Within the last ten years" said a
prominent railroad official, the Ameri-
can railroads have done much for fast
time aside from using faster loco
motives. This has been through the
shortening of lines and reconstruc-
ton of surveys in order to make a
given line as straight as possible be-
tween two points. It makes time by
saving distance
"A railway without a cLrve or cut
ting is. Of course, a splendid thing
from an engineering standpoint br' It
is a very tedious affair to the passen-
ger. To thoroughly realize how mo-
notonous a long journey on a railroad
with a curve or cutting is one must
travel on the road from Buenos Ayres
to the Andes. That railroad has more
than 200 miles of track perfectly
straight and through a country per
fectly fiat It is awful to ride over It.
The longest stretch Of straight track
in the United States is on the Lake
Shore railroad beginning at a point
three miles west of Toledo, o., and
running So miles without a curve"

Almost Perfect signal Apparatus on
Prussian Railroads.

The numerous railroad accidents
which have recently occurred in Ger
many because Of the failure of en-
gineers to observe the signals. have
caused the Prussian railroad admin
istraton, after numerous trials of vari-
Gus devices, to introduce an entirely
new signal apparatus
In cases Of fog it has often hap
pened that the locomotive engineer
could not distinguish on which side
Of the track the alarm signal stood
and has proceeded on his way. The
purpose of the new invention is to
bring directly before the eyes of the
engineer the warning that in a short
time a signal may be expected So
soon as the apparatus acts, he is noti-
fed that he will see a signal within
not less than 110 yards. If he cannot
discern whether the signal is to stop
or go ahead, he must halt his train
and go to the signal mast for instruc-
tions.
The apparatus is as follows: At
fixed distance from the signar post
two parallel iron bars with small
space between them are mounted
along the track for several yards.
There is attached to the locomotive
an arm which carries a bristly broom
made of pliable copper wires The
passage of this broom between the
iron bars produces a contact which is
intense and free from concussion An
electrical action follows upon the
mechanism in the cab, a bell sounds,
and a white slide replaces a red. The
sign remains plainly visible to the
eye until the engineer presses a but
ton He knows definitely that a sig
nal is to be expected, and if he cannot
clearly make out the order intended,
win stop the train.
