To Prevent Railway Accidents.

An automatic railway accident pre-
venter. invented by an electrician NAM
ed Rudolph Bartelmus of Vienna, has
been tested by body of expert rail-
way managers with satisfactory re-
suits, says the New York World. The
main idea is to put the engineer in d.
rect communication with all the signal
boxes by electrical apparatus on the
engine, contact being effected by a
third rail. The signalman can thus
make red light burn on the locomo-
tive in front of the engineer, while an
electrical bell will ring until the engi-
neer switches it off. On the other
hand the contrivance causes Il bell TO
ring in the signal box as soon as the
train is within 5000 yards. Finally. II
one train approaches another on the
same rail within 3,000 yards, red lights
burn automatically on the locomotive.

Will Establish an Information Bu-
remu For the Benefit of Visitors.
One Of the features OF the beautiful
new fence which number of the old
er classes have united to erect around
the Harvard yard is small lodge
which is intended to be used as head
quarters for a kind of information
bureau" mainly for the benefit of the
increasing number of visitors who
come to Cambridge every year with
the idea. as the college joke has it. of
"going through Harvard in days
sightseeing. The university has recent
ly established also a system of under
graduate guides, the guides of former
years-many of them more or less ire
sponsible Changers on''-having dis
scminated so much INSTRUMENTATION
ancnG their victims that for the pro-
terii0n of every one concerned some
step OF this kind had to be taken.
The new lodge was built by the class
of 1877. OF which Governor William E..
Russell was member. 1t Is at the
nearest entrance to the car line from
Boston and is therefore in the best
possible location to serve as a center
of information. The official in charge
will be surrounded with printed matter
concerning the various departments of
the university and will thus be in a
position to answer practically every
possible question about the college,
from the present residence of newly
arrived freshman to the past history
Of the Oldest and most historic of the
Harvard buildings. The lodge will also
probably be equipped with telephone.
which will be at the service of the
students during any hour Of the day
or night.
