Rusk Is very determined to spare no

Live cattle from this country must be

wearing on cattle, but with a
little time they could recuperate. Tha,
time is denied them, aud the British
buyers, knowing that the cattle mus,
be sold within ten days, can, by hold

ground. An ap- BLOCK sIoNALoAUTioN
preaching engine pulled over the
switch-crossing TO another track.
Scarcely had it done so when the soma
phore rose again to it's hori ontal posi-
ton and tho switch moved back to
where IL was before.
When the scmaphorc blade Of n
switch is in horizontal position, ex-
planned Mr.. Harrington, II indicates
danger aud engineers are strictly
forbidden TO pass on to n switch when
the danger signal Is shown. Each
switch has its semaphorc on the right
hand side of the track, coming or
going, and the normal position OF
a semaphorc is horizontal or at danger.
The operator in the tower, who alone
controls the movements of switches, Is
thus able to command tho movements
of the trains and engines, for unless
the way or the route is clear no will
not drop the semaphorc to indicate
that there is clear track, and can
hold an engine all night il re desires.
Nor can he show a clear signal until
after he has owed the switch.
This Is the operating mechanism Of
the switch" he said. Here are the
Nv small pipes iOF coupItsoON nh
which come down from the tower,
feeding from the three-inch supply
pipe. Air is admitted TO this cylinder
by ~ valve when the operator
throws the lever on the pneumatic ma
chine. The arr forces the piston rod
forward The extension of the piston
rol is alta he'd to what is called the
siding plate, which, by means of bell =
crank connections, throws the switch
points and so makes a 'cross-over, or
switch from one track to the other.
"Along the rail for ABOUT forty-five
feet lies what is called u 'detector bar. :
Whenever the switch is moved this bar
rises Dove and very ose to the rail,
moving up an inch or SO. Thus. Ii an
engine or ar stands on the switch the
detecto bar "annot raise and all move
ment is blocked.
"The semaphore is also moved by
compress. ed air, but its cylinder valve
IN opened and closed by an electro
uggnet connected with storage bat
