OIL TO REPLACE COAL
GERMAN RAILROAD MEN EXPERT
MENT WITH NEW FUEL.
Preliminary Tests Made With the Die
sci Locomotive Said to Have Been
Successful-Plan Much Like
That Of the Automobile.

Germany. which seems to take the
lead in recent years in trying to find
something better in railroad motive
power, has just been putting a Diesel
locomotive through preliminary tests
which are reported to the Electric
Railway Journal as having been sue
cessful. The new locomotive is start
ed by air pressure, and driven by oil.
The general plan approaches that of
an automobile in some respects, for
the locomotive embodies main four
cylinder N-engines working on 20 a
crank shaft coupled to the driving
axles. AS it runs it stores up. in ON
| pressors, air for starting the engines
The main engines are Of the reversible
~tWo-cycle type. single acting. They are
arranged III two pairs, inclined at so
degrees to each other. Facing cylin-
ders drive on to a common crank pin,
with forked connecting rods. The two
cranks are set $50 degrees apart.
When running at 3o4 revolutions a
minute they drive the locomotive at
a speed of 62 miles an hour.
lie sequence OIL ~peTaLlOnS As as lJI-
lows: An auxiliary engine has first TO
be started up by admitting air to it,
slowly at first, from the air reservoir.
After the auxiliary has been changed
over to oil power the pressure in the
air storage cylinders rises and air
supply is admitted to the main engine.
which consequently begins to work.
When a speed of about six miles an
hour has been reached the starting air
valves are thrown out of action and
the engine is changed over to oil
power, and works automatically.
Speeds up to go miles an hour have
been made in the tests. Operation is
said to be economical, though figures
are not given in the Electric Railway
Journals report. The engine looks
considerably like a closed car, and is
free OF smoke stack and smoke. There
is a hardly noticeable exhaust pipe in
the 'oof OF the engine.

Rat Halts Seven Trains.

three passenger express trains n
four fast freight trains We're held up
by a rat for considerably over half an
hour on the Pennsylvania main line
at Moore's Station, Pa, between Will
mington. Del, and Philadelphia. The
rodent had eaten the insulation off
a large cable containing wires that
are an important factor in the opera
ten of electric signals. This caused
a grounding Of the wires, with the
result that the signals were put out
of business.
The trouble was first discovered by
the engineer Of an express train. The
signal at Moore gave him a clear in
dication," whereas he knew another
train was but a short distance ahead.
Rather than take chances he stopped
the train. Then other signals at that
place began to act queerly. An at
tacle known as a signal maintainer,
stationed at a nearby in~terlockina
tower, began a hurried investigation
as other trains arrived and were held
up.
Matters were becoming serious, the
entire line being affected. until the
trouble was discovered. The insula.
ton had been eaten OFF for fully five
inches. The difficulty was remedief
by installing new insulation.

INGENIOUS Railroad SIGNAL.

A safety device for railway signal
Ing has been invented by a Stoke-on-
Trent (Eng.) railroad worker. 1t CON
sists of a metal attached to the ordi-
nary signal-post. O~yerhanging the
end Of the arm is a pendulum disk
which, when the signal is at danger,
comes into contact with another disk
at the top Of the engine cab. auto
matically putting on the vacuum
brakes. The inventor claims that
there is no possibility Of the mechan-
ism being smashed by the impact. The
pendulum disk would revolve with the
blow. and in doing SO would generate
electricity, in the matter Of a gal
vanic battery. BY means OF an insu-
lated wire and an electrical relay in
the signal-box it would intimate to the
signalman that a danger signal had
been passed. When the signal vas
down the arm would be automatically
pulled up out of the way of the IN
CINE disk. The invention would be
comparatively cheap to install.-Rail-

Cooler for Hot Journals on Cars.

Several railroads have recently
adopted a new safety device for cool
ing hot journals on railway cars with
out crystallizing the metal. Ordinar-
lily when a car develops a hot box
the train crew puts out the fire and
cools the journal by throwing cold
water on it. This usually c~rystallizes
the metal and sooner or later the jour
nal burns off" and perhaps causes a
wreck. But the real cause OF the hot
box is a rough place in the journal or
the brass above it and the best way to
treat it is to cool 1t slowly until the
journal runs down to a proper bear
ing. The new device ~accomplishes
this by dripping water on the hot jour
nal while the train is running. II is
hung on the car in such a way that the
heat of the journal and the motion OF
the train keeps it from freezing

Curious Railroad Rides.

years ago involuntarily travelled from
London to Grantham on the cross rods
connecting the brakes of the wheels
He was attending to the brake gear
ing when the train suddenly started.
Some time ago a man coolly seated
himself on the buffer Of a freight train
at Carlisle and travelled as far as
Lockerbie without being noticed
While passing the station he was seen
by some of the railroad officials, who
at once ~telegraphed to the next sta
ton for the train to be stopped. The
buffer-rider was then removed and
sert on his way. 1t was considered
thai he had been sufficiently punished
by his perilous journey.-Observer.

BOMB THROWER AT LARGE
Baron Hardnge Will Soon Leave the
Hospital.


The native Indian fanatic who
hurled bomb at Viceroy Baron Hard
inge has not been caught. A reward
of $4,000 has been offered for his ar
rest. The viceroy soon will be able
to leave the hospital for the vice
regal lodge.
The viceroy accompanied by the
vicereine, Baroness Hardinge, mount
ed on the back of an elephant, was
making his entry in state into Delhi
as the last of the ceremonies in con-
nection with the transfer of the
capital from Calcutta to Delhi. The
splendid procession had just left the
railway station when the bomb was
thrown.
The powerful missile was hurled by
a man standing on housetop and 1t
struck the howdah, or basket, OF the
elephant in which Lord and Lady
Hardinge were riding. The attendant
holding a large parasol over the vice
regal pair was killed instantly as the
bomb exploded The howdah was
blown into matchwood,
Three splinters of the bomb pene-
trated the back and shoulders of the
viceroy and he also wounded in
the neck by screws, with which the
bomb was filed, and which passed
through his helmet.
The physician who removed the
metal splinters from the wounds de-
clared it marvellous that the Yiceroy
escaped fatal injuries.
