The old man sat In the round house in West Detroit wiping the stains from his weather - seamed face and breathed a deep glgh of rerelief. He had Just finished a hard a run through storm of excepviolence tional and was putting his pet mogul In Its stable for a much needed rest. The trip from Chicago to Detroit with the lung fan cy train, tlie pride of the road, had been fraught with even hardships, titRgi r, to the driver and his crew, lulling and fighting their very way ihrough the blizzard. Everything s emed to have been against them. The heavy sleet and snow made the rails slippciy und the coal refused m give up its quota of live steam. It aiis only with the aid of a pusher, nr auxiliary locomotive, that was in inked on over in one of the division terminals in Indiana, that the limited was utile to complete her trip to Detroit. And at that, she was several hours lute, which meant grumbling trom passengers, offifcHls and train hands and the brunt of it all fell upon the shoulders of "Old Man Conroy, the grizzled veteran who guided the destinies of the limited from his perch in tlie cab. With a final wave to the steel mogul, puffing and snorting there on the turn-tablawaiting the arrival of the liostler, the old engineer lit his pipe und went out into the storm to get acquainted with the "old woman and the kids again, as he said. God bless and preserve the engin eer! On all puges of history there are no braver records than those made by railroad engineers. We have heard of the driver, who, not long since, on one of the great trunk lines of the west, with hand on the throttle, sounded the alarm, and whistled himself down CO feet Into the murky waters and into the presence of his Maker; never deserting his' post In the plunge which was fatal to 63 out of 81 souls. He was found at the bottom of the river, his hand firmly holding the Ills compressed lips telling the lever story of his noble death! We have heard of him time and again. We have stood hy the driver on the engine in the hour of sudden danger and seen how a brave man would act when the grim reaper. Death, reached out his bony hand as we whirled past the door of eternity, so widely opened that we could almost hear the voices of those within.

M., PRIMITIVE FORM OF SIGNAL President All Hallows College d the Light of a Candle or Lowering of a Flag Guided In Early Days HARRY the Engineer. Train travelers delayed upon their Journey, anxiously thrust their heads out of the carriage window and watch for the fall of the familiar signal. When imssenger railroads were first opened, however, what they had to watch for was the withdrawal of a candle from a window, or the lowering of a flag from a pole the early danger signals of our railways. As an additional sand precaution, glasses used to be employed at single-lin- e tunnels. When one train entered the tunnel the glass was turned, and If a second arrived within the 15 minutes, it was stopped by the flag or candle signal. Later there was introduced time signaling by semaphore in three positions horizontal to the post for "danand ger," diagonally for "caution disappearing within the post for "line These positions being distincclear. tively Illuminated at night gave rise to the rhyme: White la right, red is wrong, Green Is gently go along. After the train had passed, the semaphore remained for three minutes at danger," seven minutes at "caution, and then relapsed into the "line clear position. . J.

Com-piegn- A citizen of Antwerp has put to test the celerity and homing jnstinct of the swallow as compared with pigeons, a London correspondent of the New York Sun says. He caught s swallow in its nest under his root at Antwerp, made a red mark on Its feathers and sent the bird with s consignment of 250 carrier pigeons by train to Complegne, in northern France, a distance of 147 miles. The birds were released there simultaneously at 7:15 the next morning. The swallow without the slightest hesitation made for the north and like a flash. The pigeons cir- dis-pear- ed cled laboriously around before deciding which direction they should taka. The swallow reached its nest In Antwerp In 67 minutes, while the pigeons took four hours and seven minutes to cover the distance. In other words, the messenger of spring flew at the rate of nearly 132 miles an hour, while the speed of the pigeon Veterans on Pension Roll. only slightly exceeded 85 miles an Of the 550 odd old employes of the hour.
