As the party in power has public

able that the leaders who are planning
rtvolt will be quieted with promises of

may be lets amepsble to such corrupt

Piraey's Romance.

Piracy is as OLD as history. but we
think Of 1t more particularly as woven
inextricably into the romantic youth
Of the new world. The word itself
suggests first Of all to Americans Mt
least such names as Captain Kidd.
Bartholomew Roberts, Captain Ed
ward England, Captain George Low
Their and that terrifying and dashing
buccaneer Sir Henry Morgan, and the
chief exploits Of these men were ac-
complished Mt the expense of the coast
Of North America and the much har-
ried shores Of the Caribbean. The his
tory of piracy Is full OF drama, stir
ring action and daring deeds, and it is
on this account rather than because of
Its darker side Of fire. murder, killing
and lnhuman cruelty that children
even today, years after the last of the
genuine pirates has been swept from
the seas, are constantly playing in imi-
tation of piratical exploits and that

A New Danger signal Device.

Warning sights and sounds on the
outside cannot always be relied upon
to make the engineer Of the mile a
minute railway train sit up and take
notice Of trouble ahead. Scotland has
its fiiers and is not immune to terri
Bile accidents. and from there is her
aided by Consul Higgins an electrical
device that whistles or rings a bell
at the ear Of the engine driver that
would waken him even II asleep.
The device consists Of a ramp" or
bar Of T iron. properly mounted and
insulated and connected when desired
with battery. The ramp" is placed
between the rails. and shoe fixed I'M
derneath the engine rubs over the
ramp for a distance Of forty to SIX

signals a whistle or a bell may APP
prise the engineer whether be has dan

ed that neither dirt grease. snow nor
frost can interfere with the danger
signal and that an accident to the APP
paratus will sound 1t anyway. so that

alarm It never fails to work at the
