SATURDAY, MAY Il, 1907.

It is said to be fact that not half a dozen English locomotives are pro- vided with efficient modern recording speed indicators, whereas on the con tinent about 10000 are in use. There it is said, they are practically compul- sory on all passenger locomotives and in some countries every mainline freight engine is also provided with one. A law in France, and laws about to be enacted by Holland and Bel gium, require every passenger loco motive to be thus equipped within a given time. Speed indicators on the continent, it is stated are considered as important as steam gages on boil CTS and automatic brakes on trains. The engineer, it is reasoned, would no more disregard the speed indicator than the steam gage, and therefore only as the result of mental aberra- ton could an accident occur from ne- glect of the railway company's speed rules.
