The queerest text book in the
world perhaps is tho thick, yol
low paged pamphlot used ts a guide
by the switch operators at the Grand
Central station. 833 combinations ro.

and signals operated by the groat lov.

And although to the outsider the text

by heart and others who are study.
ing it daily as a stop to promotion to
the switchman's ranks.
Certainly in no one spot in the
city is there more concentrated en
orgy continually exercised than in the
switchtower of tho station yard. The
men manipulating the many gay.
colored long-handled lovers ranged
side by side in the middle of the floor
give the impression of playing upon
somo quaint instrument, the key.
board of which only is visible. The
players pull down a blue lever here
and shovo up a red one beyond,
reaching over to snap a third in place.
Black, rod, yellow, blue: yellow,
black, blue, rod, back and forth they
snap tlio handles, the execution all in
accord with the jottings and formu
las of that yellow text book.
The visitor in the stronghold dur
ing rush hours is stuck with the im
passivo orderliness with which things
are conducted. No fuss; overything
quiet except for the movoent of the
feet on the bare floor as thvy step
forward and back in attendance on
the huge instrumont; the click, click
of the differont liberated lovers set
tling back in place and the tinkling
of the signal bolls in stool reverbora
tors.
The moon-faced clocks sentinelled
along the wall at a height oven with
the men's eyes are muto. Their
big hands show the timo to the frac
tion of a second, but they waste no
energy in needless tickling. The
switchmen aro of like description.
Their entire attention given to the
business of the moment, even while
looking out for the business to come,
with almost superhuman accuracy,
carefully considering, listening to the
signalling of the bells and the grind
ing of the swvitch locks and answering
to their orders.
The foreman and the interpreter
for the grand seems to have mastered
the problem of doing a dozen things
at once, HIe sounds the plunge
bells that send signals to half hun
dred places out in the tunnel. He
lks through the megaphone out of
window to the trainmen in the
rd below. lIe regulates a special
atch of levers and keeps in touch
with the operators in the telegraph
room beyond. lie keeps this up
eight hou'rs each day.
Afteor one has looked on at and lis
to to the tower doings for a con
sidorab2Limno the various sounds
take on hg inctness. It can be
judged ftrom th' ,stolid thub or the
keen click of a relejifd lever whether
the iron feelers it rhulates are
weighty and long reaching r con
trol only the turning of a lock or1W,
giving a signal.
And for the electric bells! Each
has a message of its own. New one i
tickles repeatedly and instantly, the t
same whirring racket again and
again, a meaning that the foreman 1
chalks down in graphic signals on
his slate to be held up for the gang's
edification, and later to be answered
with a number of stout pulls on his
plunge bells. Now comies a brief,
quick ring apparently *inconsequent,
but the levers respond to it promptly.
Again a prolonged tinkling at the ex
treme end of the room causes the
head man to catch up his megaphone
and shout hu'riedly to yard hands
outside.
"A trainload of scenery coming in I"
lovers.
A few seconds later comes a sig
nal giving word that a special funer
al train must bo allowed for.
The towormon can judge with
tolerable accuracy the workings and
movemonts of their outbound trains,
but the inbounds k p thorn guess
ing and the signals along the hun
dred block-tunnel are watched nar
rowly. With the specials and extra
assignments to be considored there
can be no invariable rules and some
times even the least used lever of the
170 odd is brought into requisition.
"After making 17th street, got in
as soon as you can," is the station
yard order that the enginoors go by,
but the getting in is apt to be modi
flied by various happenings.
The picked towormen have the
switch combinations so at their fin
gors ends that if there is a single bit
of tackle or apparatus not being
worked for all it is worth they can
suggest a resource for the yardmas
ter when he is in a tight place.
From the tower windows one gets
a view of the patch work of tracks
without the trains and and locomo
tives being shifted about at the bid
iing of the lovers. Up at the nar
row neck of the yard waits an in
bound train panting to get home, but
locked fast until a track can be clear
3d for it. Two trains stand ready to
start out at just a minutes difference
in the starting time; the engineers
waiting neck to neck like racers
trrining to be off. On the right a
locomotive is making the flying
3witch to be off from the train it
brought in and scudding away to
grooming ground, while the sleepers
ind passenger coaches roll into the
tation shed to unload.
A local train is being backed into
he station only to reappear on an
ther track a moment afterward, and
i shining, bright locomotive comes
puffing out of the roundhouse where
it was despatched to be coaled, wa
:ered and turned round. Its fresh
ippoarance makes the shabby push
)r, one'of the drudges of the yard
hat is being 'switehed about on or
rands, appear all the more humdrum
md neglected.
The long distance trains, pets of
he road, are started off, their tenders
piled with coal and every, bearing
md surface shining as if assured of
iigh priced business. All hands
:ake interest in the start of these gilt
Adged flyers, and the lovers that se.
mure the track to them sink back to
place with a gratified thud as if do
ng something worth while.
The switch operators are always
hosen from omployes about the sta
ion; sometimes trainhands or t'ssist
mnt baggage men or general helpers.
Iamiliarity with railroad and orngin
3ering matters is a good foundation
or the studying of the combinations
.n the switchman's text hook, and
mployees look forward to a berth in
~he tower force just as salesmen in a
ihop aspire to the place of buyer or

"We have to take on extra hands
in all deparir.mnts whenever thero is

of the ollicial-. "Sometimes the Old

lIris, April 13.-A dispatch from
St. Germain, near this city describes
the extraordinary case of Julienne
Landrieux, a servant girl, from whoso
Lody dozens of needles are being ex
tracted. The girl complained of con
siderable irritation of the skin, and
last Thursday went to a local drug
gist, wvho found a number of needles
emerging from various parnts of her
body. He extracted them with
pincers. The girl has returned sev
oral times a day since, and up to this
morning the druggist has drawn out
120 needles from her arms, hands,
feet, breast, the lobe of her ear, her
eye-lids and the corner of her right
eye. The girl experiences no pain
until she feels the needle piercing
the epidermis. The needles always
emerge thick end first, and unless im
mediately extracted disappear again.
Two reputable newspapers, the
Matin and the Temups, havo investi
gated the matter and vouch for the
authenticity of the story. MIle Lan
drioux says that fivo years ago, when
she was 11 years of age, she amused
herself with other childron, by swal
lowing quantities of needles. She
swallowed forty- nine ine one day and
never felt any inconvenience until
recently, and she has enjoyed the
best of health. While relating the
foregoing to the reporter of the
Temps, who saw her at the drag
gist's, she exclaimed:
"I feel one in my eye now."
T1he druggist then upturned 11cr
right eye-lid and with a magnet took
out fragments of needles.
A surgeon of tile hospital at Lai
Salt-Petriere said in an interview that
the case was quite unprecedented.
Needles inserted under the skin were
known to have b)een b)orno through
the musces, but there was no record
to show that a needle introduced
into the stomach emerged from the
lobe of the car. In such a case tihe
needle must have traversedl the.skull,
\'hinh in incomprenhensible.
