A GIGANTIC IMPROVEMENT.
First American Train Run by Telegraph

First American Train Run by Telegraph.
In 1850 the Erie road was in operation
between Piermont and Elmira. The
track was single one; such thing as
double track was then unknown in the
country.
Two years before, after much discus
sion and opposition. telegraph wire had
been put up along the line. Superinten-
dent Minot, who was man long way
in advance OF the times, was q strong
believer in the practicability of the tele-
graph as q facilitator OF transportation
on railroads.
In the summer Of 1850 he was a pas
senger one day on a westbOund train over
his road. The train he was on. according
10 the printed timetable. was to meet
through train from the West at Turner'S
Station, fJrty-seYen miles from New
York.
When Mr. Minot's train reached Tur-
ners, he learned that the eastbOund train
was six hours late, owing 10 some mis-
hap. Under the system OF railroading
then governing employees the wcs: bound
train had 10 remain at Turner's Until the
delayed train had passed the station. In
fact. the whole business of the road from
there west was at a stand6tiil owing to
the non-arrival of the train at the differ
ent stations where other trains wero
awaiting il.
Superintendent Minot saw At once how
ridiculous such a system was. There
was telegraph Office at Turner'S and it
WAS then the only one between that sta
ton and Jersey City. The Superintcn-
dent went 10 The Office and made the
operators hair stand by sending mos
sage 10 the station agent at Port Jeryis
that he intended to rua the train lie was
on from Turner'S to Port Jeryi5 OF tie
time of the belate1 ea5tbound train. lie
ordered the agent not TO let any train
leave that station going East until the
train he was on arrived there. He also
ordered the agent to telegraph TO him
low he understood the message.
The answer was satisfactory, and the
Superintendent went TO the conductor OF
the train and told him TO start on with
his train. The conductor refused to do
so. and the Superintendent discharged
him on the spot.
Minot then ordered the engineer to
pull ont. The engineer said that he
would not take the risk, and in the argu-
mcnt that followed the Superintendent
dragged the engineer from the cab, gave
him an elegant dressing out, and mounted
the foot-board himself.
lie ran the train To Port Jeryi5 ana
sent it Oh West as far as Narrow5burg
before il met the late train, thus saving
the passengers five hours, and settling
forever the question of the accuracy O.
the telegraph in running railroad trains.

New Sound Niagnifer.

The introduction of the me ya3honc on
sbipboard-a sort OF telescope fer the
ear, or machine for magnifying squads
said TO be boon in prospect for mariners.
It's design is to enable a perso2 ohear or
carry on conversation with people at &
distance, and it is constructed Of two
huge cone-shaped tubes, eight feet long
and threG in diameter at the large cad.
which diminish to an apex in TIE form Of
rubber tabes small enough TO place IN the
ear.
Between these tubes arc two smaller
ones, constructed in the same manner,
but not more than half the diameter. By
placing the rubber tubes in the ear and
speaking through the smaller cones the
person can hear and be hearl at long
distance, and it thus aids mariners in
listening for the sound Of breakers, or
carrying on conversation with persons on
shore o. on other vessels al 4 distance.
