FREIGHT CAR BROKE AWAY Fecuhar Happening Hailed as Something Particularly New in History of Railroading. The Erie railroad has demonstrated the practicability of a theory that a freight train may lose a car from Its midst and keep to Its schedule with Its crew In ignorance of their loss, and Ed Mott, of Goshen, the local historian, Is happy. For a generation Mott has been telling folks of an Erie train that left Susquehanna In the winter of 1855 with 15 cars of cattle. At Port Jervis one oar was missing. It had disappeared from the middle of the train without leaving broken couplings or other traces of the manner of Its ejectment. Two days later the missing car was found In a field near the track at Shohola. It was empty. The cattle It had held were recovered In Sullivan county. New York. They had freed themselves from the ear and crossed the Delaware river on the Ice. Engineer Albert O. Roberts was driving a train to New York last Sunday morning. At West Tuxedo ulr brake trouble led to the discovery that the fourteenth ear was missing. The thirteenth and fifteenth ears had recoupled themselves. Search led to the discovery of the missing car alongside the track a mile to the north. The accident of Sunday was exactly the same as the one which Mott describes as of sixty-odd years ago. except 'hot the modern form of brake caused the toss of a ear to be discovered more quickly than was the case In the old days, when the couplings were of simple design and the brakes were operated by hand.—New Haven Union.

GOOD EXERCISE IS MOTORING

Physician Seems to Have Made Out a Good Case for His Side of Argument. Pr. Henry Williams, in an article In Motors, combats the theory that motoring is reducing our opportunities for exercise. He says its benefits are threefold—physical, mental and volitional. The buffeting of winds and the inhalation of large quantities of oxygen stimulate digestion, assimilation and excretion. Tills is true of the person who merely sits, as well as of him who drives. The latter, however, benefits directly. Doctor Williams says: "When you drive a ear 4ii or 50 miles over average American roads, or a fraction of that distance In any city, you give your arms and torso a course of purposeful calisthenics that redounds directly to the benefit of your muscles and arteries and heart, and Indirectly, but no less significantly. to tlie benefit of your digestive organs of eiirnlnatlon ns well as the nervous system.”

New t ood Plant. Hen. Carlos F. Prestlnnry has just ) readied the United States from Costa | Rica, where. In the region of Guana- i ctiste he claims to have discovered it ^ new plant containing S2 isu - cent of eatable matter. The discovery is to be passed upon by North American experts, and if the general's claims are substantiated, work will begin at once upon the marketing of the food, which grows in great abundance In this central American nation. At the same time he divulged his discovery, he took occasion to express confidence in the future of his country, which is now passing through trying days.

Too Much Publicity. "I like the old-fashioned courtship best.” “How was that?" •'Well, the young man and his best girt sat on a horsehair sofa in a dimly lighted parlor and held hands, or puddled up and down a river In a ennoe, or strolled through the wlldwoed, or took a spin behind old Dobbin.” “And now?” “There's too much publicity In the motor courtship. Every dealer in gasoline and auto supplies within a radius of fifty miles knows what's going on.”

Wrong Selection. “What would you do if you had your life lo live over?” said the serious constituent. “I’d learn to play the violin,” replied Senator Sorghum. “The utmost cure 1 could take as to thought and utterance has not shielded me from hitter criticism.

Another Statue. With the unveiling of the figure of Gen. William Shepherd In the community of Westfield, Mass., a worthy figure is added to the Amerlegn population of revolutionary heroes whose memory Is perpetuated by a jiuhlic statue. General Shepherd, before the Revolution, had taken part In the "old French war,” which Justified Macaulay in saying that because Frederick tin* Great had decided to rob a neighbor. “red men scalped each other by the great lakes of North America.” He begun as a private soldier and rose to the rank of lieutenant colonel under Washington, and later commanded a brigade under Lafayette. Individuals have sometimes questioned the utility of public statues; yet in this case, ns In many another, the statue defeat the common forgetfulness of past deeds that has found expression in the old saving. “Gut of sight out of mind."

(Copyritfhi, mo. Western Newspaper Union) When her only daughter Lucille married Myron Bradley and went away to live In a rented apartment, her mother closed up every room In tlie house except two on the ground floor. It was an old, but pretty place, but it became lonely and gloomy dispossessed of the bright, vivacious girl who had made it home, indeed. Besides that, a thrifty, economical woman with keen business sense, Mrs. Clayton reckoned on fuel and general lalior saving, liesides having a definite purpose in view in behalf of the young adventurers on the sea of matrimony. The marriage of the twain seemed ideal. They were deeply in love mutually. Lucille was patient and devoted, Myron had never paid attention to any other girl. They seemed absorbed each In the other and no token of a cloud threatened the fair sky of love. The path of Mrs. Clayton had not been one of roses in holding on to her little home and bringing up and educating her daughter. Her husband hud j died when Lucille was only eight years of age, leaving little except encumbered property. His widow hud thought and worked hard to get rid of indebtedness and acquire a little surplus. She was sure of two material points when Myron Bradley wedded Lucille. These were that she had trained her daughter to full obedience, to accept her counsel, and that Myron really liked her. The policy adopted by the wise mother was to win and hold the love and respect of her son-in-law. She realized that, lonely as she was, denied tlie constant company of her only child, she must not betray her sentiments nor infringe upon the

new relationship.

Mrs-. Clayton set about eliminating herself from tlie life and struggles, the ups and downs of the newly wedded couple. She visited them only once a week. She preached to Lucille fond attention to Myron on ail occasions and treated her son-in-law as if she trusted him implicitly. Experienced and observing person that she was, she secretly followed the course of the marital life those two led, but never mingled in it or criticised or advised. All tlie time, however, she was placing a secure foundation to be prepared to win them more fully and assist them when tlie hour of need arrived. I'utlently and intelligently she awaited that juncture, and was not surprised when one day Myron came to her with a serious face. She welcomed him. “I've come to see you about Lucille mid myself, mother,” said Myron. "She , the dearest little wife that ever

Marconi Tells of Queer Sounds Which May Come From

Outside the Earth.

London.—Interruptions of the Marconi wireless Instruments hy mysterious undecipherable signals, which were noted before the war and have been publicly referred to since, are specially featured in tlie Daily Mall and discussed by Marconi In an Interview published by the paper. “We occasionally get queer sounds and Indications, which might come from somewhere outside tlie earth,” Signor Marconi said. "We have had them both in England and America. The Morse signal letters occur with much greater frequency than others, but we have not yet picked up anything that could be translated into a

definite message.

“The fact that the signals have occurred simultaneously at New York and London, with identical Intensity, seems to Indicate that they must have originated at a great distance. "We have not yet tlie slightest proof of their origin. They might conceivably be due to some natural disturbance at a great distance, for instance, an eruption of the sun causing elec-

trical disturbances.”

Asked whether possibly attempts were being made by another planet to communicate. Signor Marconi said: “I would not rule out the possibility of this, but there is no proof. We must investigate this matter much more thoroughly before we venture upon a definite explanation.” He added that the mysterious sounds are not confined to any particular diurnal period; they are frequent by day and night.

After declaring in favor of English, M. Carnoy wrote: “Tlie German and French languages have lost their place through the war.
