New Railway signals in Germany.

a signal about 40 yards before the signal Itself Is

OF an electric cab signal system which rousos the

OLD TIN CANS.
The Way They Finally Disappear From,
Human Sight.

The Way They Finally Disappear From,
Human Sight.
Few people realize what becomes Of
all the old tin cans, tin pans, kettles,
buckets, coal hods and the like. They
finally disappear from HUMAN sight
and knowledge and are seen no more
Science shows that they eyaporate.
When tim can is cast 6way and for
saken it begins It's downward course
by becoming rusty. The tin oxidizes or,
In other words, unites with the oxygen
surrounding it In the atmosphere, and
the oxide Of tin gradually takes leave
of the iron by eyaporating into the air.
while some Of IL Is washed away by
the rain into the earth. After the tin
is gone the iron of the can follows the
same course til 1t has been pursued by
the tin. II oxidiZes and becomes the
familiar reddish brown substance
known as iron rust The metals have
no wills OF their own, no affinitles, no
understandings. and therefore no iD'
tentions as to their present or future
course They do nothing Of them,
selves. But electrical forces do their
work for them. These forces unite the
atoms of the metals with those OF the
oxygen. Then the moieenles oil THESE
oxides are carried away by the atihos-
pheric electricity and disposed of &C
cording to circumstances.

Perhaps the largest crowd pf peo-
Iple ever seen in New Hampden at
one time congregated last Sunday
to witness the dedication OF the
new Presbyterian church in tina
village, The house OF worship is
one of the neatest. in the county,
and was built during the past year.
The cost of the building was about
ST, 500, and the comparatively
small balance due. on the day OF
dedication was reduced to some
thing like $50, a mere triAe for its
prosperous membership.
The presence Of DR.. R. H. Flem-
ing--one of Highlands favorite
sons doubtless had much to do
with drawing the crowd, not halt
of which could find room in the
church. DR.. Fleming preached the
dedicatory sermon at IL O'Clock,
and also occupied the pulpit in the
afternoon, preaching with his acs
customed earnestness and ability.
The basket-dinner feature of the
occasion was much enjoyed, and
there was an abundance for all and
to spare.
