Primitive Station.

There Is in England a railway sta ton which has only one train each way a week-at Blackwell Mill, situ- ated midway between Miller's Dale and Buxton. Blackwell Mill consists of eight workmen's cottages on the banks of the Wye. They are occupied by railway workmen, and it is for the convenience of the wives who wish to journey to Buxton for marketing that on Friday mornings the 9:1O train from Miller's Dale stops at Blackwell Mill. The two uncovered platforms of the "station" are of the length of a coach, and composed of rough stone and gravel. The waiting room" is a platelayer's hut, where the trav- elers are glad to shelter from the keen wind on winter mornings. The train carries the stationmaster, who distrib- utes the privilege tickets.

 A man named Jacob Kitty, mer- chant of Dayton, O., took vacation trip to Europe. While crossing on the steamer, he sauntered one day into the engine room and noticed a device that mechanically recorded the number of revolutions of the propeller shaft. Im- mediately came the idea to the mind of MT. Kitty: "Why not invent ma chine that would record each coin put Into the cash drawer?" When he re- turned home he invented the first leash register" John H. Patterson w>,s keeping a grocery store in small town 80 miles from Dayton. He heard of the Kitty contrivance, sent an or der for one, and that was the inventors first order. The machine was crude, but 1t interested MT. Pat terson and he saw how 1t could be per fected. 'If it's good for my store," he argued, "why not for all stores?" Forthwith he went to Dayton, bought the Kitty interest out, and started the National Cash Register Co.,, which has now 1,8OOOOO machines and every year turns out more than 60,OOO cash registers.
