USES THE SKY AS MIRROR.
Mirageesceps the Invention Of Man
in Pueblo, Col, for Purpose Of
Preventing Wrecks.

Among the many recent devices de-
signed for the purpose Of preventing
railroad collisions by giving timely
warning to the engineer in the cab OF
the presence Of another train within the
danger belt, one Of the most ingenious
is the invention Of Sherman M. Hobson,
Of Pueblo, Col, who is the state agent
for the Colorado Humane society.
This device was called to the attention
of President Loree, Of the Chicago, Rock
Island & Pacific railroad while making
ap official visit Of inspection over the
southern part Of that system recently
He became interested in the conttiyainSe.
It is said to make use of the principle
Of the mirage and for that reason Is
called the mirageoscope. The inventor
claims to have worked out effectively
the theory that the sky forms mirror.
His apparatus reproduces reflections In
the sky and enables the operator to see
the whole country within radius Of six
miles from his position. A train Of cars
equipped with the mirageoscope, there
fore can be forewarned six miles ahead.
Although Mr.. Hobson does not claim
that his instrument is in a perfected
condition, he says that he has on several
occasions prevented train wrecks by its
use. The mirageoscope enabled the
Denver & Rio Grande Railroad company
to capture would-be train wrecker and
at another time 1t detected an incendiary
In the act Of setting fire to bridge.
