Oh the rails while rounding a curve in
either direction, and turn them into line
with the track again as soon as The
Straight road is reached. In this in
yentlon tie headlight is mounted on
q revolving Platform, instead Of being
attached directly to the boiler, which IS
geared to a vertical rod running down
ward to the forward truck OF the el-
CINE. As this truck is the first to feel
the bend of the rail on reaching 4
curve. and turns itself accordingly, it
revolvas the rod in one direction or the
other, which turns the lamp cores
pondirgly and throws the light on the
curve. The instant the locomotive
reaches the straight track again 5he
light is thrown straight ahead, having
already crossed the track once il fol
lowing the curve, thus giving the en-
gineer a view OF the line for some dis
lance ahead while yet on the curve,
an impossibility with fixed headlight.

NEW SWISS
LEE pRESERVER
With It Shipwrecked Person Gould
Float and Subsist.

T took two citizens Of Switzerland
to design the life-saving apparatus
shown in the accompanying draw
n ing, and possibly it might be well
to suggest that third should devote
his attention to an arrangement for
slowing it in small compass when not
in use. as it is quite n bulky looking
affair. The basis of the equipment is
a float to be attached to the back of a
person before entering the water, while
connected with it and fastened to the
chest by straps is a divided compart-
ment containing provisions and drink.
The float consists Of two cylinders
placed end to end and Theoretically
sealed, with eyelets for fastening the
straps in position. The provision and
drink chamber consists of an elongated
reservoir, of crescent shape: It's in
terror is divided horizontally into three
Compartments, containing drinking
water, a stimulant and an auxiliary air
chamber for relieving the body of the
weight Of the apparatus. Leading out
of the various compartments are tubes
coming within reach of the mouth of
the person. enabling him to partake
Of the contents OF the chambers with
out effort, and also preventing the
salt water from gaining an entrance to
injure the contents. Above the upper
reservoir are three fat cases for con
tanning condensed foods, with tight.

II. Bowerman, and he claims that this
arrangement viii slip the end of an en-
velope instantly without danger to the
contents. As will be seen by a glance
at the cut, rotary cutting blade is
pivoted underneath the Y-shapeI
trough which carries the envelope. All
that is necessary to put the cutter in
operation is to strike the envelope q
smart blow to slide the contents to one
end, insert the opposite end in the
trough and press the wire bale at
tached to the two gear wheels. AS
these wheels are geared to the small
cutter the latter is rotated by the de-
preston of the bale, causing the spiral
blade to clip the edge from the envel-
ope projecting through the slot in the
trough. A spring raises the bale as
soon as the finger is lifted, and the
cutter is then ready for the next en-
velope.

strop, provided with two handles, is
threaded around three rolls. The me-
chanism is such shat, directly either
end of the strop is pulled, the razor
swings over to that side until its edge
meets the leather. When the pull is
reversed the razor is detected to the
opposite strap and the other side Of the
edge is treated to the stropping pro-
cess. This arrangement prevents the
cutting Of the strop and insures keen
edge. While, no doubt, the profession
al tonsorial artist will look upon the
invention with disdain, the man of the
safety razor type will find it a great
boon.

fitting covers 10 exclude the moisture.
Fastened To one side OF the reservoir
is a pistol for use in attracting atten-
ton. The inventors also mention q
megaphone. a compass and a chart OF
the vessels course as articles which
might be added. while mast and sail
also have their place in the equipment.
It IS quite certain that if a ship
wrecked man succeeded in equlpping
himself with this apparatus he could
maintain life for several days and,
perhaps, weeks.
