with jelly and rolled, while in Scot
land this day is called fallcn's Eve,
and here the cake is spread with a

New Subway Alarm.

A tunnel of the Metropolitan rail-
way, in London. which much of the
time is filled With smoke or steam, has
been equipped for its 1900 feet of
length. with an iron tube for giving
notice of the approach of trains, the
tubes to be agitated so as to produce
a noise, by means Of treadles, and be-
ing so arranged that it can be out Of
service when no men are at work In
the tunnel. 1t was found that horns
or gongs could be heard not over 700
feet in q clear atmosphere and much
shorter distance when the atmosphere
was filled with smoke or steam. A
galvanized iron tube, Of about three
quarters inch internal diameter, Is
hung along the side of the tunnel at
the height Of mans head, and as
trains approach or enter the tunnel
this pipe is caused to vibrate' lin such
way that it can be heard through
out its length. ~.

Thousands Have Kidney

Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

!. Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that

its remarkable record Of success.
An examining physician for one Of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview of the subject, made the AZ
tonishing statement that one reason why
80 many applicants for insurance are re
jected is because kidney trouble is 90
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
tions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease. II 10 on sale
