remain there until ex-governor orders
his execution.

According to The Paris Gaulois an
apparatus has Just been invented which
is simply astounding, for with it the
traveller need no longer fear any acci-
dents. Safety will be assured on rail
roads. This apparatus permits the EN-
ploye charged with the duty to see into
a mirror the entire section of the road
he is to control, with all the trains in
motion and he knows at every instant
just exactly where each train is. When
one of them approaches another at a
distance which Is dangerous he can i'm
mediately signal the menaced train.
The apparatus consists of a sheet of
Opa ue glass, on which the rails are in
dicated by horizontal lines and the sta
tions by vertical ones, numbered Lit
tie arrows, representing the trains,
move along the horizontal lines They
are put in motion by aid of electricity
developed by the contact of metallic
brushes alta he'd to tho locomotives
with zinc bands placed along the rails.
The train thus continually traces its ira
jectory on the glass indicator. The ap-
paratuS was exhibited some days ago in
Germany to a commission of Berlin
scientists.
