Deep Sea Pressure.

The British oceanographers who were
exploring the intermediate depths Of
the Atlantic some $50 miles west Of Ire
land last summer have left us in pain
full doubt as to the meaning Of an in
teresting phenomenon which they OBJ
served. There was some curiosity to see
what would be the effect Of pressure
upon wood in the depths Of the sea, and
so a piece Of common deal match board
ing was sent down on wire to depth
of 5000 feet. 1t came up apparently
unchanged and deep sea pressures were
openly derided. as Mr. George Murray
writes, "by some Of the more frivolous
members Of the expedition. "
The piece of wood was left on deck,
and on the following day, as it was de-
sired to ascertain the drift, il was
thrown overheard Instead of keeping
afoat and performing the service ex-
pected of it, the board sank like a shot,
and there ends the story. The men OF
science might have ventured the theory
that deep sea pressure had forced water
all through the pores and then sessshed
in the ends thereof, leaving che board
permanently waterlogged. but they
cautiously reserved Judgment

RAILROAD SIGNAL Llc4rs.
Proposed Adoption of the English
system on American Roads.


Among American railroad men there
has been a controversy extending over
many years as TO the desirability Of ac-
cepting the English system Of night
signals in place Of the American. At
present a white light displayed along
the line Of an American railroad signi-
ies safety. all well, while red light
signifies danger, look out. and a
green light caution, go slow" These
are the established signals. the red be-
ing the most conspicuous and therefore
the best adapted for the purpose Of Sc
curing immediate attention. On Eng
lish roads the red light is in use in
cases Of danger, but instead Of white
light for safety a green light is used.
and instead Of a green light for caution
a yellow light is used, the three English
railroad colors being red, green and yell
low instead of red, white and green,
used for lilse purposes among American
railroad men,
The proposed change from the exist
ing American to the current English
system has been discussed, recommend
ed, opposed and experimental upon for
a number Of Years, with the result OF
an apparent agreement among railroad
men that white is not a suitable color
for a signal 1t is indistinct and is sub
iect to two other objections-its sim
ilarity to ordinary lights used for illumi-
nation and the fact that a railroad Ian
tern, if broken, gives out a white lighl.
If. therefore, as is argued red lantern
should be broken on one side and the
glass should fall ont, it would emit a
white light which would indicate safety
to the engineer whereas the real sig
nifcance Of the signal was danger the
exact contrary. Recently the New
York, New Haven and Hartford rail
road has made a change in its night
signals in accordance with the English
system and it is gradually putting it
into operation Oh the various divisions
Of the road. The management Of the

question Of signals and has adopted this
new system after a long series Of expert
ments by experts. A green light is easier
seen at night than white one, al .
yellow shows very well in the dark and
is easily distinguishable along the road.
Moreover, since the adoption Of the
modern method of electric lighting on
passenger cars white is the general
color for such interior illumination. an
additional reason why it should be dis
carded for signal purposes. The objec-
ton to the change, however. comes
from the fact that railroad men from
long usage have become accustomed 70
the present American system and that
some confusion might perhaps result
from the attempt to substitute one light
for another without general knowledge
of the change. New York sun.
