New Safety Device for Railways.

The fact has transpired that there
is system of signaling now in use
on the Midland G. Great Eastern rail
ways which, had it been in operation
at Mallerstang, would have prevented
the deplorable disaster at Aisgill,
says the London Mail.
After the Shrewsbury accident Colo
mel Yorke recommended that detona-
tors should be attached to signals, so
that when the latter are at danger the
detonator is ON the rail and will eX.
plode when the signal is overrun. 1t
is claimed for the appliance referred
to that it fully meets this recon.
mendation. The detonator placer is
attached to the signal When the sig,
nal is against the driver the detona
tor is placed on the rail automatically
and should the driver for any reason
overrun the signal the explosion which
follows is bound to call his attention
to the fact. When the signal gives
line clear" the detonator is removed
from the line.

Weather Siuns.

If on picking up your newspaper in
the morning it displays tendency to
tear almost on it's own account, a
downpour of rain is not far off. Rain
is also presaged when the contents of
a salt-cellar are in a moist and cloggy
condition. At such times your boot
laces have more than ordinary ten
dency to snap, and your kid gloves
will have cold, clammy feeling and
be difficult to pull on.
Even the walking-stick or umbrella
will act the part of barometer The
handles before rain will reveal a
slight deposit of moisture and be
sticky to the touch. In this way the
question whether it is the wiser to
take walking-stick or umbrella on
leaving home will be settled for the
observant person by an inspection of
the articles themselves. - Glasgow

OF GREAT USE IN
BREAKING UP COLDS
Kellogg's TasteIess Castor Oil is
A Thing Long Desired.

Every one knows the value Of castor
oil In breaking up fall and winter
colds, but most people have found It
too hard to take.
Kellogg's Tasteless Castor OIL does
away with this only objection. It is
pure, simple castor oil without taste
or odor. Nothing is added; nothing
good taken out.
In making castor oil tasteless, Spen-
Ger Kellogg & Sons of Buffalo have
discovered a secret that had evaded
chemists for 5000 years.
Kellogg's Tasteless Castor Oil works
better than the old evil-tasting, evil
smelling kind. 1t operates pleasantly.
without gripping. and does not upset
the stomach. Children take it easily.
Do not confuse Kellogg's Tasteless
Castor Oil with prepared, mixed or
favored castor oils. 1t Is the only
true, pure, tasteless kind. Sold not
in bulk, but in Csc and SOC sizes.
Your dealer has 1t, or can get it. The
public is protected by the trade mark

New Haven shares following the wreck
of Tuesday has raised an interesting
point as to how railroads are affected
financially by such accidents.
New York Centrars Park avenue
wreck occurred on January s, 1902.
That year the company settled claims
for property and personal injuries ag-
gregating $SS2,000, compared with
$76S,OO0 the year before. BY the end
of 1903 those settlements, however,
reached $1,O92,OOO. and the figures
gradually increased, until $2,466,OOO
was paid out In 1907. After that there
was a gradual decline, indicating that
most of the claims were settled in one
way or another within five years.
Pennsylvania has a good record,
despite its occasional wrecks. Last
year was an average year, with $685..

1912, including $4,000 for damage tc
