A BURLINGTON INVENTION.
switch Operating Mechanism Patented
by Junius Harness

Junius Barnes of this city has just had
patented at Washington, D. G.. Il switch
operating mechanism for cars 1t is n
very simple contrivance and was ONLY co
days in passing through the 30 different
departments of the patent office, which
goes to show that Mr.. Rarnes's idea is
tents of a similar nature.
The mechanism consists of a steel stand
ard, which passes through ihe car plat
form. At the top end Of the standard is
handle for the motorman and at the
other end is a small pointed steel shoe
which turns the switches. All street rail-
road switches are split switches and the
steel shoe catches between the split and
solid rail, which throws the split and
movable rail out of position. When a mo-
torman is nearing a switch he can throw
the steel shoe into position with a move
ment of the foot and the mechanism re-
mains in position until another movement
OF the foot releases it, Mr.. Barnes has
also had a joint switch patented. which
is made in such a manner that when the
last wheel passes over It is closed me-
chancally.
Mr.. Barnes has at his rooms on Cherry
street a small model of his invention.
which has been examined by the officers
of the Burlington Traction company and
other people interested in street railways.
AT present he is making a larger model,
which will probably be placed on some
car. The simplicity OF the contrivance
has made a very favorable impression on
all railroad men who have seen the model

unfortunates that the local corps has UNI
dertaken this outing. The CORPS will Sc
lect 80 Of the poorest children and
mothers in the city, under these two con-
dtions:
First, that the parents declare that they
cannot afford TO give iheir children an
outing of this kind.
Second, that they do not expect to have
an outing of this character through any
other channel
In this way the CORPS hopes 10 reach
those who are overlooked or neglected.
l ne outing will consist of a trip on the
Vermont to Fort Frederic. a free lunch
while there, games and sports, music.
singing, etc, returning the same after
noon. 1t is expected that the expenses
Of the outing will be ahou; $50 and any
excess of contributions over this amount
will be used in the work of the local CORPS.

ngs for the poor several times in the past.
He requests that contributions for this
purpose be sent to him OF to Mrs. Magee
