WILL SAVE OIL.
Invention of Santa Fe Men For Use
on Engines.

James Collision, general master
mechanic, and Milton Player, division
master mechanic, are the inventors of
improved grease cup for use in luO
ricating the connections of the side-rods
and the crank-pins of the driving
wheels.
The cup is the same as an ordinary
one, except that in the hole where the
oil is poured a threaded plug is placed.
Under this and in the space formerly
occupied by the lubricant is packed a
kind of grease automatically pressed
When the engineer wishes to oil up
those parts he simply takes a wrench,
gives the plug a turn and the grease
is pushed down against the warm
bearings, in this way accomplishing
fabrication.
The saving results from the fact that
just enough grease is supplied to the
bearings to keep them in the proper
condition and without waste as in the
case of the ordinary oil which is diff
cult to retain. The grease is purchased
already prepared for use.

CHANGE WATER CARS.
They Are Beng Made Into Oil Tank
Cars.

Because of the demand for a means OF
transporting oil in the southern and
western fields the order has been given
to convert the 100 tank cars which were
to have been used for water into those
that can be utilized for handling petrol
cum. The principal change is in putting
in pipes for heating the oil in cold
weather, although Remembering will
also be necessary.
The water cars are like those for oil
in every way except that they are not
supplied with the means of heating.
This gives the cars without the heater
pipes about 100 gallons greater capacity
than those with them. The water tanks
are built at Peoria, ILL.,, and those for
oil at Chicago. Ten of the former class
have been received here and were set
in this morning to be given the changes
probable that the order of a hundred
water tanks will be placed again be-
fore long

AUTOMATIC ENGINE SIGNAL
Clever Device For Blocking Trains Is
Being Tested.

It is reported that the Pennsylvania
Railroad company is considering the
adoption of an automatic electric-signal
system on it's locomotives says the
recently tested by the Chicago & East
ern Illinois railroad, between Dolton
and Momence, Ill, a distance of 60
miles, The result of the experiment
was very satisfactory and seemed to
show that the electric signals were far
better than the ordinary block sys-
tenn.
In the experiments conducted by the
Chicago & Eastern Illinois, the line was
divided into block sections of suitable
length, and adjacent block sections
were separated by an insulated track
section one rail in length. The track
batteries were placed at these points,
the positive wire leading to the insula-
ted rail and the negative wire to the
block section in the rear. The rails in
each block We're bonded in the usual
way. In the engine cab were located
two incandescent signal lamps, one
white and the other red. One or the
other of these is always burning. Cur
rent was supplied by battery on the
engine or tender and was switched
from one lamp to the other by an in
strument operated by the track circuit.
Each locomotive axle had electrical
connection with a conductor leading to
the instrument on the engine. when
the wheels entered the insulated sec
ton Gf the stop signal was to be given)
the current passed from the rail through
the wheel conductor and cab instru-
ment. switching the lighting circuit to
the red lamp.
In this system the signal is always
given two blocks back from the OBJ
structed block or the train-order sig
nal, so that when the red lamp burns
the engineer knows that he has one
clear block in which to stop his train.
The red lamp burns when a switch is
open, a block section occupied or a
train-order signal displayed.

much easier for young man who has

Finally, in conclusion, would say that
there is no question as to the value of q

TWENTY DAYS LEFT.
Orient Must Soon Select Site For
Wichita Shops.

Wichita, Oct. 31.-One of the principal
topics of conversation at the present
time is when the Kansas City, Mexico
& Orient railway are going to enter this
city, where they will place their depot
and yards and what is most important
of all, what will be the location of their
shops
Wichita is to have the principal ma
chine shops and the general offices of
the company between Kansas City and
the Texas line The company is work
ing on the line between Harper and An
thony, and the line is almost complete
between Anthony and the Red river,
and it is expected that work will begin
on the line between Harper and this
city by December /.
In the ordinance calling for a special
election to vote bonds for the Orient
railroad it is stated that the road
should be in operation through this
city by December 81, 1894. and that the
company should select the site for the
shops and terminal facilities within one
year from the day that the bond propo-
Sition was voted on. That date was
November 20. 1900, SO the Orient people
must select the site for their shops
within 20 days.

ABOLISH ELECTRIC LIGHTS.
Missouri Pacific Will Use Kerosene
Signal Lamps.

The Missouri Pacific has issued a pc
culiar order. The new order was to
the effect that all Semaphor or station
signal lights which are lit by electricity
should hereafter be lighted with kero-
sene oil lamps, as the electricity or in
old-fashioned and puts the modern Mis-
souri, Pacific in the light of going back
to tallOW candle methods. But there is
a good reason for the change. The re-
sponsibility of keeping the light burn
ing falls the agent and the agent is
not in position to keep an electric light
burning if the plant chooses to shut
down for a few minutes and sometimes
incandescent lights have a habit of go
ing out for a few minutes at a time.
With an oil lamp, after the agent has
filled and lighted it, there is no posi-
bility of it going out if it is properly
cared for.
