" *Pop, pop,* or perhaps a single "pop,* sharp and distinct, like that of a giant firecracker, heard not only on the Fourth of July, but on every day In the year, Sun­ days Included-- what did It mean?" writes a correspondent of St Nicholas. "And on almost any night as i look out of my window I see the edge of the wood or the fields lighted up by red or yellow fireworks. Why this strange Humiliation? "As all these queer happenings took place on the railroad a few rods from my house I made inquiries of the rail­ road officials, and here are some in- teresting facts about the use of these curious 'fireworks." General Superin­ tendent B. R. Pollock of the New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad explained as follows: " 'Our rules provide for the use of detonators (commonly known as tor­ pedoes) as audible signals and of fuses as visible signals. These torpe­ does are attached to the top of the rail on the engineer's side of the track by two small flexible metal straps, which are easily bent around the ball of the rail and hold the topedoes securely In place until exploded by the first train passing over the track. " 'The explosion of one torpedo ts a signal to stop, the explosion of two to reduced speed and look out for a stop ' signal. The fusees are of similar con­ struction to the well known roman cafl- dle used for fireworks celebration ex­ cept that they burn a steady flame without explosions. A sharp iron spike at the bottom end will usually stick In the ground or in the crossties when thrown from the rear of a train and holds the fusee in an upright position,, where it is more plainly visible. " 'A fusee must be lighted and left by the flagman whenever a train ts running on the time of another train or behind its own time and under cir- circumstances which call for such pro­ tection. A furee vn or near the track burning red must not be passed. When burning yellow the train may proceed with caution when the way is seen and known to be clear. Standard fusees burn red for three minutes, and yellow for seven minutes, and can be seen for quite a distance. "You will gather from the above ex­ planation that the red glare of a flam­ ing fusee on or near the track warns the approaching engineer that a pre­ ceding train has passed over his track less than three minutes ahead of him, and under no circumstances must he pass a fusee while it is burning red. When the flame turnfe to yellow, he may proceed with caution, only as the way Is seen and known to be clear, keeping in mind that when the fusee changed from red to yellow he was ex­ actly three minutes behind a preced­ ing train which may have stopped within a short distance, or may be proceeding at an unusually alow rate of speed.' ** Preventable Killings. Thp> annual slaughter by our rail­ roads is notorious, not only in this country, but throughout the world. Whatever percentage of this slaughter occurs while entering or leaving trains Is absolutely preventable, and there­ fore unnecessary. Many railroad of­ ficials have inherited their systems, of course, and they go on with the system as they found it. But this is a fatal rule at all points where trains and passengers have greatly In­ creased. What was safe enough thirty years or so ago is not much better than a death trap today. The explana­ tion that it costs money to make such changes as ordinary foresight requires ia no explanation at all. It often costs money not to make them, but in either case the money cost is wholly outside the point. The point is that railroad station precautions should proceed from care for the weakest and most stupid person who may wish to travel. Passengers should be assorted and handled as if they were all deaf, dumb and blind, and on top of that aged and Imbecile; in short, according to the German official theory, exactly as if they were fools. It is only in this manner that railroad stations can be made safe.---Exchange. Simpliftde Speling. Spel enny way yu plez.

In the last few years there has been » marked effort on the part erf the railroads to light more trains by elec­ tricity. Explosions of illuminating gas and fires caused by dripping oil lamps were the direct cause of this move­ ment toward electric lighting. The chief dangers of gas and oil for train lighting exist In time of seri­ ous wrecks. Time and time again this old oil lsmps have overturned, scat­ tering Inflammable oil about and set­ ting the train on fire. In cases where the cars are overturned and twisted about the gas tubes and pipes have broken, causing serious explosions, and the fires started by the gas lamps quickly follow the trail of leaking gas throughout the train. A leading western railroad has equipped all its through trains with electric lighting, sixty-seven of the best locomotives being equipped with Curtis turbo-generators. These little steam turbines, which whirl small but powerful electric generators, ara mounted on top of the locomotive boiler and take up so little room that they are hardly noticeable. Each tur­ bine gets Its steam from the main boiler. As all the coaches are wired and fitted for electric lights, all that is necessary in making up the train Is to lock the cable conections betweeu the engine and the first coach, an op­ eration that takes only a second or two. ELECTRIC WAGONS FOR ROAD Innovation Is of German Origin and Not at Present Thoroughly Understood Here. An electric train of six road wagons coupled with and preceded by its own self-propelled traveling power plant is Illustrated and described in a German contemporary, although no Informa­ tion is given as to whether the sys­ tem has actually been employed in practice by any firm of carriers for the transport of freight by read. The power-generating wagon le equipped with two dynamos driven by gasoline engines, and an electric mo­ tor is provided for driving each of the two axles. The six trailing wagons have a capacity of from five to five and one-half tons each, or s total of from 30 to S3 tons, and the speed of the train is given at from seven and one-half to nine and three- quarters miles an hour. Each of these wagons has also two driving motors, one for each axle, so that all of the axles throughout the train are elec­ trically operated. The tires of the vehicles are very broad so as to en­ able the train to travel over prac­ tically any kind of road, and the cost of operation is said to be very low. The train is steered from the driver's wagon.--Popular Mechanics. Only Woman Train Despatches The unusual distinction of being the only woman to handle trains in this country belongs to Mrs. Jennie Connor of Melrose Highlands, a suburb of Boston. She is employed by the Boston and Maine and is well known to thousands of railroad em­ ployes throughout the four states in which the road operates. Not only is she a good train de­ spatches but she also knows the com­ plete construction of the locomotives in use today. It is believed by the four hundred and more engineers who report to her that she knows more about the construction of the big engines than do m^st of the men who assisted in their construction. Mrs. Connor has charge of all the engines used on the northern di­ vision of the road, and this has led her to take up the study of the moguls, with a result that has been amating. Mrs. Connor believes that work for women Is a great preventive for di­ vorce and nervous prostration. Locomotive Blew Out the Fire. Using a locomotive engine to extin­ guish the flames in a burning build­ ing is a new departure in Lindsborg, but this is what happened here. On the outskirts of the city a Mexi­ can hut situated about thirty-flve feet from the Missouri tracks caught flre, and being out of reach of the fire de­ partment it became the duty of the man nearest the blase to at least make an attempt to put out the flre. The Missouri Pacific's engine was standing idle on the tracks and had on plenty of steam. The engineer saw the fire and steamed up to a point opposite the burning building, turned on all his steam and blew the fire out in a few minutes. The steam smothered the flre--Lindsborg Corre­ spondence Topeka Capital. The Proper Countenance. The auctioneer--morbid and forbid­ ding. The bridge fiend--wistful. The waiter--tipsy.

A queer Incident occurred a few days ago as the Empire State Expres* was leaving Syracuse for Buffalo. A piece of coal suddenly hurtled through the window of a coach and the glass In the double window was shattered In thousands of pieces. One passenger had his wrist so badly cut that it took an hour to check the flow of blood. An eastbound passenger train was passing when the piece of coal crashed through the window, and It li believed that it was hurled from It* tender by the suction Of the two rap Idly moving trains. HOT WEATHH GARDEN WORK Pulling Up Weeds Whenever Found W i l l S a v e C o n s i d e r a b l e L a b o r Next Year--Care for Lilacs. , (By EBEN E. REXFORD.) Weed, and weed and weed again. In brief, pull up every. weed as soon as you see It. All the work of this kind done this season will save a great de^l of labor next year, for every plant allowed to go to seed will most likely be perpetuated by a thousand seedlings. Make a practice of going over the garden beds and clipping away seed vessels. The plants will at once set about making good their loss and as flowers are the first step toward the formation of seed, they will soon pro­ duce a new crop of blossoms. In this way make almost constant bloomers of kinds that won't bloom but once during the season if al­ lowed to follow out their own in­ clinations. Keep the ground about the lilac bushes mowed or hoed closely. If this is done the suckers about this plant of which so much complaint Is made, will cause no more trouble than ordinary weeds. It Is waen they are allowed to grow for a sea­ son that the trouble begins. There­ fore, keep them down from the start and you will have nothing to coin- plain of. A place without the lilacs would be one that failed to live up to the privileges warranted. I con­ sider the Iliac one of our very best shrubs. SURE TO DESTROY WEEDS Ingenious Implements Arranged to Allow Injection of Liquid Around Roots of Plants. A most Ingenious implement for destroying weeds has been Invented by a Washington man. A rod has a sharp metal point at one end and Sure Weed Destroyer. a reservoir extending out from it just above this point, which is hol­ low and has an opening at the bot­ tom. The reservoir has a discbarge spout leading Into the hollow point and a rubber bulb, by means of pres­ sure on which the contents of the reservoir are discharged through the spout This reservoir Is filled with tobacco Juice or some other liquid that will kill plant life. The garden­ er then Inserts the point at the root of a weed and presses on the rub­ ber bulb with his foot An injection is thus Bquirted on the roots of the weed, which soon kills it Compare this method with the laborious sys­ tem of pulling weeds up, one by one, and tearing up the turf Into the bar­ gain--to say nothing of the wear and tear oh the only back youH ever have. STACKING HAY FROM WAGONS Trolley May Be Arranged to Do the Work in Fields Where There Is Much Hay to Be Piled. The accompanying illustration shows how to make a trolley stacker that will do service in the field where there is much hay to be stacked.

It may be made any length, according to the requirements of the farm. / % /J Trolley Hay Stacker.

BALE YOUR HAY THIS YEAR Kept Compact, Is Easy to Handle and Takes Up Comparatively Llttie Room--Aiwaya Clean. Loose hay is so bulky that it takes up five or six times the barn space of baled hay. Loose hay quickly gathers dust--which causes cough­ ing of stock and perhaps disease. The whole outside of a stack of loo: J hay Is practically wasted by wind, rain, sun 'and the other elements. This often amounts to 20 per cent of the stack. Loose hay can not be shipped far, and the local dealer knows It So he pays you his price, and, you sell because you know that your loose hay must be sold near home. Baled hay Is compact--easy to handle--takes up comparatively lit­ tle space, so can be stored until prices reach the top, when you can sell anywhere, distance does not mat­ ter much. Baled hay is always clean and fresh, loses none of Its nutritive qualities, and there is no waste. Grub Worms. Under no circumstances should you use the same garden spot again until you have rid the soil of the worms and grubs. To do this plow the land, roll, drag and roll again to hold the moisture so all |the weeds will start to grow. Then give It another thor­ ough working. In September go over the ground again making sure all weeds are de­ stroyed, and next spring you may again use the space for a garden. Loosening the Soli. Loosening of the soil on the sur* face forms a mulch which conserves the moisture and also offers the most favorable conditions to pack and store rainfall. The soil is also aerat­ ed. The foul gases arising from de­ caying organic matter are removed and oxygen Is supplied to the grow­ ing plants. More than this, the fer­ tility of the soil is developed by cul­ tivation.

Silage settles very compactly when put Into the silo, and the pressure would approximately follow the same laws as apply to liquids. Thus the pressure per square inch at the bot­ tom of the silo would be largely gov­ erned by the height to which the silo is filled. If the silo is of stave con­ struction with hoops, this would mean that a silo 150 feet In circumference would require hoops practically three times as strong as a 50-foot silo. This because there would be three times the pressure per square Inch received from the silage. It is entirely prac­ ticable to provide for such strain. Cern Feddar. The chemist tells us that 70 per cent of the feeding value of corn fodder Is below the ear. If this be true, how much do you lose by feed­ ing the fodder whole when put in the silo the sticlk Is worth about as much as the ear, puitf th* eax has lost none of it* value I Remember that bees crawl up in stead of down. Extracted honey will candy much sooner than comb honey. The drains should tfe properly laid out and carefully graded. You give the weeds a big advantage if you let them go to seed. Send your honey to the market In as attractive a form as possible. When the crops begin to grow it's easy to find where the manure spreader quit The breeder that Is afraid of the real test of his breed will never do the breed much good. Some weeds have such tenacioua roots that the only way to kill them is to pull them up. ' One of the chief causes for alfalfa failure is that the young plants are crowded out by weeds. Deep plowing is one of the moat effective ways of keeping a good mois­ ture content in the solL The automobile is an important addition to the farm equipment It is more than a luxury. Do not plow when the ground is wet. When this is done the soil is compacted into hard lumps. Old fence posts are worth more If cut up and put in the wood hoose than if left lying around to rot HE HAD THEM IN A CO I Clergyman** Rebuke to Thoughtless YwUf* >t Once Neat and > Disconcert I ng.

They pro­ ceeded to spend the time by telling stories and using expressions which, to say the least, were rather strong. When the barber pulled away the towel the clergyman, cleanly shaved, stood before them. So nonplussed were they that no one tried to take the vacant chair, and the barber called several times--"Next gentleman! Next gentleman!"
