ENGLISH RAILWAYS DO WELL
Net Earnings During Last Year Were
Five Per Cent More Than
the Previous Year

The paid-up capital Invested IN the
railroads Of the United Kinkdem
amounted in 1910 TO et,31s5l5.Oo0-
having increased BY slightly more
than four millions sterling on the hg-
ures for 1909 The net earnings out
OF which dividends were paid amount
ed to e47,356,00e. an increase Of
e2222 600. or 40 per cent, on the
year before.
This was the net result Of an IN
crease IN both receipts and expendl-
lures, says Engineering. The traiic
receipts, the highest ON record show
ed an increase Of three and a half
millions sterling, the amount being
1i4.2 million pounds, Of which f52.-
75s 600 came from passenger traffic
and the remaining slxty-one and
half millions from goods.
The number of passengers carried,
exclusive OF season ticket holders
was 1906. .72s 900. There was a large
increase in the proportion Of third
class passengers. chiefly due perhaps
to the action Of the Great Western
railway IN doing away with its sec
ond-class service on long-distance
trains. This would not account, how
ever, FOR the total increase Of $4,000,

A ne device for stopping railroad
trains within space Of their own
length or a little longer, and without
the aid motorman or engine driver,
was demonstrated for the representa-
lives Of the Long Island Railroad
company recently by Thomas 7.
0haloner. the inventor According to
Mr.. Chaloner, the device stopped a
two-car electric train travelling at the
rate 81 so miles per hour, within 800
feet
The invention is an overhead ar
rangement operated from signal tow
ers. It consists Of a vertical pole at
the Top Of which Is a steel horizontal
bar extending across the tracks one
inch higher than the top Of the car
Each car protected by the invention Is
equipped with an electrically controll-
ed system connected with its air
brakes. A small plug protrndes from
the top Of the car Just far enough to
permit it to be struck by the horizon
.al bar. which is lowered automatically
BY the man IN the signal tower stimuli
taneously with the setting Of the dan
ger signals. When the bar strikes
the plug. the air brakes are set and
the train is brought to stop.-Mon.
