Railroad officials are interested in a
safety device which has recently been
patented. by which n train dispatcher
has control of trains on his division
over every mile of track, says the Chi
cagO Tribune. 1t consists of Il series Of
semaphores placed at frequent intervals
along the track, which can be raised
and lowered by the dispatcher without
leaving his desk.
1t is proposed to use in connection
with this device telephones, so that the
conductor of Il stopped train can com
municate at once with the train dis
patcher and receive new orders. More
over, the agents at stations along the
line have control of the SemaphoreS on
either side of them, so that If they see
a train running by under wrong orders
they can stop it at the next semaphore.
The mechanism of the new device is
extremely simple, being operated by
electricity obtained from half a dozen
dry cells at each semapliore post. The
dispatcher is notified by red light on
the switchboard in front of him that
the semaphore has been raised, and
when it is raised by station agent
along the line his attention IS called to
it by the ringing of n bell

EGG SUCKING FEAT.
Italian Ate Four Dozen I'm Eight Min
utes, Then Drank Vinegar.

To be able to suck eggs expeditiously
is not much of an accomplishment, but
when man is able in eight minutes to
devour in that way the raw contents of
four dozen eggs ii is gastronomic
feat of no mean significance, says q
special dispatch from Marion, o., to
the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Dominicl
Angelo, an Italian living in Martel,
east of Marion, recently performed this
feat in the presence of about thirty
Of the villagers, who had gathered at
the general merchandise store. Then
after finishing the last egg Angelo
drank half pint of strong vinegar.
Now, Angelo, to give further evil
dence of his skill at egg sucking, says
that If he is paid So he will consume
five dozen eggs in succession and will
follow the feast by quafiing a pint Of
whisky This feat. local authorities
state. will surely result in Angeles
death, as the whisky will harden the
albumen of the eggs and render it in
digestible Angelo, however, says that
he will do 1t as soon as the So is forth
coming.
The exhibition given the other night
resulted from banter made by James
Shamrock, an acquaintance of Angelo.
The Italian said that his robust health
is due considerably to the number of
raw eggs which he consumed. He de-
clared that he can suck more eggs in
a shorter period of time than any man
he has ever met. Shamrock offered to
pay for two dozen eggs if Angelo
would devour them. and the Italian
went him one better by making it four
dozen

A new railway switch engine signal
designed to prevent accidents through
misplaced switches has been invented
by Anthony J. PieSZak and Frank II.
Poole of Dunkirk, y. y. The device
consists of a machine which automat-
ically places Il torpedo on the rail a
certain distance from the siding when
the switch is thrown open, says the
Cleveland Plain Dealer. If the engi-
neer hears the report of the torpedo, he
knows that the switch ahead is open
and can instantly apply the brakes and
avert an accident. Great loss of life
has been occasioned when switches
have been left open by forgetful or
malicious persons and also when
