DOUBLL HEADLIGHT.
Device to Be Used on Locomotives
Promises Safer Travel
Electric Apparatus to Give a BcR m Of
G.UuO Candle Power, Of which
Oue-Third L. Reelected
In the Air.

The locomotives of fast passenger
trains in the future will be equipped
with powerful electric double-ray head
lights. designed to give added safety to
all trains travelling at night. The APP
paratus is so arranged the engineer in
his cab will be able to determine the
proximity of any train within seeing
distance, according to atmospheric con-
ditions, by looking up in the air, as well
as along the track ahead.
The first of these new electric head
lights to be operated in the United
States was placed several months ago
on an engine running between Cincin-
natl and indianapolis. to give it a trial.
The experiment has been a success, and
several of the electric illumna tors. 1t
is understood, will shortly be attached
to fast passengers engines on the same
road running out of the Central depot
in Chicago.
The electric headlight, rcflectors,
dynamo, and steam engine for driving
the motor are the invention of Edgar A.
Edwards. a Cincinnati electrical en-
gineer, who spent over five years in per-
fecting compact and easily handled
piece of machinery.
Besides furnishing an arc headlight
of 1000 candle power and verticle sig
nal beam of 1000 candle power, this
mechanism is designed to supply an
entire train of sleeping cars or passen-
ger coaches with incandescent electric
lights. While the apparatus is designed
specially for railroad service it can be
used on vessels at sea or by the govern
ment service for signaling and other
purposes.
The most important feature of the
system is the plan for utilizing por-
ton of the light as signal to indi-
cate. at distance, the approximate To-
cation of locomotive approaching
from any direction. This is accom-
plished by placing an auxiliary plane
reflector on the headlight case at an
angle of As degrees, in such manner
that one-third of the total 6.00O candle
power of the headlight is projected ver-
tically from 1000 to 1000 feet in the
air, making beam of light that can be
seen from any point within radius of
from five to ten miles according to the
weather,

MEETS GIGANTIC ICEBERG.
British Ship Encounter RS MOuntain of
Ice 600 Feet High and Mile
and = Half Long.

Capt. Fitzgerald, of the British
steamship St. Andrews, which arrived
at New York the other day on its
maiden voyage from Newcastle, Eng
land, says he saw the monarch of the
iceberg fleet on this trip. The st. An
drews is vessel of 4,450 tons, and when
it reached the region of the banks Capt.
Fitzgerald posted double lookouts.
The vessel was steaming at ten knots
on the morning of April in latitude
1928 and longitude At when the man
in the crows nest shouted that icebergs
in plenty could be seen off the star
board bow. The first berg, mountain
200 feet high, was then mile to the
northward. West of it was the giant, a
towering mass of ice 600 feet high and
a mile and half long-so Capt. Fitz-
gerald declares.
The ST. Andrews was soon abreast of
it, and the crew had view of the great
berg, which was nearly oblong in shape,
it's top crowned with spires and pima
cles, displaying all styles of architect
ure. Enormotis fissures and chasms
rent its rugged sides, and the water
that splashed into the sea from one gil
gantic cataract would have swamped
three ships like the St. Andrews.
The berg was one of 13, float
ing from three-quarters of mile to-
mile north of the St. Andrews, but nedf
enough to send the temperature down
far below the freezing point.

An Explanation.

@>FseSSS'VAs
I take this means to inform my nu-
merous friends that the reports which
dame gossip has been circulating con.
corning actions which are credited to me
are without foundation.
A friend of mine, intending an limo.
cent and harmless joke, wrote q letter
to one, Miss Lizzie NJ, with my name
attached. That Miss, thinking that the
letter came direct from headquarters,
copied its contents, making the same
public and sending the original to Yours
Truly. The letter contained some sac
charine effusions, of which had been
the author, ! would have Immediately
placed my head upon the execution
block of the fool-killer.
Being as vet rt-whole and fancy
free, hope my numerous friends, who,
perhaps have sympathized with me on
account of my supposed bruised, broken
and bursted heart and lacsrated feelings,
will consider this sufficient explanation
and no longer consider me q worthy
subject for the lunatic asylum.
Fraternally,
WM. MORRISON.

The subject of this sketch was quite
a bright, interesting little boy, great
favorite among his schoolmates whose
presence will be sadly missed by them
at the next converting Of our school.
He was the idol of his loving parents
and joy to his host Of friends. He bat.
tied with death for quite a period, but
the Good Master called and he obeyed
the summons. Again We feel the force
Of the adsge "death loves a shining
mark" He is gone from among us, he
cannot come to us, but we can 60 to
him where awaits his loving parents and
friends on the bright shores of eternity,
The funeral services were conducted
from the Olive Branch Church by Rev
M. g. Linton, of B'anchester. to crowd
ed house Of sympsthizing friends.
We mourn the sunshine Of his smile,
The tendrils Of bis love;
oh, was he loved too we'll the while
Ere he Was called above?
Our chastened spirits bow in prayer,
And blend al prayers In one.
We have the hope TO meet him there,
When life's full work 10 done.
