ENGINEER Operates Switch.

The engineer has a new duty. A
new type of switch has been devised
which puts its control in the hands of
the engineer. In this switch the point
pieces move in vertical direction in
stead OF horizontally. This means
that bolts, nuts, coal, cinders, and
other materials cannot drop to OBJ
struct the operation or proper closing
of the switch points, as sometimes ac-
cidentally happens to ordinary point
rails. The wheel f1anges automatically
operata the switch, regardless OF tho
engineer, when trains are passing over
l.. trailing on either the main line or
eide track, but when coming from the
opposite direction, or facing the switch.
the engineer controls its action, there
being incline plane trips in advance of
the switch on the outside of either
rail- where the fiange does not come in
contact. To operate these outside NOV
able flanges attached to the front
wheels OF the engine truck are con-
nected by lever with the engine cab,
where the engineer or fireman can con-
troll the switch at will, as in emerg-
ency.

Not Dangerous.

A minister's small son had commit
ted some minor domestic crime, and,
fearing the wrath to come, had hidden
himself in the barn. A vigorous
search was made, but his hiding place
was undiscovered, and as the day
passed on, his parents became
alarmed. It was not until dark that
the small fugitive reappeared, and by
that time anxiety had overcome all
other feeling in the fathers heart, so
that his sons appearance was hailed
with relief rather than anger.
Presently, taking the small boy on
his knee, the minister said gravely:
1t is true, my boy, that l could not
find you, but the Lord and the EVIL
One both knew where you were"
'Oh, wasn't worrying about them, !"
the unrepentant youngster responded.
They were not looking for me with
shingles in their hands,"

Pat and Mike went into restaurant
one day and both ordered baked mack

mackerel was large and nicely brown
ed while the other was very small and
burned.

mackerel?" said Mike.
"Oh, no, Moike. l could not think OF

large one.

Why Trepoff Resigned.

Here is an explanation, perhaps a
little too dramatic to be true, of Gen.
Trepoff's resignation in st. Peters
burg:
Gen. TrepoH went to the theater one
night when cinematograph supplied
part of the entertainment Revolu-
tionists had tempered with the film,
however, and the instrument ground
out moving pictures which led up dra-
matically from a meeting of con-
spirators to the murder of Gen. Ire
poff himself after the manner of the
taking off Of the late M. Won Plehve.
The whole thing was so realistically
done that Trepoff was terrified and at
once resigned.
