RailroRd Safety,

he is to control, with all the trains in mo-
ton, and he knows at every instant Just ex.
actly where each train is. When one of
them approaches another at distance which
is dangerous he can Immediately signal the
menaced train. The apparatus consists of
a Sheetof opaque glass, on which the rails
are indicated bv horizontal lines and the
stations by vertical ones numbered. Little
arrows, representing the trains, move along
the horizontal lines. They are put in mo-
ton by aid of electricity developed by the
contact of metallic brushes attached to the
locomotives with zinc bands placed along
the rails. The train thus continually traces
its trajectory on the glass indicator. The
apparatus was exhibited some days in Ger

A sxcExr report relative to epidemics of
typhoid fever and cholera in Paris contains
many interesting facts. Typhoid fever
generally follows heavy storms of rain, oc-
curing at the same time with an elevated
temperature. Cholera makes its appear
ance with strong south winds and an ele-
waited temperature. Density Of population
does not seem to have much to do with
cholera. The disease is always the most
serious IN poor quarters, even though the
dwellings are scattered. The mortality,
however, is much greater in a thickly in
habited house than N house with but few
residents. In cities the mortality from
cholera is less in proportion as the sewers
are greater. The mortality is also less in
city districts where the closets are provided
with fitering pans.
