The blasts Of q trumpet on railroads as q
means of giving signals TO engine runners
switchmen and others engaged in switching
and drilling operations, are now extensively
used in the large yards Of the CALIFORNIAN
railway in and around Glasgow, and are
about to be introduced on some Of the great
railway systems having their ternini in Lon
don. According TO the code OF trumpet sig.
nails for shunting. in operation at ST. Rollox
freight yard, Glasgow, the various signals
are represented by long blasts, short blasts,
and CROWS Of tho trumpet, the repetition
of each varying the directions For in
stance, one long blast OF the trumpet means
move forward, and two long blasts are
signal to move back" Each shunter, and
in some cases the signalman, is furnished
with horn trumpet, which is eleven inches
Ia length, having a reed inside the mouth
piece, the whole being OF very light con-
s.ruction- The trumpet is carried by the
shunter, slung over bis left shoulder with a
piece of cord, and hangs across the right
hip.
Another ancient and pastoral implement,
the shepherds crook, is also used for facili-
tating switching operations across the water.
Each yardnan carries @ sort of shepherds
crook, By which he HITS the chain coupling
1t is stated on good authority that since this
method Of coupling, and coupling freight
cars has been adopted On the CALIFORNIAN,
that not q single man has been injured in
coupling cars This can be readily under

THE DEPARTMENTS.

WASHINGTON, Aug. Ex-senator Call to-
day introduced a joint resolution to APP
propriate 500, 600, to be paid out in the dis.
cretion of the secretary of the treasury,
for the prevention and suppression of
yellow fever in the Interstate commerce
of the United States.
The postmaster general has transmitted
to the secretary of the treasury the annual
report of the second assistant postmaster
general, which shows "A deficiency for rail-
way transportation of 500, 49,. In his
letter of transmittal Mr. Dickinson says;
AS will be seen from the accompanying
report of the second assistant postmaster
general, made to me on the returns OF
business of this department for the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1888 there is a de-
ticiency in the appropriation for
railway mail transportation for the
half year, in excess of that contem-
plated in the estimates submitted by my
predecessor in his annual report for 1881
1t will be observed that the estimate for
that deficiency of $3.50 coo was based upon
the supposition that the increase of rail
road service for the fiscal year ended June
81, 1885, would not exceed 6,0O0 miles.
whereas the amount of railroad service
actually ordered for that year WAS Il, 164.
i have the honor TO submit therefore an
Estimate of 500. 4S3 as the deficiency for
railroad transportation and to request its
Immediate transmission TO congress.
