General Funston says that under favor

Some six hundred hearts were hid
den about in the library, and prizes
were given for those finding the most.
The winners Of the first prizes were
Teresa Long. and Waldo Twitchell,

Gus Rothgeb. The large hall was
used for games, and jolly time was
had by ALL The art room was taste
fully decorated with plants and bunt-
ing, and the long table was trimmed
with flowers and red hearts. Delicious
refreshments of ice cream and cake
were served, and the evening passed
away only too quickly On the whole
it was one of the most enjoyable
parties the students have ever given.

it passes over it as it is intended. AS
the engine passes over, however, the
attachment is so arranged as to trip
a valve, throwing the brakes into the
emergency and bringing the train to
stand still in few seconds.
The air hose on every train extends
out through to the COW catcher so that
the engine can be coupled onto cars
ahead when so desired, and the only
extra attachment needed with the new
invention will be the valve under the
engine so placed as to be operated by
the piece of sheet iron on the rail. The
whole thing is so simple that the cost
will be small and the danger OF get
ting out of order very slight.
The value of such an attachment can
be readily seen even by those not IA
miliar with railroading. If for any
reason train has to stop on the road
while another train is following closely,
the hagman can be supplied with one
of these attachments and sent pack
to attach it at proper distance In the
rear. When the train approaches, II
it is foggy or dark so that the signals
cannot be seen, the little attachment
on the rail will get in it's work and
bring the train to a stand still whether
or no. 1t is believed that 1T viii be a
sure preventative of rear end collisions
under certain conditions. 1t can be
used to stop a moving train when this
Is desired under any circumstances. 1t
has yet to be given practical test,
but so far as any one has been able
to see, the principle is practical and
all right
1t is understood that the Boston &
Maine is seriously considering the
feasibility of giving the invention
thorough trial and that an engine Will
be equipped with the device for this
purpose. If it works as it is expected
to it will prove great advantage IN

WATERVIIILE.
TO PREVENT TRAIN COLLISIONS.
Telegraph Operator at Portland Has In
vention for this Purpose.

Railroad men in this vicinity are
watching with a great deal of interest
the development of an attachment in
vented by one of the operators in the
train dispatcher's office in Portland,
which is intended to prevent the rear
collision of trains when anything goes
wrong so that there is any danger of
an accident of this kind. The affair
is very simple and is said to be alto
gether different from anything that has
yet been devised for the purpose. There
have been many attempts to produce
something that would stop a moving
train in an emergency from outside the
train itself, but. they have not been
wholly satisfactory. 1t is believed that
the present arrangement, will prove
satisfactory and that it can be manu-
featured and attached very cheaply in
deed. .5E
The invention consists of a small tri-
angular piece of sheet iron of about
the thickness of gpasteboard, that can
be securely clamped to one rail. 1t is
so f1impsy that there is not the slight
est danger of derailing the train when
