veral donkey races. For one of the events some 15 or 16

donkey, captured the defendant, and oonfiscated hie

Waded that there was no more ordain* of ill-treatment or
cruelty than might be adduced concerning say horse race

SAFETY IN RAILWAY Taavau.nro. —At the
monthly meeting of the London Association of Formes
Engineers, Mr. D. A. dettliffe read • very interesting
paper on the prevention of railway saddest. and boiler
exploiting*, and on the means of communicating with the
guard and engine driver of trains in oases of murderous and
other criminal essaults in railway carriages. He com-
menced be stating that the prevention of steam-boiler
explosions, railway collisions, he., was within the power
of every cot having charge of a boiler or driving as
engine by adopting • system invented by M. Auguste
*chard, a French civil engineer of great emineoee.
That system bad been tested in Francs by M.
Dusonich, segieeer-inmkief of mime, and inspector-general
of the Paris, Lyons, and Mediterrenese Railways. sod be
declared et owe the facility and efficacy of its spoliation.
The present mesa of signalling between guard end driver
were totally 'Dell/tient, adtient, the power to stop a train at full
ispried was equally inadequate to that required. At pre-
sent a Maio at full speed could at be stopped under 1,600
yards, which being further than the sight would cane to
wee an obstacle on the lie*, it could sot by any possibility
avoid the danger. The invention referred to was termed an
"electrical embrayage," sad could be applied to any carriages
es any railway. By means of this apparatus any engine driver
could with an electrical insulator in the shape of • small door-
batch dates or slacken all the breaks of • train at once, and
is lees time than it now took to sound the alarm whistle.
This was effected by cutting off the voltsie current, which
went the whole length of the train, and which immediately
released the breaks, and allowed them to set upon the wheels
and atop the train. A train could thus be stopped et 400 or
5110 yards. The remit of that action was manifested in
another and very important phase of railway ea:ideate Is
the event of couplings breaking, the partial running off the
line of train., Sr., Re.. the electric wire became dram-
acted or broken, and the breaks instantly acted automati-
cally, and stopped the train. The apparatus also contained
an alarm bell, which was placed within the reach of
every functionary on the trio, besides which the travel-
lers themselves might, in cam of imminent danger, pro-
duce that energetic warning. lo order to prevent abuse the
interrupters at their had in each earopartmeet were one.
strutted so that what, once they had been handled or
worked, three results followed :—Firet, that it would not be
possible for the travellers to replace them to their ordinary
positing; secondly, that the alarm would eontinue to ring
until the complete stoppage of the train ; and thirdly, that
• signal would be displayed outwardly no each side of the
carriage, thus showing to the fnactionaries the pert of the
Mein whence Mend the rimsl of darer. Assintance
might Utah. promptly rendered, and, in case of the signal
being tampered with, or used without case, the armee
en °feeding might be known and punished with sofa-
) • severity to prevent such infractions la future.
The "electrical embrayere " could also be applied to steam
Wen. It at only supplied to the generator at the pro-
ds. moment all the water it required la a way so maistals
the level within 1-30th of as inch, but it announced by as
alarm-101l every ease of danger. The alarm rang when
the level fell too low ; when the feeding pumps got out of
order ; if the electric pile coned to act ; if the
level feat ceased to sot; if a considerable leak
occurred ; if the fire wan too fierce and the pros re of
ram exceeded the proper limit ; and if the stoker, neglect-
ing his duty, allowd the tension of the steam to become too
low. ad the alarm ceased only when the danger it bad
*walled had been provided against. A cordial vote of
thanks ems gives to Mr. Gettliffe for his able paper,

We are sorry to add that no water wan to be obtained for

and from the inflammable nature of the stock, and the
deasely•populated character of the neighhourbood, consi-
derable fears were entertained lest the fire should spread to
the surrounding houses. ITltirnatele a first-rate supple of
water was °blamed, and the whole of the brigades set to
work to endeavour to extinguish the devouring element.
