which had been suggested to him by
one of Flechiers sermons, but gener-
ally he had the nervous, tired look of
a heart-wounded man.
When Captain Shaw was coming
home-if, as 1 say, it was Shaw-rath-
er to the surprise of everybody they
made one of the Windward islands,
and lay off and on for nearly a week.
The boys said the officers were sick
of salt junk, and meant to have tur-
tie soup before they came home. But
after several days the Warren came to
the same rendezvous; they exchanged
signals; she sent to Phillips and these
homeWard-bOund men letters and pa
pers, and told them she was outward
bound, perhaps to the Mediterranean,
and took poor Nolan and his traps on
the boat back to try his second cruise.
lie looked very blank when he was told
to get ready to join her. He had
known enough of the signs of the sky
to know that till that moment he was
going home" But this was a dis
tinct evidence of something he had not
thought of, perhaps, that there was no
going home for him, even to prison.
And this was the first of some twenty
such transfers, which brought him
sooner or later into half our best YES
sells, but which kept him all his life
at least some hundred miles from the
country he had hoped he might never
hear of again.
1t may have been on that second
cruise-it was once when he was up
the Mediterranean-that Mrs. Graft,
the celebrated Southern beauty Of
those days, danced with him. They
had been lying long time in the Bay
of Naples, and the officers were very
intimate in the English fleet, and there
had been great festivities, and our
men thought they must give great
ball on board the ship. How they
ever did 1t on board the Warren l am
sure l do not know. Perhaps 1t was

LENGTH OF WIRELESS WAVE
Naturally 1t Is Four Times That of
the Aerial, hut This Does Not
Always Hold Good.

In articles of wireless telegraphy
such expressions as 2O0-meter wave
lengths, 600-meter wave-lengthS, 49,
000-meter wave-IengthS are constantly
used. In reply to a correspondent who
asks how the length of the waves Is
measured the Scientific American gives
the following simple explanation:
The length of an electric wave is
determined by Wave-meter. The nat
ural wave-length Of an aerial is four
times its linear length, just as the
wave-length of Il note of a closed or
gan pipe is four times the length of the
pipe, and the wave-length of the note
of tuning fork is four times the
length of the box which is reasonant
with the note However, other con-
sideratiOns make it difficult to measure
the wave-length by rule, and the
wave-meter gives more correct re-
suit than can be found by measuring
the length of the wire"

STEEL CARS PREVENT INJURY
Saving of Lives of Passengers and
Trainmen on Jersey Road Attrib-
uted to Type of Coaches.

Steel cars saved many lives the 9TH
er day when a train was derailed by a
broken rail at the Zurish gravel pit
about eight miles north of Newark.
OF the II persons on the train, the
trainman was the only one injured
and he sustained only slight bruises.
Both passenger and baggage car were
thrown on their sides and the locomo-
tive was thrown crosswise of the track.
The saving of the lives of the pas
sengers and crew is attributed to steel
cars, with which this branch of the
road has been equipped in the last
year. The wreck occurred at the
same place as that of September II,
1901, when II lives were lost.

ARCTIC ROAD is COMPLETED
Trains Have Been Run Over Thurman
Railroad to Snow-Cad and Ice
Bound Regions of Far North.

Russia's arctic railroad, known as
the Thurman railroad, is now complet-
ed, and the first trains have been run
over it to the Thurman coast, in the
snow-clad and ice-bound regions of
Russia's far North. The length of the
line from Petrograd to Alexandrovsk,
the northern terminal, is $50 miles.
The road follows the main line rail-
road from Petrograd to Perm as far as
Zvanka, 10 miles east of Petrograd,
where it turns north to Soroka and
KEN, both ports on the White sea.
Thence it continues northwestward
via Kandalaksha, at the most westerly
point of the White sea. to Kola, and

STATE LIKE A BARBER POLE
Illinois Landscape to Have Black and
White Stripes GaIore-Aim to
Prevent Accidents.

Hundreds of painters are at work
turning Illinois into huge barber pole
Or rather a series of barber poles.
Barber pole stripes diagonal
bands of white and black-are to be
placed upon all gates and barriers at
grade crossings in or near cities and
towns on all the railroads in Illinois.
The passing OF the crossing watch
mans flag is another phase of the
move to cut down the number of high
way smashups and fatalities. Instead
of red and green flags the crossing man
will be provided with a 16-inch white
target or disk on which the word
"Stop" is printed in fve-inch black let
ters.
The changes are in accordance with
an order issued several weeks ago by
the public utilities commission upon
recommendation of a special investi-
eating committee of the American
Railway association.

Perhaps this article may serve to
clear up the mystery, as the data are
taken from the standard Code"
textbook for railway men.
Red signifies danger"
Green signifies ''caution-go slowly"
White signifies safety"
Green and white signifies ''stop at
flag stations for passengers or freight"
One cap or torpedo on rail means
stop Immediately"
1.-TWO caps on tOrpedOeS or rail
means "reduce speed Immediately and
look out for danger signal"
A train while running must display
two green flags by day and two green
lights by night, one on each side of the
rear of the train.
After sunset, or when obscured by
fog or other cause, must display head
light in front and two red lights in
rear.
Two green flags by day and two
green lights by night displayed in the
places provided for that purpose on
the front of an engine, denote that the
train is followed by another train run
ming on the same schedule and entitled
to the same time table rights as the
train carrying the signals.
Two white flags by day and two
white lights by night, carried in the
same manner, denote that the train is
an extra.
A blue flag by day and blue light
by night, placed on the end of a car,
denotes that car inspectors are at
work under or about the car or train,
and must not be coupled to or removed
until the blue signal is removed.
Signals by Lanterns,
Lamp signals are made as follows:
A lamp swung across the track is
the signal to stop.
A lamp raised and lowered vertical,
ly is the signal to move ahead.
A lamp swung vertically in a circle
across the track when the train is
standing is the signal to move back.
A lamp swung vertically in a circle
at arms length across the track when
the train is running is the signal that
the train has parted.
A flag or the hand moved in any OF
the directions given above will indi
cate the same signals as given by the
lamp.

composed of long and short, quick
sounds. In the following table c

ROAD SIGNAL CODE
Very Few Passengers Know

Code.
coIors, Lights, Whistles and Motions
Each Have Peculiar Significance
Essential to Proper Move
ment of Trains.

The greatest civilizing agent n the
world, after the art of printing, is the
locomotive, and that term includes the
railroad and all it's appurtenances.
Without railroads, three-quarters of
the United States would now be a will
derness and the same is true of great
portions of other continents, observes
the Philadelphia Inquirer. Everybody
travels in the railroad, and Il railroad
train is familiar sight that never
grows old.
But how many of the millions who
travel know what the railroad signals
mean? The majority do not bother
their heads about the matter, and a
large minority vaguely wonder why
there should be so much footing and
swinging of lanterns, all of which is
no doubt essential, but at the same
Time very confusing to the uninitiated

RABBIT SAUSAGE IS LATEST
Farmsrs' Wives In Oklahoma Are Ad.
vised to Turn Pest to
Good Use.

Oklahoma City, Okla.--Jack rabtfo
sausage will be a new delicacy in Okla
homa as result of the war. In fact
a few farmers In the western part Of
the state last winter found substi-
tute as palatable as the real article.
At a meeting of farmers wives in
Kioka county, Mrs. Ida Gregory, coun-
ty woman agent, discussed the efficacy
of canning soy beans. One woman sug-
gested that the beans were hard to
raise owing to the raids Of rabbits.
This objection was quickly discounted
by another woman, who exclaimed:
'Keep the rabbits away until your
beans are foot high; then get shot
gun and let them come. Last year we
had jack rabbit sausage the season
through. BY mixing bit of pork the
sausage really is better than that made
entirely from pork"

Medieval Recital Sinners.

From approximately the eleventh to
the thirteenth century was the golden
age of the medieval recital singer, who
cultivated the art Of song as distinct
from the popular song Of the lower or
der. Troubadours, trouveres and min
nesingers haunted the castles and rose
gardens of Provence, Northern France,
Suabia and Aragon, Fastening along
the roads which led from one to an
other, running over their programs
while they scanned the horizon for the
next moated grange or beetling keep.
We doubt If the records of their pre-
mieres are preserved even in the yell
lowing parchments of dusty archives,
for it was careless age, without
thought of posterity, and hardly know
ing that 1t pays to advertise, says
Frederick II. Martens in Musical

their fowls after they have ceased to
be productive. although 1t is well
known that fowls of the heavier breeds.
such as the Plymouth Rocks, cease to
produce profitable number of eggs at
the end Of their second laying year and
that this holds true Of the lighter
breeds, such as the Leghorns, at the
end Of their third laying year. Con-
sequently IL efforts were made to dis
pose of all females when their best lay
ing days were over a large quantity OF
poultry meat would be placed on the
market. All poorly developed chick
ems should likewise be culled out and
used at meat. This way Of disposing
of Improbable fowls would allow the
farmer to feed his grain to younger
and more productive fowls.
Caponizing the cockerels that are not
intended for breeding purposes will not
only increase their size. but will place
a more desirable poultry meat on the
market. Another practice that should
be adopted more widely is that of fat
tening all chickens that are to be mar.
keted before they leave the farm. This
can be done easily by combining tho
birds for a week or ten days and feed
Ing them good fattening ration. They
will come to marke. then In better con-
ditiop, and the farmer will receive .
profit for their added weight.
