sEARCHLIGHT FOR TROLLEYs.
Suburban Line Cars Fitted With New
 Attachment.

Hartford, Oct 26.-The latest i'm provement to trolley cars on some of the suburban lines running out of this city is an electric headlight. Those thus far fitted with 1t are the New Britain, Rainbow and Springfield, east side lines. It Is an emergency light and throws its rays several hun dred feet in advance of the car. bring ing out everything in its path distinct E.
 The headlight on these cars Is a combination affair, consisting of a strong incandescent electric lamp and an arc light, the latter, above the in- cadescent. They the backed by a powerful reflector. They are. which provides the searchllght, is connected by special wiring, by plug and both lights are controlled by the motorman of the car. The, incandescent furnish es the ordinary illumination for the headlight.
 The searchlight can be put in play by the turning of button, which 1t the same time turns off the incandes- cent. The searchlight is not intended for use within the city where the streets are sufficiently lighted, but is used much of the time, in the country districts. An emplOye of the road said today, that on recent trip to New Britain so strong was the search light that he was able to count fifteen trolley poles in advance of the car. This would be about 2.OOO feet.
