A NEW SAFETY SIGSAL.-A new telegraphie
safety signal for railroads has recently been put
in operation on the railroad at Trenton, y J. tan
pears to be of the most remarkable simplicity.
and Of the most perfect adaptation to the purpose
for which it is designed. It renders accident TO
tram from misplaced switches an utter iupos-
sioiity, and il also provides against accidents TO
trains when the signal apparatus is deranred
from any cause whatever. The signal NAV be
distinguished as far as the eve can reach. fins
aiiording the most ample notice Of safety or dan
ger to the most careless engineer. If tbis
teiegraphic signal possesses the charac-erisrics
claimed Tor it, 1t Will doubtless be used BY the
railroads as the best means of preventing those
accidents at switches which often have such
shocking results.
