TO INDICATE RAH.WAY SPEED.
A French Invention which seems simple
Enough.

- - AtACA AIFG0blOn winch sex ms Simple
Enough.
An ingenious continuance for indicating
tho speed Of railway trains is French
invention. The apparatus consists Of
simply putting in play cord giving
normal musical note. Connected with
this IS an arm carrying a stylus which
marks It's vibrations upon piece Of
paper covering cylinder which
turns by its own weight All
this mechanism is in a smaH box which
can easily be placed among the ballast be-
tween the sleepers, and which begins to
register the moment a train reaches it and
begins to pass overft. Additional features
consist of tubes secured 20 three wooden
pedals placed along the outside of one of
the rails. When the wheel passes a pedal
& little cork button placed in a hole in the
pedal is forced down, and the air which
IS compressed raises valve and sets a
spring vibrating.
The wheel acts similarly upon the
other pedals, and the result is thai three
marks are made upon the cylinder, which
Indicate the beginning. the middle and
the end of the operation The three
pedals are two meters apart, 80 that there
IS space of six meters covered by the
system. The speed of the train is then
determined by the number of vibrations
Indicated. which through the known
number Of vibrations per second given
BY the musical note, can be readily
ascertained, as the more rapidly
the train runs over the distance between
the pedals the smaller will be the number
OF vibrations traced on the cylinder Con
venient tables are prepared showing to
the practical observer the exact relation
the readings have to the speed. -PhtId-

According to the Allgemeinc MltsikG

led to the choice of the present site for

1871 King Ludwig drew Wagner's atten-
ton to tile old opera house at Bayreuth,
thinking that it might perhans be made
available for the composers purpose.
Wagner, OH visiting 1t, saw at once that
it would not do, but he WIS pleased with
