An interesting Invention.

The railway accident at Yorkhill,
Glasgow, in which five platelayers
we're killed by an express train, has in
duced Sir William Arrol, the we'll.
known contractor of the Forth Bridge
to devise an indicator of approaching
trains. A small contact maker is fix
ed beside one of the rails at a distance
from the platelayers, and in circuit
with a battery and electric bell which
is placed near the workman. The
wheels of the locomotive press the
contact, and by completing the cir.
cult ring the bell so as to warn the
men. Sir William has not patented
the device, which has been adopted by
the North::British Railway Company.
