Novel Block Signal system.

The Weehawken tunnel of the West
Shore railway in New Jersey, which lie
1900 feet in length, has novel block
signal system. The arrangement con-
sists OF line OF incan lescent electric
lamps about 300 feet apart and placed
on level with the eye of the engine
driver. When the lamps are all
alight, it is an indication OF safety.
Each train passing through ex.
tinguishes the lamps for q distance OF
LOO feet in its rear, a result which is
automatically effected by an electric
ally connected track circuit, whereby
the lamps are kept under the con-
tinuous control of the train. The
operators in the signal towers at each
end of the tunnel can also extinguish
the lights in any section OF the tunnel
ii occasion requires. This system
appears to embody number of ex.
ceedingly valuable features, and if
successful in practice cannot but m
crease the traffic capacity of long
tunnel largely beyond that which is
possible by the methods of signaling
heretofore in use.

In the embarrassment of this big, awkward
man-something which tinged the express

we'll as mirth. He submitted to be dragged
away by the children to the group where
Taras was chatting with Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles Kavanagh.

The strangeness of my behavior did not es-

on our way home found him regarding me
with curious interest from his corner in the

Now that Gordon could convey his

each sentence to find words to express them,

sweetheart, and he found IRE an attentive
