BERLIN HORSE MARKET.
Quotations for Fat Animals TO
Slaughtering Have Fallen.

BY Exclusive Wire from The Associated Press.
Berlin, Nov. 19.-Quotations here for
fat six hundred pound horses for
slaushtering have fallen from $3.50 and
$40 to $25, and for fair to mddling and
lean from $50 to $lS.75 TO $40, owing to
the exposure of the large quantities of
horse meat sold as beef or used for
making sausages. Horse flesh has long
been IA regular article of food, but
municipal ordinances in most cities re-
quire that it shall not be sold as such
The extraordinary high prices of meat
however, have caused extensive evus-
ions of the law, and great increase in
the sale of horse steaks and soup bones
as beef. While the German frontiers
are closed to the Importation of live
cattle, the prohibition does not apply to
old, broken-dow horses, which are
brought by shiploads from England
especially to Hamburg and Bremen
and are fattened for butchering.
1t Is predicted that IA sharper en-
forcement of the horse meat ordinances
is likely TO resuls in slight increase
in the prices of meat and particularly
of sausages.

NEW DEPARTURE IN
RAILROAD SIGNALS
Engines VIII Carry Vertical
and Horizontal Lights.
CAN BE SEEN FOR TEN MILES
Chicago, Milwaukee and ST. Paul Rail-
road Has Made a Successful Expert
ment With d Uevice Which Will Re-
duce Danger of Collisions.

Chicago, Feb. ia practical de-
monstration of the utility of a new
departure which. it is claimed by rail
way officials, will effectively prove the
solution in a large degree of the rail
way collision problem was made last
night on the Chicago. Milwaukee and
st. Paul road near here
The device consists of an exceeding
ly powerful headlight, which not only
perfectly illuminates the track with
an intensely brilliant shaft of light for
a distance of a mile. but also embraces
the striking and novel feature of a
beam Of light Of almost equal brillian-
cy penetrating over 700 feet above.
which can be clearly seen 10 miles dis
tant. 1t is thereby possible for ap-
preaching trains to absolutely locate
each other by this vertical shaft OF
light though miles apart, and it is this
feature which railroad officials claim
will eliminate the possibility of COLI
sion.
This vertical beam Will, in hilly
country especially where cruves in
the track are numerous, so positively
fix the location Of trains that moth
ing but carelessness on the part of
enginemen will permit a collision.
The apparatus consists Of a power
full electric arc headlight. a dynamo
and steam motor, all of which occupy
the space on the locomotive usually
devoted to the headlight. The dynamo
which generates the current for this
vertical searGhIight occupies a space
Of less than Is inches wide directly
behind the headlight and is operated
by motor driven by steam impact on
a turbine wheel
The current is 5000 candlepower,
which can be reduced to any degree
of brilliancy at the will Of the engi-
neer
