ocHtiol anu at predetermined speed only The
wiring is specially constructed so that any
crosses or grounds will cause danger condition
IL repairs cannot be made Immediately by the en-
glneer he may cut out the Instruments when
the tram can proceed, but if this is done record
is made
Another feature of the device is it's elasticity
and adaptability to the movement of any and all
kinds of trains, irrespective of their motive pow
er or frequency The system will work equally
well on trains operated by steam, electricity, gas
oilne or compressed air, and whether such ap-
plication is direct by means of the trolley,
third rail or storage battery methods.
The initial purpose is to promote the safety of
railway operation and to eliminate all danger
from lapses of memory on the part of the en-
gineers or others connected with the operation
of railways, and to make such record as will
provide exhibit of proper improper opera
ton and observance of signals and orders
The control of the movement of trains is in the
hands of the engineers just long as they OBJ
serve the restricting signals provided for their
guidance, but any failure to do Immediately
and automatically relieves them of said
troll 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 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. If it 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 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:
When train is standing at a terminal, at
any other point, the automatic apparatus is in
such condition that the train only proceed
at a predetermined reduced speed. When the
engineer opens the throttle to proceed it auto
maticaIIy starts a whistle in the cab. This
whistle continues to sound and the reduced speed
regulation continues until the train contact shoe
engages with 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
passage of this rail is acknowledged by the en-
gineer who presses button which puts out the

lamp and this acknowledgment is also recorded
by the recording apparatus.
The next action which may be described is
when the contact shoe engages with a partially
energized contact rail, which indicates caution
condition. When this occurs, the engine appa-
ratus is again set for reduced speed as when
starting out. and the whistle blows continuously.
If, in the meantime, the train in the advance
block has moved on, any other obstruction has
been removed that the next contact rail is
in clear" condition the cab system will be auto
matically returned to normal, full speed. condi-
ton when 1t passes such contact rail, and the
whistle will stop
On the other hand, if the danger condition con-
tinues and the contact rail is de-energized, de-
noting danger, the train will be automatically
stopped when it's contact shoe comes in contact
with this deenergized rail. This stopping will
also be recorded, and at the same time chime
of two whistles will be sounded to warn the en-
gineer that this is stop application
If the engineer desires to proceed, he must
press button on the cabinet door, which resets
the automatic apparatus to caution slow speed
condition. Having reset the instruments he may
now proceed in the first instance a con-
trolled reduced speed
If the engineer has observed a danger signal
and stops his train before the contact shoe comes
in contact with the de-energized rail- he may if
necessary, in emergency, pass the de-ener
gzed rail. In order TO pass the de-energized rail
a separate and distinctive switch is provided
which must be held down continuously while
passing the rail. The pressing of this switch is

train has stopped, he would stop appli
cation. After passing the deenergized rail,
before described, the train may proceed under
caution operation at a predetermined, controlled
reduced speed.

advantages of these advantages would be
lost, if the system could be freely manipulated

TRICKS THAT BULLETS PLAY
Life Saved by the Hook of British Officers
Helmet Chain.


1t has been truly said that, once you fire a bull
let from a modern rifle, none forecast what
it will do or where it will ultimately come TO
rest Even when a bullet has uninterrupted

Globe, it is capable of upsetting all known cal
cuIations of its flight and range Before the bat

the Nile and placed under an awning at least
$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
ate up the intervening three miles or desert
struck him in the head, and killed him.
Shortly before the battle of Giniss, in the
Sudan, Gen. Sir Archibald Hunter, Colonel Hack
et-Thompson. c. B., and another officer whose
name escapes me, were accommodating through
an opening in the wall of disused sakeeyeh, or

that the officers had to stand behind the 9th

while Sir Archibald Hunter was in the rear The
CLINT caused by the setting shining on the
glass of the binoculars attracted the attention of
a dervish who, together with others, retiring
along the Nile. He stopped, took aim, and fired
It was a very good shot, for it sped through one
lens of the binoculars, through the brain Of the
officer holding them, killing him the spot,
through the shoulder of Colonel Hacket-Thomp-
son. and finally lodged in the breast of Sir Arch
ibald Hunter where, l believe, it remains to this
day.
The vagaries Of a bullet when it touches the
human frame are almost beyond belief During
another Sudan battle I saw an officer, a friend
of mine, go down apparently shot through the
head. To my surprise and relief I met him
walking about after the battle apparently none
the worse. save that his head was bandaged

'TWIxT BULL AND BEAR
How Two cafornians Released Themselves
From q Critical Situation.

E. S. Collins, postmaster at knights Ferry,
Cal, and Samuel Baugh, blacksmith have Just
escaped from encounter with a bull and

Collins bought bull and had him in a corral

out to inspect the purchase when the angry ami
NAL started after them and gave chase Collins
reached nearby tree in safety, but Baugh was
not lucky, and craWled instead into a 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 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
in 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 bear inside which disputed his ownership
