at any speed could be stopped in
comparatively short distance. 1t also
meant easier and more comfortable
travelling, as it became possible to stop
trains at stations easily. Then came
ventilators, screens for windows and
the automatic coupler to save the lives
of employees.
1t is a matter of ancient record that
every new thing, regardless of merit,
Is treated lightly, not only by surface
thinkers, but by men of broad caliber.
1t seems natural to look at innova-
tions this way or, rather, it would ap-
pear that few persons are big enough
to see ahead. Along with the auto
matte coupler, or little ahead of it,
arrived the signal system, manual and
automatic. This operated to keep
trains apart, If the engine drivers
could see the signal. Right here came
the demand for something that would
keep the train apart when the loco
motive driver failed to see the sig
nails.
Railroad managers said that auto
matte control of trains or stops was
desirable, but smiled when asked if
it were possible This attitude of
the railroad men resulted in congress
appointing a board of engineers to
look into the question of automatic
control of trains and signals. This
board was known as the Automatic
Signal and Train Control board and
reported to the Interstate Commerce
commission.
The commission is now conducting
a nationwide search for device that
will make derailment, collisions and
wrecks impossible, and TO Anatol Col
los, Chicagoan, has fallen the honor
of being the first inventor in the coun-
try to procure an official investigation,
the reward coming after three years
of work on the automatic train control
and recorder. Tests are made by the
government only after the prelimi'
nary inquiry has shown that the de.
vice Is practical.
The tests Of Mr.. Gollos' invention
are being made on the main branch
of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
railroad, under the personal super
vision of H. J. Lyon, inspector OF
safety appliances for the commission
and will cover a period of six months
The results of the tests already
made have proved eminently satisfac
tory. In one instance a passenger
train was placed 500 feet from the
block containing the third rail. The
test train came along at 40 miles al
hour and was stopped by the automat
ic device 800 feet from the end o.
the passenger train.
The Gollos automatic train stop de
vice consists of charged third rail
about one hundred feet long, placed
at every block. The energized tract

ence. If there is another train within
radius of one mile and a half,
there is a break in the track, or any
| thing wrong at all, warning is givel

| placed near his seat. If he does no

Country of Few Tunnels.

Although there are 1000 miles Of
railroad lines in Uruguay, there is but
one tunnel in the entire country. 1t was
bored more for the purpose Of pre-
venting excessive curves than to avoid
unusual engineering difficulties. The
relatively fiat nature of the country
makes railway building, less expensive
than in other South American coun.

BY "GRAVY."
BY "GRAyY."

One of the longest ring careers or
modern times was that of Peter
Maher, who for more than score
of years was one of the top-notchers
of the American ring. Peter was
born in Galway, Ireland, forty six
years ago today, March 16, 1869, and
was sort of ST. Patrick's day gift
for his parents. He grew to height
Of nearly six feet, but during his ring
days he was never much more than
middleweight, as he seldom entered
the ring weighing over 1876 pounds. If
he had had little more meat Peter
would almost certainly have become
champion, for he was one of the hard
est hitters the ring has ever known.
When he fought Bob Fitzsmmons on
the Mexican border in 1896 he landed
a blow In the first round which Ruby
Robert testified was the hardest he
had ever had to assimilate.
Peter began his career in a Dublin
brewery, and later became a barkeep-
err in Dublin cafe. He had never
had occasion to use his fists until one
night when a row started in the pub
lie house, and one Of the roisterers
threw a mug at Peter. That aroused
his ire and he waded into the gang
| ing friends then insisted that he dis
play his prowess in the ring, and at
| length he consented. Maher was
then nineteen years old. a tall,
| gangling youth, and weighed less
| than $50 pounds. In 1888 he defeat
! ed Martin O'Hara, Tim O'Doherty and
other boxers, and the next year
| he made good showing in an exhibit
| ton with Peter Jackson. In 1891,
| when he decided to emigrate to
America, he was the middleweight
champion of Great Britain and Ire
land, and could not even get a
match with the heavyweights.
Makers first fight on this side was
with Jack Fallon, and he knocked
him out in the second round. He then
met three men in one night at Madi-
son Square Garden, and knocked them
all out in the first round.
In California he met Joe Mccall, a.
giant standing nearly six and a half
feet and Weighing 225 pounds, and
put him away In the third round. He
! also knocked out Joe Godfrey and
Mike Monahan, but in 1892 he lost
to Joe Goddard, the Australian, and
was defeated in a twelve-round bout
with Bob Fitzsimmons in New Or
leans.
Billy Madden, who had been largely
responsible for inducing Peter to try
his luck in America, was Makers
second in the Crescent City battle. A
big crowd of nearly 5000 fans filed
the olympic club, which had hung
up $4,000 for the bout. In the sec
ond Maher landed a glancing blow

Philadelphia. After he quit the ring
he returned to his old trade of bar
tender, and was employed by Jack
Shelly, the once famous feather
weight, in his Yonkers hotel. Peter
always claimed that he was given a
raw deal in many of his fights, owing
to the influence of the high-up poll
ticians, who bet on his opponents and
demanded decisions accordingly.
