SIGNALS, THEN STOPS TRAIN
Invention Of Australian, Recently
Tested In England, to Prevent
Railroad Collisions.

A demonstration was given at Lon
don, Eng. recently, of an electrical in
vention by A. r. Angus of Sydney,
N. S. w. to prevent railroad accidents
by means OF electric automatic sig
mailing In the cab of the locomotive,
and the automatic stopping of the
train. Tests we're made with two To-
comotives on the Great Western rail-
road on disused section Of that sys-
tenn.
Electric wires were run beside the
track An arm from the engine trav-
els on the wire. When the train en-
ters a block in which there is another
train a whsle blows in the cab. I'm
mediately afterward, II the engineer
has not stopped the train. the electric
apparatus automatically cuts on the
steam and sets the brakes.
Two locomotives started from points
two miles apart at full speed toward
each other The engineers after
starting the mechanism climbed out.
When the locomotives entered the
same block the warning whistles blew
the electric mechanism worked and
the engines stopped within a hundred
yards of each other.

ALL SORTS OF QUEER IDEAS
Amusing Designs of Inventors unfa-
mlllar With Actual Railroad
Requirements.

Inventors always will be a queer
fraternity, says the Railway Maya
zine. when they venture upon ground
where the are ignorant OF technicali-
ties. We all know the famous pro-
posals for "featherbed" coaches. or
spring buffer vehicles, designed to abb
sorb the shock OF collision. when 1t oc-
ours, that ia, provided a catastrophe
does not happen when the buffer car
Is at the wrong end of the train, or is
laid up for repairs Another idea sew
eral times promulgated is that of al
lowing one train to pass over another.
But even these proposals do not ex.
haust the list as the patent records
and much newspaper correspondence
following every serious railway acci-
dent abundantly testify
Other suggestions of which we have
recently heard afford evidence of the
amazing lengths to which amateur
railroad inventors would proceed.
Here are few specimens. 1. Coaches
fitted with duplicating wheels, so that
I'm the event Of breakage one can be
removed and the reserve brought into
use without delay 2. Sewing ma
chimes operated from the axles of pas
senger coaches, for the benefit of in.

DESIGNS IN DRAPERIES

WIVES A WIDE CHOICE.
For Summer Curtains, Goodness and
Fresh Appearance ls All Import

Are the Present Favorltes.

The city housekeeper who must stay
with draperies. Her sole need Is air
and II she be sensible she sticks to
undraped windows and doors. For
the suburban and country house, how
ever. curtaining is all important
Never has the choice of these been
wider or more artistic than this sea-
son, and the woman who must rscur-
tain her house or furnish a new one
is to be envied.
In selecting summer curtains two
things are important: The fabrics
chosen must be cool and fresh looking
and they must be washable. Heavy
draperles are inArtistic. because they,
are inappropriate. This eliminates
brocades, silks and satins, velvets and
wool.
In curtaining summer house
choose nothing that will be ruined by
open windows. Where double cur
tains are used they should be easily
manipulated on the rods
Unless bedroom has plenty of win
dows double curtains should not be
used Some housekeepers prefer the
cretonne or chintz sash curtaIns.
These hang to the sill and work loose
ly on rods. While they shut out more
air than the net or lace curtain they
darken a room better, and II properly
hung can be pushed into small com
pass at night.
yhere is a fancy now for the val
ance across the top of the window.
This may be ten-inch rufle run on a
rod; but the shaped and stiffened val
ance is enjoying quite revival.
In treating any window or door. re-
member the simpler the effect and the
straighter the lines the better taste.
Puffed and much draped hangings are
bad form.

peries are shown variety of printed

MAKE BUSINESS OF EATING
Professionals Assist Diners Who Are
Compelled by Etiquette to Leave
Clean Plates.

One of the most striking customs OF
the past that are preserved by the
Indians OF today is found among the
tribes on the DEVILS Lake reservation
In North Dakota According to the re-
port of an officer OF the indian bureau
the Devils Lake Sioux have from
time immemorial adhered to curious
custom in regard to the treatment OF
guest. According to their etiquette
1t is the bounden duty of the host
to supply his guest with all the food
he may desire, and as rule the ap-
portionment set before the visiting In
dian Is much in excess Of the capacity
OF single man. But by the same
custom the guest Is obliged to eat all
that Is placed before him else he
grossly insults his entertainer. II
was found that this practice would
work a hardship, but instead OF dis
pensing with the custom the Indian
method OF reasoning was applied, and
what Is known as the professional
eater was brought to the front.
While the guest Is supposed to eat
all that is placed before him. II serves
the same purpose II his neighbor as
sIsts in devouring the bountiful re-
past, the main object being to have
the plate clean when the meal is fin
shed. It ia not always practicable to
depend upon a neighbor at table to as

sit beside them throughout meal and
eat what the guest leaves The pro-
fesional eaters are never looked upon
in the light Of guests, but more as
travelling companions with a particular

dollars for each meal where they as

HIS MIND MUST BE ALERT
Train Dispatcher Never Knows When
He VIII Be Confronted With
Most Serious Problem.

The fundamental law on all rail-
roads is to take care OF the regular
trains. Passenger service must fol-
low the time tables Mail aud ex-
press cannot be held up. Fast freights
with Derishable foods have to be
moved with all speed
After these problems receive atten-
ton there arises the puzzle OF NOV
Ing extras OF inferior grade with the
least loss OF time. Suppose an up
bound passenger on regular schedule
runs behind an extra freight which is
not fast enough TO clear the division.
The freight has to proceed as far as
II can and run on to siding In time
to let the passenger pass. Five min
utes Is the leeway ordered In such
circumstances.
An excursion train follows the pas
senger. The dispatcher studies his
sheet carefully. figuring whether the
siding-bound freight can get into the
next harbor safely before the pleasure
seekers arrive. Two or three extra
freights south bound must also be sent
ahead as far as possible in the inter
walls.
For the purpose OF trafic operation
trains are divided into three classes
each of which possesses certain rights.
In the first class are passenger trains,
In the second through freight and com
bination freight and passenger trains
and In the third such rank and file
as work and construction trains.
There is a rule that trains moving
in a certain direction take precedence
over trains OF the same class moving
in the other In the east the right of
way is at all times accorded to trains
moving east and north; in the west
Il goes to those travelling west and
south. These rules OF precedence
must not be ignored In the minds of
the men is firmly fixed the provision
that Inferior trains must clear the
time Of superior trains by not less
than five minutes.
In addition to the laws of the road
a dispatcher has to take into consid-
Grafton the condition of the locomo-
tive, the grades and curves, the state
OF the roadbed, and above all the hu-
man element as embodied in the train
crew.

FEAR TO DISPLAY EMOTION
Mistaken Sense Of What Is DisnIfisd
Is a Common Fault Of the
Times.


This Is not an age in which clear dis
tinctions are made in the meaning Of
terms. Grotesque errors arise through
haphazard conclusions drawn from
this loose method OF reasoning. One
of the popular misconceptions is that
the display of emotion on the part Of
men Is belittling and indicates a weak
ness Of character, disgraceful and
shaming to the victim, says a writer
in the Pittsburg Gazette Times. 1t
Is claimed by some that the natural
pr tesses of materialism and the hard
ening Of mems natures by the struggle
for success that the age demands has
brought about this contempt for any
thing like a display of emotion on the
part of men. 1t may be questioned,
however, whether this explains the as
sumed respect for callousness that Is
SO marked feature OF the times.
There is a false idea around as to
what emotion is, and a mistaken con-
ception as to its proper expression.
Hysteria is one of our national dis
eases. The excesses into which 1t leads
men and women have become the sub
ject of widespread contempt, sensible
people, feeling an instructive aversion
for this sort of exaggerated feeling,
have fallen into the error Of mistaking
sane, human emotion for hysteria and
have gone to the extreme in their ef-
fort to avoid any expression of feel
ing as womanish,' puerile and un-
manly
