CATCH TRAINS ON FLY

Inventors Ingenious Scheme to Save
Stopping Expenses.
Frank Roster Of Berlin, has devised
means to enable passengers to board a
train in motion with their luggage,
thing that We all have been longing
for when seeing our train dash through
a station at which it is not bound to
STOP The system requires an auxil-
larry track and a motor running on 1t,
neither of which we can find when in
a hurry. The proposal may answer,
however, under certain conditions
The auxiliary track consists of threa
sections. The first section is inclined
one way, the middle section horizontal
the third section inclined the other
way. When the train approaches the
motor starts on its inclined path with
increasing speed. The auxiliary track
is parallel to the main line and may be
situated between the two lines. When
both trains have attained equal speed
a bridge is lowered from on of the
onto the long motor car. The passen-
ger may then step over and have his
luggage thrown after him. On the
third inclined section the motor comes
to rest again. The auxiliary track
would have a length OF say half a
mile. II the main line is itself inclin-
ed in the opposite way, so that the
train passes over the middle section
with reduced speed, all the better.

UsiIzine Refuse from elias. works.

UtiIizing Refuse from Glass Works.
For several years scientists and
chemists have been conducting expert
ments and researches, with a view to
discover a means of utilizing immense
heaps of spent sand and glass, dis
carded as refuse by the plate glass
manufacturers. Messrs. Pilkington
Brothers. who are probably the largest
glass manufacturers in Great Britain
have an accumulation OF 800 900 tons
Of this residue at their works at St
Helen, in Lancashire. and over 200
tons are added to this huge pile every
week. The question OF the profitable
disposal of this waste has long oecu-
pied their serious attention. DR.. Or
mondy, however, has discovered a
means OF converting this refuse into
serviceable bricks He has subjected
some of the bricks that he manufac-
tured from this material to very severe
tests. The experiments have been en-
inent1y successful, and bricks manufac-
tured from this waste will soon be
placed upon the market. The process
is said to be economical and cheap.
The bricks are said to be of the high
est quality, and particularly adapted to
special operations, besides ordinary
building purposes, for which bricks

was travelling westward in a Pullman

began to talk with his neighbor, who
proved to be a rich but rough cattle

the cattleman, who presently said:
