the shoulder The
Seminole Indians say that the male
bluebird once flew so high that his
back rubbed against the sky, which
impaired to him it's own azure tint

II used to wonder why it was that |
noticed SO many young women Juggling
suit cases all over town." said the man
on the street corner. cat first thought
perhaps they were independent young
persons who were on their way to the
Grand Central station or to the ferry
boats to take trains, but then | no.
ticed them in parts of the town where
they couldn't possibly be making for
a railroad station, since they were 60
ing in the wrong directions. Now I
have learned who these women are.
Most of them are trained nurses. When
they leave the hospitals or their homes
to attend a case they pack their uni
forms and other necessaries in these
suit cases, which they carry with
them. So when you see young wom-
an carrying suit case and bound in a
direction away from a boat or railroad
station it's very likely she's a trained
nurse and is either starting out to at
tend case or is returning from one 80

Ants as Guests Of PIant.

The ants which are really protective
to plants are not those which obtain
their food, indirectly for the most part
through the aphides, from the vegeta-
BILE kingdom, but those which are real
" carnivorous. These are numerous in
temperate climates and their useful
ness to agriculture and sylviculture is
incontestable Thus the field ant is a
great insect destroyer. A nest of this
species is capable of destroying as
many as twenty-eight caterpllars and
graSshoppers minute, or 1,G0O an
hour, and such a colony is at work
day and night during the pleasant
season. In the arid plains of America
the beneficent work of ants is revealed
in the isles of verdure around their
hills. There are plants hospitable tC
ants, which furnish them shelter and
often food, within the cavities of which
the instincts of the ants prompt them
to take their abode. This is the case
with several ferns, among them the
Polypodium nectarferum, the sterile
fronds of which bear hectares on their
lower face and are moreover. of a
shape favorable to sheltering the in
sect.

The World as IT Is.

A world without mistakes and with
out suffering would be world without
real men and women, without litera-
ture, without music, without painting
or sculpture and without love, and
even without history, for history is a
record of struggles toward better and
higher things. Without obstacles to
overcome and errors to correct men
and women would lapse to level with
beasts in mentality. Intellectual and
spiritual development would cease and
souls not refined by the fire of ordeals
would die of something akin to fatty
degeneration. The races would perish
of ennui or inanity. After all, it's a
pretty fair sort of world as it stands
