New Safety Device for RAILWAYS.

The fact has transpired that there
is system of signaling now in use
on the Midland & Great Eastern rail-
ways which, had 1t 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
Zine clear" the detonator is removed

Longest Railroad Run.

l see in your columns that a claim
is made by a Baltimore and Ohio spe-
cial train to worlds record for long
est nonstop run, the figures being
1870 miles in three hours and 55 min
utes, or 48.7 miles per hour. writes a
correspondent of the New York
Times. This is nowhere near the
daily performance of the 10:30 a. m
train on the Great Western railway

225 miles In four hours and seven
minutes. without stop. or SAG miles
per hour. The last 80 miles are over

the mileage from London to Plymouth
Great Western railway was longer
by 81 miles, and these 246 miles were
covered without stop every weekday
at about the same speed as the pres

COST OF RAILROAD ACCIDENTS
Run Of Bad Luck Adds Enormously to
the Amount Required to Main

This weeks new low record for
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 Centrals Park avenue
wreck occurred on January s, 1902.
That year the company settled claims
for property and personal injuries ag
gregating $8S2,000. compared with
$76S,000 the year before. BY the end
OF 1903 those settlements, however,
reached $1,092,00O, and the figures
gradually increased, until $2,466,O00
was paid out In 1907. After that there
was a gradual decline, indicating that
most of the claims we're settled in one
way or another within FIVE years.
Pennsylvania has good record,
despite its occasional wrecks. Last
year was an average year, with $685.

$19,031 for damage to baggage, $780,
654 for loss of other property, and
$173,500 for injuries to persons. For

record. For the same period New York
Central's expenditures, including low
costs, were $2,O68,OOO.
New Haven, with only half of Penn

600 for the fiscal year ended June 80,
1912, including $4,000 for damage to
freight, $574,00O for injuries to per
sons. The forthcoming annual report
for 1913 doubtless will show a heavy
increase in those items, as the COM

Sleeping Cow Caused Wreck.

A sleeping COW caused the derail-
ment Of a passenger train on the
line between Newport and Cowes,
England. a few days ago On round
ing a curve the driver OF the train
saw the COW lying between the rails.
Before he could pull up the first part
of the train had passed over the COW.
Then came a large DOGGY carriage
with less space between 1t and the
rails. 1t rocked from side to side,

hundred yards before the train came
to a standstill

FARMERS WEEK AT THE !.
AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE

especially in view of the fact that
it is associated, as regards time
and place, with most of the other
leading farmers organizations of
the State.
The advances made by Kentuc-
ky in the last few years in the
| production of good quality of
corn have been rather remark
able. 1t will be of interest to
many Kentucky fal lners TO know
that in the classes offered for the
best ten ears of white dent corn
at the National Corn Show last
year, Kentucky stood first among
the States.
The annual meeting of the
Corn Growers Association is to
be held on Wednesday, January
seventh, 1914, but the corn show
will continue throughout the
week of January fifth to tenth.
The program for Corn Day will
be made up of lectures and dem
onstrations bearing on soil fer
tility and other fundamental
qustions upon which the growing
of corn, like any other crop de-
ponds.
Besides the corn show, which
will include the cereals, there will
be in progress during the week,
educational exhibits and competi-
tive shows in horticulture, dairy
products and poultry, and a to-
bacco show. 1t will be seen from
this synopsis that farmers
whose larger interests represent
these various lines of agriculture
will be brought together for
general convention and for in
struction by noted experts, and
all has been crowded into the
space of one week, that those
especially interested in two or
more farm specialties may with
out great loss of time attend both
conventions, and others, if they
so desire.
The other conventions are
those of the Beef Cattle Breeders
Association, the Kentucky Sheep
Cattle Club, the Kentucky Sheep
Breeders Association, the Ken
lucky Swine Breeders Associa-
ton, the Kentucky Horse Breed
ers' Association, the Poultrymen,
the Bee Keepers and the State
Horticulture Society. In most
cases at least one specialist will
be brought from distance to
deliver the principal address at
the meeting of each one of these
associations.
The women's department has
not been sighted, as special ar
rangements are being made for
work in home econ omics which
will be of great value to women
who live in rural communities.
They will also be very much in
tersted in the poultry show, the
dairy products exhibit and con-
vention, and perhaps in the bee
keepers convention. A pros
pectus of this week of work is
being prepared and will be mail
ed free upon application.
A very attractive premium list
has been prepared for the corn
show and for the other shows
where competitive exhibits are to
be made, which will be sent free
upon request. Some may not
consider it worth while to send
such corn as they have which
has necessarily been produced
under very adverse conditions
during the past season, but it
must be borne in mind that all |
have suffered from the same cause
and the chances will be equal.
Those who cannot attend the
show are entitled to send their
corn by express with the privi-
lege of having it placed in compe-
tition.

ct is a common deluslon among dia-
moud miners that diamonds fall from
the skies in meteoric showers" he said.
There is some sort Of foundation for
this mistaken view. as the stones are
found In volcanic pipes or columns of
diamautiferous material, and the crude
idea is that gigantic meteors fell and
plowed these deep holes distributing
diamonds in all directions as they
passed But the so-Called pipes are
really the vents OF extinct volcanoes.
Ignorant people do not realize that the
chemical composition Of the earth does
not differ greatly from that OF the
bodies which surround It in space, so
that the same process of manufacture
under high temperature and at great
pressure which creates diamond in a
meteor has equal powers here. In a
