Nebraska or L Wakeloy General Passen ger Agent Omaha Nebraska 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 3 - - 1- i imm inirjwiilUnimiinriliniiwMBtwmijimni hkiwuhi HlllJyitliijiiMiBumiiiiUjJiS V fo 1 A Great And the hundreds of satisfied customers who have taken
