For number of years we have
mad under observation a rust occur
ring rather abundantly on the COM
mon bean, especially the pole bean.
During the summer of 1908 specimens
of the rust were sent in by CORE
spondent from Grinnell, Ia, where it
was common and destructive. During
the same season the cluster-cup stage
was collected by one of us at La
Crosse, Wis.
The finding of the cluster-cup stage
on the cultivated bean has not hereto
fore been mentioned by American
writer's on economic fungi, although it
is commonly observed on some of the
wild beans. That this stage has been
found is of especial interest as it ac-
counts for the source of infection of
the cultivated bean.
This bean rust in its development
is not unlike the common wheat rust,
which has three stages. In the case of

but before he had got the narrative
well under way there was chorus

young man was politely informed that
his English needed revising, since he
should have used the word "unfortu-
nate" instead of Unfortunate" The
newcomer insisted that Unfortunate
was the correct word to use, and the
argument waXed warm. Finally. with
a show of heat, the young man who
started the trouble declared that,
while he had only a few dollars, he
would wager them that he was cor

that Unfortunate is perfectly proper

The energy mentioned above is cleo

Of one piece by connecting the joints
with wire. The extreme ends are then

HOW BLOCK SIGNALS WORK
Operation of Ingenious System That
Insures the Safety of Railroad
Passengers.

Comparatively few people know
just what is meant by block signals
when they read that railroad has es-
tablished the system on its lines.
The block is length Of track which,
on double track roads, has at its en-
trance a post and movable arm, and
on single track lines one at each end.
To say that line has every inch
protected by this system means that
the entire line is divided into consec-
utive blocks. Only one line from Chi.
cago to New York is thus protected,
and of the total in the United States,
one-third is on the Union and South
ern Pacific.
The operation of the block system
Is simple but absolute. In few
words, it means that a train cannot
move from one block into the next
until the latter block is empty. AS a
train moves forward, the signal arm
is set to show that the block just left
may be entered by the next train
following. When a train enters
block 1t so affects the en-

At night colored lights are display
ed on the same posts. The lamps
will burn eight days without replen-
ishing, but are refilled every four or
five days. When the home signal Is
at stop, the engineer sees the flame
through a red glass. The caution light
on the distant is yellow. A green
lights means go ahead and is used
on both the home and distant signals.
Where two or more lines cross at
grade the general plan of semaphore
arms for day and colored light for
night is the same, but owing to the
complications all signals are con-
trolled by levers operated by men
from a central station. The crossing
and contiguous tracks are governed
by the interlocking system. When
this is in perfect order and the cross
ing unoccupied, IL displays stop" to
every track approaching the crossing.
Any change must be made by the sig
mailman, and to display proceed" he
must fret lock all other approaches
with the stop signal.
