After Gettysburg was fought and
won. his thirst for more education
landed him In Union college. Two
years there were enough for him. The
magic OF machinery called him away
from the academic life, and he found
happiness again by taking up his old
work in his fathers factory. 1t was
while working there that he invented
the air brake. Railroad managers who
first jeered at his idea of stopping p
train with wind had to eat humble
crow. In a short time the invention
was in universal use and had reyo-
lutionized railroading. as locomotives
could be constructed that would travel
at high rate Of speed. so long as
they had that little lever In the cab
which by a single turn of the en-.
gineer's wrists would bring the train
to standstill In half its length. In
the United States all railroads are
compelled by law to use the device
and this was adopted by congress
and everywhere around the great
curve OF the world the whistle of

came with his purchase from Gaulard
