AN IMPORTANT RAILWAY IN
VENTION.

The following account is given
of new car shoe, invented by
Mr.. Stills0n of Minneapolis, and
which was recently tested there
Its design Is to prevent the numer-
GUS accidents to which railroad
trains are liable from one car,s
jumping the track. This runs
about two inches above the rail-
and If anything happens to throw
the wheels from the track. the
clamp at once grasps the rails.
holds the car on the track, and
brings the train to halt very
quickly. During one ofthe exper-
iments at curve in the road, ON
a down grade. a rail was removed
from the track. The car having
the shoe on was started down the
grade, its speed being not less than
thirty miles an hour. On reaching
the gap the wheels jumped the
track, the car settled down upon
the shoe, which at once grasped
the rail which had not been re-
moved, held the car in an upright
position on the track, and finally
brought it to a stand-still in dis
lance of two hundred and fifty
feet. AT q second trial, at a speed
Of fifteen miles an hour, the same
result was accomplished, the car
being brought to halt in thirty
feet.
