there is an operating tower in which
one or more men are continually on
duty A train, for example, at sixty
miles an hour, enters block, COM
pletes an electrical connection and au-
Dramatically the semaphore rises to dam
ger. While the train is on that block
the towernfan is powerless to change
the signal. Only when the train has
passed into the second block and
the next semaphore is set at dam
ger, can the operator pull the first
signal down and allow q following train
to proceed. Before the train can
pass the third signal and enter the
stretch between two groups of blocks,
the first towerman must signal to the
man controlling the next group for the
unlock" This he does by a code of
bells, the towerman ahead pulls the
lever controlling the third semaphore,
and the train rushes on toward the
next group of blocks, to go through the
same process there. 1t is impossible
for signal guarding a block to be
altered while train is on that block

operators assistance is necessary to
indicate the fact to the engineer. The

beds has gone the task Of removing as
far as possible all dangerous curves
and heavy grades.
New Types of bridges.
Perhaps, however, American railroad
engineers have been most successful in
developing new types of bridges. The
old draw bridge which revolved on
fixed pivot in the center has to a con-
siderable extent been superseded by a
modern application of the principle of
the medieval draw bridge across
which lay the road to the castle gate.
But between the few planks crossing a
marrow moat and hoisted by chains
and windlasses turned by hand and
great steel structure carrying four
tracks, whose tons of metal are raised
by some of the most elaborate ma
chinery we have, there is little resem-
blance. The chief advantage which
this complex creation has over the
older revolving draw bridge is the
greater exactness and solidity with
which, when down, the tracks upon 1t
are jointed with those on the fixed
spans, thus removing one more posi-
bility of disaster. The roller lift, the
type of bridge, in which one end is
raised upon the rolling axis of the
: other, is being built on many roads.
On these bridges a train can run over
bed as firm as that which led It
to them. Even did an engineer pass
the warning signals when the bridge
was raised, his train would not plunge
| into the water. Derailing switches
would turn the train from the track
| and thus bring it to a stop.
The safeguarding of the public on the
| thoroughly equipped modern railway
is not confined to that portion of the
| people who ride upon the trains. The
deadly grade crossing is gradually be-
| ing eliminated.
Over modern road beds. guarded by
modern signal systems, the traveller or

cause to envy the European.

Equally foreign to the method OF

at its coming session to appropriate
one million dollars annually for the
next few years. to be devoted to the
establishment and equipment of suit

New York, Nov. IA series Of de-
plorable accidents on railways rum
ming through sparsely settled portions
of the United States has recently
caused a good deal of discussion of
American railway management and
unfavorable comparisons between
methods employed here and abroad,
especially in England. Nevertheless
the achievements of American railway
builders and managers rank among
the most important in the industrial
world and 1t is a fact that many
American railroads are gradually be-
ing brought to a state of perfection
IN the matter of safety which equals
and perhaps exceeds the English
standard often called the highest in
the world. English and Continental
railways were built In countries al
ready densely populated where large
volume Of traffic was assured from the
start. American railroads on the
other hand were often constructed in
sections which were at the time OF
their building practically uninhabited.
Had it been necessary at the start to
construct railways here as they were
constructed abroad it is safe to say
that the lines would never have been
built at all.
Perfection in Safety.
In the thickly settled portions OF the
United States such railroads as the
Pennsylvania, the New York Central,
the New York, New Haven and Hart
tord and the leading lines of the Mid
0ie west have practically attained the
Wngllsh standard in respect to safety.

There has been some discussion as
to the method of procedure In acq'nr-
ing and locating these ranges. On the
one hand 1t is thought that the ma
tional board should first provide for
the establishment OF ranges in the VI
cinity of the larger cities, beginning
with New York, Chicago, Philadelphia.
Baltimore, Boston, st. Louis and so
on down the list. On the other hand,
1t is contended that under such pro-
cedure states like Indiana with approx
imately 100000 men eligible for serv-
ice in time Of war would be one OF
be established, as Indianapolis is quite
far down the list of cities according to
Its population.
The same is especially true of the
Southern states where the population
Is largely rural, and II is contended
that ii would be very unfair to Geor-
gia, Alabama, Mississippi Florida and
other Southern states IL the plan should
be adopted OF establishing ranges in
states according to the population OF
their cities. A proposition to establish
these ranges in the states according to
the quota of their National Guard Is
also being considered, but the plan OF
establishing one range in each state be-
fore other states shall be allowed more
than one range is receiving favorable
consideration.
The national board consists Of TWEEN
ty-one members, including Off
GERS of the army and navy
and militia officers, trustees OF
, the National Rifle Association and ci-
villains, from all parts Of the country,
so that whatever plan Of procedure is
adopted 1t is safe 20 assume II will be
one which will be fair to all the states
desiring the establishment Of such
ranges.
