A Hair-Raisinq Predicame Mt.

For an improbable occurrence the
predicament which befell an English
engine-fitter would be very hard to
beat. In the course of his duties
some time ago he had to take part in
the repairing of a locomotive.
To do this he had to squeeze him
self into the water tank, the inlet
of which was exceedingly small. He,
however, managed to get inside with
out much difficulty, but was Mortified
on finding that he could not possibly
get out again.
His fellow workmen did their best
to get him out, but all in vain, and
finally the helpless prisoner became
utterly exhausted and lay in the tank
unconscious. Before he could be res
cued from his prison house the engine
had to be taken to pieces, and a num-
Der of mechanics were Immediately
summoned for the purpose-English

No Longer Fortunes Toy.

The doom of the high automobile
prices has sounded. One can buy a
better car today for $1,000 than he
could few years ago for $4,000. 1t
is only matter of time now until any
man who can afford to keep horse
can afford to own an automobile.
Automobile building was more or
less of an experiment up to a short
time ago. But now it is an exact sci
ence. When the modern car is turned
out of the shop the makers know that
it will run and run well. Close watch
ing of the performances of the earlier
machines has pointed out the defects
of construction. These have mostly
been remedied. Shops are better
equipped now. Cylinders, crank shafts,
axles, gears and the like are made in
great quantities by special machinery.
The cost of labor and material has
been much reduced by system, until
now it is possible to turn out much
better machine than formerly and
charge about half the original price
for it. Truly good touring cars are
offered for as little as $1,000. Run
abouts that will give ten times the
service of any horse and buggy bring
$500. The higher priced cars give
the buyer better finish and higher
power, but the cheaper automobile is
very satisfactory car in most cases
and has the support of thousands Of
users in moderate circumstances. And
this is only the beginning. The years
will see a yet more pronounced drop
| in prices, while quality is maintained.

Metal sIeepers in india,

1t is understood that metal sleepers
of cast iron box form have been tried
on the Oudh & Rohilkhand railway, half
mile of track having been laid on
them in vicinity of the Lucknow sta
ton, when F. ID. Fowler, whose in
vention they We're, was engineer-in-
chief of that line. These sleepers are
about the same weight as the Indian
Midland railroad cast iron pots, and
believed to be as strong. 1t is prac-
tically the same shape as a timber
sleeper, which is more easily packed
than any other, and, it is claimed, is

Safety for Electricians.

The increased use of electricity on
the Pennsylvania railroad has led to
a study of the dangers of handling
live wires and the methods that must
be employed in resuscitating those
who have been stunned by an electric
shock. A special pair of pliers has
been designed which enables a man
to cut live wire carrying $4,000 volts
without danger to himself. To re.
move the wire from body when no
other means are at hand a coat is
placed under the wire and lifted by
the sleeves to raise the wire off the
body. This was found perfectly safe,
even when the garment was damp.
Experiments with fire streams
showed that there was no danger of
the current flowing down the stream
of water even from a high-voltage
line when the operator held the noz-
zle at a distance of between three and
four feet from the wire. Experiments
with chemical extinguishers showed
that they were very dangerous where
solid stream was played on the
wire.

Slipshod Warning Sufficient.

On one occasion the engine of a
freight train in certain island in the
West Indies had completely broken
down, but no thought was given to-
the danger that threatened the follow
ing passenger train till it happened
to occur to an official that some steps
should be taken to avoid another more
serious accident. Accordingly, the man
slowly rolled cigarette, lighted it,
and strolled up the line in the direc-
ton of the approaching train, where,
having selected comfortable position,
he sat down upon the grass at the
side of the metals. AS soon as the
train approached, the man, by this
time half asleep raised himself from
his recumbent position and held up a
warning finger.
This slipshod method of indicating
danger was, however, quite sufficient
to cause the driver to see that some
thing was wrong, and he promptly
stopped the train and, alighting from
his engine, proceeded to discuss the
!! weather, and incidentally the break
down, with the official upon the bank.
