RAILWAY SIGNALS
"Fireworks" That Serve as Train
Protectors.
CODE OF TORPEDO AND FUSEE
Mssoagee Thai* Audible and Visible
Danger Sign* Conv.y te the Engi
neer—The Use of Pyreteehalee ae
Signals In the Naval Servlae.
"Pop, pop," or perhaps a single
"pop," sharp and distinct like that of
a giant firecracker heard not only on
tbe Fourth of July, but on every day
ID tbe year, Sundays Included. What
did It mean! And on almost any
night aa 1 look out of my ndow 1
see tbe edge of tbe wood j>i*T.ie fields
lighted up by red or yellow firework*.
Why thla strange Illumination?
Aa all these queer happenings took
place on tbe railroad a few roda from
my bouse 1 made inquiries of tbe rail
way officials, and here an some Inter
esting facts about ths use of these
curious "fireworks."
The general superintendent of the
New Tork. New Haven and Hartford
railroad explained aa followa:
"Our rules provide for the use of de
tonators. commonly known ss torpe
does, as audible signals and of fusees'
as visible signals.
"These torpedoes ire attached tQ
the top of the rsß on the enclneir"*
side of tbe track by two small flex
ible metal- straps, "wbieb ■bse «oaily
bent around the ball of tbe rail. n*
shown in the picture, and bold the
torpedoes securely In place until ex-,
pioded by tbe first train fmmlan a\rr
this track.
"Tbo explosion of one torpedo Is a
signal to stop; tbe explosion of tWfc"
not more thsn 200 feet apart to 0 sig
nal to reduce speed aad look opt far
a stop signal.
"The fusees are of slmllsr construc
tion to tbe well known Roman candle
used for fireworks celebrations, ex
cept that tbey born a steady flame
without explosions. A sharp Iron spike
at ths bottom end will usually stick.
In the groand'or In the cross tie when
thrown from tbe resr of s train and
holds the fasee In an upright position,
where It Is more plainly visible.
"A fusee must be lighted and left
by tbe flagman whenever a train to
running on tbu "time" of another train
or behind Its own time and under
circumstances which cell for such pro
tection.
"A fusee on or near tbe track, burn
ing red. must not be passed. When
burning yellow tbe train may proceed
with caution when the way la seen and
known to be clear. Btandard fusees
barn red for three minutes snd yel
low for seven minutes sad eaa be seen
for quite a distance.
"You will gather from the above
explanations tbat tbe red glare of a
flpinlng fusee on or near the track
warns the approaching engineer that
a preceding train haa passed over his
track lees than three minutes ahead
of him. and under no circumstances
must he pass this signal while burning
red. When the flame turns to yellow
be may proceed with caution, only as
the wny Is seen and known to be
clear, keeping In mind that when the
fusee ( banged from red to yellow be
was exactly three minutes behind s
preceding train, which may bare stop
ped within s short distance or may
be proceeding at an unusually slow
rate of npeed."
The superintendent of ths Shore 11ns
division, snotber branch of tbe same
railroad, gives this additional detail re
garding torpedoes:
"When a train atops upon the main
line and requires protection sgalnst
a following trnin the flagman goes back
a specified distance and places one tor
pedo. He then continues a farther
distance back, placing twp torpedoes.
As soon ss tbe train be is protesting is
ready to start the engineer blows s
specified whistle signal, which Is a
notice to ths fagsmu te retain to his
train. On the way hart be picks np
tbe one torpedo, leaving two on the
rail to warn the engineer of an ap
proaching train thst another train to a
short distance ahead and to glvs ths
flagman tlms to run beck sad gat
aboard of Wsown train."
Of ths ass sf fireworks as *dgaal| fa
tbe navy tbe cblef of the bureau of
coostructlos snd repair of ths navy de
partment Washington, makes the fal
lowing ststement:

Geeen Manuring—Soy Beans.
- There has recently come in'o
the farm economy of the Stale a
very important new legume called
the "soy bean," an. Importation
from Japan, It seems. This plant
ia variously known as the soy
bean or stock pea and line ita
greatest development, with us, In
the eastern part of the State.
Thla is not only one of our beat
forage crops both for cattle and
hogs, but la, at the same ttine, per
haps, our beat green manuring
crop. It carries a very high 1 per
cetat. of nitrogen as well as a Mtye
amount of other mineral plant
foods and puts into the soil an,
abundance of organic nuttier
which quickly becomes active hu
mus for the nso of growing cropa.
Tbe Soy bean can generally be
grown to good advantage on land
too poor to grow a good drop of
oOw peaa.
Aa Mated above, the soy bean
is one of olurvery best green ma
nuring crops ou account of ita
high fertility value. A ton of soy
beau hay, aoeoniing to some ex
pert analysts, eontaina 46 lba. of
nitrogen, 13 lba. of phoaphat«,
and 81 lba. of potash. It ia an aaay
matter to grown 3 tonaof soy bean
hay to the acre on land of average
fertility.
At this rate, should the crop be
disced and plowed under then
would be added jp the acre, 08
lbs. of nitrogen, 26 lba. of phos
phate, and 42 lba. of potaah; or,
on a field of ten acres there wonld
be rendered available 980 lbs. of
nitrogen, most of which would
come directly from the sir; 200
lbs. of phosphate, and 420 lbs. of
potaah, both of which would be
rendered available from the solu
tion of these materials from the
surroundiug soil particles. In
addition to these amounts of
plant food, this crop would put
into the ground an enurnious
amount of organic matter which
would, of itself, liberate still
more of the inert plant -foods in
the soil.
The amount of plant food thus
rendered available per acre la
equal to that removed from tbe
acre by a 100 buahel crop of corn,
100 buahel. crop of oats, a 50
buahel crop of wheat, or a 3 bale
crop of cotton.

The tnanurial value of thia soy
bean erop turned under on tlie
tsasm pint ia equal, In point of
nitrogen, to 129 toad of f reah cow
manure; in point of phosphate,
160 tons of fresh oow manure;
nnd in point of potash, 60 tons of
the lain* olaaa of manure.
It would take but a few crops
of thia green manure to make the
land so rich In organic matter
tbat but little, or no, commercial
fertiliser would be needed and
what would be required would be
rendered much more effective.
Too maeh stress cannot be laid
oa the neessfty of tbe use of
green manure ia the improvement
of the soils of our Mate for, as we
see It, there Is DO other feasible
method by which all the farmers
may hope to improve their poor
land* and thus reduce tbe eost of
production of farm crops In North
Catoilaa.

"I suffered five years, with awful pains, due to woman

I could not walk at all, and I had an awful hurting in my
side; also a headache and a backache.
I gave up and thought I would die, but my husband
urged me to try Cardui, so, I began, and the first bottle
helped me. By the time the third bottle was used, I could
do all my work. All the people around here said I would
die, but Cardui relieved me;"
