 Many other prominent roads are pre- pairing to try the telephone as a sub stitute for the telegraph. Those com panles which have tried the telephone declared that they eliminate the fndif- ferent telegraph operator so often found. The train dispatcher finds that he can call stations and deliver mess ages much quicker by telephone than by telegraph. He can deliver his or. ders directly to the engineer and con- ductor when necessary. The one re- ceives the message and repeats 1t to the other, who writes 1t down. Then the one who has received the message reads 1t over to the one who wrote 1t down. and he in return repeats to the dispatcer, who puts his O. K. upon it. A carbon copy of this order Is then put in box kept locked for the pur- pose, SO that there will be no missing link in the chain of evidence should an accident happen.

It is also arranged so that he can talk to one offics down the line and be calling another at the same time.

Wireless telegraphy was thought by some to offer a solution of the problem of safe railroad operation. but tnis hone has proved unfounded. That " works well was shown by the experi- ments of the Chicago & Alton. which made some experiments with H. T. was believed that passengers would make liberal use of 1t between termin- als and therefore 1t would be com : merciaI success When this was found to be an error, the railroad also found that 1t could accomplish the same ends by cheaper means. so the wireless tele- graph ceased to figure as train con- trolling agency.
 It Is probable that when the board concludes it's investigations 1t will have found devices which will elimin- ate collisions entirely. It will then re- commend their compulsory adoption. Judgingfl by the past there will be great kick by the railroads. They kicked Justify against the safety coupler and the air brake. but after enforcement of the law they agreed that 1t was a wise one. That some thing ought to be done to protect the travelling public, and that something can be done Is shown by the figures for recent year. There were 321 pas sengers killed in the United States that year, and 1000 injured. During the same twelve months there were but twenty-five passengers killed in Great Britian and only 769 injured. The disparity grows when 1t is stated that there were i've million more tick cts sold in Great Britian that year than there were in the United States. Copyright. 1908. by Frederic J. Has kin.)

Preventing Railroad Accidents.
By Fredric J. Haslxin.

to protect the block 1t is supposed to guard. With the open curcuit system
 the very signal that was placed there
 to protect train might proclaim q clear track when the gravest of dang CTS were ahead; while the closed cir- cult, if 1t errs makes only the errors of caution. It may sometimes stop a train when there is no real danger ahead, but 1t will never advise an en- gineer of a clear track when there is danger in front of him.
 In addition to the block signal in-
 vestigation the board is investigating the matter of train control by auto
 matic agencies. What they are look ing for Is an apparatus which will au-
 tomatically stop train on the safe side of the danger line without out side interference. Such an apparatus
 must not only work out well on paper. but 1t must show up satisfactory under practical trial tests. Hundreds of au- tomatic train control apparatus have been submitted. but most of them have not filled the conditions which are laid down for their consideration. Some of these are freaks. but some of them have so much seeming merit as to lead the board to think that there Is hope of ultimate success in this quest for
 safety apparatus which Is really safe. One of the most interesting devices submitted, and one which Is soon to
 have tryout on the santa Fe near
 Los Angeles is the Simmons appliance.
 This is claimed by It's owners to pro-
 vide for automatic record of the move
 ment of all trains within each ten or
 twenty blocks. which will be the terri tory coveredsby each set of the appara- tus. In addition to this 1t provides for local automatic protection of trains. Tn
 each locomotive cab there is a bell and
 a light. giving both an audible and a
 visible danger signal. Besides this
 there is an automatic registering de-
 vice which registers the action of the
 engineer the instant he takes 1t. If he
 reverses his engine and puts on the
 emergency brakes. that action is reg
 istered. If he fails to do so that fact
 Is shown and the brakes are auto
 matically applied by the apparatus.
 The Invention also provides a means
 of interlocked manual control. which is so arranged as to make any false
 movement impossible. The invention
 has been examined by the board and is regarded as a device of sufficient merit

''Many are called but few are chosen" Is as-phrase which aptlly describes the work now being done by the Block Slg- nal and Train Control Board of tho Interstate Commerce Commission. Created by the Commission, under special auth horization of Congress, TOT the purpose of Investigating the ques- tion of safer block signals and or train control. this board has been carrying its investigations forward so rapidly that 1t expects to make compren en- sive though incomplete. report 10 con gress next winter. The Wo.k ol tne hoard is largely one of elimination. Sonna three hundred block signal de- vices have been examined. and all but sno,,t twenty of them have been put asida as not meeting the conditions necessary to justify favorable consid- eration.
 device such as the board is looking Tor. is that is must signal against It's own defects as we'll as against other dang CTS ah cad. Perhaps nine-tenths of the devices offered for consideration do moi possess this essential quality The average block signal device puts up the danger signal when there Is anoth- CT train In the block, and under the other operating conditions of rail- road so long as there Is no break in OA@ the open circuit principle. The danger signal goes up only when there Is a current of electricity passing through the wire. When the current Is cut of or the curcuit broken by accident or malicious design, the semaphore shows clear. Thus, if malicious person were to tamper with the apparatus or cut the wires, or 1t should in any way get out of order and fail to carry the current through, the semaphores would signal clear, no matter what dangers there might be ahead.
 The closed circuit apparatus over comes this. The senlaphore always stands at danger" when there is no current on, and can be placed at "clear' only by the application of the current As soon as the current Is broken by accident. design, or by the failure of the apparatus to work properly. the semaphore goes back to danger" and warns the oncoming train. No matter what goes wrong, as soon as there is no electric current passing through the apparatus 1t can be depended upon
