Telephoninf from Trains.

1t is announced that successful tests
of device for telephoning from u
moving train have just been con-
Quoted, conversations being carried
on with perfect understanding be-
tween persons on the experimental
train and others in the city of Louis
vile. KY. The device depends for
its. success upon establishing connec-
tion between the train and the tele-
phone wires running parallel TO the
track. A jet Of chemicalized steam is
thrown from trolley encouragement
ON the pilot of the locomotive to the
wires. thus completing the circuit
without involving the rasping sound
of trolley wheels or other means of
securing moving contact.
The frst f6onghf IN this connection
is that by means of telephony com
munication can be established be-
tween one train and another, thus
reducing the chances of collisions to
minimum. For example, if all
trains were equipped with this de-
vice-and all trains should be so
equipped Immediately upon full proof
of practicability-it should be posi-
BILE for each engineer to always know
the train ahead and the train behind.
A system of reports from train to
train at certain places and times could
be devised as check upon the block
signal system, being regarded, how
ever, only as safeguard against the
failure of the latter. In no case could
trainmen safely be relied upon to
manage their own schedules, or as
sumo responsibility paramount to that
of the dispatcher or the towermen.
OF course train telephony will be u
great convenience to travellers. To
keep in constant communication with
Office or home will permit degree of
comfort and advantage in railroad
journeys never before known. To
business men there will be distinct
gain in keeping in touch at all stages
Of the trip. 1t will be similar to
maintaining communications with the
shore by wireless telegraphy while
on board ship at sea. There may be-
an ultimate disadvantage in thus
being fettered by the facility of inter
course. but this is one of the penalties
man must pay for living in the siren
nous age. -Ex.

in the immense verandas, when the

evening. The grounds surrounding
the hotel form a beautiful park. in
which cocoanut trees grow in great
numbers. among the beautiful flower
beds, which are all in full bloom now.
The Breakers hotel, the second
largest at Palm Beach. is in an ideal
spot, right on the beach, and it is
here every morning between the
hours of 10 and l2 the guests all
gather to enjoy the surf bathing.
which is rare treat, especially so
