passes up over two idlers at the center
of the indicator and thence to a takeup
roller at the top. The portion of the

In operating this indicator the at

press a button, and the mechanism
will automatically wind up, the web
stopping when the roller has made one
complete revolution, which will bring
the next station or street name into
view. The web Is long enough to have

to the shaft of the lower roller, by the

Making Car Wheels Strong.
Some remarkable tests on car wheels
have recently been made at the fOun-
dries of the New York Car Wheel
works. at Black Rock, says the Buffa-
10 Express. The company is filling an
order for a special quality of wheels to
be used under one hundred thousand
pound capacity cars The requirements
for wheels for such work are very Sc
we're, and railroad engineers have re-
garded that proposition as one OF the
most difficult to be faced in modern
railroading.
The specifications and test require
ments of the Master Car Builders as
ISOLATION require wheels to stand ten
blows of weight of 40 pounds fall
ing twelve feet, the wheel being placed
horizontally, supported at three points
on the flange. Some railways also re-
quire the wheels to stand the thermal
test, which consists of casting a band
of molten iron one and one-half inches
thick by four inches wide around the
wheel tested. The test demonstrates
the ability of the wheel to withstand
excessive heating from brake service.
The roads inspector selects three
wheels from each lot of 100 offered,
and IL any one fails to meet the test
requirements the lot is rejected. 1t can
be seen that the tests are sefere, even
in regular practice.

Every cause capable of increasing
the amount of blood ordinarily cir
culating through the brain has a tend
ency to cause wakefulness, says The
Popular Science News. If the brain is
often kept for long periods on the
stretch. during which the vessels are
filed TO repletion. they cannot contract
even when the exciting causes cease.
Wakefulness, as n consequence, re-
suits, and every day the condition of
the individual becomes worse because
time brings the force of habit into
operation. Everything that tends to
throw the blood unduly to the brain
or to accumulate it there should be
avoided. This is a vital matter, and
prevention is better than cure.
Tight or Ill fitting articles of dress,
especially about the neck or waist. and
tight boots and shoes, should be dis
carded. The feet should be kept warm
so that the circulation may be promot-
ed. Wearing cork soles in the boots or
shoes and changing the socks every
day are excellent means to this end
and strongly recommended. Apart,
however, from physical causes, there
are various moral causes acting on the
brain equally inimical to sleep. What
ever keeps the attention fully aroused
keeps the blood vessels of the brain
distended, and the consequences of
that we know. On the other hand.
when the attention begins to flag the
tendency is for the vessels to contract
and for sleep to ensue. ~
