HOME RECIPE FOR COLDS.
Will Break Up Cold in "a Hours or
Cure Any Cough That Is Durable.

Mix half pint Of good whisky with
two ounces Of glycerine and add one
half ounce Concentrated oil of pine.
The bottle is to be well shaken each
time and used in doses of a teaspoon
full to a tablespoonful every four
hours. The Concentrated Oil of pine
comes in one-half ounce walls packed
securely in air tight cases which are
intended to protect it from light and
retain all the original ozone. 1t Is a
product of the laboratories of the Globe
Pharmaceutical Co., of Dayton, Ohio,
and is guaranteed under the National
Pure Food and Drug Act. Don't use
bulk oil of pine or limitations Of Con-
centrated. They are insoluble and
work havoc to the kidneys. Any drug

FAST TIME ON THE RAIL.
Record of Speed Achieved in Various
Countries.

The New York World Almanac gives
the fastest time on record for dis
lance of over 440 miles as made by
the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern
railway from Buffalo to Chicago in
June, 1905, 535 miles in hours and SO
minutes, or speed of 5000 miles per
hour, excluding stops. Among the
fastest regular trains in the United
States, for a shorter distance are be-
lieved to be the New York Central
Empire State Express" between New
York and Albany, 143 miles in $50
minutes, and the Congressional Linn
ited," on the Pennsylvania railroad
which makes the run from Jersey
City, N. j.. to Washington, distance
of 227 miles, in four hours and 46 min
utes. OF long distance runs in France
one is made On the Northern railway
of France by the Paris-C Calais express,
which runs 1856 miles in 1841s minutes,
or fraction over mile minute, al
lowing for stoppage Of two and one
half minutes at Amiens. The German
Railway Journal in the second week
Of July, 1907, made the claim that the
highest speed ever attained had just
been made on several trips during
that week between Munich and Augs.
burg, on the Bavarian State railway.
The train weight was $50 tons and q
speed of 96A miles an hour was re-
peatedly maintained for a considerable
period.

Causes Of Railroad Accidents.

According to the records Of the In
terstate commerce commission there
We're 7,432 derailments on railroads
in the United States during the year
ending June 80, 1907. These accidents
resulted in the death Of SIS persons
and the injury Of 6,595. This was an
increase Of 1871 derailments over the
previous year, with a proportionate in
crease in fatalities and injuries. A
study of the causes shows that little
more than two-thirds of these acct
dents were due to defects in equip.
ment, the remainder to defects in road.
way. The trouble is attributed large.
~ to the enormous increase in traffic.
which In recent years has exceeded
the carrying capacity of the roads, ne
cessitating the use of every car and en-.
CINE capable Of running, and subject,

MAKE MONEY! FOR STATE.
Saxon Railroads Well Run and Pa,
Good Dividends.

The report for 1906 of the admins
tration Of the Saxon state railroads
shows them to be as financially sue
cessful ~ the Prussian and Bayarian
lines
saxony has about 100000, 900 in.
vested in her railways. In 1908 the
gross revenue was e7,6OO,oOO, an in.
crease of nearly 100000 for the
year. The total outgoings were
a5,OOO,O0O, an increase of s24O,OO0
over 1905. Thus the net profits to
the Saxon government on the working
of its railways for 1906 amounted to
the substantial sum of s2,6O0,0O0, or
over five per cent. on the capital. So

charges are easily met and a balance

AS in Prussia, four classes of trains
are run, and the workmen's fares are
as low as six miles a penny. Railway
rates are moderate, and equipment

restaurants where the ubiquitous Ger.
man glass of light beer is nearly al.
ways INDUCED in by the waiting pas
senger. German trains keep good
time here as in other parts of the
empire, but travel is not so fast as in
either England or America. That, Of
course, is characteristic. The Ger.
man rarely hurr:es, but he "gets
there" without fail, whether in science
or in business.
Saxony has almost precisely the
same proportion of train mileage In
proportion to population as we have

Sunday gave remarkable display of
rapid bridge building, according to an
English newspaper. A bridge outside
Harringay station over the Midland

two enormous Orders were construct

Orders were built under the old
bridge, and as soon as the heavy traf-

is SAFETY DEVICE
NEW APPARATUS IN USE ON
ENGLISH RAILROAD.
Shows Plainly to Occupants Of En-.
CINE Cab How Signals Are Set
Simple and Said to Be
lnfallibls.

There Is urgent need, as the ap.
palling Shrewsbury disaster has clear.
~ shown, for the adoption OF some
safety device which shall infallibly
make the driver and stoker of every
train fully aware of the position of the
signals indicating whether the line is
clear or INSTRUCTED.
For some months past the South.
eastern & Chatham railway has been
giving facilities for testing new ap.
paratus which automatically repro
duces in the engine cab both distant
and home" signals, as set for an ap.
preaching train.
between the metals for some distance
from signal box, and electrically con-
nected by a wire running over the or
binary telegraph poles with the levers
In the signal cabin. In the engine cab
itself, In front of the driver, is small
case about foot square, and above
1t a powerful bell.
In-the face Of the case are two small
apertures covered with glass, in which
appear miniature semaphore arms, cor
responding with the home" and dds.
tant" signals on the line. Two tiny
bull's-eyes of red and green glass are
above the apertures.
From beneath the engine hand two
sets OF oval Shoes" Directly the
train approaching the signal box
reaches the short third" rail the
shoes begin to glide firmly over, the
contact completing the electric circuit.
Thereupon the signals are instantly re-
produced in the little case in the en-.
CINE cab, and the attention of the
driver and stoher called to them by the
ringing of the bell. At the same time
either the red or the green lamp
glows.
Attached to the device is tele-
phone by which, when the train has
been stopped by the signal, the driver
can communicate with the signalman
in his cabin.
In front of the signalman are green
and red lights, corresponding to those
in the cab, and corresponding bell
in his cabin rings simultaneously with
the bell on the engine. one Of the
lights glowing and the bell dinging
till the train has passed over the
third" rail. E
Owing to the infallible reproduction
of the signals in the engine cab, it is
claimed that train could proceed at
high speed in the densest fog in per-
feet safety.
One Of the engines running daily on
the branch line between Norwood
Junction and Bohemian Junction, on
the Southeastern & Chatham railway,
and the Beckhenham Junction signal
box have been equipped with this re-
markable apparatus, and shot lengths
OF third" rail have been laid down.
Experimental operation has proved en-
tirely successful. Perhaps the board
OF trade, now that such a system has
been apparently brought to perfect
ton. will insist that it, or something
like It. should be adopted by every
railway company.-London Mail.
