Is If several persons were at work.
An amusing incident occurred in
the Denver office of the company last
week. The long distance operator at
Colorado Springs called Denver over
one wire and informed the local office
that another wire was out OF order.
An investigation resulted in report
being made to the effect that the
wire was crossed with dozen others
ard that it was impossible to use it
until the trouble could be located.
An inspector asserted that he be-.
lieved the wire was crossed with one
connecting with the tower of Babel.

Chinaman walked out of q booth,

To Deliver Orders to Trains in Motion.

Mr.. Amos NJ. McKcuna an old Santa

adopted by the company he works for.
The invention consists of large wire
loop fastened 1, The end of stout
stick. Attached - lie loop is a metal
lie case containing Il written copy of
the orders for the locomotive engineer
or conductor. On the stick is signal
lamp and reflector. to give notice to
the engineer of the onthming train that
orders are awaiting him.
The station agent holds up the loop
within reach of the engineer. who
graSps 1t rs he flies past. The wire
loop with the orders attached auto
ma,ically detachcs itself from the stick
and the signal lamp.
This invention will obviatc the ne

orders are telcgraphcd ahead of the
train TO the station agent. who imme-
diately arrangeS his signalling device
and awaits the train. Without slack
