A New Automatic Railroad Signal.

a CERTAIN Signor L. Guano, of Genoa,
has invented an apparatus, model of
which is on view at the Ministry of FL
nance, which, if practically a success,
would prove great boon to travellers, for
it is designed to prevent railway collisions
without going into technicalities, the idea
is this: Between the rails is sunk a kind
of box, of masonry, in which is contained
a spiral spring, on which rests an upright
lever with arms pointing up and down the
line. The lever lies above the level of the
rails, and on the sides of it work cog-wheels,
to which are attached wires, which, pass
ing through a tube and around horizontal
wheels. communicate with the next box.
From the front of the engine, to work on
the line, descends perpendicular rod,
communicating with the whistle, and to
the tender is added central wheel, not
touching the ground, but attached to bell
in the guards van.
On train leaving a station, as it passes
over the first of these levers, the engine
rod and the tender central wheel strike
against it, the weight of the train presses
it down, and in so doing raise all the arms
of the levers up to the next station against
any train coming in theopposite direction,
at the same time ringing a bell at the next
station. Surprising by chance train on
the same line to have passed that station,
it would strike against the first lever, and
be warned by the whistle and bell that
there was danger ahead, and would put
back at once, while at the same time, by
reversing the levers once more, it would
warn the coming train TO proceed eau
tiously. If no other train is on the line,
the first one, having set the levers in the
opposite direction, passes over them with
out raising any alarm.
The estimated working distance of these
levers from each other is two to three
miles, but the inventor says that his appa-
ratus has been at work for some months
successfully. at a distance of about six
miles, between San Pier d'Arena and
POnte Decimo.-C0;. Pail Mall Gazette.

utilizing carrier pigeons as the bearers of
military dispatches was first worked out
IN practice during the investments of Paris
and Metz in the late Franco German war.
So vigilant was the watch kept by the
Germans over all the approaches leading
into the fOrtresses, that in fact no other
messengers could enter the beleaguered
towns. Balloons could leave the cities,
and, passing high in the air over the in
vesting lines, deposit their burdens IL the
open country; but aeronautics are not yet
sufficiently developed to allow the reverse
operation to be carried out. Pigeons,
however, could be trusted, under certain
easily-fulfilled conditions, to return with
all speed to their homes and, consequent
ly, numbers of them were taken out of
Paris IN balloons, to be subsequently laden
with dispatches, with which they then re-
turned to the capital. At first the mes
sages were tied round the necks of the
pigeons; but it was found that, when this
was done, many of the birds returned
without their dispatches, having probably
got rid of them themselves during their
flight The plan was, therefore, adopted of
reducing the dispatches, by the aid of
photography, to the smallest possible di-
mensions, and inclosing them in quill,
which was then fastened under one of the
larger feathers of the pigeons wing. By
this means not only was the loss of the
dispatches avoided, but they were also
protected from partial destruction or oblit-
