RAILWAY SIGNALs.-An ingenious inven
ton is about to be put in practical operation
on the South Western Railway. Every trail
will have gutta-percha tube extending it
whole length. This tube will be formed o
parts which is attached to each other by 6
spring clip, so that the length of the tube
can be made to correspond with the length
of the train. BY stroke of the pump the
air is forced through the tube to the oppo.
site end of the train, and produces very
loud and shrill whistle at a mouth-piece at
tached to the tube in each guards van, and
to mouth-piece which extends close to the
eugine-drver. Printed instructions are to be
placed in the hands of the guards, engine
drivers, and stokers, which state that one
whistle means "look out" two signify "call-
tion," and three whistles denote danger"
this information conveyed by either of the
guards to one another and to the engine
driver and stoker will cause, it is hoped, such
a lookout in 'front.' such a use of the brakes
attached to each guards van, and such reg
ulation of the speed Of the train as cannot
fail to secure great degree of safety. An
OJlcT luNcuIlOu 10 dDOuI W De UScd Oh Tie
Southwestern Railway is the following:-
Two lights one red and the other white,
are to be fixed to an arm at certain dis
tance apart, and at certain angle, and to
be connected with the axle of one of the
wheels of the last carriage of the night train
and caused to revolve by the motion of the
train. The speed at which they turn will
be governed by the speed of the train, which
it will also indicate, to warn and guide the
trains coming after. The present lights on
Railway carriages can scarcely be distinguish
ed from fixed lights and it is impossible at
times to guess, until collision is eminent,
whether the light seen ahead is the one at
tached to the first or last carriage of train,
and consequently whether the train with such
a light is coming toward or going from an
other. 10 obviate this inconvenience and
danger the revolving lights will be most ef-
fectual, for even if train is stopped and the
revolving lights are at rest, the angle at
which they are placed will render them dis
tinguishable and easy of recognition.

Mr.. BANKs.-The Boston Bee has the fol-
lowing sketch of Mr. Banks career.
"The career of Mr. Banks is full of interest
and hope, and especially to the young. He
has risen to his present post from the hum
blest life. His early days witnessed him strug-
Cling with poverty, and when boy of fifteen
years, working sixteen hours day in the
machine shop of the Boston Manufacturing
Company, at Waltham. He was born in
1915, and is forty years Old His first ap-
pearance in public, except in Dramatic
Club, formed by the young men of Waltham
was as temperance lecturer, making his
debut in Watertown. He read from manu-
srripts before him. 1t was a creditable pro-
duction. He subsequently obtained much
skill as speaker, in the debating club of
the town. From that period, some fifteen
years. to the present he has engaged more
or less in politics. His thirst for knowledge
has always been very marked; and to crafty
it, while in the machine shop, he regularly
spent the hours in study after work until mid
night.
Let those who see Mr.. Banks in the chair
of the House of Representatives, remember
that it is the price of twenty-five years of
toll and study, long and rugged path. In
1s4S he commenced the study of law in the
office of the late Robert Rantoul, Jr., 80, 81
and '52 he represented his native town in our
Legislature; and in 81 and '52 was chosen
Speaker He was elected President of the
Constitutional Convention, one of the most
marked gatherings ever held in Massachusetts,.
He was elected to Congress in 1852, and
again in 1854. On the last day of uine
aceeks continuous balloting, he is elected
Speaker of the House.: eliminating point
we happen to know, of his oft-cherished am
bition.
Mr.. Banks is signally self-made man.
He is indebted to no adventitious aid for
what he has in his head. The circumstances
by which he was surrounded in his early
days, no less than the counsels which saluted
his ears, were any thing but encouraging
Had he taken the counsel of those who af-
fected to be wiser than himself (the embodied
spirit of musty old fogyism, often found in
village life,) he would never have been known
outside the limits of his village, and only
within them as perhaps, clever piece of an
imated stupidity"
