RAILROAD NEWS ITEMS
Mrs R E Foe went down to Red
Cloud first of the week on a visit to
the horuefolks
Engineer Zajicek was working with
his engine Saturday when he told his
helper to open one of the valves and
by mistake he opened the blow off
cock Mr Zajicek was standing in
front of it and as it had 200 pounds
pressure on it struck him hard For
tunately it was covered with dust and
dirt so as to form a protection as it
struck him or he would have been scald
ed worse As it was he was bruised
as he was thrown against the tank
and not scalded seriously He is get
iDg along nicely and will soon be out
again Oxford Standard
Automatic Block System
Engineer William H Watson of Los
Angeles Calif who is here on a visit
guest of Engineer S Viersen is the
inAentor and patentee of an automatic
block system which seems to be the
most perfect automatic absolutely cer
tain yet offered to the public in that
needed line
It seems to provide for practically
every emergency and is attracting the
attention of railroad men here as it
does everywhere he exhibits the details
of the patent
It seems destined to be one of the
great factors in avoiding the accidents
which now cost American railroads so
much money and so many lives annually
Rosebush Buys the Plant
The McCook Cement Stone Co plant
was purchased end of last week by H
N Rosebush the well known cement
stone man who assumed charge of the
plant out on West Dennison street
Monday morning Mr Barger we un
derstand contemplates removing from
the city The plant in Mr Rosebushs
management will be in good hands
TESTING DRUGS
Ergotine Is Tried on Chickens Digi
talis on Frogs
A lot of sorry looking chickens dogs
and cats loafed in the black ill smell
ing yard of the great chemical plant
We use these animals to test our
drugs on said the chemist They
come in very handy They more than
earn their board
Ergotine is a drug we test on chick
ens It is a simple test If a dose of
ergotine fails to turn a chickens comb
black -we knoAv that the drug is for
some reason or other worthless
Hasheesh we test on clogs Hash
eesh is made of female hemp buds
Male hemp buds have no medicinal
value yet some dishonest dealers put
male buds on the market and since
they resemble the female buds precise
ly it is impossible to detect them save
by an actual test Dogs given hasheesh
get drunk and happy if the stuff Is
good
Digitalis the heart stimulant Is
tested on frogs We inject a drop of
it into a frogs stomach and in the
kymograph or heart recording ma
chine we study the changes that take
place in the frogs heart action Thus
we get a very accurate knowledge of
what our digitalis can do
Do we ever test drugs on ourselves
Oh yes indeed often Chemists have
lost their lives chemists have gone in
curably insane through too rash a
bravery in testing drugs on their own
persons Los Angeles Times
The Raven
Writing on Birds In Christian Leg
end and Symbol in the National Re
view Rev R L Giles says
The raven is looked upon with divid
ed feelings He is the bird of ill
omen par excellence Corvo di mal
augurio is indeed the Italian equiv
alent of the phrase and Ungluck
srabe the German one According to
the fathers he is the emblem of pro
crastination with his ciy of Cras
eras Tomorrow tomorrow His
not having returned to the ark has al
ways beenrememberedagaiust him Yet
he too is a pious bird He played his
part in the Christmas mystery It was
said that at the hour of the great birth
the crock crowed Christus natus est
the raven croaked Quando the rook
cawed Hac nocte the ox mooed
Ubi the sheep bleated Bethlehem
and the ass brayed Eamus This Is
found as early as the fourth century
His Gratitude
The Medical Record tells of a man
who was cured of blindness by a sur
geon remarkable for his unprepossess
ing appearance When vision was
fully restored the patient looked at
his benefactor and said
Lucky for you young man I did
not see you before you operated or I
would never have given my consent
