were then paid $4,000 for their serv-
ices in court during the actual trial of
the case. At the conclusion OF the
case they are said to have presented TO

Plan Proposed.

The proposed plan OF Cummings is saic
10 have been to have had the receivln:
appa atus in the cab OF a locomotive
where the engineer could see the rec
light and where the apparatus could b.
made to operate the eir brakes OF tn
train.
After examining the device CONSTRUCTED
by Cummings, Professor Knowlton said
The apparatus as 1t stands looks
Ike Il sincere attempt Of applying
wireless teIegraphy to q block signal
system, The idea is not far fetched.
i'll my opinion. and might indeed prove
practicable. The chief problem for
the solution Of the inventor would be
that of reliability as wireless appara-
tus IS very delicate and subject to
fitfullness In operation unless kept
carefully adjusted.
This apparatus could be made to
explode charge of dynamite at a
short distance. perhaps not more than
a hundred feet. With the apparatus
We have al the university laboratory,
could explode dynamite anywhere
In this valley. There is no evidence
here, however. of the adjustment Of
the receiving apparatus for discharg-
Ing any kind OF explosive.
