Some important discoveries have lust
been made in Europe, says the New

How to stop train when an accident
is impending has long been proE!cni.
Many plans have been suggested, Int
almost all have been considered ;uui,.
for the reason that they call for qi:.,.
Stoppage. In such q case the slice.
would be 50 great that the carriages
between the engine and the rear Of
the train would be smashed to atoms
and their occupants crushed to death.
Evidently, therefore, a gradual stop
page is imperative.
An admirable plan, which enables n
train to slow down gradually, has re-
Gently been tested at the railroad sta
tion in Dresden. 1t is extremely sim
pie and has been found to work well.
No Intricate machinery is required, aEd
the cost must be small. a track is laid.
the rails of which sink or slore grad
ually into bed of sand. AS the train
passes over this sand it's wheels meet
with an ever-increasing resistance,
which soon becomes so great that they
are obliged to stop. The stoIpagc, how
ever, is so gradual that there is no
rough shock. The greater the swiftncss
Of the train and the heavier the lord
the more immediate is the storrarc.
No damage then is possible either rs
regards the train or the pns&eTc< rs.
An ncXpcrimcntw which was recently :ricd
with freight train showed clearly the
usefulness of this very practical and
simple plan.
