night. The lantern j, not at all times
conspicuous, and many rear end COLI

the inability of the tiagman to get far
enough back on the track to sufficiently
warn the oncOming train.
A fusee has been invented to meet this
emergency. 1t is attached to a pointed
rod, which is stuck into a crosstie be
tween the tracks. 1t is ignited by the
