just as they We're given.
Records may be repeated as often
as desired, but. as soon as there Is no
further need to keep them they may
be wiped out by passing a strong mag
net over the wire, thus making 1t
ready for use again.
In this way the possibility Of error
In train dispatching orders will be
greatly reduced There is no need to
trust to the memory, as the orders are
there upon the wire and can be re-
ferred to at any time. The records
can be transferred for future refer
ence by connecting the receiver of the
machine in daily use with the trans
mitter of a large storage telephone.
Should any mistake occur, the respon-
sibility can Immediately be located
by reference to the records on the
storage machine, an indicator show
ing on just what portion of the wire
any particular record has been made.
The record will give SO perfect a re-
production of the dispatcher's voice,
even after months have elapsed, that
it can at once be recognized.

to house the material at it's landing
place in Africa and at the starting
point of the railway. Locomotives,
cars and bridges were carried up the
Congo in pieces, and put together
where they were needed on the line.
Some of the gangs of labOrers were
superintended by young natives, who
had been trained for years in the In
dustrial schools of the government or
the missionary societies.
The extent of navigation available
for steamers on the Congo is now well
known, and the purpose is to carry
railways around the few parts of the
river which are Obstructed by rapids,
so as to extend unbroken steam trans
portation to the end of the farthest
navigable reach of the stream. By
building this new railway the Congo
State had added 261 miles of steam
transportation to the 1925 miles al
ready in operation between the Congo
mouth and Stanley Falls. Navigation
is again impeded at Kindu, 1856 miles
above the terminus of the new rail-
way, and the government intends to
begin at once the building of the third
and last stretch of railway along the
river from Kindu to Bull, about $50
miles, above which there is uninter-
rupted navigation for small steamers
fer S72 miles, where the importance
Of the river for large commercial pur.
poses practically ends.
The total length Of steam transpor-
tation along the Congo when the last
mile of rails is laid will be 2,144 miles,
OF which 1,54S miles will by water and
sos miles by land; and the end OF this
long route will be in touch with the
great mining region OF Katanga, which
is said to be as rich as Rhodesia in
gold, while the prospects of copper
production are perhaps unsurpassed in
any other part of the world. The i'm
portance of extending transportation
to this region is stimulating the eff
forts of the Congo government. It
remains to be seen whether the Congo
rail and water route will reach this
southeast corner of the state before
the branch of the Cape to Cairo rail-
way arrives at the same destination.

MAKES RECORD OF ORDERS.
Telegraphone Will Go Far Toward
Preventing Railroad Accidents.

If experiments which are being
made with a new device, known as the
telegraphone, succeed, another long
step toward the prevention of railroad
accidents will have been taken. The
advantages which the telegraphone
affords in train dispatching have at
tracted the serious attention Of rail-
road officials, and it is expected that
before long the new apparatus will
be in use on several of the big rail-
road systems.
The telegraphone makes a perma-
nent record Of all train-dispatching or
ders sent by the telegraph ticker or
over the telephone wire. The sound
waves set up by the ticker act upon

the nomination for governor, for which
there are three candidates in the field,
Col. Charles H. Greanleaf, Winston
