by the recording apparatus.
The next action which may be described, is
when the contact shoe engages with partially
energized contact rail, which indicates a caution
condition. When this occurs, the engine appa-
ratus is again set for reduced speed as when
starting out, and the whistle blows continuously.
IT, in the meantime the train in the advance
block has moved on, or any other obstruction has
been removed so that the next contact rail is
in clear" condition, the cab system will be auto
matically returned to normal, full speed condi-
tion when 1t passes such contact rail, and the
whistle will stop
On the other hand, If the danger condition con-
tnues and the contact rail is de-energzed de-
noting danger, the train will be automatically
stopped when its contact shoe comes in contact
with this de-energized rail This stopping will
also be recorded, and at the time chime
OF two whistles will be sounded to warn the en-
gineer that this is a stop application.
If the engineer desires to proceed. he must
press button on the cabinet door, which resets
the automatic apparatus to caution or slow speed
condition. Having reset the instruments he may
now proceed as in the first instance, at con-
troed reduced speed
II the engineer has observed a danger signal

passing the rail- The pressing of this switch is
also recorded However. If he should attempt to
pass rail by pressing this switch before the
train has stopped. he would cause a stop appli-
cation. After passing the de-energized rail, as
before described, the train may proceed under

and recorded. In order TO insure the proper
operation OF this system, and TO record the ac-

control ana at predetermined speed only. The
wiring is specially constructed so that any
crosses or grounds will cause danger condition.
If repairs cannot be made Immediately by the en-
gineer. he may cut out the instruments. when

Another feature of the device is its elasticity
and adaptability to the movement OF any and all
kinds of trains, irrespective of their motive pow

The initial purpose is to promote the safety of
railway operation and to eliminate all danger

of railways and to make such record as will

guidance, but any failure, to do so Immediately
and automatically relieves them of said con-
troll AS soon as the conditions permit of safely
doing so, the control is again and automatically
restored to the engineer.
The system is of the intermittent contact rail
type with the engine apparatus clear or inopera-
tive while running between points of indication.
When the engine shoe makes contact with the
contact rail- the engine apparatus is still held
clear or imperative, provided the contact rail Is
energized IL II is desired to make the control
of the speed of the train continuous instead of
intermittent particularly in congested terminals,
the desired object is accomplished by making the
contact rail continuous. Both the contact rail
and the shoe on the engine are SO constructed as
TO keep them within the limits Of the safety
clearance requirements and personal contact
with the contact rail is not injurious.
The manner in which the purpose OF the sys-
tenn is carried out is as follows:
-Shen a train Is standing at a terminal or at
aay other point, the automatic apparatus is I'm

M predetermined reduced speed. When the
engineer opens the throttle to proceed 1t auto

whistle continues to sound and the reduced speed
regulation continues until the train contact shoe
engages with a clear contact rail This rail be-
ing fully energized supplies current which sets
the control in position TO permit the train to
proceed at full speed and also stops the whistle
The contact with this shoe is recorded by re-
cording apparatus and the contact also causes
the lighting OF a signal lamp, in the cab. The
massage of this rail is acknowledged by the en-
vineer, who presses button which puts out the

TRICKS THAT BULLETS PLAY

II has been truly said that, once you fire bull
let from a modern rifle, none can forecast what
il will do or where it will ultimately come TO

Globe it is capable of upsetting all known cal

the Nile and placed under awning at least
3 500 yards from the nearest point of possible
fire This should have insured him an ample
margin of safety, but none the less stray bullet

Shortly before the battle of Gniss in the
Sudan, Gen Sir Archibald Hunter, Colonel Hack
et-Thompson, c. b., and another officer whose
name escapes me- were reconnoitering through
an opening in the wall Of disusad sakeeyeh, or
waterwheel. The hole in the wall was so small
that the officers had to stand one behind the 9TH
er to see anything. The officer whose name
forget was in front using a pair of binoculars,
while Sir Archibald Hunter in the The

glass of the binoculars attracted the attention OF

day.

'TWlXT BULL AND BEAR
How Two callfornians Released Themselves
From a Critical Situation.

f. s. Collins, postmaster at Knights Ferry.
Cal, and Samuel Baugh. blacksmith. have just
escaped from an encounter with bull and a
bear which they will not soon forget, the New
York Sun states.
Collins bought a bull and had him in a corral
Just above Knights Ferry. He and Baugh went
out TO inspect the purchase when the angry ami
nal started after them and gave chase. Collins
reached a nearby tree in safety. but Baugh was
not so lucky. and crawled instead into near
by cave, just in time to escape the charge OF the
bull.
He emerged hastily, however, and again the
bull charged him, and he sought refuge in the
hole a second time. Finally Collins warned the
blacksmith TO stay in the cave, saying that the
bull would tree them both and keep them in the
field all night For answer. Baugh again Jumped
i'm and out OF the cave and moment later, as
the bull charged past. grabbed the animals tail
and threw him.
AS both men climbed the fence. Baugh ex.
planned why he didn't remain in the cave. There
was a bear inside which disputed his ownership.
The two men returned later and succeeded In
dspatching the bear and two cubs.

The inventor, Anatol Col
los, was born i'm 1877. Early
I'm life he showed a marked
interest in mechanical sub
jects, and after a general
education was sent TO a
manual training school.
There he studied for six
years. Electricity, though
then in it's infancy, had at
,racted much attention and
Gollos dropped all other sub
jects for a special course In
electrical engineering.
After serving a rigid ap-
premiership, Gollos went to
Germany. There he stayed
for four years, during which
time he superintended sew
eral big government jobs.
In 1903 he came TO Amer
lea. and the following year
found him in charge Of the
main switchboard at the
Louisiana exposition In st.
Louis.
Opportunities in Mexico
attracted him and, after the
close OF the exposition, he
went to Mexico City. There
he remained for year,
serving as superintendent on
various electrical installa-
tions. He was in charge of

SOME NEW SIGHTS At
Mr.. ANDERSON'S FARM

Mr.. ]. T. Anderson has just COM
pleted magnificent 200 ton con-
crete silo on his large plantation on
the Powder Springs road and also a
large and well designed barn.
One of the prettiest sights we ever
saw was on the lower floor of this
barn filled entirely with the finest
registered Hereford breeding cattle
in the State. The head of the herd,
bull of his own raising, Beau Ro-
yer, weighing $500 pounds and as
big as a Hippopottamus is a sight
worth travelling miles to see. He is
only six years old and was bought
when just year old calf. The
other cattle range on downward to
calves just born and they are little
beauties too.
Mr.. Anderson expects to show
three herds at the Macon, Birming-
ham and Memphis shows this fall
and if he don't win some big prizes
it wont be the fault of his cattle. He
will show an age herd, a breeders
herd and calf herd and believe me
they will be herd" from in the win
ming list. There are about seventy
head on the farm.
A fifteen horse power engine was
busy cutting ensilage and the big
silo was nearly full and down in the
bottom land stretching for a mile
was the best field of corn we ever
saw-seventy acres Of it, This will
make large yield and make more
feed than they will know what TO
do with. Sudan grass which was
planted this year has already been
cut three times and is almost ready
for another cutting and of course
there is plenty of bermuda and other
pasture for these excellent cattle to
enjoy. They certainly do have all
the attention that an experienced
stock man can give them.
Other visitors were at the farm
and expressed surprise and delight
at the manner in which things are
managed by Mr.. E. M. Legg and Mr..
Charlie Anderson the herd man.
OF course corn and cattle is not
all that is raised on this splendid
100 acre farm" but it would take
book to tell all one would like to
tell about it and it's owner. Mr.. And
erson is not only farmer of unusual
degree of foresight and determine
ton but business man as we'll and
his business like method is what has
made his farm such wonderful sue
cess.
The day will come when the entire
county will be as well fixed, and
when it does they will quit talking
about California and other places
that think they know how to raise
cattle and crops. Cobb can lick the
whole bunch on show down now,
anyway
