THE CAMERA CLUB.
The Exhibition Now Open to the

The exhibition of Photographic prints
which has been going on in the rooms of
the Camera Club at the Academy of Sci
ence building for the past week was
thrown open TO the public Yesterday for
the first time, the fore part OF the week
having been reserved solely for friends
and members of the club.
The attendance was quite large through
out the entire day. and in view of the
popularity of the exhibition the manage
ment has decided to continue with open
doors until Saturday next from 10 A. NJ
to 3 P. NJ, the public being invited to at
tend free OF charge.
The many handsome exhibits hung
about the walls received their share of
admiration as usual, while the special at
fractions won ths admiration of all.
Miss FancomDre's magnificent collec-
tion of views seemed to be popular among
the many delighted visitors, while the
critics bore similar testimony of the
artists popularity.

share in public favor. and in fact the
whole exhibition is of such a high order
that the matter of first choice among the
many exquisite bits of art is next to an in-

SIGNALS FROM MOVING TRAINS.
An Automatic Electric system Which Has
Been Tested in Germany.

An Automatic Electric system Which Has
Been Tested in Germany.
The frequency Of railway accidents
during last year would appear to have
acted as Il stimulus to inventors in
the field Of railway signaling, for an
unprecedented number of warning
devices have been patented within
the last few months. One of these,
which is regarded by the Pittsburgh
Dispatch as specially worthy of at.
tention. has been successfully tested
on some OF the military lines in Ger
many. The system is automatic,
and is actuatCd by electricity. The
circuit are so cOntrived that two
trains travelling on the same metals,
whether in the same or opposite d.
r%ectiOn, are warned of each others
position by the ringing of a bell on
each locomotive, while at the same
time the two drivers are brought
into telephone communication. The
same thing occurs if one of the
trains be stationary. so that if there
is any breakdown On the line in front,
the driver receives notice. The break
ing away of a bar or cars from the
e a of a train is also notified, both
to the driver and to the station which
the train has last passed through;
and the distances at which all these
warnings are given and received can
be varied IN such a manner as to pro-
vide either long or short blocks"
according to the requirements of the
traffic. In fact, the system seems to
have provided effectively against all
ordinary contingencies, and its en-
plOyment should greatly reduce the
risks of railway travel. The German
Government experts speak highly of
the apparatus IN their official report.
Among other experiments a train en-
terins a station was warned of an
obstacle on the line; two locomotives
approaching each other on the same
track were warned; two trains pro-
ceeding in the same direction, the
second at greater speed than the first,
were euabled to give each other au-
tomato notice Of their respective
speed and position. and a train which
vas entering a station received warn
ing that POINTS were in ii wrong po-
Sition. In every case notice was
given in ample time to prevent dan
ger and to render a collision I'M posi-
bile.

A Fiuid,

Two solid bOdieS-One yellow, sui
phur, and the other black, carbon
unite under certain circumstances
and form a colOrless and very volatile
liquid called bisulphide of carbon,
that must be handled with great pre-
caution, IN account of it being so in
tiammable.
The solvent properties of bisulphide
or carbon render it valuable for re-
moving grease spots. Although its
odor is more disagrceable than that
or benzlnc or spirits Of terpentine, it
has, at least, the advantage Of disap-
pearing rapidly, in consequence of
the quick evaporation. of the liquid,

The First Locomotive in Maine.

The first locomotive used in the
State Of Maine, away back in 1896,
is shown in Casters Magazine for
April. The engine, rs there de-
s.ribed, came from England, having
been built at the works of Robert
Stephenson Il Co., in the year 1885,
and made its first trip over the
Bangor, Oldtown and Milford Rail-
road on August 10, 1897. This road
was then generally known as the
'Neazie road" and the track was
made OF wooden rails, strapped with
iron. The shackles used to connect
the engine and cars were made of
three t~hicknesScs Of sole or belt
leather, held together by copper
rivetS. and had Il hole in each end so
as to hook Ove al upright stationary
pin. bOlted or driven into q rigid
beam extending from the end of the
car. The exact weight of the engine
is not known, but it probably did not
exceed %, 000 pounds, and its power
was cOrres1ondingly feeble compared
with that of modern locomotives. 1t
is said that, for a time, the engine
vas run in opposition to u six-Ox
team employed by a Bangor lumber
dealer, who was not willing to pay
the rates charged on the railroad,
and it was not until the management
Of the line came to what he consid-
cred fair charges that he turned his
traffic Over to it.
