out the qualifications that should be pos

equal to the best lawyers that are en-

in which the Government frequently finds
itself involved. The Boston Herald sem

as a grand Attorney-General.-U OBJ

Safety Switch for Railroad Cross
fnRn.

One of the burning questions Of the
hour in electrical circles is how to Sc
cure a greater immunity from accidents
in the working of the trolley car. and
the earnestncss with which the matter
is being discussed by the electrical
press would encourage the belief that
such a change is imminent in the sys-
TENS of braking and controlling the car
as will markedly contribute to the
greater safety Of the public in city
streets. There is. however, Il class Of
electric car accidents for the prevention
of which no special provision has hith-
erto been made, namely, collisions with
railway trains, and there is urgent
need that measures be taken with Il
view to lessen the danger to the pub
lie from this cause. Pending the in
PRODUCTION Of a better method. an Ohio
trolley road has adopted for all its
railroad crossings a switch which is so
arranged that its setting nccessitates
the crossing Of the track by the con-
ductor. Unless this switch is set the
car cannot cross. and The fact that the
conductor is obliged to run on to the
track in advance of the car is likely
to materially reduce the risk Of COL
liSiOn.
