BEST SWITCHING SYSTEM.

New Method Used at One of Boston's
Railway Stations.
What Is described as the largest and
most complete switch and signal plant
ever constructed is being installed at
the new South passenger station at
Boston. Twenty eight tracks in the
terminal are to be controlled from
this station. Under the old system OF
levers connecting, through movable
rods, with the switches and signals,
this station would require a building
fully 13o feet long, and $50 levers, with
nine men to work them, thus greatly
increasing the possibility of error. The
system adopted, however, is one in
which compressed air plays an import
ant part, and with its use only three
men will be required to direct the 5000
or 5000 train movements daily, which
will be the rule when the yard is in
full operation. 1t is Boston's pride
that no other station in the world
presents ir its track system such IA
cilities for moving, simultaneously or
otherwise, sc large a number of trains.
The Elk Mountain pilot., 1899-04-18

In its stead a fan blower was installed
on top of the boilers, and provided
with a special engine to drive it at
just the speed required. 1t is au-
tomatically regulated so that less than
one pound drop in steam pressure
greatly increases the draft, starts up
the fire, and brings the pressure back
to where it belongs. The fan works
by suction, draws the gases from the
boiler flue and forces them out through
a short stack extending only 81 feet
above the boiler-room floor. The
draught which may be produced is
two or three times stronger than that
of the chimney which has been dis
carded, and is just as strong in all
kinds of weather. while the cost, it
is said, of the entire mechanical
draught equipment, including the
stack, has been less than one-half of
that of new chimney. Because of
the stronger draught much cheaper
fuel is burned. the saving being about
$1,000 year. 1t is possible with me-
chanical draught to use smaller boil
ers and still produce the required
amount of steam.

UGLINESS WAS VALUABLE.

There is a government official low

would close the doors of a beauty
show with snap before he could get
within mile of it, and yet he is not
unhappy. On the contrary, he has a
sunny nature that makes his face a
flower garden all the year round. The
only criticism that can be made of
him Is that he is as conceited about ; is
homeliness as handsome men are about
their beauty. That may be unusual
but it is true The other day he was

a smiling face she waved the crowd
adieu and sank beneath the surface.
Fifty watches clicked and the spec
tators began to bet on the result. The
crowd gave a hearty cheer, unheard
by the girl, when she reached her
former record OF minutes 3-5 sec
onds. The second hands now ap-
peared to travel painfully slow. Every
second seemed a minute to the anx-
ious officials as the long hand crept up
to Ftnney's figures. 1t was passed and
another shout went up from the spec
tators.
Six more seconds slipped by and
Beaumont's wonderful performance
had fallen by the wayside. Still she
did not come up, and many of the
spectators shuddered as they thought
of the fate of other and stronger pro-
fessionals who suffered death aom the
fearful strain put on the organs in
similar trials. The officials called up
the seconds in a low, monotonous
voice, and the suspense of the crowd
became painfully evident. Exactly
ten seconds after Beaumont's record
had been equaled Miss Wallenda came
to the surface and received an ova-
ton. She was Immediately taken to
the dressing room and carefully exam
ined While almost completely ex-
hausted, her heart and lungs were in
such perfect condition that she rap
idly recovered and was informed of
her success.
To hold the breath under water for
any unusual length of time is consid-
cred one of the most difficult and
dangerous tricks in aquatic sports.
Only those possessing the stoutest of
hearts and lungs capable OF remarka-
BILE expansion could attain any degree
OF success. When this is considered,
the remarkable physique possessed by
Elsie Wallenda can better be under
stood
Wallenda has announced her inten-
tion of sailing for America, where she
will give series of exhibitions.
The only woman who has ever ap-
preached her performance is Miss An
fne johnson, who in 1889 at Blackpool
remained immersed 3 minutes 1SA

formance, coming so soon on the heels
