The really grave fault in the present arrangement of railway signals, argues George M. Stratton, the Johns Hop kins University authority, is not that the signals are changed twice daily, but that the alternate sets are of inn menSely different value, and the worse signals are in force during the very period of greatest danger. Prof Strat- ton will discuss in detail, in an article In the May Century on Railway Dis asters at Night, " the dangers of the color system of signals. with sugges- tions for change of system, which, he believes, IS so far superior, psycholog- 1cally. to the present one, that it's adoption would minimize railroad dis asters. His argument is: ITO take the responsibility for the travellers safety away from the color faculty and entrust it to the space sense, is, then, the plain dictate of science. And this could be accomplished simply by mak- ing at night the vane of the semaphore luminous. AS, in our cities, lights are arranged in lines and letters to catch the attention, so here the signal could become fiery arm pointing outward or down or, if need be, midway between these directions, at will. Such line of fire, would be strikingly different from the usual lights of buildings or of streets. It would also, both in qual- 1ty and in form, stand out entirely dis t1nct from all the colored lights whose

use upon the railway it may, in the end, seem wise to continue for pur- poses other than the block signal. A
 continuous line of light, moreover,
 would be visible at a far greater dis tance than is the present single light. The glowing signal lights would best be white, and of course should not change in tint in order to convey their message. This would at once remove all need of discerning whether the line burned white or green or red, with all the risk which the distinction brings. ''

Ten good reasons for buying at home are given in a circular issued by the merchants of Laingsburg, Mich., and perhaps some of our readers will think similar plan. The circular contains the advertisement of several mer- chants, information about the relig- ious, commercial and financial insti- tutions of the town and is very at tractive. The reasons given are good and are as follows:
 Because: You examine you purchase and are assured of satisfaction before investing your money.
 Because: Your home merchant is always ready and willing to make right any error or any defective article pur- chased of him.
 Because: When you are sick or for any reason it is necessary for you to ask for credit, you can go to the local merchant. Could you ask it of a mail order house?
 Because: If a merchant is willing to extend you credit you should give him
 Because: Your home merchant pays local taxes and exerts every effort to build and better your market, thus in- creasing both the value of city and country property.
 does not tighten your tax or in any way help the value of your property.
 Because: The mail-Order merchant does nothing for the benefit of markets or real estate values.
 Because: If your town is good enough to live in it is good enough to spend your money in.-Gov Folk, of Missouri.
 Because: The best citizens in your community patronize home industry. Why not be one of the best citizens?
 Because: If you will give your home merchant an opportunity to compete, by bringing your order to him in the quantities you buy out of town, he will demonstrate that, quality considered, he will save you money.
