Eliminating Rail Disasters.

Wireless telephone conversations be.
tween trains moving at the rate of
forty miles an hour and the Paris cen.
trail station, which have been achieved
in the last few days, hold out a prom
ise Of greater safety for passengers,
as well as a considerable diminution
OF intermediate signaling stations,
says an exchange. Antennae con-
structed on top of an ordinary coach
were in constant communication with
other antennae between two telegraph
poles midway Of the experimental area
and enabled the use of telegraph
wires to carry the message to the re-
ceiving point. The voice of train con.
ductor could be heard clearly over a
distance Of fifty miles by the receiv-
Ing station in Paris us the train
passed each station or railroad sid
ing. The Nord companies are extend
ing the experiments as far as Calais.
Wireless signaling from Paris as far
as Rouen has been in use for several
months and with complete satisfac-
tion. Meanwhile the state lines are
considering the elimination of abso.

FOR HEALTH AND HAPPINESS
Quaint superstitions That Have Many
Adherents in Various Parts Of
Rural England.

In Berkshire, London Tit-Bits says
1t is stated that fits can be cured by
wearing ring made from the metal
Of five silver sixpences procured from
five different bachelors, who must not
know the purpose for which the coins
will be used.
Another very quaint recipe is the
use Of string Of blue beads or piece
Of uncooked bacon round the neck
as preventive Of colds and sore
throats.
To "cause love-" all you have to do
is to gather ten leaves of the hem
lock, dry and powder them. Then mix
it in the food or drink Of the person
you desire to love you.
For whooping cough take mug Of
water from a running stream, against
the current; give the child drink,
then throw the rest away with the cur
rent; repeat this three times before
sunrise.
To remove warts tie up some peb-
bles in bag with piece of silver
money and throw it on the road; who
ever finds the bag and keeps the mon
ey to him the warts will go.
The tail of black cat, If rubbed
over the eye, will effect speedy cure
ef stye.
For sore throat tie thread of
scarlet worsted round the throat and
also round each wrist-this is believed
in Ireland to be very effective. While
for lumbago we only need to make
paste of shamrocks (pounded) mixed
with butter and salt. This is rubbed
all over the afflicted back and must
not he rubbed off till the cure is per-
fected.
Great virtue Is attributed to the
briar, especially in cases Of sprain
or dislocation-the red-fowered spe-
cies being the best to use. A strong
twig is taken, about a yard long, and
split evenly from end to end. The
pieces are then held by two men with
clean hands while third waves his
hands over the split twigs. If all is
done correctly, the twigs seem en-
dowed with life, rise up and approach
each other till they touch. A piece
should be cut off at the point of con-
tact and bound firmly to the sprain.

Shackleton,s Last Letter.

No death of recent years has touched
the public with greater sadness than
that of Sir Ernest Shackleton. In this
poignant tragedy, remarks the London
Times, there is a deep sense of per-
sonal loss. Shackleton touched the
national Imagination; his vivid per-
sonality won all hearts. AS Mr.. John
Quiller Rowett, who was mainly re-
sponsible for financing the Quest ex-
pedition, says, "Shackleton was such
a generous soul-idealistic, impulsive,
ready to help anybody in trouble. His
last letter to me, dated from Rio de
Janeiro, where the Quest was refitting,
on December 1S last, gives a glimpse
of the soul of this great Briton. Here
is his letter:
rs. Y. Quest, Rio, Dec. IS, 1921
My Dear John: One hundred and ten
degrees in the shade! All the work is
done and we are going. The next you
will hear will be, please God, success.
Should anything happen in the ice, it
will have nothing to do with anything
wrong with the ship. The ship is all
right.

he didn't care for any more of that
