RAILROAD NEWS

The tests of wireless telegraphy on
engines running over the Chicago 4
Alton tracks with a view TO preventing
wrecks have proved so successful that
GeneralM Manager Goodnow and others
OFFICIALS OF that road believe all the
company's engines will be equipped
with the apparatus by September l..
The equipment Is being manufactured
as rapidly as possible In the Alton
shops at Bloomington.
Under the system adopted each en-.
CINE, carrying its own wireless signal
apparatus, constitutes the center OF a
movable block, travelling with the
train, %stonDing when the train stops,
and affording effective protection for
a radius of, say, two miles front and
rear. The radius of this danger zone
may be greater OF less. according to
the requirements Of any particular
railroad, but ono determined upon, It
must be i%nvariable for all trains on
that road.
Under the eve Of the engineer In
the cab Is an indicator which keeps
him informed every moment Of the,
conditions within the block Of which
he Is the constant center. II a, train
approaches within two miles to the
rear, a green light shows on the In.
dictator am a warning bell calls his
attention. II the i~ntruding train is
within two miles to the front. a red
light flashes and the bell rings.
Variation in the stroke Of the bell
and the flashes Of light tell whether
the other train Is moving in the same
or opposite direction to that on which
the signals are received. For in
stance. on a road running east and
west the standard signal may be a
single stroke of the bell and a single
flash of light for all trains running
east to west and a triple stroke of the
bell and triple flash of light for all
trains running west to east. with an
interval of four seconds between sig.
nails. The colored light continues to
flash and the bell to ring so long as
there are two trains within the danger
zone. These signals are reciprocal,
and the engineers on both trains re-
ceive their warnings at the same in;
slant. So long as the track is clear
for two miles front and rear a steady
white light burns on the indicator and
the bell is silent.
The apparatus which accomplishes
this is mounted on the top of Che en-
CINE cab, and consists of a Hertzian
wave transmitter and receiver. abso-
lutely automatic in their action and
fully protected from injury OF the pos
sibility of being tempered with. The
transmitting mechanism is so con-
structed that 1t automatically sends
out a constant stream of regularly
recurrent signals effective throughout
the predetermined radius. The re-
ceiving instrument on each train Is
insensible to the signals sent out by
its companion transmitter, but Is at
fected the instant another train ap-
proaches from front or rear within
the fixed danger zone. The signals
are entirely aerial, as in the Marconi
telegraph system, and the apparatus
has no connection whatever with the

track or wires.
An important feature Of this meth
cd Of signalling Is the fact that had
weather such as snow, rain, fog. or
electrical storms, has no Influence
upon the transmission and reception
of signals: In fact, the signals are
rather clearer In heavy weather than
otherwise II Is, Of course, essential
that signals should be received only
by trains on the same track on which
they are transmitted. To achieve this,
use has been made OF the principle
known as the polarization OF the Hert.
zian wave, The apparatus Is so cor.
structed that the Hertzian wave can
enter only such receiver rs Is adjust
cd to the transmitter from which It
emanates. BY this means trains may
be running side by side on double or
four.track lines. and the signals emit.
ted on any m track cannot be re.
ceived on any other track.

When the Santa Fe train was wreck.

George Luce. gave one OF the finest
exhibitions Of nerve ever seen. A San
Bernardino paper says:
When the engine went into the
ditch IT. fell over toward the engi-
neer's side and Engineer Luce. who
attempted to jump, was caught by
the left foot between the engine and
the tender. The other foot was free.
and he was able to stand up on 1t. For
more than thirty minutes. while a
score of men we're attempting to jack
the engine up and extricate him. he
stood with lips compressed, watching
them at their work and directing
them. Toward the last the pain grew
unbearable and he became so weak
and faint that it was necessary to hold
him up. .

The education in corn breeding
which the Kansas state agricultural
college proposes to give March . and
8 should attract the farmers Of this
county. Such opportunity il worth
taking advantage Of. The farmers of
Kansas are mot raising as much grain
per acre as they should. They are
making less money than they should
in consequences. 1t is the shortest
way TO making big returns on the
land to SOW the best possible seed.
The work Of experimenters has shown
that this pays and pays well. With

tionaI advantages offered in getting
better results from corn-breeding or
in proper selection Of seed the state
would receive great benefit.

asking Senator Brewer to vote for the
house bill and Of course received many
signeEp. Bat dozen or more have
told the writer that they did not
know the difference between the house
bill and the senate bill. Mr.. Brewer
wrote TO many Of the sIgnsrS asking
them what especial features Of the
house bill they commended and several
replied that they did not kuow-go
ahead and use bic own judgment
But another petition was circulated
