A great exhibition of new signals was made
by the N. Y. & N. e. Company to the officials
of the other New England railroads Saturd ay
The advantages claimed for this new system
of the National Railway Signal Company are
that no batteries are used, but the signals are
operated by mechanical generation of an
electric current; that the signals cannot be
| operated by maliciously disposed individuals,
the mechanical work being too great to be
| done by a force less than that of locomotive
or car; that the signals are automatic in action
requiring no winding up; that visible signals
are thrown into position indicating danger by
mechanical means, and that crossing signals
are continuously operated during the passage
| of a train from the point where the genera
tori is located to the signal itself, and are
stopped by the action of the train. The
signals have been in use on the New York x
New England road for nearly year.

The New Electric Light.

The Arnonx Electric Light Company COM
menced Saturday afternoon to Introduce their
system of arc lighting in our scity. The scom-
pany is composed of large number of our
most wealthy and energetic business men, who
for some months past have quietly been inyes-
tigating the subject of lighting by electricity,
and believe that the "Arnoux System" is the
best among the many .'arc lights now in
use in the country. They have therefore pur-
chased the right to introduce this system into
Maine, and are now establishing their plants
in all the principal cities and towns in the
State. The value of their system is strongly
endorsed by many prominent electricians. 1t
is claimed that the Arnoux dynamo machine
for the brilliancy and pure color of its light,
economy in power, and great durability, has no
equal now in use. The exhibition of the lights
here on Saturday night goes far to substanti-
ate the claims made. They attracted much
attention by their beauty of color and brillian-
cy. A visit to ithe company's central station
on Plum street shows that the works have beer
established to remain. They aresconstructed in
the most pertinent manner and perfectly ar
ranged for doing the work they have under
taken.
